LOL

If they were half as good in their actions as they are in the gab they would be leading the comp.

Well, I guess the commitment has been stated and written. they live or die by this based on their actions in the next 10 games. On no, now I'm at it.

Salary cap and injuries playing the biggest part in the fall [ or a bit ] of the fall from grace this season .
D C E antics definitely not helping but that has more manifest in his own serious drop off in consistent form then the team collectively .
Just can not underestimate the loss of Paseka ,almost S O O level when he has been really on in recent seasons .Alioia at his best and as a starting prop , really missed as well .
Turbo misfiring or not available for most of the season .
Maybe could or should cope with one or even two of these disadvantages but all combined , really making it difficult to get to maximum competitiveness

It is very difficult to build on competitiveness and win games when after 3 years the Manly Mentor has not been able to build, Galvanize and Inspire a resilience culture
How Many Wins against the wall have we won under Seibold ?
How Many Winnable games have we lost under Seibold ?
It is easy to make excuses @manly al
The fact is No one gets paid to make excuses at a work place
We all get paid to find solutions
Excuses dont win games
Excuses dont get you anywhere
Excuses dont win you anything .
The most boring , Underwhelming , Uninspiring people at any organisation are all the underachievers that have no winning solutions but try to justify keeping their jobs by making excuses .

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

looking at the remaining draw for the 25 season, I can only see perhaps 1 win.(35% chance)
we play the tigers twice and if lucky, will win one of those.
with Luai, Koroisau leading the tigers, we probably wont have a chance on both occasions.

no chances against rabbits, raiders, bulldogs, dragons, roosters.
very sad indeed.

I’d almost guarantee the team will surprise you and win a couple against all odds.

Regardless we’ll finish, 14-17 which is still a disaster

Two or three bad injuries over a year is basically a given for every team.Can hardly say Aloia is a champion. He is normally bagged on here every second week.

He is ok but if a side can’t handle losing a good prop and an average first grader in the pack then it probably shows exactly where we are at.
And Ola has just gone missing now , so that can’t be part of the excuse.

Other than Turbot ( whose replacement is fantastic) our halves and three quarters have been available all year.
Our3 or 4 wingers are much of a muchness so can’t say a few weeks out with a couple of them is any excuse.

Standard NRL injury year and no worse than most other teams.
Nothing like some of the really bad injury years we’ve had in last decade.

I understand that losing sharpens the focus on the coach and the administration, but it seems irrational to me to almost exclude the players from any responsibility. Turbo acknowledged as much in his recent interview; he didn't shy away from that fact, and I'm willing to bet that most players would say the same.
We all know things aren't ideal at the moment, and a degree of disharmony is to be expected, but the incessant criticism of the club that seems to be filtering through every discussion can make for hard reading. And before someone starts lecturing me about strong people not making excuses and the like, please consider that we all want the club to be number one, and we all share that pain that comes from losing. Far be it from me to tell someone else what to post, but a modicum of positivity (now and then) would sure be a welcome relief.

Yes, the players also bear responsibility for losses, as do the coaches, the administration and the owner. It does seem at times that incessant criticism of anyone but the coach is acceptable though.

How many times have we heard that the forwards are plodders, DCE is a white anting traitor, Turbo is passed it, Jake should retire, Ben has never been first grade standard, Croker is useless, Brooks was a waste of money, Saab can’t catch, etc etc. I’d say the players have copped plenty on here.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I have also heard mention once or twice that Penn is a penny pinching absentee owner who is the reason we will never win anything, and that Mestrov should go back to the greyhounds.

What are the positives again?
