Post-Game Discussion Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

[bob dylan]

The manly forwards are just not up to the standard of the top teams
That’s where the clean out needs to start
Even Bully hasn’t been great lately

We need to go after some of the Roosters bench forwards.

And go hard.

 

[DieHardManlyFan]

With our season on the line it looked like us fans wanted it more than the playing group.

 

[JBW]

I don't care about the weather. That was pure incompetence. From the coaches game plan to the captains inability to get the attack flowing, to Jazz's inability to pass, to Brooks inability to step up in game 250, to everyone being dead set sh1t. Can someone PLEASE tell me how Waddell offers more than young Navale....

I'm so glad I can now stop even falsely hoping for finals footy. Clear the bloody deck and rebuild.

 

[Darknstormy]

The aging forwards trying hard but the injuries are becoming a constant. Time to try to just enjoy the remaining games this season and with DCE going and hopefully Trbojevic contracts renewed sensibly (and with a little wishful thinking Penn sells up) we can start a rebuild

1 to 5 on paper doesn’t looks so bad but 6 to 13 well what can one say old slow and incapable…then you have grimace and friends…we have been a basket case since Penn took control

 

[Bringbackcliffy]

Well there you go and there goes the season
One team ground out a win to keep there season alive and one team couldn’t

I’m not sure they wanted to keep the reason alive. I suspect the players want this year over and done.

 

[Phobia]

Bad day to have eyeballs. Somehow the suspended union game was better viewing.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

I’m not sure they wanted to keep the reason alive. I suspect the players want this year over and done.

On that performance you could be right

 

[manlyfan76]

Lucky TKO turned up.

And Jazz.

I was just looking for a TKO thread. Our best player tonight.

 

[Eagle 1]

We are officially hopeless

Seriously..
we are AT HOME
Knowing full well that beating the Roosters basically puts them out of contention and us right in contention.

There was EVERYTHING TO PLAY FOR... AND they deliver ZERO

ZERO EFFORT
ZERO DESIRE
ZERO URGENCY
ZERO PASSION
ZERO PRIDE

Seriously very very average effort

sad reality

Yeah, after we got the try the signs weren't good after this. Just nothing in attack, and we were monstered by their pack for the most part.

 

[Bomb Voyage]

Was that Penn walking around the sheds?

TKO & Koula…..the rest forget. So disappointing.

 

[bob dylan]

Remember The 69ers Terry?

maybe D$E will be 9

I forgot Robson and Watson.

 

[broadbeachm]

Time for cleanout 2026 staring with coach. Then all the backline minus turbo hoppa. Find some forwards also.

 

[manlyfan76]

TKO & Koula…..the rest forget. So disappointing.

Jazz put in I thought. ( When on the field and stood up for his teammate

 

[Eagledare2dream]

Fogarty and Walsh in the halves next year hopefully under Ballin. Dce and brooks are awful

Now U meant ASAP

 

[Eagle 1]

It's a love fest on Fox, ex Chook players pumping up Blobo and Roosters players, the ultimate kick in the arse listening to this.

I’m at a loss how Waddell is picked every week. Tonight TKO, Koula & Jazz can hold their heads up. The rest forget!

 

[skull61]

The next few weeks are frightening

 

[The '47ers]

The next few weeks are frightening

*years

 

[Fibro Eagle]

The forwards lay the foundation always has been always will be .The Manly pack is slow ,one out ,rarely off load they don’t push up in support they run off standing starts and with the continuous pass back inside to nothing time and time again
How can any backline operate off that
