Watching the titans game live it was clear they don't care.
As bad as Foran in Albury all those years ago?
Hopefully the Lehi injection will spark some enthusiasm.

Like playing in the school seconds team, where most were only there because they had to be.As bad as Foran in Albury all those years ago?

They better b###dy win, I'm taking the day off work driving over 300km over 3hrs with me kids to watch the game. Staying in an airbnb in bulldogs territory then bus to the train station to Circular quay then ferry to Manly then bus to the ground and all that again to get home. If they don't win this one me kids won't be coming back here again and my membership is done.It'll be a tough one to win alright, just think the home crowd might sneak us home. Pity it's not an 8pm game, the 6pm game wont be a full house but then again I could be wrong..
I’d say it’s a mark of how dire our recent form has been that anyone would consider a win over the tigers at home as anything other than a bare pass mark, and hardly worthy of “credit”. A more relevant question may be if our recent form continues and we lose a game we should win, who will get the blame (apart from the person we cannot name).Seems a consensus that this could be Manly's worst pack in (10, 20, 50) years.
So..
if Manly shocks everyone and actually wins (!!!)... I wonder who who will get the credit?
My prediction -
No-one! it will be because Tigers are crap!
Benji will do exactly what Des did to us. He will get them throwing the ball around from the get go and Lodge will be gassed in 10 mins. How does he go from not in the 17 to starting prop??? And yep, the whole Jazz/Jake thing is very frustrating.
I want to say if we can just hold our own we can still win but as @susan noted, when compared to what is needed these days, this has got to be one of the slowest immobile forward packs in the comp.
I think we'll know early if we're any chance.
We don't want the spoonIs it wrong to be cheering for the Tigers and Souths in the next two weeks,just to get closer to a Seibold exit?Given how close the comp is,losses in those 2 games,may not spell the end of the season and a fresh,less gruff voice in the dressing rooms could make a difference
For all we know he might be telling seibold but falling on deaf ears.As I said above, I feel for Jazz because this really isn't what he signed for.
FMD, one of our assistant coaches is Mick Ennis, himself a decorated dummy half and the one that Fox League is pushing to replace Seibold. You'd think at least he would know that makeshift dummy halves don't work.....

Have a nice trip EDTD, bit like myself when I come down to Brookie from Bris. It's all the forms of transport, car, plane, train, ferry then bus.They better b###dy win, I'm taking the day off work driving over 300km over 3hrs with me kids to watch the game. Staying in an airbnb in bulldogs territory then bus to the train station to Circular quay then ferry to Manly then bus to the ground and all that again to get home. If they don't win this one me kids won't be coming back here again and my membership is done.
So there will be an extra 3 mad Eagles in the crowd yelling their heads off trying to sneak us home. If you hear a guy screaming his head off with a couple of 4pines in his hand wearing a sign Pepsi jersey with number5 on it that'll be me.
I hope it's not going to be a scream but instead a smile ;-)) and the drive home will be worth it.
C'MON MANLY
Lodge is a slow fat cxnt. The last time he played he looked like the fxcken Michelin man.Nothing bar Paseka, Aloiai and Haumole will change this awful pack. Not even Navale unfortunately.
I don't think we get the spoon, but we'll get awfully close. This pack is downright terrible. The only hope I have, is that Lodge is slightly fitter. That is probably the only thing that can save it.
Whatever changes can, or will be made, are basically for nothing. Our long term problems in roster are completely and absolutely rearing their heads.
I am in no way making excuses. I am stating a fact. That forward pack is just plain shxt. It is embarrassingly bad.Spare Me with the Excuses feathered friend
You are trying to Milk this forum again with your Excuses
Its time for you to post another Meme of Milking Cows
I have been watching the Tigers and I agree a few losses have been unlucky due to their ill discipline plays
The other loses where due to their defensive lapses that lead to their capitulation loses and giving away winnable leads,
Benjie has had a good run with injuries and a well recruited team with premiership winning leaders and up and coming stars
No Excuses for Benjie
Our forward pack has 8 regular and mostly starting players
Players that were handpicked by Seibold
No Excuses for Seibold
Jurbo
Burbo
Bullermore
Taukeiko
Tevaga
Simpkin
Brown
Siply
All playing against the Tigers
For all we know he might be telling seibold but falling on deaf ears.
But blind Freddy can see Jazz at 13, Jake to Prop rotation and Simpkins starting would have been a better option.
