Game Day: Parramatta v Manly [Round 25, 2019]

[HK_Eagle]

Yep, Elliot and Garrick have been poor. Api seems to already be out the door... but. The biggest disappointment is DCE. We lose Tom and Joel, and need DCE to stand up as leader like never before. And like so many times before, he comes up empty. In fact, not only was he invisible as a leader, he had a shocking game.

Garrick
I know sivo is a tank but fmd 3 times.

Worst call of the year was playing Garrick at fb and Elliot on the wing. That’s on Des!

 

[nightster]

Atleast 2 of their tries had forwards in tehm tonight its ok its only against us so no harm done

We can't blame the refs for that loss .... we were ****e

 

[The Royal Soup]

So next week there will be

No Marty

No Siro

No Fanu

No Parker HIA

 

[bob dylan]

Oh well, we play Broncs next week so expect a Friday game

And a 20 point loss.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Yes the Dalai now gets coach of the year and Des becomes an also ran, along with the team.

What an utterly disappointing end to a season.

 

[Ralphie]

We are cooked, stick a fork in us, we’re done for 2019.

 

[bob dylan]

There goes Des’s coach of the year award

Arthur was always gonna get it anyway.

 

[Jerry1]

Was always going to be big ask with the ref's, commentators & the world against us.

Some shocking calls against us tonight.

 

[joeboy]

What a limp ending to a great season.

Lots of players who don’t deserve perseverance.

We had a Sunday at Brooklyn game there for the taking. We play much better at daytime and now we get a night game against the broncos.

Disgusting performance. The refs were terrible sure, but that loss was completely on us.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

If I don't get a root from the missus I'm going to have the worst weekend..

 

[Pepi]

Can’t believe we have another 4 years of DCE.

 

[HoldenV8]

Worst call of the year was playing Garrick at fb and Elliot on the wing. That’s on Des!

I think Des got a bit too cute tonight.

Elliot should have played fullback and Waddell should have started in the back row with AFB at prop and Paseka on the bench. It completely threw our combinations for a loop.

I would not be starting Api next week. In fact, I'd be tempted to not play him at all and have Croker on the bench.

 

[Cioran]

Makes bugga all difference. Means we are in the Storm side of the draw rather than the Roosters side of the draw. The NRL aren’t going to bother buying maroon or blue confetti this year. It’s been a great building year with good prospects for a real shot at the flag in 20 or 21.

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

Professional game, less than amateur officials.

Wrong, they are extremely professional officials, delivering the right results far more often than not. My apologies for pointing it out.

 

[davohan123]

Pathetic effort and such a shame to see our season fall away like that.

For such a long seaaon to see how it ended is so gut wrenching.

We have no chance next week wont be watching or attending that.

 

[Moops]

Whover comes 7th will be doing handstands. They will flog us

Without Tommy, we resemble the Australian cricket team without Steve Smith.

 

[susan]

I maybe imagining things but at this stage Marty Thommo Paseka look like missing plus Sirro Fainu Boyle JetSki maybe gone

There is a serious question about us fielding a pack
And guess who we play. An ordinary team with the biggest most athletic pack in the comp

 

[Cioran]

Can’t believe we have another 4 years of DCE.

Hard to see him getting any better at directing play. Our only hope is to recruit a play maker and let DCE just run and step. He’s good for a drop goal in extra time though.

 

[HoldenV8]

Without Tommy, we resemble the Australian cricket team without Steve Smith.

Its Manly losing Snake to injury all over again.
