Game Day: Eels v Manly [Round 16, 2023]

[mickqld]

Where is our fast play the balls that we had last week?

It's their week off for that.

 

[NYEagle]

OK, well TV off for me. What a pathetic team hang your heads in shame.

Saab needs a month in NSW cup - Cmon Seibo have some guts. As we know, Saabie likes a day off first grade as we saw last year. Still a piss-ant when it comes to catching the ball. He needs to watch footage of the Rooster Tupou who has been putting his body on the line for over 10 years, and still runs rings around Saab as a player based on his performance today.

This game also provides more evidence that life with Schuster after Cherry-Evans is going to be very very depressing. Slow, fat, and uninspiring. Also likes a day off first grade.

What a future.

He’s better than CT

CT had a better half than Saab?

 

[The '47ers]

We're just full of rainbow soyboys, we some half loose nutters with heart to not shy away from the physical stuff.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Unfortunately their is way too big a gap between our best and our worst.

I wasn't expecting much more, take DCE, Tom and Jake out of the side they can never seem to be able to get anywhere near their best. Other sides seem to be able to cover for missing players, but we fall in a heap

 

[frank stokes]

and put Cooper back there - no thanks

Cooper for JA? Woods is better than garlic sauce and woods is half what he once was…

 

[JenEagle]

Siebold has been completely out coached as well. He has not got the team up for this at all. It’s one thing to lose but to play like this is not acceptable.

 

[Eagle 1]

Weight of possession and not defending against adversity. Aided and abetted by the ref and bunker clowns.

 

[BirdMan4ever]

I think GCK should be hooker, croaker 7.
Bigger issue is our forwards , only 2 trying the rest total basket case. This is all too common now..they just don't lift when faced with adversity let alone be consistent.

 

[mickqld]

We’re playing like we’ve got 3 million on the sidelines.

So has the opposition, with makeshift halves. They're an embarrassment with their zero effort.

Ugly
But parra have gotten away with so much
How that was a send off I will never know.
No one is leading tonight.
It's all well and good to play well with turbo DCE and Jake playing but tonight no one is really putting in.
This tonight again says more about our coach than when we are at full strength.
This is ugly tonight and it's destroying my birthday weekend ( birthday on Monday)
Glad I didn't go out live to this match.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

these state of origin rounds should be scrapped. How can you expect to play without your best players.

With heart and effort. Panthers and Cowboys had five players out each last night and put on a cracking game. We're just not competing at all.

 

[BirdMan4ever]

This game means so much to us. And they play with no heart or brains.

 

[Waz13]

Yep the forwards are just roadkill once again.

Siebold should give the middle the spray of his life. Total disgrace tonight. What an embarrassment we should be rolling through them. Where the f$&@ is Paseka? Sips and Keppie s$&@! Aloai can just leave the club. Just go. Honestly. Stop the talk and actually just get stuck in. Really disappointed in this crap!!!!

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

Well we've got tonight's Ashes batting to look forward to. Let's hope its worth sitting up for.

Happy birthday mate, turn of the TV and enjoy

 

[Carl]

You can't win when you keep giving the other guys the ball.

No effort at all again
Shocking really
Oka is about the only one who looks like he cares tonight.

 

[Eagle 1]

Yeah game over. Without turbos and Dce we are bottom 4 or worse

And thats the quandary we find ourselves in. Without Tom and DCE we are rudderless

 

[XV-1]

People say without turbo manly are useless. Turbo is great but DCE is by far our most important player. We look completely lost without him.

We take DCE for granted as he is never injured and always plays. When he doesn't, we look rudderless.
However they way the forwards are being dominated and the backs making mistakes, even DCE wouldn't make a difference 2nite.
