Game Day: Manly v Titans [Round 5, 2018]

[COMMANDER]

Gold Coast just rolling up the middle of the field and making 80m every set. Not a lot of defensive effort going on there today.

 

[Cameron]

More bad luck with Parker's injury too. Depth is really stretched

Parker will be right next week
Apparently he was having a massive up and under and couldn’t play.

 

[The McCarrs Creek Eagle]

 

[Snake]

We probably need to get flogged a few times for Barrett to put a half in the team that can organise and kick and for Uate to finally be dropped.

 

[Robeagle]

Uate is not a first grader why do they keep picking him he does that every week

 

[Freagle]

What’s Jono Weight done wrong? Scored at one end, stopped a try at the other.

 

[mickqld]

Can't watch this. I get too aggravated . Comm games and V8s. Bye.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Manly 32
Titans 27

More like Titans 27 Manly 8

 

[Pittwater Legend]

I started confident but I know this version of Manly all too well. It will take a great effort now to pull off a victory here

 

[eagleron]

He’s only playing because there’s no one better

Surely young Wright is worth a go, Uate is useless, can't defend and he's doing nothing with the ball in hand, standing and watching as they run away to score instead of at least having a go at chasing them down, get rid of him Baz!!

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

Truth is we ain't that good. Can't win a game when you can't defend and our defence is $hithouse. Our attack today is non existent. Crocker needs to go he adds nothing bring on Hastings. We are making the Titans look like world beaters at the moment. Very frustrating to watch.

 

[brad]

We might not win this but writing us off when there is still 40 min to go . It can turn around jeezzz.

 

[winnyason]

Inconsistent **** nothing changed in 12 months. Uate been rubbish

 

[smithy]

Play the young blokes next week. get Sipley, Paseka ,T Wright and Parker in. At least they will play with sone enthusiasm.

 

[Pepi]

At least one positive is that Gosiewski hits like a mack truck in attack and defense. Looks like a good find

 

[HoldenV8]

Our backs are crap right now.

Jono Wright is 3rd choice and wouldn't be there if Parker hadn't started doing the technicolour yawn minutes before kickoff.

Walker is in his first game back and is obviously lacking match fitness.

Matty Wright at fullback......uh huh

The less said about the 2018 Aku the better. He's been crap since kickoff against the Knights.

Croker is out of his depth in first grade. Why Barrett won't give Hastings a go in the #6 is beyond me. Croker doesn't even have a kicking game for crying out loud, how in hell is he our first choice pivot?

DCE is trying his best.....but when he has made breaks he has had no support runners.

Kelly has actually been OK.

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

Croak offering zip. Is it too.late to think about a mid season signing ?
Someone like . . . . that young Dogs 5/8 . . . . Keiran something

 

[Budgie]

The whole team is just dreadfully flat, and lacking any intensity / energy. You can't just blame Uate. There's no passion at all in this performance. Anyway, struggling way too much with anxiety, so this is going to be the second game I've turned off in many, many years.

Hang in there Ryan - but I agree about the game - turn it off.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Starting to look like vs Canberra in Albury in 2015.

What’s Jono Weight done wrong? Scored at one end, stopped a try at the other.

He should be in the team every week.

Just as well for those try saves on the left side.

An alternate translation of Winterstein is ‘what is the point?’

 

[Snake]

Matt Wright is too flow to play FG, Uate has hands like feet and Jono Wright (although error free today) is an ordinary reserve grader. The recruitment at Manly is not up to scratch. When injuries strike, throw some athletic kids in with something to offer, instead of taking the safe approach of picking no frills reserve graders. I'd rather die trying, than fail without so much as a shot fired.
