Game Day: Dragons v Manly [Round 9, 2020]

[mave]

The main problem I have, is that we have got progressively worse each week that Tom has been gone.

 

[HoldenV8]

 

[joeboy]

The for and against will come back to bite us

Hahaha, like that matters

 

[wedgetail eagle]

Proper shame job.

 

[Nordburg]

This is not Manly, something is dreadfully wrong and mass changes need to be made

Starting with a change of captain

 

[Scorpio]

...and no fear of getting dropped.

I have a theory, which is most likely wrong.

You have a $1.3 million per year player, playing like rubbish most weeks, camps out at second receiver, and keeps getting named every single week.

Makes you wonder how that rubs off on the rest of the team, when they put in for much less money, only to see their efforts wasted when we can't even come up with a simple repeat set or a good 5th tackle option.

Maybe benching him for a game might do wonders.

 

[HK_Eagle]

I'm sorry, but tonight's completion rate has zero to do with missing star players.

 

[47MVEagle]

I have to laugh otherwise I'll cry.

Just bizarre & so disappointing.

I dont know what's going on at Manly but we're lost.

 

[Kevinward777]

Tafua, Elliot, garrick, Parker, croker, paseaka, Thompson, Levi

do not belong in first grade.

Several others are playing well below anything resembling thier best

elliott and Garrick would be a hotly contested Comp for worst fullback to play NRL

In this instance, I have to agree. Yet, how many d1ckheads were crying out for Elliot to play fb this week?

 

[Chuck]

Get him in there for Jorge. I'm sorry but other than the occasional big hit, Jorge offers SFA out on the wing.

Has been the case for some time.

 

[Rackets]

Is there a lol Manly thread? That was woeful

 

[mjb136]

​

Another game I decided to turn off 20 minutes into the 2nd half.

Only lasted to 10-4, knew where it was heading.

 

[davohan123]

This is not Manly, something is dreadfully wrong and mass changes need to be made

you nailed it.

i like everyone on here can cop a defeat but when they show nothing, no pride in the jersey then they deserve to be called out.

Something is seiously wrong and is hard to watch.

 

[Heisenberg]

Des has given the players plenty of time to turn this around. They haven't. That's on them.
If he doesn't bring in changes to the 17 for next week, well that's on him.

 

[Wombat64]

Is there a lol Manly thread? That was woeful

I think this is it ...... if you're not laughing, you're crying.

 

[Cioran]

Only good news is that the Bulldogs play the Dragons next up so we should still be three wins clear of last after next weekend.

 

[Frogz]

Worst performance for years...even twenty had us playing better footy. Total rubbish 3 weeks, Tommy T can't make that big a difference

 

[davohan123]

the only upside of tonight

8/8 in our tipping comp perfect round.

its the only positive for me out of tonight

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Jesus. That was probably the best team Des could have put out there in the circumstances and they serve up that **** sandwich. Reaction should be fun. Plenty of targets tonight, so let the bloodletting commence!

 

[Jerry1]

And FFS piss off Garrick as goal kicker - has cost us a couple of games yet we persist with the crap he's dished up this season.
