Game Day: Manly v Penrith [Round 12, 2020]

[swoop]

Who ambushed who. ****ing coach needs to take ownership for this.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Mate he gets targeted every week with kicks. It's so ****ing obvious he's a massive liability. Our entire backline aside from DCE is.

How many tries off kicks to his wing tonight ? Why is DCE getting a hall pass ?? He’s been just as ineffective as anyone else tonight

 

[court83]

Looks good
I will look into one , will come in handy with the foxtel and lappy

 

[susan]

Speed athleticism size is the modern game. We are being left behind. Three quarter line is embarrassing. The season stats are awful. Their play is awful. If we run Parker Garrick and co out again that will do me.

it’s just so hard to watch.Can anyone seriously tell me that a Shuster /Hoppa / Metcalfe could be worse than these guys.And no more of this Parker to forwards stuff please. He would be risking his life.

 

[killerspud]

Siro in trouble....we are gooone for 2020.

 

[ManWar]

Tonight is a fair reflection of where we’re at in this comp - fringe top 8. We have issues in terms of backline roster and Des’s team selections. Sure Turbo would make a difference but to win a premiership we need to rely on more than one player.

And also Des said after the sharks game that conceding 40 would not be happening again. Well it happened...

 

[Simonmyers11]

Anyone else think our forwards are the issue.

Its easy to blame Elliott, Parker and Taufua.

But i think our forwards are not mobile enough for the 2020 game. Thompson, Marty, Siro and AFB. Just comparing them to Martin, Yeo, Fisher- Harris and co.

Wont solve tonights problems but its food for thought.

Then there is our hooker.

I thought our forwards held the middle well tonight against a relentless pack.

Our outside backs were horrible, all their tries out wide. Jorge just comes in too often and not necessary

Yeah honestly I think we are 10th/11th this year. May cause a few upsets during the run in but overall we are a pretty average roster playing average footy.

 

[Waz13]

Ohh ffs no! F*** this season it’s fake anyways with covid. I’m out. Sorry if I’ve offended anyone tonight.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Siro been struggling for a few weeks. Bound to happen soon. Had lost all agility for a while now

Made two try saving tackles. He was better than most.

 

[mickqld]

Pathetic turn up. All the backs bar Suli are 2nd graders. Parker, Walker are just injury liabilities. Our forwards playing like they are 2nd graders. Sironen gone once again by the look. We just carry too many 2nd graders and injury prone players.

 

[Chip and Chase]

We’ve lost the plot now.

 

[wedgetail eagle]

Mistakes were made....

 

[Simonmyers11]

Crocker is so bad

 

[XV-1]

I've been saying for weeks our back 5 offer nothing at all.. its pretty clear our entire backline is average
Parker is average
Tafua is a liability these days
Garrick is average
Elliott is average
Suli is good in the mid field but offers nothing once in attacking range...

Its all well and good to be hero's when turbo is literally handing you trys on a platter, but the minute they need to get in and earn their trys, not a single one of them is anywhere to be seen.. and I've been saying that thru bad losses and good wins..

Disagree. They are all very average.

You would swap every Penrith backline player for ours including Suli. And they are all young.

 

[Chuck]

How many tries off kicks to his wing tonight ? Why is DCE getting a hall pass ?? He’s been just as ineffective as anyone else tonight

He also gets targeted every week due to his rush defense.

 

[SeaEagle21]

Panthers are the real deal and we never got in the contest. With these huge losses we'll be lucky to make the finals.

Just kept making mistakes and it cost us any momemtum.

 

[Simonmyers11]

DCE again. Been everywhere in defence tonight

 

[Lyle]

Who’s coaching the attack at the moment? We look like an absolute rabble inside the opposition 20. I know Turbo is vital but can’t rely on 1 player to do everything in attacking territory. Incredibly frustrating to watch
