Post-Game Discussion Souths v Manly [Round 4, 2023]

[mickqld]

Fmd this is a real south’s gush on fox…

Yeah because it's scripted every time we play that vermin and especially so this time. So blatantly obvious.

 

[blacktown eagle]

I said earlier. Right there… our taking short cuts and not addressing dummy half bit us in the a$$ tonight

And hopefully, those saying Weekes should be dummy half moving forward can realistically re-assess.

Definitely.

Service out of dummyhalf has been piss poor for a couple Of seasons. I see the merit in kaeo training there in the off-season and I think with some passing practice he could grow into the role. But it’s only one offseason. He should be given time - but I still think we definitely need a specialist.

Tough loss, dubious calls, rabbits scripted to win. I’ll take the one point loss to learn from our mistakes. Defence was good tonight at times. Better than last week so happy in that regard.

 

[JBW]

Just have your vomit bags ready folks because the media is going to make us sick with how amazing Souths are.

The refereeing was god awful but I’m gonna say it. Cherry-Evans was terrible and absent on the many chances we had on their line. At least Schuster could kick into the in goal and create opportunities as we saw with Haumole’s try. Ignoring his intercept try we looked lost and should’ve been up by multiple tries if not for his garbage organisation. All well and good showing up for games at home against the Dogs and Eels but he was **** tonight, no doubting it

DCE did the kick for Haumole try.

 

[HK_Eagle]

And as we should expect, nothing but South’s player interviews and blowing smoke up their a$$ in the media coverage

I can’t blame anyone. They all had a good game. We beat ourselves. Should have put them away sooner.

Both teams will be up there at the end of the year.

 

[NREagle]

How much better is it watching this year compared to last! I get that some posters in here get frustrated in the heat of the battle but I'm seeing a team that genuinely gives a **** about how they play and don't like to lose.

Gone is the apathy that was everywhere in the second part of last year.

I think Seibold's "Manly mentality" is working.

Excited to see how the next month or so unfolds.

 

[bob dylan]

So, how many years are we going to self-delude abt the importance of a quality dummy half? We are talking YEARS. Seriously? YEARS.

We should of thrown everything at Verrills, maybe we could of swapped a couple promising forwards for him.

Back luck for him he is injured now but the Titans still have decent options.

 

[blacktown eagle]

Games be done for 20 minutes, swear fox has interviewed the entirety of the rabbitohs roster and now we’re flys on the wall in their change room.

 

[HK_Eagle]

We have one, he's just not in the top 30 for some ridiculous reason.

Honestly the Dragons can keep woods, just give GCKT Tuitavake's spot.

Disagree. I will take Sharon and his passionate love for our club over Josh the grandstanding a$$hole, who fails to deliver more often than not.

 

[Captain Moondog]

I can’t blame anyone. They all had a good game. We beat ourselves. Should have put them away sooner.

I didn't notice any personal flagellation in there Danny-Boy. I think we were ****ed over.... our legitimate try in the first half being denied gave me a clue.........Danny-boy makes me think you may be Irish so obviously you're opinion carries weight.

Ffs I’ve not heard anything about Manly since the whistle blew!!!!

 

[blacktown eagle]

Their team song sucks. Never get to see ours after our game on fox 😭

 

[krusty]

A Des Hasler press conference would now be a rant about the non forward pass try and the non penalty. Let’s see how the new coach reacts.

It’s sad in some ways, but yes, even Verrills would have moved us forward in this area.

 

[XV-1]

It wasn't a great pass, should have been on the chest not next to his torso, but he also should have caught it.

You do realise that the #1 job of a dummy half is to pass the ball into the bread basket of players.
Aloiai was running full speed, he was never going to catch it.

Weekes is not a dummy half, so not zure why the coach took Lawton off for extra time.

 

[HK_Eagle]

And PS, Lawton was crap tonight.

 

[HoldenV8]

Clearly not the game you were watching. U pissed??
Running full pace and given this pass.

I accept your apology

None will be forthcoming. He had every right to catch that.

Then perhaps he shouldn’t be playing at this elite level if he is unable to adopt to a pass thrown slightly high and wide..
