Game Day: Manly v Cowboys [Round 13, 2018]

[Highflier]

FMD good work DCE u have played the cowboys back into form and made Thurston look like he is 21 again
Hopeless not one repeat set it’s not rocket surgery u can’t win games without repeat sets !!!!

We've lost to most of the clubs in the bottom half of the ladder.

This has been surprisingly bad. I have to put it down to our kicking game and soft defence. That's our season ended, what a dismal season. DCE hasn't kicked one well, Hodko has hit a few good ones a few meh, but we haven't had enough possession for these collective efforts to be good enough.

Some of this defence has just been pure embarrassing, we put everything on the line for a few minutes then let go of all the hard work with the most pathetic efforts

 

[Kevinward777]

Pathetic

 

[Class of 96]

As ugly as a pig with warts!

 

[HoldenV8]

Based on tonight's game at least, its no wonder Qld didn't pick DCE.

 

[TimmyQ]

Finally...a repeat set at minute 71

Defence has been good. Dumb field position turnovers and shocking kick options killed us.

Old man one-too-many JT has schooled our embarrassment of a captain tonight.

Its ok HK, we only have another 7 years with him as halfback.

 

[Disco]

Lets at least give Marty a try to help my supercoach team

 

[HappilyManly]

After 72 minutes we remember to kick for line dropouts 😕

 

[Cliffymagic]

Old legs hodko showing million dollar man how to get a repeat set.

 

[HoldenV8]

70-odd bloody minutes to start getting repeat sets when we're down by 14....

FMD

 

[HK_Eagle]

Hahaha, it's like Hodko has said to DCE, "I've had enough of your sh*t, give me the ball and I'm taking over the kicks" lol

 

[HappilyManly]

Laney knocks himself out to complete a dismal game

 

[damiennp90]

Bad luck Shaun. Your best game so far champ

 

[Kevinward777]

I’m now officially in the sack Barrett camp. @strone33 old mate you’ve nailed it all along.

 

[HoldenV8]

Of all the Manly players, not that anyone does deserve it, but Lane didn't deserve that. He's been our best.

Hope he's ok because that looked nasty. The ground is a bloody hard thing when your head hits it, especially like that.

 

[highlandeagle]

Our halves are the worst in the comp.Brilliantly mentored by our coach who was also a half.

 

[hozza]

Hope big Lane is ok, very heavy knock there.

 

[grassy]

As I have said before our mentality is non existent.We are a dumb side.Probably too busy trying to knock off heads and coming off second best when we are pushing for players this year.How long has walker played for us this year and Tafua.They might as well not turn up at all.Nobody and I mean nobody with any brains on how we are situated for players this year who puts us in a position like this while we are already down for the count deserves to play in any side let alone Manly. No excuses we have outplayed ourselves.We are a dumb side.It’s about time some of our players grew up. Now poor old Shaun Lane has almost knocked himself out without being a dick. This is inevitable that this is happening.What else do we expect.

 

[Class of 96]

Great, our best player is injured. Sums up the night.
