Game Day: Manly v Roosters [Round 19, 2018]

It's called buying in, Mark.
Getting on the bus ,....
Anything you want to call it.

Are you seeing that effort from this squad for Barrett ?
 
Parker=First game was brave in defence against the warriors on the wing against Vatuvai.,, and the bow legged, unatbletic, C grader has been living off the fumes of that performance ever since. Absolute dud.

What I’m seeing is a young team getting blown off the park by a team of superstars.

I’m no Barrett lover BUT I just can’t be convinced that every issue is 110% related to the coach!!

Parker/Suli/Wright/Wright wouldn’t make FG anywhere else, but that’s what the coach has to work with.
 
Barrett might be a **** coach but have a look at the side, suli, matt wright, parker, tom wright, fainu, winterstein, hodgo wow. Park footballers. How are we in cap trouble. Management over the past 4 years have killed this club

Correct , may not have the best coach BUT FMD the coach doesn’t have the best players either!!

I agree somewhat but when you look at the Tigers they are an even more mediocre team on paper but their coach gets them up for the game, they're disciplined and well drilled.

Our management of the ruck is our biggest problem. Our play the balls are very slow, even when players don't get turtled and remain on their fronts. In comparison, we have little to no control in our tackles and Roosters are up and off before our markers can even get close to setting.... The reason this is a problem is that our forward are not even get their usually decent platform with meters and momentum as they are running into set lines, line speed and gang tackles. The score is the result of this one critical area... ruck management. All the other garbage play is merely a down the line effect of this.
