Game Day: Manly v Penrith [Round 12, 2020]

[2830 Eagle]

Out camping at the moment
Glad I can't see this

 

[Rackets]

I said last week our back 3 offer nothing and was criticized for my opinion. This week im saying it again that our back 3 offer nothing. Until turbo comes back Des should swallow his pride and be like Madge and give others a go.

 

[HoldenV8]

Did Warren Smith really just say that Elliot has done more right than wrong tonight?

And Blocker agreed??

 

[bob dylan]

Anyone else think our forwards are the issue.

Its easy to blame Elliott, Parker and Taufua.

But i think our forwards are not mobile enough for the 2020 game. Thompson, Marty, Siro and AFB. Just comparing them to Martin, Yeo, Fisher- Harris and co.

Wont solve tonights problems but its food for thought.

Then there is our hooker.

 

[Chuck]

Desperately need to go shopping for some outside backs. Without being unkind four of ours would probably not get a starting gig in any of the other 15 teams.

Not unkind. Just facts.

Vossy is officially the biggest wanker on Fox, after Anasta and Ben Ikin.
Ben Ikin.

Obstruction?

 

[Waz13]

You aren’t watching if you don’t think we could’ve helped ourselves more than we have. We have committed so many fundamental errors we would be losing against teams not playing this well

we have been diabolical, they have done as much right as we’ve done wrong

Yeah right. They have only completed what 39/42 sets and had a 6-1 set restart count tonite to this point. We also lost two players in the first 20odd mins. They are good and have given us nothing tonite mate.

 

[XV-1]

Penrith are just fkuuking with us. Playing touch footy.

No team has ever given up 50 points and won the comp.

 

[Chuck]

Croker out of position created the overlap and then George wanders in, poor George didnt know were to look

Croker is so average it's not even slightly amusing.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Api’s try was soft no defensive line jamming up staying flat footed.

 

[Waz13]

Well there goes our f/a for the year if it wasn’t gone already.

 

[eaglebuzz]

Panthers are the real deal this year.

We are not.

 

[ManWar]

Tonight is a fair reflection of where we’re at in this comp - fringe top 8. We have issues in terms of backline roster and Des’s team selections. Sure Turbo would make a difference but to win a premiership we need to rely on more than one player.

I've been saying for weeks our back 5 offer nothing at all.. its pretty clear our entire backline is average
Parker is average
Tafua is a liability these days
Garrick is average
Elliott is average
Suli is good in the mid field but offers nothing once in attacking range...

Its all well and good to be hero's when turbo is literally handing you trys on a platter, but the minute they need to get in and earn their trys, not a single one of them is anywhere to be seen.. and I've been saying that thru bad losses and good wins..

Ben Ikin.

You're forgetting Ginnane

 

[Dan]

The death of our season is about to be struck

 

[skull61]

Comeback.

It’s true we were only down by 18 at the time

 

[HoldenV8]

Panthers are the real deal this year.

We are not.

We kinda were right up until losing Walks and Turbo in one hit.
