Post-Game Discussion Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

[Mark from Brisbane]

But the team is short on front rowers at the moment,even more so now with Brown picking up an injury.Lodge wasn’t fit in his last FG game,needs more time in reggies,preferably Souths reggies

Don’t disagree , BUT, we are very short on forwards , so ship him off and who do you bring in ???

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

It’s a win.
We’ll take it.
Go Manly!

Yes it’s at least that

 

[Dingo]

Well, that was certainly something. All of our games lately seem to just be a battle of who plays worse. We take any win we can get at this point though, dunno how many more we’ll get.

Positive is I thought our left edge attack looked much better with Garrick back on the wing, need to keep that.

Another fairly winnable game next week you’d hope, must win it. Not because it’ll help us play finals, but because we’ve then got Melbourne in Melbourne, Dogs at Allianz, Chooks, then Canberra. Yikes. Might lose my mind after that stretch 😂

 

[Ralphie]

I thought they would win comfortably, but I underestimated how bad they were. Mixed feelings, a loss might have triggered needed change, but a win may give us continued mediocrity 🤷🏼🤦‍♂️

Tigers made us look good tonight I think we'll be back to earth 1st real team we play
the player talks last week did nothing slow off the line slow play the ball slow everywhere
got to be the most unfit team in comp.

 

[nightster]

I think the girl scouts would have beaten us by 50 tonight

I thought Lodge was pretty good for his stint, short as it was, might give a junior a shot for BFBs spot

Navale I think is next up , but any more injuries and I’m not sure.

If we buy the young hooker from the Tigers Jazz can play as a middle instead, play Simpkin for 60 , the new kid for 20.

A wins a win but.....

Seibold is far from safe.
Tom needs to be fullback.
Garrick stays on wing.
Lehai not ready for FB week in week out.
Brooks offers pretty well nothing.
Dce is still a quality player even if he's a cat.
Ben T is a passenger. Apart from that try.
We need Talau in the 3/4 line.
GOD WE WERE LUCKY TO PLAY THE TIGERS. THEY ARE TERRIBLE.

I thought Brooks looked dangerous at times tonight

Yeah, it's a must win against Sths. Do this and that's a block of 8pts with the 2byes. We'll worry about the rest when we have to. 🤨

perhaps. Hes just very underwhelming more often than not.

A bit hard on Brooksie. Admit he's been sadly out of form recently, but he went OK tonight.

Think this win may have saved us from the spoon fir another year

On current form I can't see us beating south's/ storm/ Bulldogs/ roosters

Funny thought Brooks was one of our better players tonight. Played way better than DCE!

Set up one try beautifully ( even though Cooper Cronk wouldn’t credit him with it ).

Yeah, i get that, just going on us at Brookie again against Sths, mate, just grasping at the few straws that are left.

I still reckon there’s a surprise or two coming
