Yes they are our future and star quality....but am I fair to say the teams efforts have taken its toll and made even these 2 Manly boys who bleed Maroon and White drop in effort??
Never thought it would happen, but it’s unfortunately at the point where even these 2 local heroes are dropping their intensity....

It's a massive worry. This could be the biggest indicator of all of how bad things really are at the club.
 
I remember the Williams Sisters that played for us in those heady days of 2011 & 2012.

Lets hope Turbo's dont sink as low as that pair.

They suck at the moment. It’s as simple as that.
Jake looks tired and lacklustre and tom at times looks like he has no idea, especially in defence.
 
Their current form is symptomatic of the current malaise in the team. The last two games especially the whole team was on the defensive from the first set. Tommy is not getting any service from our halves to do his thing and the efforts with the ball as a team have prevented much happening. Jake looks a bit punch drunk and is now looking fatigued due to the extra defence he and the team have had to do. The biggest failures of the team are the shocking ball control and total loss of the ruck, these are the priorities that need addressing moving forward, once we get a share of the ball and control the ruck, Tommy and Jake will be back to their best!!

I see it this way. I call it paralysis .....
I remember 2 years ago when Walker was 5/8 the team could not build cohesion and as a result the Sea eagles played like dogs chasing their tail and getting no where .
No Cohesion on the field is like having a "Turbo" v8 engine that is running out of tune on the road .
The players and coache have made their decision
My question is which is harder ?
To play with a competent 5/8 that you don't get on with that will help you win games "
or to play with a nice fellow playing in a key position who makes zero contribution and stalls a teams performance .
I have not seen a more incompetent 5/8 wear the Manly jumper than Croker . The concerning thing is that Croker is part of our spine and when you have a an incompetent 5/8 in a team then the spine is paralyzed .
