Post-Game Discussion Souths V Manly [Round 16, 2024]

[eaglebuzz]

Humphreys should have played that match. We had a real chance of winning if we had another half playing.

 

[bob dylan]

Why are Cronk, Mal and Brandy absolutely giving it to us? Did they not read the team sheet? A winger playing 6 and a patched up pack?

What were these idiots expecting from us tonight?

Against a team with 6 origin hopefuls.

Count them, Walker, Cook, Koolamungi, Wighton, Arrow and AJ.

 

[Ned]

Condon worthless, worse than that, a liability really

 

[Dan]

I'd love that !!!! Fark yeah, bring the kids to join us, I'll get Ethan away from his PC if I can pry him away from the damned thing

Haha I'm calling having a 2 year old so you come here, there's a park a 3 minute walk down the road

 

[HK_Eagle]

I feel gutted. Started this season with so much optimism. I thought we may finally turn the corner after a decade of mediocrity. I was so wrong. Turbo’s farrkking hamstrings and Shoe’s KFC fetish has killed us again.

No worries mate , I'll buzz ya during the week ! Be good to catch up

I dunno man, but Dessie just seems .....younger.....or at least more put together when he's coaching other teams ! Do we age the poor bastard ? Hahaha

Funny isn't it. I think less pressure up here. My kids do trampoline classes at the club where the Titans are based. I walk past Fafita, foran and the boys often just hanging about. The Titans do spa sessions next to old ladies doing Aqua aerobics. It's a very strange place.

 

[Rackets]

I'm not saying Humphries was the answer tonight, but geez it would've given everyone an idea or glimpse whether he is our future half to DCE.

Seobold is the problem. Obviously Des needed to go in the end but seibols lack of anything is just so disappointing.

And this place used to go on about Des playing safe. Seibs is even worse I think.

It was a free shot tonight. If you were ever going to check him out, tonight was the game. He must not be in future contention, I assume

 

[Bomb Voyage]

Expected very little but still bitterly disappointed

 

[Dan]

Talau was playing 7

Let's be honest mate, no one was ****ing playing there

Yeah, Sydney is very fast paced at everything in life mate, people pulling each other in every different type of direction.

I'm in process of looking for a change of state myself. Time for this old fella to slow down.

I couldn't imagine how hard it would be for someone like an NRL coach, but I watched a thingy on the dude from Cowboys (head coach) the other day, and he said their losing streak was the worst time of his life , even off the field.

I still don't think the coach , players or owners are the problem at Manly, mate. Is that weird ?

Lehi H would still be bringing tubs of oranges to Flegg if Dessie was coach.

 

[Oligarch]

To carry on my thoughts - have you noticed not a single commentator of any stripe questions why we have our best players missing voluntarily mid seasons when injuries are statistically at there highest? Let’s not pluck the golden goose. Joke.

 

[Eagles4Life]

13 players were out, and 3 players made their debuts. Waddell and Sipley both played despite being injured. However, Seibold's tactics and Brooks' execution were beyond disappointing. We basically played with a single half and single ball-playing middle. I cannot fathom what role Seibold had in mind for Lawton. Very disappointing game.

 

[Waz13]

What was the point of having Lawton in at 7, did he even pass a ball. No disrespect to Lawton but he isn't even the shoelaces of a half-backs training boots

He didn’t play 7. Played backrow. Talau right and brooks left. No real “7” so to speak.

Perhaps but in the 4 seasons Des was back we made a semi final and a preliminary did we not. All with a side Barrett failed with. Still waiting for the seibold magic to pop out of a hat and prove he's the man.

 

[redlineg]

Brooks may have over 200 first grade games to his credit, but running the team has never been his strong point. Doing that is out of his comfort zone. He's a running 5/8, not really a first choice kicker and definitely not an organizer.

Precisely why a head coach should come up with a game plan that works with the players at his disposal
I reckon Seibs has throw. Brooks under a bus with the one dimensional bomb on the last plan
Would have been good to see other options
