Game Day: Manly V Eels [Round 8, 2024]

[Chunkytuna]

this is a really poor performance so far. VERY disappointing for the massive crowd here and for the ANZAC spirit. Parra are playing well but Jesus, week to week there’s very little if any improvement in defence. It’s paper thin. Seabold needs to somehow get that fixed.

 

[Darknstormy]

Why do people keep saying we are a potential top 4 side…we are way off it’s not funny

 

[The Royal Soup]

same sh1t and same issues all season for Manly and nothing has changed or been done about it

 

[nightster]

All of that plus we are letting them offload at will like we did a few weeks ago

 

[Chunkytuna]

Firstly, whoever is in charge of playing the music at the ground should be taken out the back and quietly disposed of. It's bad enough we're playing like ass without some clown spinning sick beats like he's working a Blue Light Disco.

Second, we can't defend. Let, right, middle - it's all awful. Which has pretty much been the case all season. Our attack looks a little off as well, but not so off that it can't be fixed. The defence, on the other hand, needs a massive attitude adjustment.

Agree with this music. And it’s way too ****ijg loud too. Do they think we’re all deaf?? We will be after this.

We pissed our attitude away the day tooves got the punt.

 

[eagleron]

It's not in the script ....... we aren't really giving them all away. ref is helping them out.

Something about part time teams.

40 mins to go, but again this feels like Manly’s 2023 start…again.

Sadly I think you may be right

 

[Peter C]

Waddell is just a big cumbersome log out wide, ain’t got much deception, skill or guile

Same could be said about Jake, only Waddell get 600k a year less

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Just on Garrick. Are he and Saab swapping in and out of the centre position? I can't tell where either of them are supposed to be, and it looks like they can't either. Which I would describe as less than ideal.

 

[Eagle 1]

hard to get up for a home crowd after they got dudded by the ass clowns in the middle last time we played

Agree, we are getting pumped in penalties again, no surprises on this.

 

[Dan]

Who gave James hooper a microphone?

 

[court83]

We need to score first or it's game over... We've looked soft and disinterested for the last 15 minutes..
Hopefully someone gives them a rev up because it's disgusting at the moment... We should be putting 30 on these clowns not looking around shell shocked after every try we've handed them

 

[Chunkytuna]

We need to shut down the man with the ball too. Fuken offloads everywhere. Saab was dancing with bloody soul glo for 10 mins before they scored that first one.

 

[XV-1]

What was that people were saying about Turbo looking up for this in his pre-game interview??

Hopefully he actually does get up for this in the 2nd half because he was hardly sighted in the last 40 minutes.

Turbo has been sighted a lot. Jogging around at 60% pace. Not putting his body on the line unless he is running 4th tackle.
Lame performance - is he injured again?

 

[Cameron]

Our defence is a joke

 

[The Indian]

6 line breaks to Nil at Brookie in front of a sell.out crowd. We haven't given a whimper... I can't believe what I'm watching.

This games winnable... we should have plenty if energy left cause we didn't expend much in the first half..


Ffs turn it around..

 

[bob dylan]

I've never been so embarrassed

I get it but not even close.

Look up Brett Kimmorleys 200th.

 

[maxta]

Hate to say it, but Eels simply hungrier
The ruck speed is the key sign of this, they seem streets ahead with quick play balls to allow the halves time and space
Dumb piggyback penalties are terrible also
Hopefully improve these areas 2nd half and get the Win

 

[mickqld]

Another phone it in, just turn up because we're at home and collect 2 points attitude. I'm sick of seeing this same crap for the last 10 years.

 

[Kalvin]

Is it just me or are we a daytime footy side only?!

Have no idea to play to any other conditions
