Game Day: Manly v LG Titans [Round 23, 2018]

[Cioran]

The usual story. No lack of effort but no strategy. Throw the ball to someone and see what they can do seem to be the only play we have in the book.

What’s with the tackles? The Titans can hold down for 10 seconds and then throw the player down again when he gets up and the referee doesn’t give a damn.

 

[XV-1]

I wish Kelly would stop running backwards in defence!

Why was he sliding? The fb was running at him and only winger outside him. So he decides to ignore DCE telling him to hold his defensive line and tackle.
Under 10's defence.

If Titans get some ball and we continue to show no urgency or teamwork in defence, we will lose.

Lets see how supercoach Trent inspires them in the 2nd half

 

[HappilyManly]

Carn Manly, finish them off

The Hillites are Eagle rocking

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Poor old Frankie Winterstein, he's just not that good is he.
He must be just about the luckiest bloke in the NRL, how the f*** did he get a contract extension last year.

A Fulton favourite.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Do we actually practice set attacking plays? Playing like we have been coached. POORLY.

My favourite moment of the first half came from the commentator, who said, "Trent Barrett watching on, expressionless." That pretty much sums up Trent and his tenure here: expressionless. Although it does overlook the fact that he does have one expression: Blue Steel.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Elgey hasn’t exactly teased us with a skill set he intends on bringing next year.

 

[The Who]

Whoever our defensive coach is should be sacked.
To backpedal when trying to defend 15 metres from your tryline is Under 6 stuff.
Our backline is our weakness. Jorge hasn't scored a try in eight matches. I think Suli has only scored one in even more matches. And Parker? Has he scored this season?
We need two fast, attacking wingers.
Jorge now plays like a forward. Suli also.
Kelly can't tackle.
We need a massive shake-up in the backline.

Is he playing ?

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Poor old Frankie Winterstein, he's just not that good is he.
He must be just about the luckiest bloke in the NRL, how the f*** did he get a contract extension last year.

He was a starting backrower in a team that made the finals. And even after typing that, I still don't believe it!

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Same again and we win 44-20
Go manly

 

[mickqld]

We'll lose this. Can feel it coming already.

well well

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

There's Elgey.

 

[mave]

Is he playing ?

Yes, yes he is.

 

[cava2323]

We'll lose this. Can feel it coming already.

Why do I always agree with you Mick! Bombed 3. No good. Manly look sus at best when coasting.

Let’s hope we wrong.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Embarrassing, yet predictable

 

[Cliffymagic]

Pretty much every penelty we give will equal a try

 

[HoldenV8]

FMD.....LG just strolled through a gap between Lane and Fainu

 

[Cioran]

See. That’s how you look for a support player and put them in for a try. It ain’t rocket surgery.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Why do they call that move "dummy"?

 

[HK_Eagle]

Every farking time the Tits have the ball they score easily. It's pathetic

 

[Steve76]

lazy first set. DCE again cannot finish of the set with an attacking kick and here we go....
who on earth would have walker,winterstein,suli all on the one side??? hopefully the one leaving soon.
