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

[Chunkytuna]

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

Yeah but unfortunately seabold is not one of those sort of coach that gets stuck in. He’s done an ok job but Christ I wish he’d fire the fuk up now and then.

 

[NYEagle]

It hopefully comes back to bite me in the second half,but as I’ve said all season,there has been absolutely no improvement to this team from last year,still have the same problems.The worst part about this season is that there’s been minimal injuries to use as an excuse

Yeah we are full strength and look slow as ****e.

Definitely worrying when it comes to 2024. On top of that the team has not once won the ruck tonight. Have not earned a thing. The millions of penalties does not help either. Stop start stop start makes a **** game.

Good to see Siebs talking directly to Saab. He need to stop smoking and wake up out there.

Let’s hope for a good 2nd half.

We will be lucky to make the top 4 with defence like this.

Top 4???

I had us a 9th-12th team.

Havent seen anything to change that in the last 3 weeks.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Yeah but unfortunately seabold is not one of those sort of coach that gets stuck in. He’s done an ok job but Christ I wish he’d fire the fuk up now and then.

I’d much prefer if our players fired the fuk up.

 

[Kalvin]

Also did Sivo steal Saab's lunch money?!

 

[Tomay]

Fast line speed by Parra. We have nothing when a team comes at us fast in defence. There's no plan B again. We tried going expansive. Parra absorbed it. Now they rushing is after getting the momentum and we have nothing.

Luckily Gutho can't kick...it's the only thing giving us half a chance.

Need to turn the ball inside and work them up the middle.

 

[bob dylan]

**** I don’t know how we get out of this.

Hope they play the 2nd half like they did last week.

 

[Darknstormy]

We have been the same clown team for 10 years now..inconsistent ill disciplined and scrappy…I can’t see us winning any competition for at least another 5-10yrs at best

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

It’s difficult to fire up, and be taken seriously, when you sound like a Mel Blanc-voiced character in a Warner Bros. cartoon.

 

[Chunkytuna]

I’d much prefer if our players fired the fuk up.

Me too. They seem incapable of that tonight though. Better put a better effort in in this second half.

 

[HK_Eagle]

As I mentioned pre game , I expected the Squeals to throw everything bar the kitchen sink at us.

I actually think they’ve thrown the sink as well.

Let’s give credit to them they are desperate tonight , and we look a bit shell shocked.

Anyway there’s 40 to go so who knows but not looking too promising at this point.

We’ve failed miserably to control the tempo and how the game is played. As we tend to, we’ve been sucked into their own frantic energy instead of playing our own game. This team has a lot of psychological maturing to do.

 

[XV-1]

Why have we tried to play touch footy and not use our big forwards to bash the middle - then go wide.

 

[Waz13]

I honestly can’t conceive how people can’t see how detrimental crokers service is to our whole game, he is so slow with loopy **** passes

Turbo is beyond disappointing at the moment

Garrick needs to **** off back to the wing, post haste.

Someone needs to inspire the team.

Yep for all crokers D, we really need better service. Why not throw Lawton on at the 30min mark and let him roll through a bit.

True Dat.

 

[Technical Coach]

Way to embrace the Anzac spirit and show Terry Hill some respect: farking useless bunch of cats

What has embracing Anzac spirit and showing Terry Hill respect got to do with it. Effort means nothing if it's not applied effectively.

Instead of saying "useless bunch of cats" maybe direct it towards our "useless" poor way of playing the game.

 

[HK_Eagle]

FFS, can’t even stop an offload off the kick off. Embarrassing

 

[HoldenV8]

And on the first play of the 2nd half ... an offload from Parramatta.

smh.....

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

First set were already gassed lol

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Only good news is it should be much much much more deficit. What a lazy effort in front of a sold out crowd.

We can't play a half as bad as that again surely??

And ffs parra appeal for penaltirs for absolutely everything and we don't even appeal for blatant head high tackles like Luke Brooks.copped. so mentally lax we are.

Hey indian this side is our crystal palace

 

[HoldenV8]

No line speed this set. None.
