Game Day: Manly v Sharks [Round 11, 2023]

[Waz13]

The only thing keeping me interested in this game are my bets. But they all involve us scoring a try, so why bother! Seriously look at our attack today and over the past 3 weeks. It’s insipid! One try v Titans, keppie barge over, 1 try v broncs by burbo in the 78th min, the tigers tries were rubbish and now this. Seriously wtf is going on? I know weve had spine combo issues but seriously, offer something.

Seibold out before it’s too late

Until we have new owners we're basically destined for the same **** every season ..... changing the coach is just changing the deck chairs on the titanic.

 

[The Royal Soup]

This is the worst manly team I think I can remember - in terms of effort. There is absolutely no commitment, no effort and absolutely no idea at all. They can’t attack. They have no guts. They don’t deserve to wear our jersey. We should be behind by miles more than this. If sharks weren’t so **** they’d be up by 30. Our only player slightly putting in is DCE. and even he can’t kick the ball over the sideline. Unbelievable.

100% correct!!

the worst and most pathetic lacklustre no heart Manly side i have ever seen!!!

 

[KNUCKLES]

Jeeze Tom is a shadow of the player he was..

It's okay only four more years

 

[Uk eagle]

We are far too passive in defence, the sharks are making massive metres because we are standing back and letting them. In attack we offer nothing absolutely nothing. On form we must be the worst team in the comp and when you think how bad the Tigers and dragons are going that in itself tells you how bad we are. Our only hope of scoring a try was if they went off early at half time

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

They have made 1050 metres and we have made 520m

Out forwards just don’t run onto the ball.

Our defence doesn’t move up, we just hang back waiting for the attack to do what they want.

Starts from the passing from hooker, the slow service and slow passing makes it difficult to make much yardage. Put Gordon @ 9 and you will see the forwards make more yardage.

 

[niccipops]

It just seems we don't have the right puzzle pieces. We're lacking something that the true contenders have. Some kind of spark is missing. Chez giving his all.
Can they turn it around this year? Just don't know. Have we got the right coach? Don't know. Will I keep bleeding maroon and white? Yes
Here's to a good second half.

 

[Waz13]

We would have a lot better chance of doing just that if we still had Foran.

But then Schu would be upset cos he ain’t playing 6…….

 

[Alfreddo]

Yeah I dunno. We have 2-3 quick tries in us still. Start this 2nd half on fire then we might just grab the momentum to go on with this

 

[Chunkytuna]

Cannot win with less than 40% of the ball. Until we fix that we wont again.

Mate it wouldn’t matter how much ball we got, we have no idea in attack. Being here live it’s so obvious how impotent our attack is. Sharks are just eating our attack up. Guac should be hooked. He’s walking into the defence. Keppie- ****house. Paseka - not firing yet. Bully - bog average. The whole team needs a massive rocket but they won’t get it. I get the feeling Seibold is one of these softly softly losers. They need some serious ****en revving up. Des would be tearing the dressing room apart based on this tripe.

 

[Simonmyers11]

A bit sus?? Those two next to each other is a recipie for disaster. I rate Brad Parker as a good defender, but even he is being made to look bad because of those two clowns inside of him.

Parker is a liability too these days, misses plenty of simple tackles. Very weak left hand side defence. The worst in the comp actually

Dessie must be sitting at home, counting his money, amd just laughing at that fkwit Penn.

Optimist/Pessimist pulse .. UPDATE

If Manly can keep their principal players on the field (DCE, Jake, Turbo, Schuster, Olakau'atu, Koula, Garrick) we'll make the 8 in a canter. Lose two or three of them over a long stretch, and I suspect we'll be also rans. We already have 2 of those gone

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Even if the penalty count is 100 to 1 in our favour we wont win.

 

[Chunkytuna]

Yeah I dunno. We have 2-3 quick tries in us still. Start this 2nd half on fire then we might just grab the momentum to go on with this

Mate I love your optimism but I’m not sure if you’re here at the ground but it’s painful to see our team with ZERO heart. We are not coming back.

 

[Budgie]

26 missed tackles in one half of football.

26

 

[God]

I'm out of miracles sorry

 

[NYEagle]

Let’s be positive:

Turbo playing better - 100 metres
Very lucky to be 2-14. Should be 0-20.Free throw at the stumps?
Aaron Woods has been a good buy as he looks solid and it has freed up some cap. Need to spend it this year

If we can just get that first converted try may get some confidence and make a comeback?.

Turbo's best half in ages......... has to selected for NSW on that.

If that’s the case , Maroons are certain to win

Starts from the passing from hooker, the slow service and slow passing makes it difficult to make much yardage. Put Gordon @ 9 and you will see the forwards make more yardage.

Gordon to hooker, Froggy to 5/8 and Shoe to lock.

For me its a no brainer. Not sure our coaches see it that way though.
