Post-Game Discussion Dragons v Manly [Round 19, 2022]

[frank stokes]

Place that game in the predictable losses category and evens out our good run through origin period.

I have never seen such a disrupted team list outside of an origin period and the injuries just kept coming.

I am not sure who is in our pack next week.

Schu could play prop...

Why do we have all these game threads. It's stupid.

 

[Rackets]

This game was so crucial. Chooks will overtake us tonight then probably beat us next week and go 2 points clear. It's up to the knights now to do us a favour.

Game day thread never dissapoints 😂😂😂

Tough loss, we needed that one.

Shuster really needs to knuckle down if the wants to live up to his talent.

A lot of pot shots at DCE but I thought Foran was pretty ordinary.

We obviously missed Jake and Crokers defense but also definitely missed a hooker. Dessies whole plan of having DCE, Foran and Walker all covering there was ill conceived and made us disorganised.

Losing Ben and Keppie early plus having Olakau'atu play 76 minutes lame hurt us.

Will say I though Harper, Aloiai and Tuipulotu were good.

All in all a dissapointing loss and we should have been better. On to next week.

We played a sh*t garbage team who've done nothing all year who also lost their fullback after 10 min. There's no excuses for that putrid effort. It was from a weak team with a weak sense of committing to a cause.

 

[Under the Sticks]

It makes no sense but is as annoying as hell

@Budgewoi Eagle i am assuming this is an auto feature not one of wonderful staff 😉

 

[Chunkytuna]

Good luck next week playing the team that put 54 on a team we couldn’t score more than 6 pathetic points against.

Roosters have a tough run home I’m not worried by them

That's the way 👍

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

I thought Garrick was solid and ran the ball back with no fear all night.

 

[Chunkytuna]

No offence..but who is DCE following?

He’s following his team mates when they’re playing well. He’s supposed to be leading them no matter whether they’re playing well of poorly. Not sure I can explain it any clearer than that.

Not sure we needed it but definitely deserved it. One thing we definitely didn't need was more injuries. Aloia picking up an injury would be a huge blow.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

what a completely insipid second half! DCE was terrible. Foran trying hard - but terrible errors. Schuster totally average. Walker average - zero scoots. The attack in the second half had absolutely NO direction and that is on DCE! Keppie a total waste of space. A woeful woeful effort. There is nobody to blame for that second half besides DCE and Foran. This wasn't on Des. This wasn't on the injuries or COVID. This wasn't on the poor refereeing.. this was all about a totally disorganised second half attack. Nothing more. Nothing less!

Saints are crap but benkunt had a much better kicking game than DCE. It was won and lost in field position.

 

[Will on the hill]

Disappointed but remove DCE's first kick, Marty's pass off the ground and Schuster's failed PTB and we win that. Not a bad effort considering who we were missing. If Hunt doesn't slip he doesn't score. That was a closer game than the score line suggests. Just hope Josh and Molé are OK.

 

[Sheikheagle]

Looks like Tarzan plays like Jane... well, to be fair, he plays like Tarzan for verrrry short periods, on occasion, sometimes...

Keppie doesn’t look like Tarzan, more like Mr Potato Head.

 

[Under the Sticks]

DCE is certainly holding his age better than Foz and Walks

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Nah that's pretty clear and spot on for this game.

To lazy.

I think you’re being very generous. There were a million more errors than that.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

I thought the referee could have had a closer look at the incident that nearly took Haumole out. Looked like de Bellend, the boy who likes having threesomes with only one female in the equation, deliberately slid into him.

There were several marginal plays like that. Bird looks and plays like an HM Prison Long Bay inmate. Another grub.
