Game Day: Manly v Titans [Round 19, 2020]

[HoldenV8]

Cant blame the loss on him, but what was pretty obvious was his lack of desire, commitment & effort

Not blaming just one player mate. But for all the hype, for all the BS, Albert Hopoate has so far been a major disappointment. You're 100% correct. He is showing absolutely no desire, no commitment and very very little effort.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

What would I call that?
Hmmmmm I would call that our club Captain, Qld Captain and Current Australian Half sucking it up and acting like a MAN in the face of a really **** time.
Contrary to your mudslinging schoolboy antics some of us actually stand up and act like an adult even when they don't want to.
Perhaps he should have stormed off and kicked a hole in the dressing shed wall instead.

Acting like a man? Wow... he's laughing and joking like a KID and you think he's manning up? That would be going over to the fans and apologising not laughing and joking with the team that just embarrassed us.... again!

What do you think of this?

At brookie in front of fans who made the effort to go watch these duds

It's a bloke shaking hands, doesn't mean he isn't shattered, he knows that wasn't good enough. Doesn't mean he has to ignore everyone and walk off. Fark me.

 

[Blake A]

Seen what? Jakes a pussy fuks he crying for? Always crying and whining. Boo hoo

So DCE is not allowed to have a laugh? And now Jake isn’t allowed to cry? Next you’ll be angry that someone is breathing.

 

[Jethro]

Thanks Jethro so we actually got more set restarts that the Titans ,I kniw your right but watching it appeared to be the other way ,maybe it was my Manly bias .
thanks

Nah, it was correct. I record and watch at the same time, the FOX coverage and reverse the recording and replay it to get the tackle count for whoever gets the set re-start. The tackle number is written down and compiled at both half time and full time and posted on the Silvertails game thread.

People make too much of players sharing a laugh with the opposition after a game.Its good sportsmanship and sets an example to kids.There are issues at the club and those who dislike the smiles after a loss will point to that as an example,but it’s the least of the problems

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

@Bring back the.... Biff? See @Simonmyers11 just above. He to can see whats actually going on.
But you keep telling everyone else how disappointed you are.

 

[wombatgc]

Fox is a disgrace. Not only did they get Jake on to rub salt in the wound over Tommy. But what about the huge disrespect shown to the Titans to not interview anyone from their team, and not mention their win at all in the time they were interrogating Jake, and rolling worse case scenarios for Tommy at the bottom of the screen the whole time. If I was a Titans fan I’d be filthy with that, especially having your "cultural " leader in Meninga on the panel, not a word of praise for the Titans. Fkn media just after clickbait negativity.

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

Most disgusting effort i have ever seen From my club. Go away if you dont have the passion to play. Be an accountant but do not play for the sea eagles. Absolutely disgusting lack of heart display. See ya next season if we change our roster. Should be ashamed of yourselves good men have bled for this club and you guys throw that crap up.

I resent that... I'm very passionate about tax returns

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

The conversation went:
“I hear Hoppa’s manager is asking for $350k a season.”

Tell him he's dreaming.

Maybe he’s changing that to Korean Won which is $411.52.

You and I are definitely inferring two different things from that picture. Fark me!

Kind of wish he had stormed off and kicked a hole in the dressing shed wall. I could have taken that as pride in the colours and anger about the loss. DCE was no worse than anybody else out there today but he is paid to be better than anyone else in the comp.

 

[Supreme Leader]

Seriously don't get why we played players not going to be there next year. Did it really matter if we won or lost the last 2 games. Guaca should have played, Burbo should have played. To see that game and the ineptness of game management, stupid passes, no urgency in defense. Embarrassing and a disgrace.

That was a crap game. If Croker. Waddell are in the team next I'm going to loose it

 

[Wombat64]

We are that bad that the ****en Broncos would towel us up ....

 

[Supreme Leader]

We are definitely inferring two different things from that picture. Fark me!

If he didn't have a smile he'd be accused of unsportmanship? He can't win

 

[Simonmyers11]

Lots of work to be done in the off season!

 

[Moops]

If he didn't have a smile he'd be accused of unsportmanship? He can't win

I would hate to be in a Storm players position if he was laughing it up after a 20 point hiding against the Titans at home. Me thinks Bellamy may not be too amused. But that is the difference between the two clubs at this moment in time I guess.

 

[Cioran]

If he didn't have a smile he'd be accused of unsportmanship? He can't win

He can win. It just doesn’t happen very often.

 

[The Wheel]

Well just back from game and all I can say is they played like a team that is in the middle of a clean out. No spirit, effort or pride. Pathetic
