Post-Game Discussion Sharks v Manly [Round 20, 2021]

[Will on the hill]

Not good enough... yet. Playing a style that has potential to disrupt the Storm. If we can throw it around like that and complete at 85%+, something something eyeballs.

Chambers saying that **** to walker just confirms what i already thought of him

Mixed night. Establishes Sea Eagles as firm underdogs v. Storm on Saturday night. That's the way we like.

 

[bob dylan]

Some great cutting tackles, but a bit in limbo in attack. He was getting in the way again at the wrong end of the field while we were attacking in the first half, though he did have a few good runs where he just ran hard. He just seems a bit lost at the moment in terms of his role in attack

I just noticed we went off, hoping he wasnt hurt.

His game was fine by me, especially that defence.

 

[47MVEagle]

Our middle defence disappeared when Jake & Croker went off.

All mouth with nothing to back it up.

Yesterday’s hero.

 

[Eagles4Life]

That last 15 was abysmal.

We obviously switched right off, and fair enough too, I suppose.

A few things are obvious though, to put a rest to all the bull**** talk.

Walker is terrible defensively, and it's clear why Des is not playing him in his preferred position.

Siro can play middle, and should only play middle, looked gassed though, which I guess is understandable.

I'm a big fan of Lawton, but Croker has him covered easily at 9.

Agree on all points. Walker cannot be given another go at centre. His defence is woeful. Croker is one of our most consistent players. Siro doesn't have many more chances to impress. We won't compete well against the scum next week, based on that effort. Sutton was far from helpful for us tonight.

Did you see him keep walking when Olakau'atu gave him a server after Tommy's try?

Yes walked away like the mouthy cat he is.

 

[SeaEagle21]

Taniela missing next week is a massive blow...need all the power in the engine room against the storm

 

[Dan]

It is

So why are they talking suspension and why was he binned. Very confusing

 

[mjb136]

I was not impressed with the final 10 minutes. That was embarrassing to see.

Surely it’s a fine.

 

[pt73]

It is

According to Fox it’s not, hope they’re wrong.

 

[Kalvin]

I know the commentary saying chambers was having a running battle with walker but on closer inspection I thought it was also and mainly Harper in the end?

 

[eagleron]

Yep and never passed and stifled the attack every time

Memories.....

Request @Dan :

Can we pull the Post Game Threads please and.just let the game day thread peta out.

It disrupts conversations, it confuses conversations, the timings not great (within an hour of the game).

Just for flow and continuity, are we able to abolish these post game threads, and just leave the GDT's unlocked ?

 

[pt73]

Maybe I’m wrong but I thought they were other players who only got fines for tripping after the NRL changed the rule.

I understand Walker’s preferred defensive position is on the sideline. Either upright in a chair or in a defensive ball, seeking therapy.

On a positive note, the Phantom and the Laplander spend a lot of time on the sideline.
