Game Day: Manly v Tigers [Round 17, 2020]

[eagleron]

32-18 with 10 minutes left.....

And we lose.

FMD ... how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

I'm just over getting angry after every game every f***in week, our defence is the worst I can remember ever, big changes need to be made and not just on the field, totally unacceptable

 

[Nike]

I think you're all being a bit harsh, considering all the injuries and inexperienced players I'm not as worried as our past losses where we actually looked horrible. This squad has potential, they're just massively underdone when it comes to experience and match fitness - I think we need to focus on the positives, there's some real gems in the rough we may have unearthed here.

Anyway can't wait for the SBW wankfest, I wonder if they'll play his inner monologue like last time aha.

 

[Peter C]

20-6 up and you lose

bunch of pea heart piles of ****

Worse, up 32-18 with 11 to go

 

[MadMarcus]

If you put this team on in the 2008 GF when we were at 40 nil, they’d find a way to lose it

 

[The '47ers]

I've been waiting a long time to watch Hopoate and Shyster, so okay who's next in line

 

[Jerry1]

How can you fkn limp off with cramp in a first grade game fkn embarrassment., Let your team down. Fks sake..

 

[Bearfax]

Bright spots Harper, Schuster. Should have been on the field far earlier. Said it before. Des had given up on this season long ago and was just going through the motions. His eyes were on 2021 all the time.

Feels like the northern eagles.....someone bring out the ****en sandpit

 

[nightster]

It traditional that when someone criticises DCE one of his supporters will say “well, would you rather have Luke Brooks”. Yes, yes, I WOULD rather have Brooks.

I’d rather have Benji Marshall

 

[HK_Eagle]

But they were not arm grabbing and letting tigers run all over us

I have to disagree. I watched the opposition march Marty upfield as he hung on grimly around the middle. We could just not put them on their back and dominate. And often there was an offload thrown in to compound the problem. They killed us in the ruck if you have a good look at it.

I bloody hope that’s his excuse

 

[Peter C]

All I can say is that Bradman Best must have been playing some $hit football if Schuster and Hopoate were better than him coming through

Are you for real? He was the best player on the field in his debut

 

[Evo]

Shattered.,,,.....

 

[mave]

If 32 points is not enough to win a game of footy, then I give it up.

Some seriously poor defence tonight, and not something I ever thought I would see from a Des Hasler side.

 

[Jigzkiller]

Our salary cap is shot and any decent footballer wouldn't touch us we have big issues. Can't see Saab or Johnston joining us.

 

[joeboy]

We just can’t carry the **** in our team any longer and dce needs to not be captain. He did some good things tonight, but no captain should let that game slip. He just is not a captain a

Parker can just go, he just is crap and makes everything including running look so hard.

Why can’t anyone in our team tackle effectively. Des has always made sure he gets that right, so what’s happening.

We have so many players not upto scratch

We only have ourselves to blame for match fitness. Can't get match fit if Des plays the same ol slow losing pharts week in week out

 

[NYEagle]

Folks it truly is better it happens this way.

We don’t want false hope. This team is broken and Manly do not exist at the moment.

A hell of a lot has to change and losing out this year might be the best thing.

What we saw today was disgusting and I don’t ever want to see half of this squad again.

I don't know if I keep posting pictures of spud or if I'm too angry at that game.
