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

[QLDSeaeagle]

On the bright side, Twents Dogs could have a brilliant day, and save our skins. HaHaHaHa.

 

[BOZO]

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

Parkers pay scale Perspective
.You get what pay for in a Dominating back in the Dollars you pay

 

[eagleron]

yes and wrong bench ,no point having Jojevski or wjat ever his name is he is not very good.
Burbo has not let anyone down defendively yet is dropped for a hack with history like him

Des has to look after his boys, Sirro must be getting close to reclaiming his spot you would think, before you know it we'll have reassembled the team that took us to one win in seventeen games, they don't call him the mad professor for nothing

 

[simon_eagle]

Hate seeing careers die but Suli and jetski.....

des will pick them again. Guaranteed

 

[Chunkytuna]

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.

We made them look very good. Woeful performance - regardless of our missing players.

 

[Nordburg]

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.

I think we said the same when he picked Funa at 6 against the Knights

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

Hopefully you are right!!

Go manly.

Couldn't have been more wrong.........

 

[47MVEagle]

What is constant every week feathered friend ?

Your moaning about Brad Parker while you cheerlead for Walker.

 

[Rafferty]

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

Well our coach won’t play him as a centre and his certainly not a half or a FB

 

[BOZO]

Dominant players win Grand finals

 

[jbay]

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.

Yes tonight showed just how important DCE is to our team.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Well this is the reality check we didn't need. What's most disappointing is our lack of fight. It's clear that the team doesn't believe it can win big matches without DCE and Tom. We missed DCE more then we missed Tom tonight. We cannot have Gosiewski off the bench. Suli should never play in the backs again. Walker should only play off the bench. We shouldnt change our wing/centre combinations again this season. Our middle defence without Jake against big packs is atrocious. We won't be winning the premiership this year. Time to regroup boys. We absolutely can't go in to the Dragons game expecting to win it, like we expected to win tonight. Embarassing effort. No heart. No fight.

If DCE plays in that game tonight all we would hear is excuses about how poor everyone else was and he tried hard. Tom is the only reason we are competitive this year. Stats don’t lie. We were equally as **** as this the first 4 weeks with DCE and no Tom. Funnily enough I think JetSki, Suli and walker played those first 4 games too. And Saab wound back his form clock as well. Garrick is no fullback.

Unlikely

 

[BOZO]

Your moaning about Brad Parker while you cheerlead for Walker.

Walker scored a brilliant individual try tonight as he sliced through 4 defenders

Parker bombed a simple try with the wide line open

You can cheer who you like feathered friend

 

[Waz13]

Parker is like Craig Inness Quality ? Keep dreaming

I completely disagree with Bozo on his Parker v Walker views, however Parker is not Craig Innes quality. Innes was a quality All Black.

 

[DGD]

Good game, most in the team had defense, after countless repeat sets, . Few key positions, Des must change, the loss is an eye opener,

Yep, Walker's dominating on those dollars.... NOT

 

[wombatgc]

can’t believe some people think they need Sironen back in this side

When I heard Blockhead mention him coming back like our saviour I nearly thru-up.

Walker also threw umpteen hospital passes, crabbed across field & turned over the ball with woeful kicks on early tackles.

What's your point?

 

[BOZO]

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.

Disagree feathered friend
A team can only play as good as you let them
We could not even score simple tries with the line wide open
