I feel....Numb

i have been passionate and at times the entire neighbourhood would hear me....
This is strange, the lack of belief in this sides ability and ambitions leaves me more numb than angry/disappointed.
The players are hard to connect with as in the past, the players have always had so much intent and determination at Manly....even the losses were a fight till the end.
To lose to this pathetic Knights team in this fashion, I expected to be more distraught....it’s becoming common practice where losing is becoming so easy for the players to accept, as a supporter, you kind of join in with the “who cares “ attitude.
 
I hate to say it but it feels like a dragons mentality creeping in. Bring back a Manly coach.

Note: I actually rate some of Barrets philosophies but his man management isn’t up to it.
 
Is it down one side or all over?

Maxta, 15 players for 60mins .... vs 17.
Game after game we just aren't getting any rub of the green... Any luck.

Just not our year unfortunately.
It really does feel like a mixture of some seriously s###t reffing and some terrible luck. What are we down to like 20 players now?
 
They led this game even after the injuries they had more possession they could have ground out the win with defence and defence is about attitude and there attitude sucks at the moment
 
We are almost guaranteed to get our first wooden spoon- the last four weeks have been the most ordinary since first year back from Northern Eagles.

Some of the play was incompetent;

Croker not passing for first disallowed try
Thompson shirt grab knight first try
Kappow multiple drop balls
Plus many more

Another clean out required I am afraid
 
Agreed. Haven't felt so empty and despondent about Manly since we died and were replaced by the N.E Frankenstein. The club is now a rotting shell of what it once was. The decline has been since the Desgate and Gift debacles but now it's a rapid downhill descent to a wooden spoon hell. There we'll stay for a number of years I'm afraid.
 
There will be apologists who say he was t at nine all game but the first player to go is korisau. He cannot pass. Even when fresh. He can't read the play before the play to save himself energy. Nice kick for that first try but man o man he is out of his depth as a first choice nine. He would be in the top tier/best three in the comp super sub first picked no.14 if allowed to play that way. He's a quality footballer just not a quality dummy half.

And the sad thing is no one in senior management care at all.

We are the laughing stock of the sporting world.

Our once proud tradition is gone.

I know people may disagree but this team is worse than the NE days ,at least then we knew we had a bad team then.

And to think
Roosters Broncos Storm and Raiders away
Things are about to get ugly.
 
Prepare for an extended period of numbness because there is no light at the end of the tunnel in short to medium term, unless by some miracle we can conjure up a couple of signings by June 30.
 
And one last thing
I know we had Blake green last year but we had some of our best away wins ever last year, raiders roosters, Souths games come to mind and the home win verse the panthers.
These games we blew teams of the park and I was proud to be a manly supporter those nights.
Fast forward one year and we have no heart at all.
Yes we have injuries and off field drama but we look so different and lost.
Tonight I feel to everyone one on this forum I just wish more people at the club cared like we do.
