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

[swoop]

Yet again we play another team into form.

 

[bob dylan]

How funny is Jason Saab.

 

[Disco]

Ahhh well that is disappointing.

Was always worried about this game without Turbo, DCE, Jake and Schuster and with Canberra hurting.

Disappointed in Foz for not stepping up and obvs Suli and Gosie shouldn't be there.

Top 4 is done but really thats all that comes out of this game.

We are still up to our eyeballs in this comp once you reinject our talent.

On to next week.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Not often that you can say in a game involving Canberra that Jordan Rapana wasn’t the dumbest footballer on the field. We have set some new levels of stupidity tonight. Some very very ordinary performances.

 

[47MVEagle]

Old enough to play the ball and not the man

Brad Parker's a ball is he?

Grow up.

 

[Dan]

Why are we trying to get outside of them with no room to move. The point of having Saab get away early is space there is a reason DCE and turbo try and get him away early with passes from centre field

 

[bob dylan]

Cust, Jetski and Suli should not play firsts again this year unless we're absolutely desperate.

Should all be moved onto the Dragons immediately.

Happy to add our 7 to that also.

 

[HoldenV8]

To be honest we didn't have a right side tonight. Missing DCE.

Much to the chagrin of those who keep bagging him.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Imagine how Burbo feels right now…..

 

[AshfieldBazza]

We have just killed ourselves in this game. So many self inflicted mistakes and not a lot of pressure when we make those decisions.
Walker, Suli and Jet ski need to go somewhere other than Manly....

 

[DaveLP]

Garrick is no fullback. Saab is invisible without turbo. Walker and foran run more then they pass and when they do half of them have been rubbish plays. I don't want to go on so ill just leave it as that lol

 

[Kevinward777]

We'll be right. Another game where we got absolutely no calls go our way. We're on the rise - all good.

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

Was Ben Turbo on the bench? If so wouldn't he be a better option than Suli the Slug?

 

[NewwyEagle]

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.

 

[47MVEagle]

Walker is in no way, shape or form a half.

 

[HK_Eagle]

I have to agree with some posters on here questioning Des’ selections. Remember, he was forced to blood alternate choices when injury hit us hard early in the season. And now as certain under-performing players come back from injury, he ignores the momentum and chemistry and brings certain favs back in. Well, there’s the result. We regressed back to the team from the first four rounds.

 

[XV-1]

Imagine how Burbo feels right now…..

Fuk u Des, see what happens when u put idiots like Suli and Jetski ahead of me.
I am better than them blind folded.

That is what he should say.

 

[Cioran]

Playboy?

A stand by my comments sometime spell check knows what i mean better tsn I do.

 

[Eagles4Life]

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.

Thought Foran was just about Manlys best, created all the chances we had. One of those nights. A lot of players out, no possession, too many errors. Re group and get a win next week
