MANLY v BULLDOGS Game Day Thread

[The Eagle Has Landed]

We have some massive problems atm can't defend can't attack what's going on?

 

[Jerry1]

Oh dear

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

One player would not have made a difference tonight imo

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

All i know is Snake is our most important player and the stats prove it. He organizes our defense and is a key part of out attack, until he is back we will struggle. We really need to learn how to score points while he isn't on the field. Im not sure what the solution is but whatever we are currently doing clearly isn't working.

Twice tonight I have seen us bring Hiku into the backline, and he has caught the ball with a lot of space off his shoulder but nobody running a hard line into that gap. It could be dangerous if Horo or someone read it

Im not knocking Hiku at all, he has been playing great, im just pointing out just how good Snake is.

I didn't mean you were knocking him mate, just pointing out a play that is there if the outside men read it right

Well it was a great era for Manly. 3 GF's for 2 premierships plus finals every year since 2006 but it's time was always going to decline and that begun when we managed to lose the best coach in the league.We now have locked in an ageing roster which lacks speed in the backline amd little grunt up front. This debacle has been brewing for weeks now and anyone who couldn't see that we have major problems has been watching with rose coloured glasses.

They've just looked so ordinary in attack, with no structure and it looks like no clue of what to do when they have the ball. Hiku first receiver in the Bulldogs 10m? The Bulldogs however are taking advantage of every opportunity. More like the NSW Cup side this week unfortunately.

Support play and fielding kicks. Two areas of our game that needs serious work.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Is Matai injured. Very quiet game, and missing some tackles

Can't attack fair enough but can't defend is a ridiculous call

 

[dowdz]

What has happened with our defense? Losing our attack was bad enough.

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

Nobody I hate more than Barba right now. He just has it so good at Brookvale.

Ennis would have to be up there

 

[conanu]

Cant watch this ****, Barba does sweet FA all year and finds form against us. WHY ARE WE FALLING OFF TACKLES!!!!!!! How are we so different to the Melbourne game??

 

[Rambo1987]

they are to big and we are missing tackles left, right and centre.

What 24 points in 46 min is great defence?

 

[ssar]

What the hell are we doing?!
We're letting them dominate us in too many areas..
THIS IS BROOKVALE FFS!

Come on Manly!

Josh Morris catching a kick ingoal and Foran dropping the ball ingoal are not examples of poor defence

 

[God]

Getting worse every week, not good signs.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

That's brutal. More of that please.

 

[COMMANDER]

Penalties 9-4 to us, can't complain about the ref's this week.

 

[dceagle]

Most teams that have been dusted this year have come back strong in the following weeks,hope this is our wake up call.

Embarrassing display on our home patch is the kindest comment I have right now
