GAME DAY - Manly v Dogs [Round 7, 2015]

[SeaEagle21]

Injuries aside we really can only blame ourselves. There may have been fwd passes and knock-ons etc but 10-0 after 10mins and the ensuing repeat sets at the start cost us the game. We were chasing it for the next 70mins. Feel sorry for the guys but onto the next game

We also got dominated in the forwards again .

I think the forwards held their own for a lot of the match. Most of the Dogs' tries came from Wiliame errors or fast breaks off a dropped ball. We were in that match.

You can see the boys out there are trying, we just look tired. 12 players out, we were always going to struggle. Also want to say, Cherry-evans you showed ticker tonight, not like your mate. You pushed through injury the whole night and never stopped trying!

 

[Andrew..]

I have heaps of respect for Matt Ballin but Hodges is becoming a must (at least off the bench) trouble is we need four forwards because even our starting pack is weak at the moment.

 

[torana355]

It all has to start with defence, look at the Dragons and what they have done with some decent defence. Our structures are terrible. When i keep seeing the same **** structures every week i wonder what they are doing at training?

 

[SeaEagle21]

And no one got injured

Killer? Ankle injury i think

 

[TokyoEagle]

Wow we are so pedestrian all over the park. Only spark is Jake T and Hodges. These two need maximum game time. Need to be mass droppings after this week.

Sao did well when on.

Yes you are right the best our forwards could do was hold their own and not make it their own .

 

[manlywarringah]

He looks like he is carrying a hip injury which I noticed a couple of weeks ago.

While everyone is off injured, he has played on each game.

Thanks DCE for putting in while others haven't...AND PLEASE STAY!

 

[BOZO]

Killer? Ankle injury i think

Correct

 

[eaglebuzz]

Yes you are right the best our forwards could do was hold their own and not make it their own .

With our current injury toll I think that's about the best we can hope for. I think if Starling and Lawrence were fit and we could field a backline without any reserve graders in it we could have won some of these matches.

 

[bob dylan]

Even if they are fit we should not send the following players to Melbourne next week.

Matai, Lyon, Foran, DCE, Buhrer, Stewart or Ballin.

Lets just concede the match and try to start again the next week.

 

[manlyseaeaglesyeew]

I dont care what anyone thinks, Cherry-evans played like a manly player should, pushed through his injury all game, never stopped trying and was everywhere stopping grubbers going through, have snake out there with him and we win i think, (not like his other mate)

 

[eaglebuzz]

And what is happening with Taufua? I know he's been a naughty boy but I'd have him back in a heartbeat at the moment.

 

[lsz]

Can not fault the effort after the first 10

 

[Simonmyers11]

Week 10 apparently

 

[mmmdl]

Biggest turning point was that terrible no knock on call and then they scored next play. Also hiku kicking the ball into them after lyon's knock back was dumb! Missed snake tonight big time.

I agree, but it shows the difference between the attitudes of the 2 sides - Dogs played on, got a call and scored. Hiku had a dummy spit like a petulant sook and kicked the ball, and the Dogs scored from that as well. I was disgusted by that play. This team has a spoon coming, it's as simple as that.

 

[BOZO]

With our current injury toll I think that's about the best we can hope for. I think if Starling and Lawrence were fit and we could field a backline without any reserve graders in it we could have won some of these matches.

The Dogs had plenty out injured and suspended as well including their captain Graham , Kasiano Klammer and co . We need to put a broom through the place . This is why we brought Fulton in the place to oversee all the sht we have piled up

 

[niccipops]

We also got dominated in the forwards again .

Yep.
I don't know what the solution is. We don't seem to have the cattle to match the competition and our best blokes are injured with more going down each week.
It's a very challenging time for the team.
Tough time for fans. We just need to ride it out with the team. The tide will turn eventually and
the wins will be ever so sweet when they come.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Some of our mistake-ridden players need an old-fashioned dose of James Graham-style attitude adjustment. Not the friendly, comforting, caring/sharing, warm and fuzzy inner glow stuff we see when Will I Am Extraneous (or whomever) stuffs up.
