Game Day: Manly v Roosters [Round 19, 2018]

[mave]

What I’m seeing is a young team getting blown off the park by a team of superstars.

I’m no Barrett lover BUT I just can’t be convinced that every issue is 110% related to the coach!!

Parker/Suli/Wright/Wright wouldn’t make FG anywhere else, but that’s what the coach has to work with.

Fair enough.
I think we are watching different games though.

Defence is all about attitude and wanting the contact. Skill level doesn't stop a bloke putting his body on the line, again and again.

We dont have that today.
Line breaks, missed tackles, just wow.

 

[Disco]

Swap Suli and Parker

 

[Michael Clare]

Its 2018 and theres still no answer for Tupou.

We are the only team Tupou ever plays well against!

 

[deanm]

13 missed tackles by the backs, Daly & Trent haven’t missed any.

Barrett wouldn’t make first grade anywhere else either.

 

[Scorpio]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Just a representation of where this club is at. Management , administration, organisation, coaching setup. The whole thing is in the toilet. Penn's need to sell up and get out. This isn't working. If the Qatar royals want it still then sell it NOW.

 

[niccipops]

That was the worst effort I think I've ever seen by a Manly team. Pathetic. Ridiculous. No desire. Giving up on themselves before the rorters score. Most of them should hang their heads. If not for Tom Turbo the rorters would be at 60 by now.
It's very sad.
They can still contest the ball even if the opposition is over the line.
Wright and Suli were pathetic.

 

[SeaEagle21]

Tigers aren’t filled with superstars and look at them. It is laid plain and simple at the feet of the coaches. 34 points in 1 half at home is unacceptable don’t care the reasons or roster

Problem is that Manly don't do the basics right - that is a coaching issue.

Flat in attack, defense always running backwards instead of holding their line, arm grab tackling, ball security, slow to set the defense after a tackle, not passing to the backs until they are guranteed to be pushed over the sideline....

Sad

 

[MadMarcus]

Agree. Bring back Travis Burns.

 

[Pablo]

Suli is just awful in defence. Can't blame it on inexperience as his laziness and lack of enthusiasm is disgraceful. Total ball watcher leaving gaps everywhere.

 

[weev]

We will never field a good team cause we’ll never be able to afford to with so little extra left in the cap after DCEs slice.

We couldn’t even keep Green.

Penn where are you? I want hear you tell everyone again what kind of business this is?

 

[Cliffymagic]

I dont blame Barrett. If Barrett was coach at Melbourne for the last 3 years he would be known as a great coach. As others have said a million times it stems from higher up and the whole unprofessional set up we have from when des left.

 

[cherry_poppins]

Swap Suli and Parker

Swap Suli for this bloke

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Fair enough.

No we are watching the same game , and I get your drift.

But seems no one gets mine!

Anyway I’ll climb back into my hole and won’t comment again and just let everybody blame the coach for everything and completely absolve the players.

 

[HoldenV8]

Sack Barrett tomorrow and hire Madge.

Sack Cartwright and hire Beaver and/or Cliffy.

Sack Ferris and hire Matty Ballin.

Nope

They wouldn't have won ****

The ****er came ninff with penrith u/20s between 2 premierships

 

[Narly]

We're not actually over the cap despite popular belief. What we've been penalised for is technical breaches with TPA's.

Which they still can't clearly define. It's still Shyte no matter which you look at it.

 

[EagleFlys]

Seriously how’s there so many supporters still left at the ground.I would have left by now.

Nice weather.
