For all the wrist slitting on here, if you take out of any club's first choice starting 17:

Fullback
Both centres
5/8

Their backline is going to struggle.

At full strength we would most likely have won that game.

Let's not forget we also haven't had a proper number 9 for over three seasons now

Never like to comment straight after a loss, things become a bit more crystal the following day. And it was crystal clear today that we have no attacking ability without Turbo, the Shyster and Kuola. Our backline attack without them is just pass it through the hands, oh..we've run out of space, take the tackle...or if it's the 5th a rushed kick will do, hell, who knows. We should of just carted it up the middle all night, we couldn't of done any worse.

Most teams would be in a similar quandary if you took out three of their most creative attacking players.

So disappointing! I don’t dislike Harper but FMD Siebold needs to change something. Why he persists with him is becoming annoying! Apart from Garrick, Saab & DCE our backline is pedestrian! Forwards are doing their job….

Why he persists with him is because we have no depth for backline positions

I've seen players from The Blacktown Sea Eagles that would add energy and skill to the 1st Grade side.
Drop a few 1st Graders and put in a few NSW Cup players.
Jake Toby springs to mind.
Manly lacked any creativity and/or flair against a raging Titans team.
I was dismayed by Manly's poor display.
I was very sad and disappointed.
It was very un-Manly like.
There aren't many things on this Planet that I'm so passionate about that brings swells of emotions and tears to my eyes.
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles are one of those things that do.

Bring back Barrett.

Syd Barrett was a founding member and spiritual leader of PINK FLOYD back in the mid-1960's.
He took too much Acid and left the Band, replaced by Dave Gilmour.
He lived in a flat under his mother's house for most of his life.
After suffering from Type 2 diabetes for several years, Syd died at his home in Cambridge, England, in 2006 at age 60.
Baby lemonade forever Syd.
Shine on You Crazy Diamond...............

Harper makes a lot of try saving tackles.
His attacking play could be more creative though.

Bit of word going around that there’s a sh*t fight brewing between the Moses/Tartak camps.The club are trying to push out a couple of Tartak clients that the club aren’t happy with,no prizes for guessing who one of them is.This could get messier than the on field performances

The panel talked about this matter on 100% Footy on Monday 01/05/23
