Game Day: Manly v Souths [Round 2, 2021]

[Simonmyers11]

Well, I'm finally on board the DCE to hooker train. He is a liability at the moment at first receiver. He can't decide which option to take so he takes them all at once. Kills us in attack, kills us whenever we get a chance to get back into the game. But he does have a running game, so… Hook him or put him to hooker.

He is standing in no mans land. Either Foran needs to get his hands on the ball both sides of ruck at first receiver or josh shuster and play a lot deeper out the back to a running DCE. Dce caught flat footed NOT DEEP ENOUGH, then tries to come up with a miracle play. Still cannot stand crocker either, cannot hold up the defence at all, just passes and makes it so so easy to read.. They read the pass to DCE so easily

Marty? Dude you got no clue hahahahaha he's been busting his ass off all for dce to keep stuffing up. Without Marty we would get dominated every game

Go back from start of game and keep an eye in him..he is dumb and a hog cause in his mind he us a star but the thing is he is weak for his size..he is more worried about a little cut on his head than the game..he needs to watch players in his position from the past and the injuries they played through with

 

[pjayz]

Why can't Foran and DCE link up, at least once this game?

Foran needs to take over the team

 

[Yaz Eagle]

Not sure if I have been watching the same game but everyone keeps bagging DCE. There are other players who have also not done well this half - Taupau twice dropped the ball in their 20, Walker has knocked on a few times and mainly when coming out of our half, Jake has been quiet, Saab doesn’t even seem to have touched the ball much. DCE is overtrying- as the captain of the team he is putting is all in.
If we don’t drop the ball and some of the other players also lift we are still in with a chance.
I’d say put Cust on soon make runs from dummy half.

You again see the folly of playing guys out of position, Why is Des persisting with Dylan at full back, he is all at sea. It is really unfair to see this when our right side attack is useless!!!

We seem to be 10 yards slower than the Vermin with the ball and their attacking kicks in half 1 have yielded 2 tries, 2 resets and have we achieved anything like that??? Nope Zero!! its a massive difference our halves are not doing it!!

 

[Steve76]

The good:

• Both Joshes... Joshi? Good runs by Aloiai and Schuster has been good in both attack and defence.
• Jake has been more disciplined
• Crocker try

The bad:

• injury to Davey
• DCE
• Walker at fullback
• DCE
• Garrick the minus metre eater

Add saab does **** all

 

[Kez]

Seriously. What's the point of making a good run when you drop it twice when we're attacking the line?

Exactly

 

[Cioran]

I'm watching on Foxtel. The commentators raved about the attacking set where the ball stayed on the left side of the field and never went near DCE. They went on about how the team was playing direct and with organisation and purpose.

 

[mave]

WTF was Walker doing with the 40/20 ?

I know,it was a brilliant kick, but at least make a play at the ball.....slow the clock, etc.

 

[JBW]

I wouldn't bother putting Cust at hooker, replace the half back with him the guy playing in the 7 has forgotten how to play football...

 

[Scorpio]

Positives

The ball looks like it is actually getting to Suli and Saab via Gosiewski.

The towering bombs are causing them lots of problems but this could be Souths just screwing up.

For the most part we are actually competing.

Negatives

DCE trying to win the match on every play in the 20m zone, mostly just turns the ball over without building pressure.

Dylan Walker is not a fullback. Been the cause of several tries. But if Funa was there people would complain as well.

 

[Clint]

Seriously shut it Anasta - you’d never know he used to be a rabbid

Easy solution. Turn sound off TV. Turn tunes on. Makes for a much more enjoyable experience than listening to the commentary.
Go Manly!

I’d say put Cust on soon make runs from dummy half.

He would want to be over trying the miney he is on

 

[davohan123]

We always let teams score with 1 minute to go

Far out we are in this souths are not out of second gear !!

But our attack is so slow

Running across field throwing ball to nobody is not over trying.
His poor efforts on play and lack of attentiveness is his problem.
If he is trying, I'd hate to see him not l.

 

[StuBoot]

Marty? Dude you got no clue hahahahaha he's been busting his ass off all for dce to keep stuffing up. Without Marty we would get dominated every game

So we just overlook Marty's two soft turnovers on tackle one and two inside their 20m.' yeah?

 

[Waz13]

Walker has been by far our biggest problem today. He’s not a fb Des ffs! Dce crap yes and 2nd to Walker no doubt. We’ll be better when Marty and paseka get back in. Keppie has been crap being stood up every run. Sof needs a run.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Fmd these **** guys are a bunch of bias scum bags poor latrine sent to the bin

 

[SeaEagle007]

We are playing better than last week... Weather is not helping, few things, yes DCE having another shocker, needs to tone it down and get back to basics, and stop trying to play dry weather footy in the wet... Rabbitohs first try was at least 1 metre forward... The Penalty against DCE was bull$hit.. should of been 6 more tackles .... Last try was unfortunate , just our luck.. Positive is we can still score first second half and game on.... Des needs to Bring on Cust to 7 , Dce to 9, Walker to centres , Parker to wing , Saab to Fullback.. IMO

 

[mave]

Aloiai has been a positive factor.
Plays angry.
