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

[Waz13]

I can still remember the days when people were getting stuck into Jake for not offering much. Imagine where we’d be without him. Probably a spoon by now.

Actually thought defence hasn't been that bad, Tuilagi and Johns combo a bit sus. If you let them have that much ball going to score points it could be so much worse given what sharks attack can do. The issue is we look worse than the tigers at the start of the year in attack right now

If Sharks got out of second gear we'd be in trouble defensively too

 

[Simonmyers11]

If we can turn possession around in the second half, we could theoretically come back into it. My bigger concern though is where the hell are points going to come from?

exactly

Cronk said it all. Cronulla's defense coming up faster than Manly’s attack.

Manly’s defense not moving forward at all.

Are these guys fit outside of DCE??

They playing wet weather footy in attack and not moving up in defence. No one with Hynes football smarts in our team. Hard to watch

A bit sus?? Those two next to each other is a recipie for disaster. I rate Brad Parker as a good defender, but even he is being made to look bad because of those two clowns inside of him.

On a positive note only 40 min of this garbage left

 

[The Royal Soup]

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

Slow, pathetic, no heart and a compete joke!!

• This is not my club!
• This is not the team i grew up watching and loving

THIS IS 100% pure and utter

Probably instructed by our defensive coach as it appears to be like this every f@c$ing week!

 

[Darknstormy]

I was about to go on a big rant about how bad we are.... But I really can't be bothered. The team doesn't deserve me to put that many words together....

Same…at the end of the day we are crap and it gets to a stage where you think ahh why bother using your energy to rant it won’t change anything..we have been a joke since 2014 and I really don’t see anything positive in the near future..even if for some reason we win tonight I will still feel the same

Watching them warm up you'd have to say no way. How can this be??!!

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Cant win without the football so what we do - kick it away early in the tackle count twice and fail to pull off 40/20 kicks and then fail to kick a penalty into touch. Dumb football. We do it week after week it does my head in.

 

[Wombat64]

Even the dog can't be bothered watching

"til next week ........ and won't that be another fun game.

yup i've got no effort for the rants too lol. Just not even close to being a team.

 

[Chunkytuna]

absolutely disgusting half with the season on the line coming off 2 weeks of floggings!!!!

This is the worst manly team I think I can remember - in terms of effort. There is absolutely no commitment, no effort and absolutely no idea at all. They can’t attack. They have no guts. They don’t deserve to wear our jersey. We should be behind by miles more than this. If sharks weren’t so **** they’d be up by 30. Our only player slightly putting in is DCE. and even he can’t kick the ball over the sideline. Unbelievable.

 

[NREagle]

Good to see Snake in the sheds.

Sorry he had to witness that half though.

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

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 you trade in a coach who prides himself for fitness for one that is slumped in a chair at Maccas, are you really surprised.

 

[Simonmyers11]

The Parker, Johns, Tuilagi side is going to continue to be targeted. Hard to look potent in attack without a ball playing hooker around the ruck and a 5/8 who looks lost in the head lights.

If Shuster is struggling with an injury, fair enough, if its just because he is a little unfit, I would rather have him out there to unlock the left edge attack and help give Tom some ball

 

[Jethro]

I miss winning

We would have a lot better chance of doing just that if we still had Foran.
