Game Day: Sharks v Manly [Round 7, 2022]

[HoldenV8]

He’s got a pretty good defence. I haven’t seen Harper anywhere near him all night.

I'd laugh at that if it wasn't so funny.....

 

[Chunkytuna]

One of the worst 40 minutes very by a manly team.

That's embarrassing and feel dirty supporting us tonight.

32-0 wow.

No pride in that jumper tonight at all.

The jumper is ****. It’s an insult to Anzac Day?? Has no relevance at all.

 

[Woodsie]

Careful what you wish for .. Koula up against Talabeastie may not be what you imagine

 

[Jerry1]

Anyone reckon the sin bin was justified..

 

[Simonmyers11]

Talaki is playing very well and would be hard to stop but geez at least have a crack and put your body on the line Saab looked at him and ran away
Koula has to come on the 2nd half surely

We are making him look better than he is.

Compressed defence is not working, leaving an over lap out wide.

Problem is, we are sliding backwards!! First movement by harper is backwards! Saab then follows him backwards

 

[The '47ers]

I'm out, ****ing dead**** loser team

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Talakai may not be out for second half. Bad scratching down lower legs.

 

[frank stokes]

I know we are missing players and the momentum has stripped our energy... but...

Some of these 'breaks' look like an U8s game... we have some real structural issues in defence.... we are getting stripped down the right hand side, blokes are missing one-on-one tackles and, even when we get 3 blokes in a tackle, we cannot seem to shut the ball down... and then you have some howler ref calls against us just for extra fun....

 

[bob dylan]

The really good thing is there wont be a team in NRL not watching this.

I can't see Harper or Saab playing much first grade again.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Careful what you wish for .. Koula up against Talabeastie may not be what you imagine

To be honest I think it would be the same

 

[joeboy]

I have never turned off the footy before and I’m about as close as it gets.

Harper has to go he can take his lanky mate with him they are both timid cats. Harper didn’t even try and make amends by making some touch runs.

Our coach and captain should be called to question to. We look unfit, without desire, I’ll-disciplined and bereft of composure and structure. Cherry dropping the
Kick off was amateur hour.

Dreadful tripe. No defending it and if people try they are kidding themselves

 

[MadMarcus]

Is that 50 points just in the second half or 50 points overall ??

50 points for Talakai in the second half.

 

[davohan123]

Agree. It is a shi!t performance. Humiliation at its worst. Not sure is purely on Dessie though.

He did decide the defensive structure tonight.

I agree not solely on des but he should of hooked Harper after 10 minutes.

Yes would seen strange but needed to happen.

No even to try to fight back at all just gave up.

No pride in that jumper

Going forward this result could be seen as a good thing - so Harper and Parker can never be selected again !!!!!
So Des up to you now !!!

Parker hasn’t been too bad. Compared with Harper he’s a genius.

 

[Pete W]

Honestly think Des has been slowly going senile over the last few years. Really hope not, cause I love that man. He is a shadow of the coach he once was. Baffling.

The Manly jersey used to mean something. Even in bad periods, we took pride in toughness and defence. I'm so sick of this lot, it's exhausting.

 

[Damien2812]

The Harper and Saab edge won't get us anywhere against the top teams. It's time to drop both since both can't tackle and struggle on hitups. I've finally changed the channel for the 1st time this season and won't watch anymore of this game.

 

[HoldenV8]

Are you trying to say you don’t like Harper?

Best mates. Just a bit of tough love lol

 

[Simonmyers11]

Without Aloiai and Tapau these are PowderPuff girls in comparison.

Gee it’s lucky you can only lose a game once.

NYEagle

I find not controlling the ruck with these two missing, and then we are compensating putting more players around the ruck, causing overlap out wide, to go with edge defence sliding backwards

 

[Fibro Eagle]

We are making him look better than he is.

You can see they just get back on there heels and wait it’s a bit of a problem for while now against the good teams

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

50 points for Talakai in the second half.

Don’t laugh , that’s possible.

Well maybe not but I reckon he’ll score another 2-3
