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

[Simonmyers11]

Well, I haven't seen much of Quac but dam, he is a handful and can hit. Far out. At least that is a positive.

I want to see Hoppa at the back and Funa to wing

 

[Shoe1]

Don’t blame Jake for hitting it up, he was filling in for afb and Marty

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

Jake is a hog.....pure & simple. On at least 5 occasions tonight he killed our momentum when he should have passed the ball! He’s become boring & predictable.

yep hes become an inbetween version of tolman and graham and we know who coached them ....

 

[Fibro Eagle]

What can you say about that just finished for me as watching delayed due to work
The Croker play just before 1/2 time kicks on the 4th then gives away the penalty then they score on 1/2 time
FMD I’m done with Croker play Levi for the full 80 mins
On. Better note the young guys Funa and Guac were best on field tonight
Dosent that say something

 

[Ranga]

2 things Ranga, we are soooo slow to get to kicks and also...they have to have both won field position and a lack of pressure on the main kicker

I think you are spot on with the lack of speed. Both attack and defence. Just so disappointing, not to mention excruciating, to watch.

That was Cust that kicked on the 4th just before half time?

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Yes very soft but my comment still stands , they at least didn’t just throw the towel in!!

Agree they didn’t , but gee they play dumb footy sometimes

 

[mickqld]

HAHAHA I can't believe I'm reading that Manly supporters think it was a good effort to only lose by 4 points to a sht Warriors team that has no coach, no halfback, living away from home and family, several players jumped ship and little hope for this season. How any of that FUKING GARBAGE we dished up tonight is acceptable makes me think this club is no longer what it once was. We have turned into acceptable losers. Never thought in 45 years I'd see this day. They're an embarrassment to the jumper, the colours and the culture of this once great and proud club. Anyone who makes excuses for this garbage has no FUKING idea what this club is all about.

 

[Chuck]

There's been so many signs this year. The game against a Broncos team that were having 50 put on them week after week, the first half vs Parra first time we played them. The Sharks game.

We are just not good enough, injuries or not.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

That was Cust that kicked on the 4th just before half time?

corrected but still the wrong play

 

[Cioran]

I am a DCE fan but I would be dropping him.

Don’t drop him just put him in the centre’s. He can’t play heads up footy, he can’t organise the play, and his short kicking game is poor but he can run, tackle and turn a half break into a try. He may never earn the whole million plus that we’re paying him but we will get better value from him in the centres than at half.

 

[Supreme Leader]

Des needs to read this. Perfect

Did good with the backs mate. Disagree with the reserves. I really like Keppie, Boyle should be given more time to develop (on the provision he shaves the mo off - seriously - what an under achiever).

Hey Cliffy, all good to knock the players, name the replacements - your the team selector. Just saying... and yes I know I'm being a d$#khead

 

[madmax]

Well, I haven't seen much of Quac but dam, he is a handful and can hit. Far out. At least that is a positive.

I want to see Hoppa at the back and Funa to wing

I’d promote Harper to Center, Hoppa to FB, Funa to wing, Ola & Siro 2R......Jorge, Elliott, Croker out......Schuster, Thompson, Paseka, Keppie reserves. If Levi can’t do 80 then Cust to hooker, Schuster to 5/8!!!!!

 

[Supreme Leader]

I wouldnt be so angry if Des tried to change players up and bring some young blokes in, but week after week pretty much same side, well guess what same result....what does he expect will change that, a spray at half time??? Well that hasnt worked so well.

Mate can I say that the newbies were FANTASTIC and given time will be there for the next 4 years. Very impressed.... it the rest of the team that was the problem. Bring more youngster in I say!.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Have to say, I find it strange that we get 3 repeat sets against us and off side penalty in first 5 mins, yet when we were attacking the line with 5 to go Warriors were rushing up way before the hooker touched the ball. It's why we lacked options, just as DCE and Cust were receiving the ball warriors players already up in their faces. It was blatantly obvious

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

Don’t drop him just put him in the centre’s. He can’t play heads up footy, he can’t organise the play, and his short kicking game is poor but he can run, tackle and turn a half break into a try. He may never earn the whole million plus that we’re paying him but we will get better value from him in the centres than at half.

Time he followed in his coaches footsteps. Into the lock position with instructions to tackle anything that moves.
/s off

late edit

have now included the /s off at the end

 

[Jethro]

The set restarts stat needs to be in the format

set restart / # of extra tackles gained

Example
Manly : 4 / 4
Warriors: 3 /18

That all sounds very nice and would be great to have but sorry, I would rather be watching the game than having to monitor both the set restarts and on what tackle they were on.

If anybody wants more than just the tackle restart tally that I have been posting, then somebody else can put their hand up and volunteer to do the tackle restart against the tackle count because I won't be doing it.

If what I am doing at the moment is not good enough, I can always just not post the tackle restarts at all if that's what others want. Just let me know and I will stop.

 

[dowdz]

Glad i missed the game by the sounds of things. Don't think I will watch the replay either.i know we have keys players out but WTF is going with our mighty club?

 

[silver]

Tafua is a liability and costs us points every damn week. Targeted every week. Get rid of him. His selection cannot be justified. Good reason why nobody else had tried to sign him in the past... he is not 1st grade standard

You do just fine Jethro I find it just hard to comment while a game is on let alone do any extras
