Game Day: Manly v Sharks [Round 7, 2020]

[johnperi01]

Don’t know how fans would think we could win by 20 with this team; all our strike players are injured, and DCE woeful in attack.
Unless Des takes a punt on Schuster, Hopoate, we will struggle to score points.

 

[globaleagle]

Well that was an interesting half wasn’t it??

FMD, I go Bush last weekend and miss a great win , come back and bingo they play like ****!!

Maybe I should head Bush until about October.

I think we've established that's the case many a time

lol

 

[Waz13]

Missing Tom in attack.

We are missing spark inside their 20.

Hmmm

We haven’t looked particularly good in the opposition 20 with Tom imo. Again our ends to sets are appealing when on attack.

 

[Jethro]

First Half Set Restarts
Manly: 5
Sharks: 3

 

[The Royal Soup]

Full time will be:

sharks 34

manly 10

 

[XV-1]

55% possession and down by 12. Hmmm

Would be nice if Sharks were called offside thou - been doing it all day ref!!

Turning point - linesperson decides to be 2nd ref and reverse a penalty against DCE - total BS

lol

I know BUT really WTF!!!!!!

Appalling not appealing in any way lol

 

[Simonmyers11]

Still a half to go, only down by 12 and we have been poor.

We can still do it, no wrist slitting yet

Dont think we can do it without tom. Walker and big Suli are too big a loss. Walker defends much better than crocker who either races up or just misses the read altogther, garrick offers nothing at full back. Where are we going to score the points. Will have to come off the back of big charges from AFB or Marty, but even then Levi goes himself when he should pass, or when he does pass, DCE already has two players on him.

 

[Cioran]

One of the Foxtel commentators said that DCE appeared off his game today. Looks like business as usual to me.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

It's going to be ok, I'm hearing Cam Smith is about to address our side in the sheds via video link.

😉

 

[stoodamire]

My only reasoning why Garrick is playing fullback is that he doesn’t want Funa marking against Dugan.

 

[HK_Eagle]

DCE had a garbage half. His forwards did all the hard work and laid him a platform in the first 10 minutes of the match with the refs also giving us a little help, and he just failed miserably to step up and execute. We have allowed a Sharks team that has been pretty poor and lost this season to slowly build and find some confidence. It is infuriating given the big players we have out. If we had no name forwards out there struggling to find any meters you could perhaps understand him struggling, but that was not the case at all. Croker has made him look pretty ordinary to be honest.

Well I don't think we can play much worse so 12 points isn't too bad . Seriously there's no leadership again from the $1mil man

 

[davohan123]

last week has clearly taken it out of us.

sharks looking the best they have this year.

yes we are missing turbo but DCE is having a shocker, no sugar hungry.

we just look 20% off our game, can't see us coming back.

 

[The Royal Soup]

DCE is a steaming turd

we are standing flat in attack and letting the sharks meet us when we catch the ball

defence is soft as ****

 

[globaleagle]

then just cut dce outta things and swing the ball left where we scored our try!

step 3 - profit!

 

[The '47ers]

Fuuk me is this a Bronco or Sea Eagle forum, talk about quickly turning on ourselves!

 

[swoop]

Elliott should move to fullback, Garrick has been caught out of position a few times.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well I don't think we can play much worse so 12 points isn't too bad . Seriously there's no leadership again from the $1mil man

Just embarrassing really, you get a game like last week full of grit and then they turn up and play like the Mona Vale under 8’s the next.

How very “ Manly” that is .
