Post-Game Discussion Manly V Eels [Round 8, 2024]

[Mark from Brisbane]

Funny reading this thread just before halftime we’re all just sticking it to our players.5 minutes before full time we’re are premiership material maybe we should wait before we all go off our rockers.

It’s why I usually don’t come in here during the game , it’s far less stress actually watching it without interruption.

 

[sharx]

Tommy Talau has been pretty good for us
Safe under the high ball and good kick returns

 

[Scorpio]

We're 3rd on the ladder, have beaten the premiers, and we haven't had a bye yet... We're doing well, but I'm still not sure about this team.

Next up we have Raiders, Dolphins, Broncos, Storm then a bye... if we win 2 of those games and have two close losses I'd say we are still doing okay. Three wins I'd be confident we can finish top 4. One win and I'd say we could miss the finals.

Nathan Brown man! I was not sure on his signing but that guy has the heart of a horse deadset huge. That run off the back fence changed the game, got the crowd and the team into it

 

[Nordburg]

Been watching the post game and for 20 minutes now they haven't mentioned manly. If you just tuned in you'd only think parra played and no one else

If you’re talking about Fox,yes you’re right,but the bigger story is the Eels.Manly were barely worth talking about given the penalty count in the second half(not suggesting they didn’t deserve that count)
But I think they’re going overboard with their criticism of the Eels.They put in tonight and were still in it til Sivo’s stupidity and they’re missing Moses and Cartwright.They don’t go as hard on other coaches that deserve more criticism.
Arthur probably needs to go but that has more to do with being there too long and hearing the same voice

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Glorious win. Some bullshiiii! Pens against us in the first half. DCE instrumental thought he really lead from the front! Brown great! It’s all about playing for the 80min and we did. Solid performance. Into the top 4 for now..

And seriously, when’s someone going to put the fear of god into Gutho, surely soon…

It looks like problems with his legs are starting to catch up with him.

 

[Dion Johnson]

But seriously, he must be on thin ice. He and the Souffs guy.

They look a 60 minute team the last few games, Sanders was ok for them, their middles have been way off.

I think Arthur won’t be the loan soldier, Gutho at the back could be over before the season is done.

 

[Dan]

Love how we wait to sing the team.song until their interview

 

[Damien2812]

Arthur looks surprised that we won the penalty count. Kama from round 3.

 

[Jay Eagle]

Lmfao... parra press conference

BA...asked about Sivo

"20-18 were in front 4 tries to 3"
Hahaha hahaha..
Then again he mentions 4 tries to 3???

Brad it's a total points scoreboard not a who scores more tries scoreboard...

 

[Waz13]

You wouldn’t think we won reading my take on the performance.

Hard to get enthusiastic about the game other than the two points.

Watching the game they were more focused on getting the referees attention instead of playing footy.

Spine was way off first grade standard, Brooks and Tom need to get Koala early ball, he is catching a cold at times.

Need more creativity off the bench in the middle, Gordie for me over Lawton or give Croker a week off.

Garrick back to left wing he is an opposition coaches dream playing in the centres.

Need more of that leg speed Bully has in the middle, he creates quick play the balls, may have to clone him and play up the middle, get dirty put the dinner suits away.

I actually agree. Thought we were rubbish tonight. Take the 2 and the +14 and move on. That Eels team is in all sorts. They are plain awful. Bye is a very good chance of beating them next week.

Will be an interesting game next week. Haumole prob out suspended.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Got to love the team song in the change room while BA and Queen Gumbo are trying to navigate the media in the press conference.

 

[cc eagle]

BA whinging about the pens and penis sin bin

Bro it's parra, he could only count to 4 because he had both hands on the table

Welcome to Silvertails

 

[Eagle 1]

Watching the Foxleague post match chat and its all about Parra. Did anybody else play tonight, you morons?

The Parra sympathy panel...how tedious

 

[Chunkytuna]

Seriously.. he has a dig.. great goal kicker and try finisher.. make some good tackles ... but then gets seriously shown up with defensive reads when teams are coming at him fast near the red zone. And then he can't catch and pass..so how is he MOM..

Good game yes.. MOM..sorry no

Agree. I actually love him. He plays his arse off. And he’s a great clubman. Wouldn’t swap him for the world.

 

[Under the Sticks]

Sivo , what a star 3 try’s

Sivo , what a dickhead , handed us the game in the end

Hey @Mark from Brisbane have I convinced you that our 2024 team is better than the last few years yet?

Is 3rd place on the ladder enough for you to be confident backing us to the hilt pre-match?

We are building and not losing for 4 matches in a row.

Lots of improvement still to come hopefully in defence!

 

[Dan]

Marty went to bed before half time, but I'm sure when I tell him in the morning we will see this again. He was the one that got us up

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Big ups to Seibold for turning the team around at halftime. We were in all sorts and looked disinterested in winning. And even though the second half wasn't perfect, it was much, much better, and the effort from the boys was there. Credit to the coach for that, I reckon.
