Post-Game Discussion Manly V Dolphins [Round 25, 2025]

[Brookie1973]

Not hard to understand why neither of these clubs will be participating at the business end. Koula and Lehi were phenomenal. I’m apathetic regarding the 350th but not surprised Manly got the win. It’s very typical of this team and The Chaser. Where was this effort last week when it mattered?

Looked like dolphins played their GF last week.

So people bag sipley and say “get navale in there” yet sipley played half the minutes of navale and ran for the same metres and same post contact… maybe that’s the reason navale isn’t picked on the bench. More impact with sipley by the looks of it if you compare stats

Because he caught a ball in the clear and ran 50m? Take that off, Navale had the better game.

 

[God]

Defense was ****. Waddle was **** and dce only plays for personal glory.

 

[Eagledare2dream]

Think we would have played better a man down without waddle

But to b fair matee, he filled in for half of our team and we #####ken won.

Enjoyed

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I think with the pressure off and playing a team also on a losing streak they threw caution to the wind , and it worked.

**** all defence ( and the scoreline showed that ) big it was at least entertaining.

Congratulations to the Chaser on his 350th, I’m pleased he got a win for that.

Nice to see all his family there , I’m happy for him ( and them).

But , he can still **** off and the sooner the better.

 

[God]

How has Waddle played every game this year?! He is truly rubbish an not an edge forwards butt hole.

Related to a Turbo

 

[redlineg]

Yes, and until our defence improves by 100% we won't be doing anything. It's obvious we have some (dare I say it) weapons in attack. Our defence is soft as butter and whoever figured Waddell was our third best edge forward needs to be banished forever.

Good win today but we did let in some soft tries.
Great long distance tries but we still struggle close to their line
I agree with comments on Corey, threw some speculators which were not warranted
Still have concern with close range attack and line defence
Good to see a win DCE
Where was this effort in previous games?

 

[Brookie1973]

Defense was *. Waddle was * and dce only plays for personal glory.

Amen.

 

[Eagledare2dream]

30 points against us say it all.

Half of the team out Bob, give them a break. At least we beat them by 30-0 just look at it that way mateee.

Got some minutes today

Did you watch the game?

Maybe you missed Sipleys 50m run in the clear after he picked up an errant kick?

Navale was outstanding.....and should have been playing months ago.

 

[Eagledare2dream]

You think this game of touch football changes anytthing? To expect more from your team doesn't make you a hater.

But u have been mate, admit it , can't help it if we have a sh#####tty owner, coach, and players. But the club is above all bull$h##$#ttt going on.

Did you watch the game at all or just basing your opinions off the stats?

 

[Scorpio]

Speaking of stats, that game had the 8th highest points total in NSWRL/ARL/NRL history.

 

[Rackets]

Will definitely enjoy the win this week and maybe give a bit cheek to my Redcliffe workmates, but next week against the dragons they'll resume to normal channel with another poor performance. Happy to be proven wrong though.

 

[Hertera]

But u have been mate, admit it

What?

 

[Wombat Junior]

Another performance that proves how bipolar we are, how can we go from **** to good to **** to good over and over.

I've got mixed emotions, happy to get a win, confused by our performance, sad that it feels wrong and feel like I can't celebrate DCE's 350th because of how he has handled the situation and treated the club, even though he has been the halfback I have grown up supporting for a lot of my time as a supporter, frustrated to lose my tips on both tipping comps I'm in because I'd have an easier time guessing what a schizophrenic is going to do next than how we will play.

 

[Eagledare2dream]

All I can say is enjoy the win STRONGER TOGETHER, might not b many more next year.

 

[mickqld]

That I think was the plan, no pressure just throw it around and see what happens.

Maybe that should've been the plan the last month. No good now is it. Defense was horrendous from both sides.

Navale’s play the balls were highly effective. It’s not always about metres gained, it’s about finding the front and generating ruck speed.
