Post-Game Discussion Manly v Titans [Round 9, 2023]

[mave]

Swap Croker and DCE. I would love to see that

A few years too late unfortunately.

DCE would have been the best #9 in the game, but alas.

Getting flack I have no issue with . No big deal . I dont have a big ego for that to worry me

I am a very proud and Passionate Manly supporter though and what I do have an issue with is
My Legendary club not making finals and getting thrashed

Yep, with centres like Harper and Parker we are going nowhere in this competition. I've seen paint dry on a wet winters day faster than those two. Even more concerning was hearing Siebold say Parker will replace Garrick in the centres when he comes back.

 

[BOZO]

Absolutely woeful performance.

Apart from Paseka, the rest of the team should hang their heads in shame.

An absolute rabble!

If it was another team that lost like that . Well, thats footy .

But this is not just another team . This is the Legendary Manly team that was once the Benchmark of greatness and the envy of all teams

That was over 10 years ago and our light keeps on fading year after year

We need to start lighting up the place once again

Not sure about swapping Croker with DCE but I think we need to at least look at Croker at 6 given the debacle of the 6 position this year
Croker doesn’t seem to get a chance to kick enough but when he does his kicks are generally good and we need that
His defence IMO would be an improvement on what we’ve had on the left edge so far
Just an opinion and open for debate

Reality setting in…..

Yep for sure. All the early season enthusiasm is quickly degenerating into another rabble prone fiasco of a club. A captain mouthing off in the media about a lazy player, the inevitable Turbo injury crock show and then turning it up at home vs bog average opposition including the Tigers and Knights games. Rinse and repeat the last decade of mediocre lame efforts.

Croker to 6, GCKT in to hooker, and Lawton to 14 could help stabilise our spine somewhat.

What was the crowd numbers for tonight?

Well done to those that made it, sitting through that miserable weather (and the match).

I was actually thinking DCE was doing some good passing out of dummy half tonight

Just a bit over 10,000 I believe

About 10,140 and not a bad crowd for a wet night vs a non-Sydney team.

ddint seem that many, but conditions were less than favourable.

We’ve got the cattle, we just lack the attitude.

 

[Budgie]

Since The Penns took control we haven't come close to being The Mighty Sea Eagles.

They are clueless and I can't think of a great decision they've made.

I'd still hung onto the vague hope that we'd continue our proud record of a premiership every decade. It's already been 12 years and we only have until 2029.

Not going to happen with this Clown Family in charge.

The Mighty Sea Eagles? No more. Perhaps the Blue Footed Boobies would be more apt.

It feels hopeless.

Well apart from the few country games I don't think any game so far this year has had under 10000. I expect 4 Pines will break that streak soon.

Fans? Or players? 😉

 

[NREagle]

We lost our 500th match and 700th match at Brookie.

I feel the same way, Budgie

 

[47MVEagle]

The players.

It’s our attitude that’s lacking.

It’s not that hard to turn up & play as a team, even if you lose.

I don’t know what the problem is at Manly.

 

[redlineg]

Croker to 6, GCKT in to hooker, and Lawton to 14 could help stabilise our spine somewhat.

I agree
Croker is a natural half and a few years in the middle has improved his defence and his maturity
Maybe Schuster to Lock? That way his weight is not in question and he can inject his creativity when needed
Open for discussion

"I don’t know what the problem is at Manly."... we dont have the players, the depth, or the owners to go forward.
