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

[ricardo]

Yeah, and so are the Spice Girls.....

I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want ... 2020 to end

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

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.

Take a chill pill

I was simply pointing out what the stat needed to be to give a true picture

but now that you bring it up, maybe no picture is actually better than a heavily distorted one.......

ultimately your decision though.

 

[NYEagle]

Oh well that confirms it - season over.

How sad. Some individuals talent here but they just play like they are lost souls.

Elliot - can’t make a line break and runs sideways
Tafua - terrible in the wing on so many levels
Funa - soft soft soft
Garrick - can’t kick goals and does not get involved.
Sull - a Ferrari with a pea heart
Cust - no impact and hogs the ball
Trobjevic - so predictable it’s nauseating
Paseka - so big, so tall, yet not so strong
Keppie - gassed after 1 run
Waddell - soft - two crucial knock ons
Levi - no impact

nah - this team doesn’t have it. Time to make some big changes for next year.

Sorry but anyone who thinks Hasler is selecting sensibly is being too loyal and not impartial. Des has great qualities but the way I see it he has serious blind spots. I have no doubt to the loyalty he has to the players and for that he is to be commended. But he's got real problems, that Peters alluded to, in making sensible selections. He's far too conservative, and with a top side that is fine, but with one struggling, he needs to get realistic, and use the talent he has, not be bounded by loyalty to those he selects.

He did it in the mid 2000s. Why is he hedging now? It stands out like a beacon. Get Hopoate and Schuster in the side. And even Burbo. They are young I know, but its shown time and again with other sides that young blood creates fresh enthusiasm. Don't give me that rubbish they aren't ready. Other sides have shown these kids thrive on the opportunity, some younger than the kids we have in the development squad.

Are you suggesting that we'd be better off with Zorba as coach?

 

[Cliffymagic]

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

Yeah. Probly a bit harsh on Boyle and Keppie. I don't have any magical answers but would put anyone available in for Elliot. Jorge croker . Waddle back to bench.

 

[Peter C]

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

But getting twice the money

 

[Jerry1]

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

its not an even playing field. The bell ringing shows it, It;s cooked - a betting scam. corrupt & unaccountable.

 

[QueefRichards]

DCE was really good. Created a lot of chances out of nothing. I thought Haumole was impressive.

 

[ManEagle]

Thank you for going to the trouble of posting the restarts and I agree with you anyone wanting more can do it themselves

 

[Supreme Leader]

Yeah. Probly a bit harsh on Boyle and Keppie. I don't have any magical answers but would put anyone available in for Elliot. Jorge croker . Waddle back to bench.

Waddell not in 17 mate, I'd rather Guacca and Keppie be our back rowers. Hoppa for Elliott, and just saying Miski on wing for Jorge. At this point of season I'd give Clay a run at reserve hooker

 

[bSw]

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.

Fukn oath!

 

[Will on the hill]

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!!!!!

Did you watch Harper in his game for the Dogs? Saw enough from Funa tonight to know he is well in front of Harper and Parker.

 

[Supreme Leader]

Thank you for going to the trouble of posting the restarts and I agree with you anyone wanting more can do it themselves

But I add my winner tag by saying the timing and momentum of the game is changed by VERY harsh rulings

 

[Jerry1]

Thank you for going to the trouble of posting the restarts and I agree with you anyone wanting more can do it themselves

Then why bother = its meaningless,

 

[madmax]

Next week....dependent on injuries:
Hoppa
Garrick
Suli
Harper
Funa
Cust
DCE
Paseka
Levi
AFB
Olakau’atu
Sironen
Jake
Res: Schuster, Marty, Thompson, Keppie

 

[ManEagle]

Then why bother = its meaningless,

Then why care, why ask for more and knock a poster who is doing it off his own back. Do it yourself if you want the stats but don't give the guy sh1t because you want more.

 

[madmax]

Did you watch Harper in his game for the Dogs? Saw enough from Funa tonight to know he is well in front of Harper and Parker.

Have you seen his other games? He’s a marked upgrade on Parker & Taufua!!!!

In ya dreams it will be the same old sheite dished up this week won;t it Des.

 

[Will on the hill]

Agree to disagree, I see Harper as depth only.

 

[SeaEaglez]

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.

Great post! His game is becoming predictable and boring. Dare I say it, just an old fashioned hog
Where has Jakes ball playing at the line gone? He used to provide attacking options as a third receiver.
If he ball plays to his ability in some set plays close To the line,we win easy.
Damn shame, because that will really cost us.
Eliot must go. He provides absolutely nothing in attack. Can’t even run a decent decoy...just a non competitor
