Game Day: Manly v Bulldogs [Round 24, 2017]

[Ryan]

Lovely to see two of our imports laughing and cracking jokes with the Morris twins.

Useless SoS.*

*Sacks of Sh-t.

Who were they mate?

 

[Eric Galt]

Where is Sia Soliola when you need him? I don't want to remember the last two weeks.

 

[NLSeaEagle]

Toovey got sacked for finishing on 26 points. Just sayin!

Loved Tooves!!

 

[Jerry1]

That was kinda ordinary...

 

[globaleagle]

The last couple (few) of weeks is the type of effort that usually has a coach and Captain apologising to fans in press conferences.

 

[Simonmyers11]

I cant believe how the team was playing with so much spirit and enery, great goal line defence and number 1 in attack only 6 weeks ago. And now we look like wooden spooners. Speechless

 

[Steve76]

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.

 

[HoldenV8]

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.

 

[wombatgc]

Worst performance by DCE.

 

[qldeagle]

These pricks need a wage structure where they get 50% payment on a loss and 100% on a win. There's no incentive when they get full payment no matter how they play.

 

[Moops]

I wish I was having a cold one with you sitting by the fire.

SERENITY NOW!

[Jerry1]

yeah man, lets make sure we start him for the next 18 months, he deserves it!

Was probably our best - had a dig.. The rest were just plodding along..

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Poo is in 😛

Manly is in

He showed urgency whilst he was on. So many others only woke up in the last 15 minutes.

DCE must be injured.

 

[Jerry1]

Yes it's disappointing, but with the squad we have we have overachieved this year, regardless of what happens from here. You all seem to forget when we lose that we are playing with a $1 million handicap in the salary cap, which is an insurmountable burden to overcome. The squad is thin - we have no depth to cover obvious deficiencies at center and backrow. The slide started with the injury to sironen and Kelly's loss of confidence/form. But you all start crying like bitches if we aren't challenging for top 4. There's been some real highlights this year, and with full squad, we have pushed and beaten some of the heavyweights. Get a grip.

This WAS THE DOGS...

From what I hear, we don't have a million dollars to spend. Apparently it's not that simple.

 

[The Indian]

The lack of effort across the board was just mind blowing.

JAKE had a crack.....not sure who else did.

No point saying anymore about that effort....it will all be said ten times over this week.

Some heads hung in shame surely

While I do agree, the fact is that we could have had a top 4 spot all sewn up and when it has come to the crunch we've lept from over achieving to playing like we'd struggle to win a game in NSW Cup all within the space of about a month.

I am totally at a loss in our lack of a defensive line.

Walker strolling across field is insane, then Turbo started to do it too 😱

In attack we have a defensive structure. Each player could stretch out their arm and touch his team mate. Flat as a tack and all 1 meter behind the poor dummy half.
No depth to actually have someone run onto the ball and potentially through the opposition 😕

Manly just not mature enough yet as a Team, is the kindest comment that I can make

 

[Aussie Battler]

Today was terrible, but FFS does the offside penalty still exist in the game. Teams are able to strangle the life out of games.
