Game Day: Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]

[NYEagle]

A weak bunch of mercinaries playing against a weak team.

What a pathetic bunch of losers Manly are. That try by Hopgood would never happen against a motivated team.

Begin the overhaul.

I honestly have followed them for 50 years but I’m seriously thinking that I’m over it. Until we get a new coach and a whole new attitude I’m not renewing my membership

Honestly you could have the best coach in the world and I am not sure it turns us into a contender (maybe better but not great)

Our cap is just not right which means we have zero depth and an over reliance on players who are not up to it

Well i have thought our roster was not worthy of top 8.

Its actually a bottom 4 roster.

I dont we would get more than 2 players in a composite side made uof the worst 4 sides being Tigers, Eels Titans and Manly. Seriously only DCE and Haumole would make it on form.

It's not a bottom 4 roster at all. Yes we are light in the forwards due to injury but this lays directly on the doorstep of our coach and his staff.

Aaron Woods and Nate Myles say hello.

At least Woods didn't cost us much..... Nate Myles was stain.....

 

[Cochrane]

Just watch his hit ups, he is all 60 % speed, trying to milk penalties rather than the inning the ruck,
He is ****ing horrible

Always bugged me about Garrick, he goes alright but his constant looking and feigning for penalties reminds me of my old footy team who'd do that when things weren't going our way because they didn't believe in themselves to win on their own.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Anyone explain why we have only used 3 reserves.

Everyone has been used but Navale has gotten his 5 minutes again 🥺

 

[Wombat64]

Field goal....

 

[redlineg]

Shame they couldn't have played this game on Sunday.

What and spoil a good weekend!

 

[mickqld]

They've got a prop beating Turbo to a bomb. That sums up this trashed club.

 

[skull61]

Run the same play to our left every set seemingly. We know no one coaches defence but who is coaching attack

What was Spoons game plan tonight?

Who's job is it to motivate? The coach. There is your problem and answer all in one lump.

 

[Wombat64]

We need someone who will do a ruthless clean out of that plodders

[bob dylan]

Turbo has been moving better but he is not even a Shadow of what he was.

Doesn’t even look like he wants to do it himself, looking for the path of least resistance

Brookes has been appalling.

He was, even in round two, the best running player in the game. I think as good a player as I have seen in 50 years.

Now he doesnt even look like he can break a tackle.

Something doesnt make sense.

 

[effnic]

Jake Arthur has done the type of performance many many times. How he still gets a look in is on the coach. Sack Seibs. Sack Brooks. Sack Arthur. Clean this rabble of a club out.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

I guess now we know why the club chased Fogerty , Arthurs not a chance again

 

[Carl]

What and spoil a good weekend!

I could have had a good weekend blissfully unaware of the ****show that was to come

 

[TJ55]

Last week was the week of comebacks

This week it is the week of floggings

What a weird comp

When do I start.

Penn, Mestrov and Seibold are first.
