Game Day: Manly v Broncos [Round 10, 2023]

[zfinkels]

At least betting has become easy.

 

[KNUCKLES]

I'm sorry but turbo is a cat. No venom in his runs, and just just drops like a sack of potatoes when he hits the line. Even his missed cover tackle on cobbo was soft.

 

[God]

Did you see Turbo run it up on the last play. He didn't even get injured so there's a positive.

He's just phoning it in for the money, and we're paying BenT to keep him happy

• Parker
• Johns
• Croker
• Tuilagi
• Woods

Never going to win games with spuds like this especially when guys like Turbo, Garrick, DCE and Aloiai are having shockers too. What the **** do we even do from here?

Bet on them finishing last and take the cash oh wait the tigers, bet on them finishing outside the 8, there's a guaranteed win for ya.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Shame.
How can you question the team's resolve when you're ready to quit in tough times?

Doing what my much higher paid professional role models are demonstrating to me (a mere sausage-roll eating nobody)…. But you wanna question my gumption???

 

[Darknstormy]

Croker
Aloiai
Keppie
Tuilagi
Johns
Parker
Woods

Ask yourselves if any of the garbage above would make any other top 17..the answer is no and that is why we r doomed to fail

 

[fLIP]

I don’t feel for Tom. He’s 6 and a feet 100kg machine that isn’t having a go. He’s not out there injured, he’s out there fearing injury.

Have a ducking go and if injury comes so be it, but nothings being achieved in a canter.

 

[davohan123]

One thing I will say, to only be 20 down after a performance that inept is a minor miracle.

Broncos should be up by 30

And the scary thing is I don't think Broncos have got out of second gear.

This is a training run for them.

 

[bob dylan]

Any reason why Lawton hasnt been used yet?

Not that it really matters.

I dont think Ben will get a run, if he does it will be his turn to be the best Turbo on the field.

 

[davohan123]

Round 11 croker has to go or be 14
Bring in gordan
At least he may offer something in attack.

 

[Chunkytuna]

If even half of our squad played with the effort, toughness and determination of Croker on his modest salary, then we would not be in this situation...

He might be tough but he offers absolutely nothing in attack out of dummy half. No spark. No zip. Nothing. He looks absolutely buggers ALL THE TIME. From the opening set he seems out on his feet. We’re not going to win a premiership with him as dummy half. Sorry we’re just not. I like the guy but he’s useless.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Would love to see Gordon come off the bench and at least try to spark something out of dummy half. Engage some markers and throw a ball to DCE on the run.

Could even help get Koula and DCE into the game.

Broncos can be lazy around the ruck but crocker is too slow and pretictable to take advantage

 

[MadMarcus]

I’m so sick of being ****

 

[Wombat64]

This is so bad it is funny. You have to laugh at this clown show. Big match, big crowd and after getting done in the ass by the hopeless Titans and almost losing to the Tigers our response is to serve that absolute **** show up. What an arse **** of a team. **** 'em all off.

Please head over to @Woodsie optimist / pessimist poll and register your vote. The optimist part should be changed to deluded or pessimist

And DCE is topping the tackle count, kinks and out there trying to make every play.

Because there are a bunch of lazy F&C&ers in this club who care about contracts, not the jersey.

Exactly my thoughts mate

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

I’m tempted to join a few others and retreat from following this club. It just keeps delivering garbage this past decade and is becoming so far removed from what I grew up loving… and it’s not just about winning or losing. It’s the attitude, the culture, the basket case admin…

Sigh. I know what you mean. Watching this team gives me no joy whatsoever. Every set, in defence or attack, is just so goddamn deflating. I still can't believe how poor we are defensively, especially out wide. Even under-12s can count numbers and stay on their man. And what's the point of having Turbo back on the field when he'd clearly rather be somewhere else?

Ennis said something about the Broncos teaching us a lesson. But this ****ing team is incapable of learning anything. They make the same mistakes, game after game, year in, year out, and then stand around under the goal posts wondering where it all went wrong.

 

[Raffa]

i fuking hate these bunch of fuking pretenders

Couldn't agree more. Its ****ing pathetic. Cannot believe the state of the club after witnessing that near decade of dominance over 10 years ago. I'd prefer if they folded the club and gave our spot to a Perth club at this stage. The last few years have been significantly more painful than they have been rewarding. We're not even remotely close to where we need to be.

 

[XV-1]

Jake is shouting at Tom in the sheds. Tom doing a 2023 and ignoring him and looking disinterested,slowly.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Jake giving it to turbo at the half, good!
