[Steve76]

Just been leaked walker and api on piss with corey Norman at a pub in parra last nite. ???

Seems like dce's flu was worse than a lot thought.

 

[HoldenV8]

The reality is that for some reason this team has turned to $hit ever since Siro and Jorge got injured.

Lane is decent, but he doesn't have a football brain. And all Matty Wright brings is goal kicking and even that has suffered a form slump.

 

[Nordburg]

Anyone that complains about the Broncos and their 7 day turn arounds,Manly have only had to travel outside of Sydney twice since Rd17 and they have had nothing shorter than a 7 day turn around

I wouldn't even say Lane is decent.He's lazy and has no impact in tackles or hit ups.All qualities that he showed in reserve grade and at the Dogs and Warriors

 

[BOZO]

Wonder what happened after the Sharks game. Manly have not defended well since

This is what happened . Great players consistently perform well and the average players can only take you so far .

 

[brad]

F***ing serious , do we need to check our brains in at the door to support Manly?

Warriors in NZ, and then the Panthers................the facts suggest we will lose those games.

We lost to the teams that are 13th, and 15th in the last 2 eeeks.

The 12th team should start favourites

No mate you dont have to check your brain in at the door . Bad game move on , all im saying is abit of optimism, some on here death ride us every game .

 

[brad]

Are you watching what I'm watching Brad??

Obviously not!

Yes i did.

 

[killerspud]

And the worst part of today's loss is that in no way known can we put any blame on the referees. That loss was all our own fault.

Put simply, we blew it.

I say we blame the refs anyway.

 

[HoldenV8]

Until Winterstein used some of the energy he had saved in the 70 minutes prior by not doing anything, I thought Lane was our better second rower, even if he did do some dumb things at times.

 

[brad]

That has got to be tongue in cheek, surely? Or I seriously doubt your state of mind.

A bit of Monty Python in there somewhere?

No its not mate , im speaking how i feel. My state of mind is fine .

It is not fair to compare a second year Team forced to play without their 2 most accomplished, senior players, with the established Manly sides.

The players do not go out intentionally to play like they did today.
It is up to the Coach to identify the issues, then impart that to the individual players

 

[Tomay]

Bad attitude and a lack of intensity again. What was worse this week is at times the looked like they didn't care. I got worried when I read about Barret's spray - these sorts of things rarely work and can tend to place doubts in players heads rather than give them confidence.

 

[brad]

No apparently because I tell it like I see it @brad suggests I mightn't be a Manly fan.

Hilarious , they are ****ing hopeless, and we won't win another game.

BUT

I reckoned they'd finish 12th, so they've done better than I thought.

Whatever mate .

 

[conanu]

Dce. 1 run , 4 metres. Fearless leader..
I'd like to see cullen and hastings in halves next week..
Definitely wouldn't lay down like ours did today.

That wasn't DCE's fault. Our forwards dictate how well the halves perform. Since we lost Sirro we have gone backwards. Perrett, Lussick, Brown are really poor 1st graders. Add Kelly to that and it is no suprise we are garbage.

@ReadingThePlay
Wonder if true reports Walker, Koroisau & Tafua with Corey Norman on drink in bar till near midnight last night in Parramatta?

But as Sterling noted during commentary in the second half... while he would prefer a platform to work from and it does make things easier, he just needs to get in there and make something happen. He didn't.

And as a rule, he doesn't

The Press conference wont leave us all feeling warm and fuzzy.
