Manly's Fitness

[Ryan]

We were struggling after 10 minutes today. Literally hunched over gasping for breath. I understand we are injured (and that can't be helped), but something is dreadfully wrong with our endurance & fitness.

Apart from Parramatta, we've looked lethargic, slow and quite overweight all year.

I don't know, maybe I'm completely wrong.

It seems like but I'll forgive them if we win.
Let's go Manly

I think we are going to get toweled up today unfortunately.

I can't see where three trys are going to come from

I was thinking the same thing. We looked shot very early on, and as soon as we started getting slower, the Titans got faster. Absolutely killing us with short-side plays. New combinations probably aren't helping but there's no urgency at all. It's like the Souths game all over again. We follow up a good win with this crap.

They do look unfit out there.

That 20m restart towards the end of the half, there was like 3 manly players in the frame. Everyone else was hanging back around the goal line.

Even my wife walked passed the tv and asked what was wrong... and she doesn't care for footy.

Cherry is the only one out there with a chance really.

We look lethergic today but to be honest I think we have looked super fit so far this year in the other games

Less concerned with our fitness and more concerned with our lack of depth and talent.

Our 2008 and 2011 teams would towel up the current side most weeks unfortunately. Our wingers offer absolutely nothing.

Outside Api, DCE & the Turbos we have zero spark.

At full strength we are towards the bottom of the 8....with so many players out we are even lower and lack the class to get past teams like the titans

Jono Wright's read in defense at the death out wide, going to hit the ball away rather than defending his man really screwed us.

Yep

I just said in another thread I would have preferred a kid in his place as at least there is an upside in terms of development

Scary thing is we havent played any of the good teams yet.
