Game Day: Manly v Warriors [Round 13, 2020]

[Little Grubber Kick]

The effort in the opening 15 mins. was a disgrace.

Time for a 'Truth Session'

I mean ANOTHER 'Truth Session'

WAIT, wrong year! that was Trents go!

 

[SeaEagle21]

We've been figured out something hard, the jamming in up from.the wing gets picked out so much now that it is the go to play for opposing halves.

Well done to the Warriors, deserved that win and we were only in the game from the 2 sin bins.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

I didn’t watch but at least they got back into the game. Given the circumstances, probably a creditable performance.

This season has gone. The loss to the Eels and the loss to Newcastle were critical blows.

These young kids lifted the side. Time to look to the future.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Surely Des needs to change our backline, Elliott out!!! He offers nothing, safe player maybe on the bench but not a starting FB, croker just go please, Wadelll learn to hold the ball.
Unbelieveable!!!

Elliot was a pathetic. He offers nothing.

 

[Shoe1]

Pathetic losing to the Warriors at home. Season good as gone after this one..

This year we keep hearing Sharks, knights, now warriors haven’t won at brookie forever. That sort of mock talk scares me

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Let’s face it with the outs we had before the game AND during to get to 26-22 was a fair effort.

The game was lost in the first 15 minutes

 

[Jerry1]

Now I have to start the weekend angry & cranky...

 

[madmax]

I’m done.....if Elliott, Taufua, Waddell are selected again I’ll give up on the season! Don’t know WTF Des is thinking lately but something needs to change ASAP or we’re done. I’m getting more & more despondent each week......

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Disappointing, but let’s leave the young guys in 1st grade, possibly minus butterfingers Waddell.

Duck Duck was a Goose Goose

 

[Shoe1]

excuses excuses we played against a team who can't go home released their 5/8 the coach turned them down they have loan players on our home "fortress" in our coaches 400th game and we get rolled and it's all because of injuries lol.

They bashed us and scored before manly woke up. Common occurrence this year

 

[Tomay]

When you’re paying big bucks to someone in a position like Jake he really needs to contribute to make up for shortcomings elsewhere. While I know he gets through a lot of work, lately there is very little quality about it. No quick play the balls and very few offloads. In defence his low tackles give away too many fast play the balls and he is giving away an extraordinary amount of penalties - often dumb ones late in the set. He’s a great player but out of form. Im worried these new ruck rules might not suite his style of football.

 

[Mals]

Put a fork in this team they’re done for the season! We can lament the injury toll but there’s just too many passengers in the side who don’t get dropped when they don’t perform.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Is it me or is Jake now playing the same way Toleman played at the Dogs under Des? Too much ball in late tackles that stiffles the attack.

Exactly the same , sadly

 

[Daddycool]

Gutsy effort considering we again, lost key players during the game But..... FMD they’ve got 0 composure. So many chances to win the game and we just can’t get it done.
Twice they had a player in the bin and that was the only time we could get into the game.
So frustrating to sit thru but at least I’m resigned to this season being a bust. Come on Des, give some other players a go.

 

[maxta]

You Really think Manly deserved to win that ???

Agreed - they were horrible tonight

 

[Jerry1]

Elliot was a pathetic. He offers nothing.

He tries but is out of his league.

 

[Ned]

You Really think Manly deserved to win that ???

I thought we could, one more try and it was ours. We couldn't get that but there wasn't much in it TBH.

 

[eaglebuzz]

Season over I am guessing. If we can't beat the warriors we will be lucky to make the 8.

 

[The Royal Soup]

1 Brendan Elliot - slow **** and offers nothing in attack, drop

2 Jorge Taufua - defensive liability, drop

[Mark from Brisbane]

He tries but is out of his league.

Wouldn’t get a run on in any of the other 15 sides , doing his best I suppose and probably not on big money but is very average to say the least.
