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

[Terry Zarsoff]

I wonder how much the short turnaround ultimately led to Manly’s loss.

I hate this look:

Of course he is a fellow hayseed teammate, but would it kill him to try and look disappointed after a loss like that?

He is pathetic. This is after he threw it away off a scrum 20m out whilst up by 2. We dominated the Warriors and Tigers the last 2 weeks and he came back and destroyed all attacking structure we had. Our pack did their job get tonight and while we had some shockers from our backs (looking at your Saab) DCE still escapes all criticism. One day the club and fans will come to the realisation this dickhead will ruin this club.

Distract yourself with a Mojito or somet

You're such a sh*t stirrer.

 

[Rackets]

Now that Davey is going to the slime, Des should be starting him from the bench and Shuster in the starting line-up as he needs more match fitness and game time especially when he'll be playing in the halves next year.

 

[sharx]

DCE is having a poor season
Even in origin 1 I thought he was quite average
Perhaps they should take the captaincy from him and give it to jake

But also 2 short dropouts that the cowboys regather

Surely we can be more alert to negating that tactic

 

[Nordburg]

Look at how Hughes and Munster played tonight,neither shirked their responsibility despite both playing rep games next week,as compared to certain players at Manly.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Des really doesn’t like the English reporter in the post-match conference. He is quite rude to him, and it’s not the first time.

 

[Manly Turbo's]

No more footy for me until atleast Rnd 1 next year. This team will end up ageing me 10 years in 10 weeks. We played like top 4 for 65 mins. And wooden spooned for the final 10.

We will finish in 10th or 11th spot if we are lucky

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Why take the field goal, they had a shot at goal at 14-12 and didnt want the two.

Our dumbest loss ever.

PS I dont understand the instant closing of the game day thread, this has bugged me for weeks. Maybe you could explain the reasoning to it @Jethro

It should be drilled into them to take the two, if it’s an easy shot, especially if the game is evenly balanced.

 

[wombatgc]

Thought our inability to contest short kickoffs/dropouts really cost us

Saab is the second tallest in the NRL. He is so shiit in the air, the Cowboys were actually kicking it to his side on purpose. Fkn unbelievable.

 

[ALinda]

The emotions went from one extreme to the other in the space of 10 mins. Shell-shocked how we lost that and it was weird there at full-time.
God help us against the Storm.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, make Jake captain so that DCE can be admonished for his dumb plays.

 

[Manly Turbo's]

Yeah we are supporting one of the duds this year unfortunately

The positive is that it’s the Thursday night game after Origin in Perth,so a chance players could be rested.Fingers crossed Manly decide to rest their QLD contingent

 

[The Indian]

Hughes and Munster are running threats and usually straighten up and relish the contact... chalk and cheese to our bloke

 

[The Royal Soup]

Told you all we would lose and was ridiculed as usual

well suck it up!. I was correct once again and we are a dumb soft team, to let that happen in the last 10min is a disgrace and not Manly!!

Storm will pumped us too!

how about this flogs, if we beat the storm i’ll eat my hat and not comment on a thing for a week till the following game day

peace

 

[Manly Turbo's]

Yeah, for now my health is more important than watching this amateur, schizophrenic team

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Just back from the game. That sucked, but we got what we deserved. Clocked off when we thought we had it won and let the Cowboys take the game away from us. The errors and our awful completion rate (the two go hand in hand) were the difference between the teams. And Cherry losing the ball on the first after we got a gift from the Gods with a knock-on from the kick-off. Only seemed fitting that Holmes would streak away and score.

Seriously, apart from the fact he's supposed to be our captain, DCE is also supposed to be a veteran player. He should know better than that but he never seems to learn.

 

[Manly Turbo's]

I have lost my passion for the game just like the boys I support

 

[weev]

The cowboys were great at the short kick off. Snuffed out our momentum on attack and caught us knapping.

Suppose what I really want to say is that is the worst capitulation I’ve ever seen.
