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

[The Wheel]

Feel for the fans that went out to this one.

I feel for any fan still watching - including myself

 

[Ranga]

Looks like we went on a week long bender after the Dolphins win...

 

[mave]

The **** was Garrick doing? It’s a simple number up.

He's getting burnt, just like he did to old man Aitken last week.

 

[bob dylan]

Now does anyone doubt why DCE, Turbo and Jake get the money???

Does anyone think the NRL should charge the fans the same price to watch these games when most teams are without their stars.

 

[HoldenV8]

Not much to choose from for the 1, 2 and 3 tonight. Pretty much 💩 across the board tonight.

 

[eagle66]

Don't worry, the weight of possession will shift soon.

 

[Seagles68]

70-30 possession to Parra. How is not 50 yet?

 

[Waz13]

Thank god f/a is not really relevant for us this year.

 

[Eagles4Life]

I think this has been our worst performance all season. The whole team has been a disgrace. I am not going to single out any individual, except to say that I can't rate any of our players as playing at first grade standard tonight.

 

[The '47ers]

Does anyone think the NRL should charge the fans the same price to watch these games when most teams are without their stars.

Don't know, but our club should reimburse all our supporters that paid to be there tonight!

 

[Jerry1]

Oh well normal service resumes.. Top half of the bottom eight where we belong..

 

[The Royal Soup]

Manly

Can never get over the advantage line
never dominate the ruck
have zero tuck speed
slow hooker
pea heart forward pack

disgrace

 

[HoldenV8]

If they call this a penalty its not only BS but confirms it will not be our night.

Sanity prevails.

 

[mickqld]

Siebold can’t coach. He just cannot get our team to perform and be consistent. This is all on him.

Not only that but his team selections are now questionable. Weekes, Aloiai are simply not up to it. No pressure on kickers who put bombs up at will to unprotected wingers. Forwards with no enthusiasm at all. Drop Condon for Woods fuk me seriously.

 

[Darknstormy]

Seriously did these guys go through rep footy through their juniors?…if you can’t catch or hold onto a ball then how the hell are you playing first grade..occasionally mistakes happen but there are a lot of players in this team that are repeat offenders

 

[NYEagle]

Surely whenever Turbo is out Garrick has to go back to fullback for the foreseeable future.

Sick of watching this rat-tailed work experience kid.

Agree. he made one break on the left side at Brookvale during junk time and some people still can't shut up about him.
Reminds of that half about 8 years ago which kicked one 40-20 against Canberra and people were talking about his potential for a year. can't for the life of me remember his name.

Feel for the fans that went out to this one.

This was the Eels old boys game. They've had every decision go their way and this inexperienced ref is not up to it.

Manly is missing all experience and Croker is overcooking it. It was lost when Weekes was sent for ten. Parra aren't trying to catch the ball they're just running through and jumping but they are timing it well and hiding it well.

Aloia is done.

Some of you love hating on this team.

Crickets on soon

 

[bob dylan]

Tbh I’ve not seen a worse display from us for quite a while (well maybe the game v Bris). Dropped so much ball.

Titans earlier in the year?

The following week vs Broncos?

The draw vs Newcastle?

Not saying they were worse just trying to refresh your memory.

 

[HoldenV8]

Not only that but his team selections are now questionable. Weekes, Aloiai are simply not up to it. No pressure on kickers who put bombs up at will to unprotected wingers. Forwards with no enthusiasm at all. Drop Condon for Woods fuk me seriously.

I get the feeling the Woods call was more for his experience in what is a relatively inexperienced side without DCE, Turbo and Jake.

Either way it hasn't worked.

 

[mave]

Another 4th tackle restart....what is wrong with these people?
