Game Day: Manly v Sharks [Round 23, 2022]

[XV-1]

Is Schuster playing edge or lock? If it is lock, good to see Des trying something new.

Des didn't tell him where he is playing.

 

[NYEagle]

Love Foz. No matter what's happening around him with the rest of the rabble, he's been Mr Reliable all season.

Agree. He can hold his head high.

But just watch them, Foz and DCE could not care less about this game tonight.

7 players quit on these guys, and they just can’t forgive.it so are going through the motions.

We're watching the complete disintegration of what was once a great club. The Penns , Des and DCE can take full responsibility for this. They have splintered this club , not just since the jersey fiasco but this has been a couple of years in the making. It all points back to the polarising, elitist , overpaid captain and a narcissistic coach that has now led to several more players asking for early release. This is no longer the club I've supported since the early 70s. This is now a joke, farce of a club that will be languishing down the bottom for years to come whilst ever we pay 3 players 30% of our salary capacity a myopic, narcissist dinosaur of a coach and a clueless sycophant owner.

Come on mate don’t hold back. Say it how you feel 🙂

 

[Spartan Eagle]

There's nothing Des can say in the sheds at half time to fire them up. Just lather up boys.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well we all knew this was going to happen. No surprises.

Yep , I predicted 51+

And so far on track

 

[mave]

Bull****. You've rammed on about how everyone here is this and that, negative this and that, name called, abused, rallied people to your cause. You don't have a right to complain.

Well, I called you a derogatory word. I own that.

I don't ram on about everyone here is this and that. You may have me confused with others. Happy for you to shoe otherwise.

I stopped bagging posters for being negative years ago. Happy for you to show otherwise.

Yeah, I can complain all I like.

100% correct

 

[joeboy]

The joint is rotten when the captain is mailing it in.

Or is the joint rotten because of the captain?

 

[God]

If Des goes can he take most of this team with him, we need a rebuild - suggest they all go to Perth and start the WA Wankers franchise

 

[XV-1]

It's been proven if 50 are scored against a team, they can't win the comp 😂

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

Theres just no decent coaches out there

See general Forum where I stated someone was right for suggesting you were a simpleton after you had a go at them.

I figured they had already lubed up before they went out for the first half... though, they may need a second application at half time

This game reminds me of the Manly South’s semi final in 2014. That was a broken team too, and they ended up losing 48-24. Looks to be something like that in the works tonight.

Knew we'd get pumped but figured I'd tune in anyway to survey the damage. If anyone thinks this team isn't seriously broken, think again. One more round after this and plenty of players moving on, and it can't come soon enough.

How's that Brookvale hoodoo looking now? Cronulla haven't had to do anything much and they're up 22-0.

All anyone has to do against Manly is hold the ball, put up a kick here and there, then sit back and watch the points pile up. If you are anywhere near our tryline, you will score a try. And if we are anywhere near your try line, we will drop the ball. The inevitability of it all is ****ing maddening.

And I can't even bring myself to be upset that we let Nicho Hynes go. Honestly, I'm happy for him. If he'd stayed here, even if he did somehow end up getting game time ahead of our team of established and immovable "superstars", there's no way he'd be the player he is today.

 

[BOZO]

I hope we show something in the second half

Because so far we showed nothing 🙁

 

[bob dylan]

30?

Double that.

I told you all in round 7 we'd win the second half and we did easily (several posters scoffed and laughed) to only go down by 12.

I expect similar here - whether it happens or no is another thing.

This next 40 minutes will tell us everything about this team. Surely they aim up against this ordinary opposition in front of our home fans.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Netflix beckons

Couple more try’s and I’m gone for the night , not much fun watching the disintegration of a side.

We all knew it was coming but it’s still not fun to watch.

Bet we don't get 24 points

 

[Gmac115]

As much as know one likes to see it, I think getting absolutely obliterated in our last couple of games might be the only tiny catalyst for change that might exist within the club.
On another point, how did we turn Ethan Bully(less) into jetski V2.0?
