There must be changes

[joeboy]

Want better Robbo telling us how great Saab, Parker and suli were In The off season?

Saab can’t tackle, Parker can’t catch and suli has no heart, you couldn’t make a decent footballer from the pieces of all three.

Croker and Garrick can leave and never come back, I’ve been done with them foe well over a year.

Despite our atrocious players the coaching is the biggest issue, along with our marquee halfback having no imprint on any game out of four and Jake just looks spent, 4 rounds in.

The team is broken and des hasn’t got the ability anymore to hem anything together.

 

[Dion Johnson]

The club need to reach out for an exemption with Manase stood down, time to blood Birt off the bench with Cust starting.

3 x edge forwards down, Saddler could be made available.

Wont fix the issues but will give some younger blokes experience, our senior players are not delivering.

 

[malroon]

Saab is *, Parker is * croker is *, Garrick is *, too many ** players make the rest **, hence manly is ****

I know this , Saab is a car, Parker is a pen. Croker is a frog..............................

 

[peterh]

get rid of the following and bring up other players. cant do much worse

saab
garrick
parker
suli
croker

walker back to centre.

I'd stick with Saab though.
How hard is it coming into a side this bad and showing anything as a winger.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Really, Des just needs to man the **** up and take responsibility for these "performances". If he's waiting for the players to find something within themselves and "turn it around" themselves, he'll be waiting for a very, very long time. You'd expect a mad scientist (or Todd Rundgren) to come up with… Something/Anything? Instead, we get the same players dishing up the same **** week after week after week.

 

[eagleron]

I'm sure Des didn't want them to drop the ball and miss tackles
But Des is responsible for picking the same players that make those same errors week after week

It's Des's game plan, same shot four weeks in a row

 

[peterh]

Look Des needs to be sacked immediately (but obviously wont be)

The first question in the interview for a new coach should be who would you cull from the squad and the first one that says Parker, Croker & Garrick gets the job.

 

[Chunky]

I 100% agree I don’t understand Jakes role anymore? He definitely tried hard no denying that but I genuinely don’t know what his role is anymore.

He is Gallen 2.0.

 

[mave]

He is Gallen 2.0.

Worse.
He is Tolman 2.0

 

[susan]

Turbo back in hopefully
Walker to right centre
Suli has to go
Harper to left centre
Parker to right 2nd row
Funa for Saab
Cust to start. Don't we look a different team with Cust out there.
1. Turbo
2. Garrick
3. Harper
4. Walker
5.Funa
6. Foz
7. Chez
9. Cust
Parker right backrow to strengthen our pathetic defence on that side.

Wake up. ****ing Parker. Lol

What a ****ing joke
The worst centre in NRL history to backrow to fix the defence

We run near last this year for sure . You can do it blooding youngsters and learn or you can pick ****ing tenth graders like Parker etc
Wake up ffs

[Yaz Eagle]

We know Des won’t make a change. If they get an exemption for Saddler he will be on the bench. Team for next week if Turbo is back, IF:
1. Turbo
2. Saab (he will be picked again)
3. Walker
4. Harper/Parker
5. Garrick (he will be picked again)
6. Foran (getting better each game)
7. DCE
8. Aloai
9. Cust
10. Paseka
11. Jetski (Des will start him)
12. Schuster
13. Jurbo
14. Taupau (doesn’t show his mongrel since being told to look around)
15. Keppie
16. Sipley
17. Saddler (but we know Parker will be named)

Garrick and Jetski have zero impact in their runs, both get driven more than they make meters. Saab doesn't even want to be out there, no hunger to look for the ball what so ever.

 

[Technical Coach]

He is Gallen 2.0.

Jake has actually had a few nice go forward direct runs for a change this year, you can see he is trying to mix his passing game also to offer more subtle variation with direct runners off his hip.(it's been a nice positive to see)

In saying that Jake is still ineffective and is more like Manly's different version of Nathan Hindmarsh, can work hard and inspire the troops with effort but you never feel the impact is ever worth the money he is on.

There is a game plan ????

The money that DCE and T's are on is absurd. It's why we are in the ditch.

 

[Jigzkiller]

Add Marty also it's clear he doesn't want to be here.

 

[peterh]

The club is run by fools.
They panicked and overpaid DCE and then didn't learn from their mistakes with the T boys.

Tommy might one day be worth 1.1M a year but not now.
There's a strong chance he may never ever play a full season for anyone.

Jake was never worth $800 k a season.
Jake is a good player in a good side but he is never going to be a match winner/drag you up by your boot straps player in an poor/average side.
AFB was worth the $800k we paid Jake but sadly he didn't have a good looking brother who we wanted to put on posters and merchandising.
