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

[Ron E. Gibbs]

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

Yep. Just set your expectation to "Some time before 2026" and you won't be disappointed.

 

[grassy]

Three loses in a row. Also missing players next week. I have seen enough until next year. Same as last year. See you guys next year.

 

[HK_Eagle]

I’ve just finished watching a replay of the game without knowing the result.

Farrkkkk you Cherry Picking Evan’s. Never good enough to lift a side, but just milks the contemporary game to maximise his family dollar.

Ola tried too hard and came up worst on most occasions. His worst game but no questions around his heart.

Garrick is a fking dud at centre. But we all know that won’t change. Pathetic, when he is an outstanding winger… shake my head in disgust.

Can we sell off the Urbo brothers and rebuild? Please? The Urbo brothers and their investment is killing us. Burbo tried his guts out but he is so far off the first grade pace it’s embarrassing…

TT2 is nowhere near last year’s form.

The only up was Lehi. Amazing. He will be a champion.

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

Tom isn't going to save this lot. We have no props so no go forward and other forwards who are past it or very average. A captain who has checked out, lightweight backs who make no meters. I can easily see bottom 4 in this bunch.

Knee on knee contact with Jacob Liddle. Initially, Liddle stayed down and Bullemor got up. Then, Liddle ran his out, to the point where he was able to set up a try later in the game…typical Manly luck that after a couple of attempts at running the ball, Bullemor succumbed to the injury.

Bone on bone contact can be a toss of the coin…bone bruising only or ligament damage that destabilises the joint.

 

[Nordburg]

Can’t understand the Olakau’atu discourse tonight.It was not one of his best games,but he wasn’t alone and he never stopped trying.

 

[byso]

Utter garbage. Feel bad for the sellout crowd that had to sit through that.

 

[Wombat Junior]

I think if they randomly selected 17 fans from the stands and put them out on the field we would of seen a better performance, they looked like they hardly knew each other most of the game, especially in the first half.

Hate to admit it, but we really missed the Preachers go forward tonight.

Well I said this has big Manly win at home written all over it and if we lose it’s a worry. It is indeed a worry. Attack has just disappeared, we look so ordinary in attack. Can’t catch, can’t pass, 2 wrongs make an awful there. The fact we can’t even get up against a pretty average Dragons team in front of our ‘fortress’, it’s not good at all.

Isn’t it great when our forwards have struggled for WEEKS, so Seibold decides to replace a forward on our bench for a back who is not first grade ready in my opinion, and gives him a whopping 9 minutes. Yep, 9 minutes.

DCE has completely checked out, I guess that’s not a surprise really. Credit to Lehi, at least he is giving it a good crack. This whole team just looks like they’ve never played together though, it’s bizarre when you look at round 1. But perhaps Round 1 had a big piece that we haven’t seen since - a fit Turbo.

We all have to hope and pray we get a non-strapped, free running and involved Turbo next week, boy do we need it. If not, sit back and get comfy because you’ll need to be for another wasted year full of potential and a continued inability to make the 8 2 years in a row.

Rd1 also had the advantage of plenty of refereeing assistance

Does it matter if there're pissed.

That for sure helps, but at least we looked energetic and weren’t throwing the ball at the ground every set

 

[Brookie1973]

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

I’d save him for next year.

 

[Wombat Junior]

Pissed, blind, new borns, deaf, disabled etc.. anything would be better.

 

[seaeagle10]

I thought last weeks game against the gummies was disgraceful but this weeks game against the lizards was deplorable.1st half no direction no leadership players going through the motions, 2nd half not much better. Said before the definition of stupidity is using a losing game play each week and expect a different result.

Lehi had an awsome game, but we are so reliant on Tommy in attack and what he gives us from fullback. Forget 5/8 or centre he's an out and out fullback, rd 9 can't come fast enough.

 

[deanm]

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

I changed my tip before game when I saw bench

 

[HK_Eagle]

How many times were we in control defensively in a set and then suddenly let a runner behind the ruck to crush whatever advantage we made in the set (not counting the discipline penalties or 6As)… EVERY SINGLE FKING SET. Horrendous.

 

[BOZO]

Both Teams had players out tonight
We were missing Tom , Croker Paseka and Waddel
Saints were missing Ryan Couchman ,Christian Tipoulotu ,Emre Gular and Tom Eisenhuth

Each Head coach makes the most of the players they have available
They take advantage of their current circumstances and recourses and use them in the best possible way maximising their potential for the best possible outcome

Happy Easter feathered friends
We wait for a Manly Resurrection
