The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

[Ryan]

we are 11th and exactly where we should be

Jen I think the ladder is doing is favours tbh. This roster is aged, slow, lacking, injury prone, soft and has a losing culture ingrained.

And it's not their fault either - they are who they are, and every roster can carry a few of those types. But we've built with far too many of the same types of plods.

Brown spoke well...

Ran his mouth off the back fence

I love Manly, I’m proud of my club and thought the team put in a good effort tonight. There’s a reason we were rank outsiders. I didn’t think we were much of chance all week due to injury, suspension and Origin, so why would I suddenly be angry and disappointed when the game arguably went better than I expected?

 

[mickqld]

If he goes to a team like The Panthers to replace Luai , it'll be worse than Gutherson, JWH and everyone else.

For the second week in a row , Humphreys tore it up in lower grades too.

Because this club is now in the basketcase doldrums run by a bunch of clueless cu*ts who think that their politically correct drivel is all that matters in this woke vanilla bland age.

Who the fuk puts a winger at #6. Fuk me what is the point of having 2nd grade team to have players ready to fill positions. Seibold is a fuking clueless gorm.

Didn’t Matt geyer win a GF playing 6 and he was a winger.

I’m not disputing your point re Talau. This just came to me when I read your post. Might be wrong in that tho.

He's the typical textbook coach. Trained how to give feedback based on how not to upset people.

We need more Investigations, doors ripped of change rooms, Cement trucks running over refs....we need that Manly passion back!

It's called toxic positivity mate, and most of the fanbase have accepted, promote and celebrate it now.

I was told this week by a numpty here, celebrating and being happy after a loss "is where it's at".

So I've basically given up now. No-one seems to care anymore. There were some in the GameDay thread talking about how proud they were and how everyone else should be too.

People's standards are in their arses these days. Sorry.

I don’t think anyone was “ proud “ rather there was the expectations ( for good reason ) that we would lose, and personally I felt that given the players we had there was never a chance we would win ( and we didn’t ).

But , whilst South’s had a couple out they were largely intact and our bits a pieces side held them to 8-0 until the last few minutes and whilst we were terribly clunky they never gave up trying.

There were a few highlights , I thought Schoupp did ok , Navale I thought did really well and Simpkins looks to be a keeper.

If that’s being “ proud “ then I’m guilty as charged.

Our recruitment and retention are currently scouring the NRL for an ageing, injury prone player currently on the outer with one of the bottom three clubs as DCE's understudy !!

Hahahaha.

Talau was a very good 6 coming through the juniors. I think he may have even made rep teams in that position. I don't think he was the pick for 5/8 tonight, but he's not new to the position.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Pretty clear Humphrey's is not in consideration.

Which is odd, given comments early in the season/pre season.

Why was he named on the extended bench then?

Perhaps the coach didn’t want to throw him to the wolves, against players like ‘Phantom’ Walker and Jack Wighton.

Hahahaha.

Adam Doueihi just re-signed with the Tigpies, from memory.

I don’t think many contributors on this site thought Manly were going to win judging by the percentage of people that tipped the Vermin.

Mate I'm so sick of the one week heros next week chumps sh*t that we get served up repeatedly. When is this club going to get it's sh*t together and get professional

Perhaps the coach didn’t want to throw him to the wolves, against players like ‘Phantom’ Walker and Jack Blackon.

When would he ever be played then if not tonight? It was the perfect opportunity with nothing to lose, IMO… IF we are actually genuine about seeing him as a FG future option.

 

[DanielLehi888]

I am really proud of the effort with half of our team out of action. If the roles were reversed we would have beaten the Rabbits by quite a bit more.

Nearly $3 outsiders come kickoff. There’s a reason for that.

I wouldn’t say that there is any lack of passion in the coaching staff.

Poor behaviour is not an excuse for passion.

If we were ever going to play him, tonight was the night, at least at #14.

I'm confused why we didn't, and my most logical answer is that the coach and his staff clearly don't rate him.

They are clearly not shy in handing out debuts, unlike our previous coach.

Each to their own matw, you're entitled to feel that way. I personally don't understand it, because there's no prizes for second in a game of rugby league. Participation awards tend to disappear after primary school.

A decade of averaging bordering 11th. Ooof.

Anyways, I wish I felt like you do after losses. Like I said, some guy said this week, being happy after we keep losing is where it's at. Pretty sure you even liked his post.

So that zest and spark is disappearing. Just seems no-one cares anymore, and apathy to losing is the only way now (or your labelled negative, and the reason people avoid the site). Best to just say nothing, grin and have a laugh as we slump again to winning less than half our games.

I prefer to lose a low scoring game than get 40-50 put on us. How many other clubs in the game win that tonight with so many injured, suspended or on rep duty?

The Preference Perspective
We should never have any preference for loses
No loss big or small rewards you with 2 points
We can keep losing by low scores all year and that wont help us make the finals

Every game is Winnable and Every team goes out to win every game inspired by every winnable team selection and every winnable game plan
No game is impossible to win especially when you play teams that are not world beaters like Souths

The Impossible is Possible and it has been done and this is the Benchmark of Greatness
