Rant/ Just skip to the player(s) your interested in.
I cannot fathom how in 4 full grades (consisting now of 11 games) from SG Ball up, our club is 0 wins, 11 losses to start the season. That has to be a record doesn't it?
Trent Barrett: Stop with the retarded team selections. You have no-one to blame but your own idiocy as these losses pile up. You want to give Green 5 minutes of game time, yet have Mateo playing NSW Cup? If there is an ulterior motive in wanting him to quit the damned club, just say so. How the HELL can a bonafide coach select Green, Brown, Wiliame when clearly more proven, more superior options are available?
Nate Myles: **** me dead - what a plodder. He makes Jason King look like Usain Bolt. If he is here to teach the other forwards, no wonder we are getting smashed up the middle each week. I've never seen a more immobile forward in all my days. I honestly think we may as well have asked Ben Kennedy to return and he'd probably still make more impact.
Brayden Wiliame and Jorge Taufua: I'll lump them together, because they are as bad as each other. They struggle to defend any form of attack. Unfortunately, Lyon and Matai's lack of pace doesn't help (and they are also really disappointing me - especially Lyon). Wiliame is now 12 games, 12 losses, but you keep selecting him Barrett. He offered nothing in attack AND defense. Taufua is deplorable this season (another shoulder Jorge? That was the excuse for poor form last time).
Api Koroisou - There's a reason he wasn't bought back on. The bloke is an absolute farce at dummy half. Not sure how Myles had the audacity to have a go at Api about his poor pass on the line (as Myles attack is so pathetic, it's embarrassing), but boy, what a joke.
Nathan Green - Comes on in the last few. Drops a few balls. We make a break, he panics, and stops dead stop. What the **** man? This is first grade. If your afraid to catch AND run, go play tennis. What a dead set joke.
Lewis Brown: Drop ball, drop ball, give away a penalty, fall off a tackle, lay on the play the ball, do something decent - rinse, repeat. I mean come ON. Your playing for Manly now, not some half arsed Panthers or Warriors outfit. Very un-Manly like.
Vave:- Honestly, the reason other forward packs are destroying us, is because once they make impact, they drive. We don't. This plodder stops, turns his back to the opposition, and stands there while the opposition defense gets set. Another plodder, only slightly better than Nate Myles.
Daly Cherry-Evans: How the **** is he the highest paid player in the game. Two almost rookies tore him apart tonight, and a new halves pairing tore him apart last week. How are we paying his ridiculous asking price, when he is playing not even average halfback football? I expected plenty more, and he has completely underwhelmed - horrible to finish last season. Even worse this season. I'd have every half back we've played against over him so far.
Dylan Walker: Sounds terrible, but we need a 5/8. Get rid of one of the centres (Lyon - play him at 5/8). We are lacking speed, especially out wide. Need someone to cover Taufua's and Wiliame's screw ups.
Now, on the flipside, I can't just rip, and not counter.
Jake & Tom Trbojevic: Still getting better (if that's possible). While we were struggling last year, these boys were a highlight. They are again this season.
Matt Parcell:- Looks great. So young, and so much improvement in him. Still think he has to play 80 minutes, but Barrett will continue to play his Penrith & Dragons favorites.
Marty Taupau: HEAPS better this week, by a mile ! Good move putting him out wider. Credit where credit is due - Barrett's not a complete basket case, yet.
Brenton Lawrence: Honestly, I don't remember him being this good. If we got that week in, week out, Jesus Christ we are on a good thing. What a player.
