Post-Game Discussion Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

[Dion Johnson]

Think it's rd 9 comeback for Tom, f...we need him.

They mentioned round 8 during the week and they desperately need him, the problem will be if he comes back being to conservative.

That was one match where I never ever thought we were going to get up - I normally only feel that way when we play them down at the gong

 

[Brookie1973]

Mate footballers arnt all that scary.

Must be an atheist

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Zero football smarts across the team. Bellamy drillls that type of crap out of his players.

The only player we have with any composure is Lehi Hopoate, the youngest member of the team.

 

[BirdMan4ever]

I would love to see....
Koala out, fauolo or Aaron schoppe in
Ben t out, bully to start
Jake out, navale In,
Brookes out, J author in
Sipley out, chee kam in.

 

[BirdMan4ever]

Koula....are you kidding. Just look at his efforts defensively tonight. Missed the tackle that led to a try and didn't mark up and chase for another. Him, Benny and Haumole were all way below their best

I can't take watching koala and Ben t play. I'm starting to feel the same for Brookes.

Depressing isn’t it. When is enough going to be enough for this club. Wondering through year after year cluelessly ambling along in mediocrity.

 

[The '47ers]

Phew that was close, tipped the Dragons 😉

 

[lsz]

I missed what happened to Bully?

We are just so soft in the pack

When we were last dominate (2007 - 2014 ish) I used to love the times when we would decide to really aim up and the pack would bash the life out of the other guys.

I know we are missing a few but we have been soft up there for so long

I think he went back to being a stockbroker

 

[The Indian]

Effort was decent but in attack everyone bar Lehi could only shoot themselves in the foot. Ball control and structure in attack was disgraceful....effort in defence was brave ( but let's be honest we played a trash team tonight and lost. )

Season looks like unravelling. More losses to come.

It's gonna be the like the Wild West when Cherry announces he's going to the Roosters in the bye week. Be interesting.to see the crowd in coming weeks

.. This could turn so quickly
...


Bring it on.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Can someone for the fuken life of me explain why our fat cunnt of a coach can’t work out that bullimore is our best middle forward right now and that perhaps he should get more than 5 seconds on the god damn fuken field?!!!!!

Unfortunately, Bully picked up a knee injury. I like to think he would have been given more time on the field otherwise, but who really knows?

 

[Wombat Junior]

Thank god it's the long weekend so most of you can get on the piss tonight to forget this game, judging by a few of the comments on the back end of the game day thread quite a few of you have already started and if we keep playing like this, well I might fk this sobriety thing off and join you all.

Knee knock, with a Dragons players (can't remember who).

With our crack rehab team and great club coms I am sure we will all be kept up to date with what is going on as he comes back well before expectations

There’s no mongrel that’s why. I’ve said it for years. They’re all Christians. Lovely fellas but not a bad bone in their body. That doesn’t work playing a brutal sport. You need mongrel. You need pricks.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Unfortunately dce’s saga may have derailed our season

Well he hasn’t for the past 3-4 games so I don’t see why he would’ve tonight. And great, now we’ve lost our only effective middle. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

 

[Eagle 1]

Super proud of the boys, we came against a tough team tonight and the effort from the boys was top notch.

Getting a lot of smiling emojis on your comment. But I agree, Saints at full strength and us missing Tom, Tent and the Preacher and Jake to a head knock. We nearly pulled it off.
