Things we know.......

[KaZa]

1) We need Brett Stewart.. and hes back next week
2) Neumann is rubbish and should never play again in the NRL let alone Manly
3) Hall King Choc and G Stewart Perry and Kite.. wake up to yourselves.. soft.
4) Ballin v Le Strange - game time is not even...can anyone get the stats on how many points we score when either is the hooker.. im willing to bet its lobsided to when Le Strange is on. Ballin stalls the attacks.
5) Lyon MUST stay at 5/8. I wasnt his biggest fan when he moved to 5/8 as i wanted him at centre.. but i think as much as id love him at centre.. he takes the pressure off Orford.. and Orford plays better with more help and Bailey doesnt offer this.
6) Time to drop players.. and promote others.. from the under 21s. 4 straight losses and looking like S**t is enough time to change it up.
7) Fitness levels look shocking.. we seem to start well and the last 20 min of each half we make errors give penalties and miss alot of tackles...

Matai Prob gone next week as well

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Des wil announce the same side and it will be "Tigers by 50".

 

[Garts]

Agree with most of these points.  However Neumann might be short of NRL standard but with the injuries which we have we really have limited choices.  I can not think of anyone else who should be called up, can you?

Did Wolfman get through the game ok ?

Yes. Anyone else.

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

1. Snake, 2. Bani, 3. Matai, 4. Wolfman, 5. Robbo, 6. Killer.

Not sure what to do with Bailey, but I can't see Manly's attack firing while he is at 6.

I also agree on the fitness thing. We're not having the same impact with our hit-ups. Last year we'd carry defences back 2 or 3 metres every hit-up, bend the line as they say, we aren't doing that now. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me because really, we're normally the fittest team in the comp, right? Very unusual.

The easiest thing to fix at the moment is penalties. Stop giving them away boys. They're absolutely killing us.

Return of the Snake, Sunday arvo footy at Brookie. Unless there is a f*cking thunderstorm, then anything less than 15k and Manly fans should feel ashamed.

Im serious. Anyone else. Whos killing in Toyota Cup.. i dont care if their young.. because this guy is useless. Im sure with Brett back.. he can go back to the sunshine coast. D Williams in the centres.. apparantly T Williams is back next week.

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

I know he is not the greatest but I am not aware of anyone who is killing it in the 20's who should be called up.  I would like to think I am wrong but I dount Des would not leave someone better there.  Remember the 20's side was not that flash last year.

I'm not sure you should be commenting on their sexual performances it's bad to kiss and tell.

Well they are playing like a bunch of gaylords.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

LOL so we bring in another young bloke, give him 2 games, and then he gets tagged as **** and should never play NRL again blah blah blah

No point bringing someone in just for the sake of it. Tony Williams replacing Neumann would be fine, haven't seen enough of anyone else to say for sure they would be a better option than Neumann
