No more BS - Manly are still in there

[Eaglehauser]

Out of interest tell me who you would mark up against Olam?

A good Taufua hit is what this guy needs.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Gee I hope they can shake Friday off and refocus.

Welch is skiting in the Sunday paper that they did their homework on turbo and shut him down.

Keep thinking that big fella, because from my perspective the game was lost on the back of lots of errors which directly led to tries, and also buggered up our possession. I doubt your homework on turbo would have counted if manly held the ball better.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

We imploded it’s that simple. Our pack didn’t get the job done and DCE didn’t steady the ship. They have to be prepared to roll up their sleeves and slug it out and not try miracle players in every set and turn over possession.

I highly doubt Des has been blowing any fuses at all. They all know what they did wrong and he has probably left them to accept and own it for a couple of days...then start the process of remedying and atoning for it.

He would've given them, particularly the forwards an Olympic sized spray.

If we aren’t contending in the next 1-2 years we won’t be contending in 3-5. The squad we have at the moment are building into a squad that should be challenging in 2022/2023 with DCE still steering the ship.

Yep this will be a brief window maybe 3 season.

It can be longer Manly 2007 to 2014 was 8 year run. The current Storm run These are more the exceptions than the rule.

2014 - why did i mention it. Hodkinsons 2 field goals haunts me as much as the loss in the 2013 GF.

Both with Toovey as coach. 2012 we finished 4th with the same coach, beaten 40-12 by the Storm in the semi.

Why did I mention Toovey......(can i just say i hope he is our next coach).

A nice little ankle injury to Tedesco would be nice, nothing too bad, just enough to keep him out for one week

We can also break his ankle during the match feathered friend .

Its never too late .

 

[BOZO]

No pain

No gain 🙂

(If a little thrashing was going to crush our spirits then it would have been all over in March)

Exactly, that thrashing will only serve to:

1. Wake them up to what finals football is all about. The shock of its speed and intensity has now been experienced.

2. Fire them up and make them angry, enough to take out the Roosters and possibly the Rabbits.

Having Melb v Riff play each other ( potentially ) and not in the GF, is enough encouragement for the boys to put that debacle on Fri night out of our heads, and do a number on the Roosters. Then we have a clear pathway to the GF..
