Trying to be positive but turbos injury might take some pressure off for the finals and harden this team for next year. It’s been one hell of a season to be a manly supporter and watch these guys dig in. Reminds me a lot of 2006. Onwards and upwards. Toff Hoppa Thompson back next year. I’ll get shot down but fainu being first string will be a godsend. Start with the bloke score some points and get someone on to hold the ruck. APIs obvious tenacity has made it hard to keep him out.

What a ****ing joke of a night
Hope Des rips them a ass hole
API has to go to reserve grade, he is way to slow passing and clunky

And that ****s out for and against too
Yep. Been a great year. Injuries plagued us all year and they’ve finished us off tonight So much good after the Barrett years
I know Tommy off took wind out of sails but Thommo is a huge loss. Our intensity was way down in defence
Looking forward to Toff having a good year next year and be keen to see Funa get a go
If Tommy’s a rupture he misses a chunk of next year too
They were good tonight. Never a chance

Probably shows how far off we are. ALOT of work to be done before finals. Tom is a massive blow on top of Thommo last wk. If Gosie and Boyle are gone too then wow we are in strife. Elliott to cover Tom. Probably perrett to come in and ill throw in a smokey off the bench - Cust. We need spark and we are lacking with Walker at 5/8 and now with Tom out we need a bit of X factor. Pick the best 17 available and in my eyes Cust could offer that spark!

Storm play a disciplined game & with that they’ll be premiers unfortunately.
Big shout out to all the Manly supporters that turned up tonight to cheer the boys on.
How Des (and staff) works with the team after this loss is probably the most important of the year and I back him to make this an even better side.

ok, we played like absolute ****e, we deserved to take a pasting tonight, but the slowing down of the ruck has just destroyed the game, its just not enjoyable, last nights eels and broncos game had two teams i couldnt care less about but the contest was aweseome... its meant to be enjoyment, its a freakn snoozefest at the moment.....such a shame because played at pace and no holding or slowing down the ruck ALL game is what makes this game miles ahead of any other game
