Post-Game Discussion Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

[Wombat Junior]

Siebs said Jazz and Burbo won't be playing next week.
Apparently Jazz felt a pop in his hip and had to be carried into the sheds.

I think that was the worst game I have seen DCE play - his continual turning the ball in to players like Waddell was so negative and got Manly zero results. Walker completely outplayed DCE, so why do Easts want him??

Blobo would be now realizing this, has Cherry actually signed yet ?

 

[Supreme Leader]

Seriously, season over. We played like we do every week, like sh#t. Too many errors.

Eagle 1 mention DCE.... was he on the field tonight....oh yeah he made one great defensive tackle....
Kicking game was sh*t.

 

[Darknstormy]

If Tom didn't have a magnificent reputation he wouldn't get a run.
There was a time when our attack removed all around

Unfair ...TKO had more runs and metres than anyone and then made more tackles. He deserves our MOM.
The million $ players..Tom and Cherry wouldn't be worth 400k each atm I'm sorry to say.

I said on paper

Nothing official but in between rumours and even people mentioning it like Matty johns on his late night show makes it obvious that everyone behind the scenes knows about it.

Watch the pre game interview with DCE when Cronk asks him about it, DCE started blinking that rapidly that he nearly started to fly and he doesn't ever deny it just throws one of his many cliche sayings like "I'm just focused on manly and our season right now" every time someone asks him about it.

 

[Nambawan]

Quite glad when that game ended. My lady hit the nail on the head when she said Manly were woeful and she felt rather offended by it. We honestly played like we had no idea, hopefully we can jag a win or two in the run to Mad Monday.

This season is now over for Manly. It was a dismal night and a very dismal, and INEPT display by the Manly team. But the basic defects have been visible to many supporters now for several weeks - mainly a forwards pack filled with slow past their best journey men discards from other clubs, plus a backline that has some key players who are in decline, plus little back-up depth. Next season I think the main priority will be to find and stick with an effective dummy-half who can scoot as well as pass. But first will have to thoroughly discard most of those players who simply are not up to NRL standard. The standard of recruitment and team selection must improve on what has been happening in recent seasons.

I agree with you I have been saying this for a while I agree we are bottom 8 side
And won't win many more matches this season

To come home from Brookie wet, cold and despondent and read that Manly players were laughing after such a loss makes me feel sick! I was tempted to walk out in disgust and in hindsight I should have. The conditions were appalling and it was so hard to watch them play as ineptly as they did.
I can't understand why they had no desire to tough it out, like the Roosters did, when a top 8 position was on the line?!

I've ditched any plans to make the trip to Canberra next week. If we play like we did tonight, we'll be annihilated.

 

[Eagledare2dream]

I live 5mins from GIO, now planning to stay as far away from the stadium as I can so I don't hear the horns and Faiders fans laughing at me.

Ditched all your plans Manly fans, they don't deserve any of us. What a disgraceful effort, as passionate as I'm maybe my membership for 2026 done. Bunch of F######### useless F*********

We have been largely poor since losing the semi last year.
