Post-Game Discussion Manly v Cowboys [Round 15, 2022]

[Nordburg]

That’s what i saw, Nanai caught the ball in our 10m zone so the only possible way he could run 10m was to run over our try line with Robson already called off side.

We had no urgency in defence late in the game and they threw away a chance to win a game before we meet another title contender in the Storm.

Apparently the pass is included in the 10 metres

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

It proves we have a team to make the semis... there is no doubt... but we can't throw away games like that... we killed that. DCE can't steer the side...Saab can't catch a cold.... why didn't we have a plan for Nanai with the bombs.. ie Garrick to ALWAYS defuse and jump.... why did we get caught out with two drop outs and the kick off... what in the hell were we doing down there with Drinkwater and couldn't pin him. All small things but our attention to detail to lock this down wasn't there. I seriously think mentally we took the foot off the pedal thinking we had it won. But yes we have a side to make the semis... but can we?????

 

[Peter7]

Saab with 8 errors

 

[XV-1]

So deflated. Honestly feel like Manly were the best team but as luck would have it the rub of the green was on the cowboys side. Disappointed but some huge efforts tonight.
Onwards and upwards.

Unfortunately no team can be considered the best team if they let 3 tries in 7 minutes to lose.

That really is what is called the Worst Team

@BOZO you can take DCE and keep him up in QLD

seriously dumb play from him tonight

 

[Darknstormy]

We are the dumbest team in the comp.....no contest.

And until des leaves we will remain that way unfortunately..ohh and he can take dce with him

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

what a joke of a team

pathetic

clocked off, we won’t make the 8

they were fabulous for 73 minutes.

 

[Karshy]

Well the Robson try was a complete load of ****. Robson was 5m in front of the kicker and definitely became involved in the play (made himself a pass option) before the ball travelled 10 and likely received the ball before it travelled 10. Can't defend that trash from DCE for Holmes try.

 

[niccipops]

Wish I was eight so I could cry about it and then get distracted by a lolly.
Does anybody else think the cows got away with 1000 forward passes?

 

[Eagles4Life]

We are a better team without DCE playing a game management role. That is a huge problem considering he is our captain, halfback and main playmaker.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

And until des leaves we will remain that way unfortunately..ohh and he can take dce with him

this is Des' fault? How so?

 

[KaZa]

DCE uncertainty and unstructured plays cause panic and errors. We didn't make errors last week or the week before when he wasn't playing. Such a poor player for his experience. Most overrated in the comp. Can't even.

 

[Wombat64]

they were fabulous for 73 minutes.

It is an 80 minute game and to lose like that is appalling.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

2 grubber kicks...apart from that I've got nothing. Huamole must be spewing he's not back running outside Foz this week....he looks 1/4 the player with the "run sideways " myth feeding him the ball this week.

yes agreed... DCE needs to give him early ball instead... he gave him no ball!

There was some serious arse in that last 7 minutes. I really don't think Manly gave up. Unfortunately the cows didn't either and **** happened.

 

[davohan123]

Not des’s fault tonight.

just some very dumb decisions from some of our players tonight.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

oh I agree but we were far far from pathetic - we really were fabulous terrible decisions in that last 7 minutes but we really showed we can play when we have our heads switched on

 

[Sheikheagle]

I have never left a game so pissed off. Cherry clearly doesn’t know anything about closing out a game. That dropped ball from him was unacceptable. I have always defended him but he has lost me. Started playing for Qld one week early.

 

[cc eagle]

I think that was one of our dumbest losses I can ever remember.

I think one against the Panthers at brookie, we were up 18 or there abouts with something like 15 to go and got beat, another dumb loss
