Game Day: Dragons v Manly [Round 4, 2024]

[dubLEs]

Arrogance by Manly, as predicted by many here. We look really bad, without much respect for the ball or possession. Turbo looks utterly shellshocked.

 

[Kalvin]

8 points down, (could've been 24) I'll take it. No way we drop that much ball in the 2nd half. Sips has been great.

Agreed - really only positive from the half is that they missed 2 kicks and we are really only 1 try out of it (for now on paper)

 

[The Royal Soup]

Seems to work pretty well for a coach like Bellamy. Not suggesting every week. But this is one week that it’s required. Or are we worried someone’s feelings might get hurt.

Oshay might go on strike again

 

[The '47ers]

Hope Turbos not injured, he's definitely got his mind on something else!

 

[davohan123]

Is croker injured why was he off the ground so early ??

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

I will never understand the DCE lovefest on here

He has a great long kicking game but outside of that he often has no idea what to do when we are attacking the opposition line and gives away possession early in the tackle count. Not only that but it’s his side that is usually the one getting exposed in defence but it’s always the centres and wingers copping the blame.

He’s not alone in having a poor game today but we had a number of chances then at 6-6 and needed a lot more from our captain and halfback

He just confuses everyone every time he touches the ball.

 

[Oligarch]

I think we let the wrong coach go

You obviously didn’t see the titans v dogs game - car crash

DCE is great when we’re on top. When we’re playing **** like today and we need a leader to just play simple GOOD footy, he’s useless. He panics, he has no alternative to front foot play. Hunt is an example of a half who CAN play tough footy.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

I reckon he is injured

 

[Darknstormy]

All our top over paid players are inconsistent its plain and simple we lack consistency doesn’t matter who you bring in to coach we have lacked consistency for over a decade now..top tier players should not drop easy ball or run around like a headless chook..these guys are players that feed off confidence but as soon as things get tough or hard they go missing like tom against top teams..I don’t see anything but inconsistency this season

 

[Rackets]

Time for a plan B Seibs coz plan A is not working... woeful

 

[mickqld]

Clearly this group doesn't have it mentally to switch on the effort week after week. Been the same for a decade. We are light years again from top 4 and barely look like top 8 with this lack of effort. All these errors come from a team not prepared to work hard and this comes from it's leaders who are looking to take easy options.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

“Piss poor” pretty much sums that half up. Can’t hang onto the ball, can’t defend. The more things change, eh?

What’s most disappointing is the overall lethargy of the team. Zero urgency, zero fire. Which is why they are getting touched up by a bog average side.

 

[eagleron]

I'm still confident of a Manly win.

Wish I felt that way mate

 

[davohan123]

Its like also we are all looking for someone else to do the hard stuff.

This will be a telling half of footy

Careful mate, careful. Fanboi’s will have you marked. Honestly been like it all his career.

Rocks, diamond, rocks, diamond,rocks, diamond. It won’t change. Was hoping Brooks would take the heat off but last 2 weeks whole sides been rubbish.

 

[Oligarch]

21 missed tackles and 8 errors

 

[bob dylan]

This could be my first winner for the weekend in the tipping.

Roosters to beat Panthers
Bulldogs to beat Rabbitohs
Cowboys to beat Broncos
Dragons to beat Sea Eagles

He’s talking about Flanno mate.

 

[bob dylan]

21 missed tackles and 8 errors

Surely there are more than 8 errors?
