Game Day: Manly v Eels [Round 3, 2023]

[Tragic Eagle]

Crokers service has been very poor and errors have crept into our game.

 

[wombatgc]

We need Parra to put Cartwright back on. As soon as he was replaced Doorey strolls thru Sydney heads.

Queen Gutho.

I saw that same hairdo on a Schnauzer at the Crufts dog show.

What’s even worse is that his hairstyle is making us look even more pathetic.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

I was enjoying that, too. Right up until the point we just stopped tackling entirely…

Lol, Tuilagi had just put on an absolute beauty just before that first try too

I'm thinking now that that bye was not good for match fitness. If it's close in the 2nd half, we're going to be in trouble late.

I have been saying this all week, if it's close with 20 to go Parramatta are specials in my mind.

Given us 2/ 3 more weeks we would be morals we are just not match fit yet.

Happy to be proved wrong but let's see what happens.

No complaints about the ref so far. We just completely fell away at the end of the half. Not sure if we were just knackered, but nobody looked remotely interested in either getting back into position in the defensive line or making a tackle in those last 10 minutes or so. Was happy when the half came to an end because we needed it badly.

Its very very humid. If you constantly give away possession your going to tire.

Who ever controls the ball second half will win

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

Schuster's tackle attempt embarrassing

Paseka 4 runs 46 metres 9 tackles 2 missed

Only 4 runs Paseka? Thought he was great out there. Very strong post contact metres

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

The key to the game here, is when Paulo and RCG are back on the park together. We need to be on top of them by that point

And as I mentioned earlier, keep setting them up with that wide ball to Parker for 10-15mins, then have someone hitting the ball cutting back in hard, and there are points on offer

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Couple of soft tries against manly after penalties
just need to tidy that up
Those errors hurt manly before that manly was dominant just cut the errors and should go on and win just need to start the 2nd Half Like the first half

 

[HK_Eagle]

C’mon Schu… I dare you to prove me wrong… get the basics right, including defence. No show passes are pretty, but if you are going to arm grab and be soft in defence then farrrrkkk u.

 

[bob dylan]

Next try is vital

He must have read the first pages of this thread.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Anyone else see Seibold's interview before the game? He said possession and how we closed our sets (both with the ball and in defence) were going to be vitally important. And he was right. Wish the players had listened.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

I think if the coach isn’t going to use Weekes he should replace him with Lawton if the coach thinks CKT isn’t ready yet

 

[KaZa]

I know it's crazy saying but DCE has done most of the kicking

While nice touches from josh I think Cooper is a better 6 for DCE.

Think Johns is a better 7 for Josh personally

 

[HK_Eagle]

And the commentators go on blowing smoke up Schu’s a$$ instead of calling out his short-comings. I hope Flanagan is all over this.

 

[Eagles4Life]

Yes

 

[HoldenV8]

Obstruction?
