We are in a bit of a pickle...

[MANLY4LIFE]

Im happy to be in the mix again a big improvement for sure but i guess we just get frustrated because you look at the dumb things we do and the games we let slip when we are in control , we could actually be up nearer to the scummy cheating drizzle instead of hoping to just scrape in when you think about it

We get better with experience , do you remember 2005 / 2006, this feels very similar.

We played in a GF 1 year later, and won one 2 years later.

In 2007 for example we had Lyon and Matai in the centres . We need a few more quality signings[/QUOTE]

Exactly................we still need the playing personnel......and basically we don't have 'em.
If we could add 1 or 2 high impact players, the team is GF class.

BTW that 2008 GF is my all time favourite Manly moment ever (i guess it must be many peoples)

I was looking at that game again the other day and that Melbourne team was super strong ................and it was the most perfect performance from a Manly side ever!!

 

[Technical Coach]

I call it as I see it and today was fcked .
Our coach and our players like us passionate supporters that ride all the high and low emotions with the team would have all had high expectations and I am sure they would all be very disappointed like us passionate supporters today.
After laying the platform for a top 4 finish with a great game against the Roosters , today we did our selves a great disservice . Today we fcked up big time !!!

Wasn't a great game against the Roosters full stop.

 

[Danly Manly]

Believe in this side? And there you were earlier saying that the Tigers would beat us 34-10 before kick off.

 

[BOZO]

I watch all games

 

[Technical Coach]

I almost fell asleep after the first 15mins, no energy, lacking numbers pushing up with the lead go forward runner, overly conservative one out stuff.(Basically every hit up was one out)

Yes it could have been safety first, condense the Tigers defence then spread the ball wide eventually, but everything needs to be done at speed and power.

These performances could be seen a mile away, no idea what fans were seeing in the Roosters game.

 

[Technical Coach]

I watch all games

Many people "watch" not many are really observing and taking it in with any quality.

 

[Sheikheagle]

I agree that we have overachieved this season and I agree that we will probably finish in the top 8. There were some of those "old heads" who were poor today, Marty, Lawrence & Green come to mind immediately.

I agree with Mark, we should be better for this years experience.

Awful miss by Marty that led to that try and what's the go with BJ's hands. How hard is it to hang onto a football it happens every week.

Sure , but some of us take it as we see it

 

[joeboy]

dont worry turbo, Blake green will get us out of the pickle. He was terrible today, he has a limited role in the team and couldn't even do that right plus he missed a stack of tackles like usual. What organising did he do well today? I saw none and zero leadership. I still don't know what people see in him, I clearly don't see it. As I've been saying all along he simply doesn't bring enough to the table.

Is there some sort of online course we can do to learn how to "watch" properly?

Fairly condescending!


 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Turbo1 you should change your name to the intercept thrower.

 

[Dan]

watched that earlier today

Best show ever

Condescending part of your reply is stating the obvious.
As for learning to "watch properly" just save yourself time and money and learn from technically minded keyboard coaches.

 

[Technical Coach]

Sure , but some of us take it as we see it

Which means some are in a delusional state of mind.

What is so delusional about todays disappointing loss ?
Are some on here living in denial ?

No the overly positive responses to the previous game.

 

[BOZO]

Your only as good as your last game and the previous game didn't help us today .

 

[germaneagle]

Devastated after that and I hope we learn from it otherwise we will be struggling to beat the Dogs and the Warriors and we really have been better than that this year. We lacked the killer instinct that seemed to be present in the second half last week. It hurts but we have over achieved this year and I personally enjoyed our games. I feel for Barrett tonight as he has been great and looking forward to the Dogs game. Go the Eagles.

Previous game showed another should win game was going to be a loss, on the cards.
