Post-Game Discussion Manly v Cowboys [Round 20, 2023]

[Thewestisbest]

Really only one difference between the two teams. They were very well coached. We weren't coached at all.

How long is this imposter's contract?

In his press conference he said he wants more impact off the bench. He then said he wants to look at Keppie, Fainu, Lodge and Condon play for Blacktown tomorrow.

He wants impact but picks Woods.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

My concern with the recruitment for next year is that it does not seem to address our clear issue in the forwards.

Against top 8 teams we are typically getting dominated in the pack. I can not see how adding a halve is going to address it next year.

The talk of the 6 or 7 dominating on the back of that - well tell me how that works?

Shame we didn’t have someone coming off the bench like the Broncos do, some bloke named Taupau, he seems to go ok

 

[We eat the Oysters.....]

On a positive note, this game Tuipulotu never rolled out the red carpet for his opposite to score.
Solid performance.

 

[Eagle 1]

Yes, we looked and were gassed but why were we gassed?

Some of you seem to think that we are just unfit but how could you not be gassed and continually make errors when we were exhausted from all of the extra work that we had to do because of all the six against that were awarded to the Cowboys with so many of them being close to our try line.

What was the 6 again count anyway, thought our guys held up well under the possession onslaught provided by this ref.

He is being better coached up there not running sideways and holds the ball

It was a strange game. Cowboys were not much better than us. I was baffled when we were pressing their line with 10 or so minutes to go and we went and lost 30m. I was also glad they did not run away with the game. We did put up a fight. What are we doing at training though? Mathewson went ok. Def need to be better in attack. Don’t know how many times we gave them the ball back. That’s what got to me the most. Cowboys were not much better though.

I'd suggest Sipley, Woods and Bullemore wont be in the 17 next week.

I'd be happy if Aloiai was gone too.

I'll leave Seibold alone for now, it's seeing Flanno in the box is what erks me. The only thing on his mind is the team he's coaching next season.

Aloiai had a good dig for mine, the other 3 are definitely changeable. Lodge should come onto the bench next week I'd say.

On Matterson, who did he replace in the 2nd half ?

Aloiai has been sooo disappointing. Just going through the motions and does not lift or inspire the team.

He needs to spend a few weeks at Blacktown so he can work out if he really wants to be an nrl player.

Was he a Des signing?

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

He was still making 106m per game last year for us, sure he wasn’t worth the big contract numbers, but was worth keeping at a lower rate

 

[Rackets]

The problem with this team is they're way to slow to rush up, hardly ever put pressure on the kickers and don't run as hard when running the ball back.

 

[grassy]

On Matterson, who did he replace in the 2nd half ?

I got no idea Eagle. I thought he came on early in the game when he scored

 

[Seagles68]

Yep. Hopefully he now realises if you stay on your wing and trust Parker, he won't look like a goose. We fix that problem and then have the middle destroyed.

On Matterson, who did he replace in the 2nd half ?

Bully

 

[Eagle 1]

I got no idea Eagle. I thought he came on early in the game when he scored

Nah, he came off then came back in the 2nd half.

 

[grassy]

Nah, he came off then came back in the 2nd half.

Yea I was not paying attention. I was too busy screaming at us for playing dumb footy.

 

[Seagles68]

I'd suggest Sipley, Woods and Bullemore wont be in the 17 next week.

I'd be happy if Aloiai was gone too.

I'm with you for 3 out of the 4 Bob but I thought Bulle at least showed some go forward with limited opportunity. The big forward strategy is just not working though. Woods just doesn't give us anything. Aloiai is good for 2 runs and then he's stuffed. He is living off the back of one big tackle from round one. But I don't know how we move him on given his contract. The biggest disappointment was Sipley. He is better than the crap he dished up tonight.

Keppie is not the one to be moved on. And Samuela is exactly the kind of big mobile forward we need to keep. If we move Keps and Fainu on it just seems crazy.
