Game Day: Manly v Storm [Round 24, 2016]

[Mark from Brisbane]

• DCE, you have gone backwards and have provided leteral movement in attack. You have done little since signing the lucrative contract,. Please take a few tips from Cleary and other halves .
  
  Which player has excelled under TB ?????

  
  Mate he's a different player when Jamie plays 5/8, he's just not the player that can do the lot by himself.

I disagree that the team had more ticker last year, there were times where players looked like they had given up at periods last year, I haven't seen that in this group of players this year. They put in until the end and with the players available, that for me is ticker.

c we were a feared team, we had mongrel, we had energy in everything we did not matter which player came to the team they stepped up. that is what we are missing and that i believe is what the Coach brings. with the caliber of players on the field for us, i can confidently assume a coach like Hasler, Bennet or Bellamy would have had a much better overall result with player improvements in general. We are on the slide with TB period.

Lets compare DCE to Cronk
repeat sets
missed tackles?
try assists
we dont need DCE to do it all himself he just needs to do things better considering his pay packet.

Dear Forum members
Im no troll, im just pissed at the fact that TOOVEY had a team with more ticker and finished stronger despite all the turmoil he faced. There are only 4 players out there with any ticker left.

2016 u have a new coaching staff , what have they achieved with all the new players ? It the most gutted i have ever felt. watching these boyz bleed. What have TB and Cartwright achieved ????
I cant be the only one this peed off surely...

We all share your pain, but I can't just blame the coach when about 3 million in players are unable to take the field.

If we sign a 5/8 ( Green would do) , maybes decent forward such as Gillett, and if available a centre AND if we can get a decent run on injuries we will be better in 2017.

Ok let's compare , Cronk has undoubtedly the greatest ever game manager and number 9's in the game right beside him, a future immortal ( like it or not).

And, whilst no superstar , Greens a fair 5/8.

Who did DCE have tonight????

Even when the $3m bench was n the field, which top 8 team did we beat? or when we did we last beat a Hasler, Arthur team?

Mate I feel your pain but we did have $3.5 million worth of players sitting on the sideline. My question is for 2 years in a row why have we had the most injuries of any team in the competition. Is this the responsibility of the training staff, physios??? Or is it just bad luck. Anyway mate keep the passion coz we'll come good eventually.

I was disappointed in Partcell. I thought he was a dynamic runner, but he's now just a poo man's Balin, tackling and passing.

His best strength is his pace but he never uses it. I'd take Api any day of the week over him. Koroisau brings something in attack, the X factor.

Just think boys and girls. 8 months till we are back in the competition again.

Great picture HM . Is that from today?

He just came back from a series of pretty serious leg injuries. What do you expect?

His service was much better than Koroisau's, that much was evident. Passes were quick and on the chest of the players.

Api is not a starting hooker. His passes are often slow and don't hit their mark and this stifles the whole team's attack.

Despite that he is a competitor and deserves a spot on the bench, absolutely.

Parcell offered nothing in attack when he was fully fit at the start of the year. At least we have attack when Api is playing, parcells service was not as good as some say tonight. DCE was getting it on the chest but how many times did parcells slowly pass the ball to him putting him under a lot of pressure. I'm not convinced Parcell is good yet

Were you blind earlier in the season? Time after time Parcell made big metres running from dummy half.

Bro when u had your other account you declared Parcell will be buy of the year and he was better than Api. Now you say different. Nevertheless, Parcell is the better of the two as a hooker.

I can blame the coach,bad decisions on a consistent basis, i think he got the papers to write that article to save his ass. Barrett had more depth this year than toovey last year and still under performed. The Norm at Manly now has being lowered, we don't expect to win anymore.

It was his first game back from leg injuries (hamstring) since Round 15 (the loss to the Tits) which was actually 2 months ago today. Personally I thought Parcell put in a solid effort and he was a marked improvement from dummy half on what we've seen from Api.
