Post-Game Discussion Manly v Raiders [Round 17, 2021]

[BOZO]

You can only consolidate within the Top 4. We can win it from 5/6.

We wont win it if we keep bombing simple tries and play like we did tonight

 

[simon64]

What an absolute clusterf*ck that was.

Walker isn't a halfback's anus. Tonight showed how valuable DCE is to this team.
Jetski to Blacktown and don't renew his contract.
Tom's value to this team is immeasurable.

Can't believe we lost to such a low side.

 

[Mataiforever]

Come on folks, we're missing about 7 starters. I know it's been a rubbish performance but honestly the raiders played their repeat sets perfect. I mean what did they have, fifty tackles in our twenty? They won't do that again this season. The only thing this loss does is put to bed any top 4 hopes. We'll be fine.

I agree

I’ll excuse Dylan, i still like him at 13.

Suli should be gone

Gosiewski should never wear the jersey again

De Luis tries but he’s a park footy player

 

[Bomb Voyage]

0 skills whatsoever

Probably the least all-rounded footy player in the comp (he’s still a great winger but a **** footy player). Fortunately he sits outside the most allrounded footy player in the comp (Turbo)

Far out steady on mate, massive over reaction… totally disagree

 

[davohan123]

Calm down We had a crap load out, played poor and raiders ground us down through what might have been the most line drop outs I’ve ever seen. Jetski and Suli shouldn’t be near the starting team again with a bit of luck. F$&@ I hate origin just derails teams seasons.

Yes I agree we had a lot out but so did the raiders. We still had enough talent to win tonight and we played so poorly.

 

[simon_eagle]

Walker is a centre , Walker scored a try . Parker bombed a try and did nothing else

Please

Harsh perspective ...
Apart from a bombed try what else has Parker contributed to the team feathered friend

its constant. Every week.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Nah mate, he's one of the league's best centres , better than both Harper and Parker

If he was around Parker's pay scale and we didn't care about consistency in defence in that position, I would keep him. Otherwise, he plays 14 or nothing IMO

 

[HoldenV8]

In retrospect the game was lost when the best contender for No7 was not picked to start.
Hopefully those involved in that bad decision will learn from it.

Cust isn't as good as some like to think.

 

[Jerry1]

Oh well - that was crap. Nighters people. Always next week hey.....

 

[Mataiforever]

Far out steady on mate, massive over reaction… totally disagree

Mate he’s a great winger and I still really like him.

He literally has no ball skills tho. Did you see him pass that footy from the play the ball to Cust? Under 10s pass.

 

[Class of 96]

That was Canberra’s best game in 2 months. We were a stretch to make top 4, so I’m not overly concerned. It’s clear we need DCE and Turbo, and I’m confident we will cause serious damage from 5th or 6th.

 

[BOZO]

This game, or all games mate? He is very much like a Craig Innes. Not a lot of pace, but great defence. He is really good with the right team around him. The sort of centre you need to win a premiership IMO.

Parker is like Craig Inness Quality ? Keep dreaming

 

[Mataiforever]

Cust isn't as good as some like to think.

I felt Cust tried and wasn’t our worst. He was brought on when it was 22-4

 

[BOZO]

Please

its constant. Every week.

What is constant every week feathered friend ?

 

[HoldenV8]

We made the rabble raiders who could not win a game in their last 6 games look like a finals team . That is how disappointing we were .

No we didn't mate. That game was a crap-fest from start to finish from both sides. They just did it better on the night than we did.

 

[Supreme Leader]

Sorry guys & girls...watched the game away from forum. Can I say this is on Des! Walker at 7 BS.... in first half past once. Scored a try himself because he is is a hero.... how many did he stop by not passing the ball.

Then you have Jetski. FMD his defense was awful.

Both should have been removed at half time but NO!

Either he is trying to give them time to be on sold? But tonight was ****! 2 players cost us tonight and I''m calling it!

 

[Waz13]

I think there was heart, look at the tackle count. Our execution let us down. We gave away too much ball and had to do too much tackling. No energy left.

Garrick obviously is no Tom, Tom is huge in our side and so is DCE. Yes, they were missing players but not to the same impact it affects us.

It is what it is. We will be right up there still when everyone gets back on the park

It’s not just Tom.
Dce
Jake
Schu
Aloai
Tgey are massive outs. No disrespect to the bloke but who on here even knew who Kurt de Luis was until 3 weeks ago? I mean in comparison Tge raiders bench was
Solila
Ryan James
Tapine
And starling!

3 f$&@en rep players albeit past.

Kicking ourselves we lost but this game does not define this team. We were full of makeshift players tonight and unfortunately if red bloody plants that ball down we prob put 50 on again. From there the raiders worked hard and ground is down.

 

[SeaEagle21]

Canberra played to the dewy/slippery/night conditions. We played the wrong style and dropped balls were happening most sets.

Big lesson tonight and a costly one too to keep up with the 4.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Well said
we were never a realistic chance of making the top 4
Rather loose a game now as a bit of a reality check for Des and his selections than in the finals.

You seriously believe Des will look at his selections???

 

[Nordburg]

Just be thankful that we weren't playing Melbourne tonight. We only lost 14 on the for and against. A better team than Canberra could have put a lot more hurt on tonight the way we played.

We should be thankful it was only that margin given the amount of drop outs they had to make
