HappilyManly said:I thought that Killer and Foz would win it with tactics, so loss of forward power would be offset.
They didn't :s
Smart kicks would have saved energy. The 9 offloads that they gave the Broncos was pathetic
New rule, we are night people in Bris Vegas - always lose when our shadows land on Suncorp
Wonder if Choc chewed of his bad arm in frustration yet

What was your reasoning for that?
Just curious.
I honestly didn't see it. I didn't expect this flogging from Brisbane, but I had them as favourites for sure up there.

Very ordinary effort, but so is is starting a thread to gloat about it mate.
A few thought we'd win; a few thought we'd lose; a lot just had a calculated guess as always.
I know ppl need to vent and constructive criticism is always welcome...
The biggest problem for Manly today was their attitude (plenty of possible reasons why)...And that's the same slight issue I have with your thread champ.

They are pro athletes mate. There is zero reason for bad attitude, and I do blame that on Toovey.
He needs to take charge. These piss weak, heartless performances haven't been around for many years, but they are coming back with worrisome consistency under this current clutch of coaches and players.
We signed that Wests Coach didn't we? Our forwards are back to being as bad as they were when Roach coached them here.
NYEagle said:I saw three things today.
(1) Poor service to both wings, particularly the left side. LittleJohn has run out of fuel from the back of the 40-20 against Canberra.
Ballin tried hard, and Stewe chimed in, but it was that pass after Ballin that had no impact whatsoever.
Need Cherry and G. Stewart back
(2) While Lui and Lafeo are both dynamic physically, they don't play with aggression like the Watmoughs, G. Stewarts, and Kingies of the world do. T-Red has just been plain ordinary. He should have been out there busting it when he came on - not good enough.
T-Red if you want game time, act like you want it.
(3) Conservative play. Too much safety first in the second half. The team is down by 20, take some risks. Hiku very one dimensional. What's up with him?.
I also found Copley, Khunt and Jack Reed a pain in the neck all game. They are not great players, but are very good and will kill you if you give them space and possession which they seemed to have an abundance of, and that's attitude only to blame.
Manly better be careful. If they bust against the dogs Friday the season can go south fast. Watmough and Matai better put these rumours to bed and get on with this season. While it's sad that people like Rothcrap are anti-Manly, rumours like this need to be squashed fast.
Just my opinion.
