Most underwhelming Manly EVER

[bob dylan]

Hoppas turned into a rag doll.

Our wingers today are both totally the wrong body shape for the modern game.

They need to be like To'o or Lomax or Coates, all three are very different but they are the examples of the best shapes for wingers.

Garrick ticks the box but Hoppa and Saab don't. Both are too light, one highly skilled in every aspect of the game the other is not.

Our backs too light and our forwards too slow.

Before everyone gets too negative ... just remember we can "beat anybody on our day"

Our day being the 32nd of December

A quote from DCE at the presser:

"Im doing the best I can & can hold my head up high"

High up his own arse

 

[eaglebuzz]

The connection is so not there and that’s on the coach and captain. End of discussion.

And those are the two that need to fall on their swords. Injuries aside, it's the players who are on the big bucks that are letting us down the most.

I found that to be very defensive from DCE.

He must know some people are blaming him for the rabble we've turned into since his announcenent.

It also sounded quite divisive, using "I" instead of "we" in his reply.

Their Captain has checked out , so they just followed suit.

Looking back now , he should have been dropped to NSW cup.

The rot started then , and has gotten worse as the year rolled on.

Hard to understand that the club stuck with him as club captain after he dragged them through the mud on 💯% footy.

 

[Super Coach Eagle]

How did we beat Melbourne in Melbourne a month ago.

Honestly we have been a rabble for at least 3 months.

Lost to Newcastle, Titans and Parra in the space of a 4 week period back in May/June.

The tigers and souths wins at Brookie were average games at best

The last 4 week horrendous.

I think the only way they can right this ship...

1) Make Ballin head coach as for assistants maybe Choc / Chad Randall
2) Make Des the director in some Phil Gould type role (unlikely due to his beef with Penn)

That's on Seibs mate. I don't think any other coach in the NRL would have kept him in the side let alone as captain.

I love this.

Makes me wonder if I can continue spending my hard earned money to but membership and merchandise from the club. After 37 years of supporting the team, I am ready to walk away. I live in Auckland so I might as well staring supporting the Warriors instead. to say I am disappointed is an understatement.

Disappointed is an understatement for us all at present. It's sad that you, and many others, are perhaps walking away and not renewing your membership. Like it is for me, I know it's a big outlay of your hard-earned for not much joy in return.
If DCE was staying, I'd understand your change of heart, but he'll be gone. Just remember Fogarty will be our 7 and he brings much experience and many pluses with him, including a different attitude.

Well, with a neck like that it’s always going to be high.

 

[Brookie1973]

I went to the game today and it was our worst loss for a very long time. We’ve been beaten by bigger scores but the way we squandered every opportunity we were given with insipid attack, paired with some of the worst arm grabbing defence I’ve seen (looking at you Saab, DCE and Turbo), leaves me cold.

Saab should be arrested for impersonating a footballer. Tommy and DCE need to consider new professions. OK, Turbo tried hard in attack but was ineffective; his defence was a disgrace.

Sorry you had to witness it in person. They sure look like a team that is trying to get the coach sacked.

 

[jbb/james]

When you look back at it this core group has let
gladstone
Jerseygate
Cock a doodle daly

Completely derail seasons.
3 full seasons in 8 .

once they have an excuse they accept defeat waaay too easily and have shown time and time again they lack resolve, character or whatever to want to improve.

It doesnt affect pay day We really are a rinse and repeat team

Previously i have hinted that we have coach killers amongst our group. Player power is front and centre with coach and boss and rumblings there will be. Its footy and generally both are right and wrong. Why is anyone surprised

The way des was thrown under the bus by the players after losing all those games was piss weak regardless of your thoughts on des, rainbows or a holy spirit.

I wont lose any sleep if seibs is replaced but it better be a decent candidate and can we **** all these clauses off and get someone who wants to build something FFS rather than being under the pump every time a star is injured or sooky. Grow up PENN

There are some notable contributors and hard working players that dont deserve a smear but the team, the chain . Well its not all cut from the same cloth, never has been

 

[Super Coach Eagle]

I saw that plane crash on the mona vale golf course yesterday and you only have to wonder was Seibs the instructor pilot and DCE steering the wheel there.

Almost ironic it happened during the game yesterday.

 

[double hoops]

How are those Dolphins looking?

 

[God]

Would swap Turbo for Taylan May in a second and it would of cost us next to nothing... overpaying for a so called nice guy if he was really nice we'd be paying him what he's worth now, very little.

Talent can only get you so far. You need development and coaching. Both things Seibold is devoid of.

Fogarty plays behind a forward pack that beats up other forward packs for fun.
You seriously think he is the Messiah?

Think again.
