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

[Simonmyers11]

It just seems we don't have the right puzzle pieces. We're lacking something that the true contenders have. Some kind of spark is missing. Chez giving his all.
Can they turn it around this year? Just don't know. Have we got the right coach? Don't know. Will I keep bleeding maroon and white? Yes
Here's to a good second half.

Yeah sums it up, playing as though they dont believe they can win or have the troops. A couple of tries can change that.

I feel at full strength, and some player additions such as Jake, a fit Shuster and possibly GVK, Faniu on the bench, even Myers to replace parker they could look more potent but atm, way to complacent and not enough options with the ball.

Mate it wouldn’t matter how much ball we got, we have no idea in attack. Being here live it’s so obvious how impotent our attack is. Sharks are just eating our attack up. Guac should be hooked. He’s walking into the defence. Keppie- ****house. Paseka - not firing yet. Bully - bog average. The whole team needs a massive rocket but they won’t get it. I get the feeling Seibold is one of these softly softly losers. They need some serious ****en revving up. Des would be tearing the dressing room apart based on this tripe.

Every backline just looks at us and almost nods off its so predictable. Without Shu or Foz its pass and hope.

 

[bob dylan]

Manly are the worst team in the comp by a country mile!!

Have been since round 18 or 19 last season.

 

[Alfreddo]

We can still win this by 9+

 

[Chunkytuna]

Ye

Same here @Nordburgyep

Yep. I’ve supported him too but I realised 3 weeks ago he’s a liability. I know others have said this earlier. I’m with them now.

 

[joeboy]

I do t care about the des vs seibold.

It’s the players that are the issue. No amount of coaching can fix desire to tackle, commitment to the cause, playing as a team, catching the ball, running faster than a grandmother or showing that you actually give a toss about your team and team mates

Wrong type and wrong mix of players. Squad is a mess and our great hope Tom is broken and looks incapable of getting it back again.

Pure ****e.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

12th with a bullet !!

Could be 16th next week

 

[redlineg]

They have made 1050 metres and we have made 520m

Out forwards just don’t run onto the ball.

Our defence doesn’t move up, we just hang back waiting for the attack to do what they want.

When will the coaching staff start addressing this

 

[Nordburg]

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

I’ll put my hand up and say I like him,but he just can’t be the only one playing there.They need a bit of spark

 

[Wombat64]

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.

I 100% agree. I watch most games each weekend and we are easily in the bottom 2 or 3 teams BUT our illustrious owners says "this is a premiership winning squad"..... so what would I know,.

We need a coach that is willing to make changes and not let the players dictate who runs on every week. Give the reins to Flanno.

 

[Jerry1]

Tom on the 4th again.

As many of us keep pointing out, we need a proper dummy half. It's not Croker's fault he's still our only option, but he just does not bring players onto the ball. All his passes are popped up in the air, where they float around like balloons before gravity gently brings them back down. We're sitting ducks every time.

 

[skull61]

Why don’t we put blockers in for our kickers

 

[HoldenV8]

Hey ... at least we won't lose to nil

WTF are Flannos credentials.?...took a team of drug cheats, that were also salary cap cheats to a premiership. He has nothing else

 

[Sorry]

Doin…..the feeble rock

 

[redlineg]

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

Best quote on this thread today!

 

[NREagle]

Tom on the 4th again.

Like clockwork, isn't it.

 

[skull61]

Tom on the 4th again.

Most teams seems to have their fullback run on the 5th from what I’ve seen I know Edwards does for Penrith
