Post-Game Discussion Manly v Titans [Round 9, 2023]

[Frogz]

The question was if they did have these players .
And we all know that they bring out the best in all their players

And my question would they have them.

 

[BOZO]

Lower our Legendary clubs Great standards and we stand for nothing Great

No Manly supporter should put up with Mediocre performances like tonight's

 

[redlineg]

Titans were making 20-30 metres extra per set than us for the whole game

You are 100% correct
Now our Coaches need to figure out why and how to correct this otherwise no point turning up to games if you players are not up to the challenge

 

[BOZO]

And my question would they have them.

The point of the matter is those coaches have a proven record of getting players to over achieve and play above their weight .

I have read your posts for a while. You are right! You are right on most occassions despite the flak you receive. Slow backs get exposed in the NRL. As do lightweight halves. We need speed. Speed kills!

So??? Those coaches get players to play to their full ability. We buy players who havent got that ability oin them. They dont accept mediocrity and expect 110%. WE dont have that at all and havnet for many years. WE havent bought anyone of note for years and relied on a backyard that isn't achieving. Penn has dragged the club down since 2014 when he took full control. But he does have a new centre of excellence named after him. How good will Mr Penn look at Vegas next year though....FMD this guy has to go. This club will not achieve again under his full control.

 

[Thewestisbest]

We also need a coach who can get the players up.

 

[Thewestisbest]

So???

Fairly self explanatory what Bozo posted.

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

Urgh that was dispiriting. Obvious that the Titans were going to come out firing after last week, but we still totally failed to match their energy and determination. Thoroughly beaten tonight, plenty for us to think about but not too many clear answers....

 

[Thewestisbest]

So???

Seifold isn't one of those coaches.

It's not hard, you just need a dummy half to know which player to give it to and deliver good service. Our middle forwards have actually been going ok with their running but they are getting swamped because of slow/poor passing from dummy half. Croker is all heart and you have to love him for it BUT he will never be a good hooker as long as he has a hole in his arse

Getting flack I have no issue with . No big deal . I dont have a big ego for that to worry me

I am a very proud and Passionate Manly supporter though and what I do have an issue with is
My Legendary club not making finals and getting thrashed

Hand jobs in the warm up?

 

[47MVEagle]

Absolutely woeful performance.

Apart from Paseka, the rest of the team should hang their heads in shame.

An absolute rabble!

 

[Frogz]

Seifold isn't one of those coaches.

Players are not those players either. Pretty self explanatory.

 

[Alfreddo]

Swap Croker and DCE. I would love to see that

Not hard to agree with that

 

[Rafferty]

I don’t know why but this loss hurt more than other losses

Reality setting in…..

Whatever improves the scoreboard!

We did suffer with Croker tonight. As always, tough as in defence, but in those conditions you need a good dummy half passer; somebody who can fire off rocket wide passes to get your forwards wider on the edges. It’s critical to have that in wet weather conditions to stop the defence compressing and gang tackling close to the ruck.
