Post-Game Discussion Roosters v Manly [Round 2, 2022]

Turbo looked so lost tonight.

Man tonight's bad enough if we lose to the dogs next Sunday night wow this forum will crash.

It’s not a bad option but who would you play at 7 ?

I'd love to see a tough old school mongrel there who's going to pick a team up by the scruff of the neck and lead them AND maintain composure when things don't go our way. ... ala Terry Lamb. Sigh... if only there was somebody out there

I don't think so, Dogs are a decent team this season. I just think the unicorns and balloons group may start actually face some realities.

We'll have a good win against the Dogs.

Attack was so disjointed, we were camped on their line and came up with only 1 try. Full strength so a bit concerning as that 1st half we were blown away with no answers.

Onto next week

It was almost Barrettesque

 

[Fibro Eagle]

At least some spirit shown in the second half and some good strong tackles.

Much better with walker and Lawton out there. Davey good too.

I think the halves are too old and have to go, sorry to say it but that was not good enough. Manly needs a Doug Daley or Biscuits to come in and say no more contract extensions for Foran and Dce. A tough and unpopular decision but this should be their last year, and don’t be afraid to drop them once Humphreys is ready, and schuster is back on deck.

Harper not good enough either. Some time in reserve grade will help him.

Paseks fired up and went ok, but those errors fmd.

It’s happened in the past with Fatty and Kite and Menzies even Fulton left

I think the highlight for me was the 3rd tackle runs from Olakau'atu. Lowlight again the lack of performance from Marty, Harper, Croker, Garrick, and DCE gets a special for his game management, panic plays, poor kick options, and high risk passing from one of the ruck.

yeah you can’t knock Foz’s effort but everything is in slow motion. Schu to 6 when he comes back from injury.

It was almost Barrettesque

I got a text in that fashion during the game. They wrote:

"Feels like Barrett is coaching".

I should totally dob them in, you all know who it is ! hahaha

 

[Supreme Leader]

Might need more than 1 after sitting through that:-(

I think the club should reimburse us for our streaming cost. I wonder how many people will turn up next weeks after that performance.

 

[Ryan]

We'll have a good win against the Dogs.

Dogs 12+

It appears that way , I hate to say but scam smith was that type of player Manly need that kind of player to win a comp with the current mob there best is a top 8 spot at the moment

 

[cc eagle]

DCE to the Dolphins anyone ??

A bit harsh Ryan but I feel your pain

 

[wombatgc]

I'm going to the bar for a drink, who want's one?

I’ve been off the drink for 6 months, maybe it’s time to get back on it. 😡

 

[simon64]

That was worse than round one and by some margin too.

We seem like we are making it up as we go along. And the Pennies and Rooters both dominated us from the word go.

I won't say we looked better in the second half tonight. The ref basically made sure the Rooters never saw the ball and even with that weight of possession, we produced next to nothing. We produced a George Peponis try and that's it. I was waiting for Kline to order the Rooters not to tackle so we could have a turn too.

Just embarrassing. Plain and simple.

 

[DaveLP]

Like I said our spines really weak compared to the top 5 teams...except turbo but even turbo is made out to be a pedestrian out there with our lack of attack especially from DCE and foz. Cannot wait for schuster to come back and show these old timers how to free turbo up like he did last year...

 

[Supreme Leader]

Just a question.... where is Bozo with his great quotes, we could all do with something really positive as long as he doesn't want to get more memberships?

We will beat the doggies mate. Don’t worry about that.
