Game Day: Manly v Sharks [Round 11, 2023]

[XV-1]

Quite downhearting watching ex Manly players like Hynes and Ramien killing it against us.

 

[Alfreddo]

If we score next we go on to win this

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Ladder doesn't show it (for now), but my eyes tell me we are the worst team in the NRL. Slow, lazy, no structures, no idea what to do with or without the ball. Just completely flat in every area.

Tuilangi may be the laziest defender I have ever seen. His piss-poor marker play gave them the repeat set that led, inevitably, to their first try. Then he gives away another stupid penalty for their next two points.

And Cherry, it's great that you're defending well - it really is. But being unable to find touch off a penalty, when we desperately needed it, is just unforgivable.

Honestly, I could not imagine being a member of this team. Whenever there's a hint something positive happening, somebody always manages to do something stupid and throw it all away. So deflating. No wonder they all look resigned to their fate.

Dessie must be sitting at home, counting his money, amd just laughing at that fkwit Penn.

Penn-is-a-Pen-is

 

[NREagle]

The only thing keeping me interested in this game are my bets. But they all involve us scoring a try, so why bother! Seriously look at our attack today and over the past 3 weeks. It’s insipid! One try v Titans, keppie barge over, 1 try v broncs by burbo in the 78th min, the tigers tries were rubbish and now this. Seriously wtf is going on? I know weve had spine combo issues but seriously, offer something.

As soon as the ball gets to Johns anything we are trying to do breaks down.

 

[Seagles68]

You reckon Seibold has a rant in him coz they need a Dessie like bomb up them. Seriously, I dont see it but I could be wrong.

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Gordon to hooker, Froggy to 5/8 and Shoe to lock.

For me its a no brainer. Not sure our coaches see it that way though.

Gordon to hooker, Humphries to 5/8 , Shoe to Lock.

 

[Nordburg]

I’ve stood up for Croker in the past but that’s it for me,everything starts at dummy half and it’s just too slow.Whether it’s the play the ball or pass,they just take an age to get the ball to the first receiver

 

[Eagles4Life]

imagine all the old boys there today watching this crap

Our current side doesn't compare to most of our sides from our Old Boys eras. Its ****ing tragic @The Royal Soup that they have to watch the disinterested **** they are being dished up today.

 

[Nike]

The team has been so far off the pace it isn't funny, there's been a really noticeable lack of ruck control without Jake slugging™ it up which has exposed some defensive deficiencies that the Sharks are exploting to perfection.

I loathe to assign blame during the heat of a poor performance. Apart from the players who are obviously not up which you can't really blame them for individually, there's evidently some worrying signs as far as preparation and game plans go - which is ultimately the responsbility of our coaching staff which is a real worry tbh.

He's probably looking forward to a feed at Maccas after the game.

 

[bob dylan]

If the team shared half of his competitiveness and professionalism they would be in this.

Surprised Woods is having a bigger dig then the other forwards

Effort was never an issue with Woods actually I would say it was his greatest attribute.

The fact he is in our best 2 or 3 forwards is just embarrassing.

 

[fLIP]

There’s no effort. They’re either being told what they dish up is good enough or theirs a good 50% of them that need a punt.

I actually feel they’re told they’re doing ok.

 

[Alfreddo]

Game of 2 halves. We need more grunt in defence to cause those vital errors. If we get back within 6. The Sharkies will crumble just watch

We are getting the lions share of penalties. No excuses there.

Same here @Nordburg

 

[Chunkytuna]

We are far too passive in defence, the sharks are making massive metres because we are standing back and letting them. In attack we offer nothing absolutely nothing. On form we must be the worst team in the comp and when you think how bad the Tigers and dragons are going that in itself tells you how bad we are. Our only hope of scoring a try was if they went off early at half time

Easily the worst team in the league ATM. EASILY!!! not even close. Tigers and St George put in way more effort than us. We WILL get our first ever spoon this year unless something drastic changes. And seibold will have done it to two proud clubs. I hope I’m wrong but mark this day down. If we drizzle away in this game as it looks very much like we will, then we’re destined to get the spoon.

 

[fLIP]

And on a positive note we still have burbo to come on and make 4 errors.

they are an embarrassment and a disgrace to the club, the jerseys and players past!

Ive been shouted down by his fanboys with reference to his superior tackling which makes it all seem ok.
