Post-Game Discussion Eels v Manly [Round 16, 2023]

[HoldenV8]

MVP is going to be hard to pick. Least worst player I think.

For mine the only Manly player who deserves a vote tonight is Tolu Koula. Unfortunately he had 16 team mates playing like 💩

 

[HoldenV8]

34% possession and we kept it down to only 10pts, at least that was impressive.

Given how we actually played, that says more about their 2nd half than it does about ours.

Utter disgust
On my birthday weekend too.
The ref gave us nothing but boy even when a team has a off night you don't play that played.
Disgusted and we can sugar coat it all we want with turbo Jake and DCE but we are not a top 8 team and without flano next year we will go backwards even further.

I dunno how Schuster can be labeled as a “potential best player in the world”. Who makes the ****e up. Is Schuster even playing? I know Shyster is. Nothing worse than blowing hot air up someone’s skirt.I expected this as we have little spine when our big 3 are out. No one putting their hand up. Going from last week to this tells me that. We are still relying on baby formula to grow.

Don't forget, Eels 6,7 & 9 are all out, too. That on top of 5 first grade forwards. Tonight we pretty much played their NSW Cup team.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Thought Keppie and Bully was the best of a disappointing forward pack today.

The first 10 minutes stopped any momentum, than error after poor discipline.

 

[Buugee]

I'm OVER our inconsistency. So over it. We've been consistently inconsistent since 2017... that's a bloody joke. And I'm tired of us having a mad win then backing it up with a terrible performance. So inconsistent for so long when are we going to break away from this...

 

[NREagle]

Can't wait until origin is over so we can see our team play again.

No cohesion at all tonight.

Schu is not ready to be a leader.

DCE and Tom make their teammates better players.

Feel for Jake and Tom. They both deserve a premiership but we are as far from winning one as we've ever been.

Not sure where the team should go from here.

Going to be a long off season if we keep serving this up.....

 

[JenEagle]

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.

NYEagle

Lol I remember that guy. That was in 2014. John was his first name from memory

Fortunately, I didn't see the game but was reading comments. I'll force myself to watch it tomorrow.

And having not seen it yet, the fact that Parra had between 70 and 75% of the ball in the 2nd half, how did they only score 2 tries against us? Did we not at least have a go in the 2 nd half? They really should have put at least 50 on us. I'm trying to find some positives coz the game was gone at half time thanks to the sin bin and dropped balls. So did we not at least show some fight in defence not to get torn apart?? Just asking.

 

[Ryan]

This is about where we are at as a team. We'll win 35-45% of our games, land around 12th - 15th (I don't think after last week we get the spoon - I hope). We'll keep recruiting flops like Johns, Woods, Tuilagi, Roache, Taulau, Condon (and other plonkers) - particularly while you have coaches that actively and openly have their attention on other teams improvements, rather than our own.

I hate this footballl team

 

[davohan123]

I still think we are worse than when des was with us nothing has changed.

Yes we had out DCE Jake and turbo
Parra had there 6,7,9 and starting front forward out

As has been said before DCE turbo and Jake cover up the others mistakes.

This is going to be a long rest of the season.

Why the hell would you put yourself through that? Don't watch it.

We will be lucky to make the 8 even with those guys in the team. I've said it all season.

Guess you weren't saying that last week !!

We don't deserve to make the 8. We can't string two decent games in a row. This club, this team is ****ED.

That performance tonight was appaling

 

[Eagle 1]

Can't fault Bully or Sipley. Both tried pretty hard.

Effort was there but not the application.

 

[The '47ers]

Not a footy brain between them all

And not a heart either
