Game Day: Manly v Cowboys [Round 9, 2016]

[Moops]

Settle down

I hate to say it, but he's right.

 

[KOMORI]

Ha Vave is awesomesauce lol and Jake finally kicks for a try!

 

[Simonmyers11]

Great ball from vave. Got a good pass in him

 

[Fibro Eagle]

At least there not giving up shows character with all the changes and some dubious referee calls in the first 1/2

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

First time post so be gentle.

Watching this from my sofa in London town with my head in my hands.

Supported this side for 30 years. Bugger me that makes me old. But what the hell.

The new coaching staff has come in and gone hey I can see you lot were one of the best attacking sides of the past 10 years but let's try something different.

This seems like the plan

Stand shallow. No big back line sweeping plays. Run around like headless chickens. Get injured if you touch ball. Kick off so opposition catch it on the 30m line. Blah blah blah.

I know we have huge injuries. I know we lost foran. I know there had to be changes but how much is enough.

The cows are probably the best in comp but we should do better than that at home.

 

[Garts]

I dont understand why we would expect any better.

The roster is no better, i actually think its worse. Hiku, Mason, Wolf, Foran and Horo would walk into this team.

Mason, no. Hiku, yes with injuries, Wolf maybe with injuries, Foran easily, Horo im not sure.

I am confident if we get our top side back and keep them we are a top 8 side and will improve massively. Do not forget the injuries we have now. We are putting in still. We are not top 4 but we have massive improvement in us.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

If only Tapau could handle a loose ball on the ground. We could be leading by now.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I've actually been impressed with Godinet tonight, HUGE ask to drop into a first grade side.

He's played mostly well tonight

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Vave has one of the best offloads in the game.

 

[Dan]

Does anyone feel like Kapow plays too wide?

Like he has been given instruction to play out wide but has taken it far too literally

He's not involved nearly as much as I'd like to see..

 

[Nordburg]

Nope I didn't ( expect much different), rebuild year 1, let's see how we go in a few years when the cap has ripped apart the Girls

Yes,a rebuild year,so they buy Myles,Lussick

Great heart.

Welcome aboard mate, echo your thoughts!!

But we will improve, might take a year or two but we'll be ok

 

[Robeagle]

Absolutely discraceful

They can't tackle

 

[HoldenV8]

We may have lost by 16 but I'm proud of the effort tonight. The execution was lacking, but they showed a hell of a lot of heart.

Remember we are missing Snake, Tommy, Jorge, Ferris, Api. Put that lot in and this game could well have been different.

Year or two wow something to look forward too

 

[torana355]

Our Effort was great and we had injuries and a few bad calls to deal with but we need to start doing the little things right to really become a top 8 team again.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Can someone tell this fish head host that they are the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles?

 

[SeaEagle007]

Im watching this game expecting a loss tonight, Im still happy the boys are putting in, thats all we can ask for. As for the first 20 min one of the 3 penalties was legit. The others were incorrect. No exuses. cowboysare making just look easy, we are undermanned , and under galvinised, we cant take a trick , injuries everywhere. I still think once we ever get a full squad on the park, with 3-4 games in a row building combinations we will give most teams a fright.. These 5 day turnaround times are a pain..
