Post-Game Discussion Tigers v Manly [Round 8, 2023]

[Bloke on the hill]

Was like watching two teams trying to lose out there.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

We are officially second as well.

But we are imposters in being there

 

[pt73]

For cold dropping the ball on the kickoff set after Manly took the 2 to go ahead 14-6. Just inexcusable.

26 weeks with no discounts for pleading guilty ?

 

[NREagle]

Just looked at the stats. We had 42% possession, 69% completion rate, ran 500 metres less than the tigers and made 90 tackles more than the tigers (37 missed tackles too).

VERY lucky to get the two points.

 

[qldeagle]

How we are 2nd on the ladder beggars belief

 

[rj90]

All i can say is i spent $150 today for my young bloke and I to sit in the rain, so thank fark we at least got two points.

It certainly didnt look like we were going to fir a long while there

Agree mate! Got absolutely soaked, but glad to get away with the two points.

Good to see so many Manly fans too. I’d say a good 35-40% of the crowd were Manly supporters!

Hope your boy enjoyed the game!

We’re imposters

But we are imposters in being there

Maybe so @Mark from Brisbane Our consistency has been far from ideal. Thats pretty obvious. But we are still putting ourselves in a good position on the ladder leading into the SOO period.

There has been very little consistency shown by most other teams this season as well. If Seibold and co can find the keys to developing this (consistency) within our squad, we can go deep into the finals. If not we can still finish bottom four. Tonight, I will take the win and second place on the ladder. Go Manly.

But we are imposters in being there

1/2 full or 1/2 empty? Nice to be in 2nd when we haven't played to our potential. If we make the finals with a fit Tom and Schu, our opponents will be more than a little concerned.

 

[weagle]

It's that sort of season. On the upside, we've beaten the Eels & Storm. Our defence hasn't been great, but it is no worse than most other teams - except for the Panthers who are a standout. My concern so far has been our clunky attack. At least we had the ability to score a try when it was needed at the backend of today's game.

Yep clunky attack has been my concern too. Clinical attack and scoreboard pressure on the opposition tends to help defence too. Who knows if it was clunky again today we didn't get a chance to do any.... The ease with which we created a gaping hole and put guac through for our second a couple more sets on their line would have been nice

 

[Disco]

We are better when Paseka is on the field.

Which is a strange turn of events

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Frustrating game to watch.

They seemed to finally perk up & become proactive again when Turbo came off.

I wonder if the general malaise & lethargy started with Tom & spread through the team?

Someone needs to slap the hangdog look out of him. Hard.😉

 

[double hoops]

That Lazy dumb mindset of this team on display again. Sure take the 2 points and move on. BUT

For all this talk. This team just never learns. Is the difference between our best and worst games decreasing? I don't see it.

Do we still have a 34 year old half back that can't manage a game, especially when his team just needs organisation and we'll set up kick on the last. Repeat sets and creating pressure.

It's a 34 year old halfback that has not once played wet weather footy in the wet. No coach has had the balls to drop him. And so he seriously he's never seriously learned.

Take the 2 and move on. But remember, if you do nothing else. That rubbish dished up today, will just continue.

My friend told me today, no good comes of playing the tigers.
If you win you get two points as expected but if you lose...if you lose its bad ju ju

Happy to come away with the 2. We did not start that game in the right mindset. Our forwards were not desperate and committed to win the forward battle from the beginning. There was no intention to ignore who we were playing and just get into the grind and do all the basic stuff to lay a platform. We really seemed quite complacent and content to win it with short cuts and trick shots. This was my observation even after being up 12-0. Lucky we were playing the Tigers because there aren’t too many teams where we would get away with that today.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

1/2 full or 1/2 empty? Nice to be in 2nd when we haven't played to our potential. If we make the finals with a fit Tom and Schu, our opponents will be more than a little concerned.

Half empty tonight , but I’ll be right by tomorrow

Just keep emptying them, Mark. 😉😂

Have to disagree somewhat. We are not playing our best footy and will definitely have to improve BUT in recent years we lose to Melbourne and a game like today.

We are slowly getting better at defending for longer periods of time when we are under pressure and finding a way to get through and play tough for the full 80mins. We had zero ball in that second half or field position and were playing a desperate tigers outfit in slippery conditions and even though we played poor in parts, we managed to regain the lead when they had all the momentum and get the two points

Lucky I didn’t put my blood pressure monitor on, wife would have turned off the TV.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 mine wanted to put on me during the game
