Post-Game Discussion Manly v Broncos [Round 10, 2023]

[Bubbler]

The team needs to practice their balls handling skills with a bar of soap instead of a Steeden. Especially Aloiai who dropped how many last night!?

 

[DGD]

Huomole is our best player by a mile, and has been for weeks, if not longer.

Why is it that DCE literally had nothing to do with our best attacks all night? Turbo threw 2 passes that DCE hasn’t done in years.
Manly has the best right edge in the game, but DCE non-existent passing games is a black Hole for our Right side attack. Huamole & Koula have to do it all by themselves. Then you add in Cooper Johns wh has zero attacking game, and that is a massive problem for both halves.

Whens Latu Fainu available ? DCE needs to be dumped

 

[DGD]

Johns needs to be Dropped

 

[ALinda]

One of my main observations last night was the way, particularly in the first half, the Broncos would take three steps forward to play the ball meaning our markers had to readjust, yet we got called back several times. It constantly had us on the back foot.

Certainly not saying it cost us the game, but definitely helped with their momentum.

Hence our 'home' game vs Broncs shouldn't have been at Suncorp. If the game was at Brookie, I doubt they would've got away with that. One of many reasons for this disparity to cease.

Does anyone rememeber the game when Foran played 7 and Schuster played 6? Regardless if its not them..it showcased the fact we need halv3les that can run their line ..take a tackle ..a hit up and also pass..not go side ways...We literally hammered the Eels at their homeground..our outside backs are good..its the halves combo we have to get right so our Olakalatu and Koulas..Garricks can fire..Even Walker was doing his best to straigten it up when he came in as a Sub.

I bet Marty is laughing his head off, thinking how things worked out for the better for me

Marty was painfully slow playing the ball at Manly, yet last night was winning quick play the balls off nearly every run he made.

agree but he couldnt do that for us the last few years

Yep, but I wonder why...

Manly function a lot better without DCE.

Pretty easy when you have Carrigan, Haas, Flegler, Riki take one hit up after another off the ruck. We dont have anyone since Fonua Blake that has taken those heavy yardage hit ups on a consistent basis.. Aloai, Paseka, Keppie don't really measure up.

What difference does it make when the current 9 takes an age to pass the ball and cant deliver a crisp pass.

 

[BOZO]

I finally gained some confidence in Tommy in the second half. Whatever Jake said to him at half time definitely did the trick. So there's hope there.

We were way better with Lawton than Croker.

We were better with Burbo than Parker.

Haumole and DCE tried their bums off.

Aloiai must be dropped.He costs us every week.

Our complete club playing roster is not as bad as we are playing

We do have a competitive top 8 roster to fight for a top 8 spot

but we seem to have no fight in us

We are grossly underachieving

We are completing and competing below NRL standards

Team selections as you have pointed out @Budgie also play a vital role

Seibold and Mastrov in their honeymoon period both agreed that Des left our club with a competitive roster

After the honeymoon period as we all know adversity sets in
And this is where Great leaders step in and resolve and revive

For the sake of our Legendary Great club
We all wish the Mestrov /Seibold Marriage a happy ending

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

One thing I unfortunately noticed last night was how friging big Jordan Riki is. On the TV he looks lean but the guy was massive. He could be a top line player in the years to come.

9.20 am and you're drunk already?

That’s gold @Budgie.

This is a very Moving Photo after our Game last Night

As soon as the full time siren went
Huamole was a shattered site on the field as he went down on his knees

All Passionate Manly supporters felt the same way
It is more than just a Game for all Passionate Manly people
and a Loss is soul Breaking
It is about time we broke the Premiership Winning drought

 

[Hotspur2014]

Break the Premiership drought with the forwards we have - you are kidding me !

 

[BOZO]

Break the Premiership drought with the forwards we have - you are kidding me !

Premiership winning teams evolve
With the right coach and some changes in the playing roster and we are there feathered friend

Isn't that Tualagi?

 

[wombatgc]

Yep, but I wonder why...

Because his surname wasn’t getting pronounced right.
