Game Day: Manly v Bulldogs [Round 3, 2022]

[Ryan]

Our coach is a myth, Bullemor should of replaced Tapau not Walker.

Agree.

Parker has been great this game though. I'd put Walks into the centres (possibly with Parker). Particularly if Des wants to bring Koula along steadily.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Crocker has surprised me today. Looking a lot better

 

[Snake]

I know it’s stating the obvious but nothing we do is quick...slow line speed, slow play the balls, slow shifts, slow hit ups...all effort areas.

The dumb errors are just a byproduct of taking the path of least resistance.

Tbh I prefer Jake moving into prop. I’m ok with it. Dylan to lock offers a bit more.

 

[swoop]

You agree with me then.

Marty is ****ing useless and has only played 18 minutes with no impact.

 

[Jerry1]

Hope the door was ripped off. Come on Manly..

It was also pissing down half that half mate.

 

[Ryan]

Okay guys, let the stress, anxiety and heart palpitations begin once again hahaha

 

[Technical Coach]

Better attacking setup with Walker not too wide and flatish allowing Foran to play more centrally not cramping up his outside space and giving him more options to play with.

When you have a probing sharpish linkman like Walker you keep the middle honest, unlike Jake who is not a threat to the middle most times.

 

[joeboy]

Even if we eek out a win. There is some serious issues.

It would be better for the team to lose after playing this badly

What is wrong with DCE?

Glad to see people are coming around on Harper and keppie’s ****e factor, they don’t deserve spots, need to be dropped and earn their way back in

This team is making des look like he can’t coach. Or des is making them look like they can’t play.

Both are an issue

 

[Ryan]

I agree with @Waz13 @Snake , the Dogs are in the same boat, and they've been up tempo the past few weeks.

 

[mave]

Dave just made 5 tackles in a row to start the half

 

[HoldenV8]

One thing people seem to have forgotten about this Manly team.....

Right now we are missing Josh Schuster's play out on the left edge.

 

[Supreme Leader]

And we got rid AFB?

That's a tough one. You can't sign a prop for 3 years with doggy knees. How much cap do you have on the bench injured. Think we have seen that before.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Agree.

Parker has been great this game though. I'd put Walks into the centres (possibly with Parker). Particularly if Des wants to bring Koula along steadily.

Concerning. Like they are stuck in the mud.

No kick pressure, not moving up in numbers in defence, no back slapping and energy.

Hopefully we can turn it around

 

[bob dylan]

I dont see the Burton hype.

He kicks it high?

I think a win is what we need. Manly are a confidence side. They are playing very poorly and its attitude. We have seen it in the past, but once they jag a few wins things can turn around quickly.

Just need to aim up this second half.

 

[Technical Coach]

Again, some head-scratching moments right from the kick-off. Keppie should have been hooked for throwing the ball away on the second tackle of the game and gifting the dogs a try. Harper has to overstayed his welcome at the Last Chance Saloon as well. They need to know if they are going to play like that they are going to be doing it for Blacktown.

But thank God for Foz and Reuben. We're lucky to have a lead at the half. Happy enough if we simply don't blow it from here.

At least Foz tries to play safe and direct challenging the line at times to mix it up, DCE could learn a thing or two of not overplaying your hand.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Farkkkk me. DCE, get some composure on the field FFS

 

[HoldenV8]

Ah I hate the bounce!!!!!
