Game Day: Manly v Broncos [Round 10, 2022]

[madmax]

There is absolutely no pressure on Reynolds kicking. I’d give Walker the job of getting in his face. The rest of the forwards are gassed.

I think Marty is playing ok…..no support from any of the others. Aloiai nowhere near the input of the past few games!

 

[joeboy]

There is no defending this ****. Anyone who tries just isn’t watching. We have and have had, major problems with our performances all year. I can’t believe how lethargic we look, I can’t believe how dumb we play, I can’t believe how poor our shape and structure is. We look dreadful and do nothing with purpose.

So far off the pace that it doesn’t even matter, the coaching is an issue or the players just do t have the smarts to listen. Either way, it’s a big issue

Our captain needs to wake up to himself. Those kicks were pathetic

 

[bob dylan]

I hear that none of our forwards have made more than 50m.

It's a wet game, the forwards need to step up or we are toast.

Marty 55

That was just about the perfect half from the Broncos.

With absolutely zero ball, DCE kicking on the 3rd tackle was just about the stupidest thing he could have done. Any time we were down their end we just looked lost and they made easy metres out.

Typical that @Eagle of London laughed at that comment, hey @Soup 🙄

 

[Waz13]

Don’t worry people I’ve just chucked my unlucky jersey and donned lucky green blob!
A positive is we’ve been down this type of margin and beaten these guys before in sone second half classics!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

It's just soft from the first kick off. No line speed, no intensity, no enthusiasm, no leadership or organisation. This all comes from preparation and our preparation stinks. What sort of mindset is Des sending these players out with. I see no signs of encouragement in the future of this current team and nothing coming up from the lower grades to indicate anything but more years of mediocrity.

Let’s face it , the game was decided in the first two seconds !!

 

[KNUCKLES]

Soon as I seen the jerseys I knew we were in trouble. And what do u know. Both games we hand over the football off the kick off!

 

[349]

Would like Manly to play first three sets and put a kick on the end to get some possession, DCE kicking for miracle play on third after no possession is killing us.

 

[sheridanstand78]

We are really poor!
Allow the kickoff to go dead, allow a steal on the first tackle after a line drop out. Our left winger out of position for try 1 and give Reynolds all year for try 2.

Simply put we are being out enthused in a huge way.

This is a recurring pattern this season, crap starts, behind the 8 ball and chasing our tail is all too familiar.

We really need to bite the bullet and get in a decent 9 as we are getting killed there.

It is also clear that Tommy is far from fit. We are in trouble in this game is an understatement!

 

[KNUCKLES]

Sorry, KNUCKLES, but have you ever seen DCE play before? It's just not the type of player he is or has ever been.

I have, and I've been cursing ever since

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

The media said the senior players were REALLY unhappy with the club around the Foz decision. Maybe the players have turned on Des? I know I'd struggle to buy into his bull**** systems - even his press conferences are an embarrassment.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Des bought back Foran. Des put the shoe on ice in the forwards to accommodate Foran. Des took up the foran option on foran for a second year which kept the shoe out.
The shoe wanting to play 5/8 came out via his manager to cause problems. If anyone should be on the nose its the shoe.
Do you just make **** up for fun?

 

[mave]

Said it once, will say it again. We will know the mindset of the team for tonight within the first 5 minutes of kick off.

It is the same every week.

All it takes is one set to see if we will win or lose.

 

[Ryan]

agree mate

des is living in the past, has not adapted to the new NRL and new rules at all and all he has done is complained about them

how about learn and adapt?

we are soft, slow, and pathetic

And as roster decisions go, we are letting Foran, Walker, Taupau go, and signing another plodder in Tuilagi, because we are cap strapped. Tell me where the improvements coming from? Certainly not Des coaching.

standard.

 

[The Indian]

Cmon Brookie Home crowd get behind the home team....lol

 

[Eagles4Life]

Now or never Manly. C'mon boys let's show some heart and pride in the jersey for ****s sake.

[Mark from Brisbane]
