We are embarrassing - winning the comps is years away.

[Raffa]

How we lost that is beyond me. We concede a ridiculous amount of metres in defence and get very complacent whenever we are in the lead.

The comp is years away - we don’t have the discipline and the intensity to win.

 

[The Royal Soup]

yep, utter embarrassment once again , total **** **** and no pride in the jersey at all

Starts at the captain and his inability read the situation and play to the conditions.No game awareness

 

[SeaEagle21]

Agree, we get up to good leads and just fizzle out. Tom seems to be caught out of position way too much this season. We needed that win too with the schedule over the next couple of weeks.. probably the start of a 4 game slide

Is Brooks too scared to stand up when DCE fails? He's not a baby lol WTF?

 

[mickqld]

Look at the next month. Down the barrell of 5 losses in a row. Exactly the same as last year. Sitting 2nd after round 8 and then disappeared without trace. Can see the same pathetic fail coming straight at us happen again

 

[DUFFMAN]

Our record of a premiership every decade has come to an end, we are miles away from having a team capable of winning a competition.

You're obviously an optimist.

 

[Will on the hill]

It's a mental thing. We have the physical ability but we get to a decent lead and completely change how we play. We go from fast and fluid to nervous and clunky.

 

[Bird of Prey]

Long way to go to seeing another premiership again.

 

[DanielTurbo888]

Someone mentioned earlier that Garrick looked terrified before attempting his conversions. Maybe there is more to this nightmare than meets the eye?

 

[mave]

We have very little resilience.

Our whole attitude is that we will simply score more points than the opposition.

It's **** footy, and will not win comps, if history is any guide.

 

[niccipops]

Bad loss but some of us are behaving like eels fans.
The team needs to do better and so do some of our fans.

 

[Damien2812]

Embarrassing loss tonight to an inexperienced Raiders team. That 2nd half shows that this team wants to take the easy options when well in front. No urgency, respect for the ball, no energy and can't defend for crap..😠

 

[SeaEagle21]

You're obviously an optimist.

Tbh more of a realist lol

 

[KNUCKLES]

It's a mental thing. We have the physical ability but we get to a decent lead and completely change how we play. We go from fast and fluid to nervous and clunky.

It's DCEs team, it's DCEs style, it's DCEs brain snaps every week. I'm sorry but it starts and ends with him. Even when we were 20 up I was fkn yelling at the tele with his stupid play. Bcoz I just knew this would happen. It's rugby league not bloody touch footy. Respect the ball!!!

 

[bob dylan]

I said that in 2008

In Round 23 Bunnies (14th) put 40 on us after the Roosters flogged up 32-12 in Round 20.

Not that I rank this team of milk drinkers in the same stratosphere as our mighty 08 side.

 

[Mal Cochrane]

Manly had other senior players to steer the ship in 2011 and it allowed Cherry to play his eyes up game.

It was a poor effort across the team tonight, but manly won't win with dce now the senior steering the ship, too erratic. There will be more great wins orchestrated by him, but too erratic to win 3 finals games in succession to win a GF. He doesn't know how to play percentages. All or nothing.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

You just know when we’re defending our line the majority of the time the opposition is going to score.I just have no confidence.

The kick in their own 30 to Garrick in the first half,sums up part of the teams issue.It may of come off,but given the conditions and circumstances,it was unnecessary.
