Mid-season Report Card

[DieHardManlyFan]

Something I just can’t wrap my head around is the difference between our best and our worst games. Not only does it appear to be an attitude thing but it’s also an ability and coaching issue. My blood pressure can’t handle it lol

Our best games only come off the back of the other team having an off day or field position after a run of 6 agains or penalties. Whenever the going gets tough or we have to work our way uo the field for a win we fold like a cheap suit.....

Is it too late to change my rating from a B to a C?

Should be a D at best

 

[47MVEagle]

I reckon a C with a comment I got a lot from my teachers “approach to his work is spasmodic - he has the ability but doesn’t apply himself consistently” 😂

 

[mickqld]

At the end of the day. We're just not good at all. Definitely an F for FAIL.

B - for me

Bi polar team , up for big games , down for games we should win.

And the first sign of pressure they fold like a pack of cards.

Not a C, as they can , at times , be brilliant.

 

[Cliffycomeback]

What are everyone's thoughts on the season now we have three games left to play?

I rate our season performance a D.

All I know is, I'm going to need more than seven minutes for my end of season report…

 

[The Who]

[Brocky]

F all round, from the office to the coach and players.

DNF

Got stupider as the year progressed. Major attitude problem. Has become an embarrassment to the school. Needs counselling. Are there problems at home?

 

[jbb/james]

The team has talent but the talent is no team, which is sad as some champion team players get dragged down
Constant rumours and leaks about the lack of cohesion is not team
There is no adversity that they wont yield to
There is no excuse they wont back
And No REGRETS about it says the Kap -I -Tan

Everything needs to change

Where is the F option? Season 2025 doesn't deserve a C-

That was for the mid-season report, nearly 3 months ago!
Why not start a new one for end-of-season post mortem?
(Or even wait till end of season, then do it?)

Yeah i was wondering how many mid seasons we had
And when they start and finish

People seem to complain about unnecessary multiple threads so I thought this would work. I didn't feel the need to wait another three weeks because our season is already over.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

F for flop.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

F for flop.

I prefer F for ****ED

 

[bob dylan]

Every week we know we will either win or lose and with the poor roster we have we are doing ok.

When the Titans knock us over next week things will get interesting. But I said that before the Broncos match.

We have probably the worst half and 5/8 in the NRL who are playing behind a very average pack, which is missing some players.

C+ for me and will be lucky to avoid a bottom 4 finish with our tough run home. Hoping we don't make the 8 because will get crucified by a decent team in a pressure match.

Gee my post from June 5 aged well.

As I said back in June. FAIL!!!!

I started this year,stupidly, full of hope and optimism. We'd finished 2024 in week 2 finals, mind you an embarrassing loss. But with a fully fit squad and lots of so called experts tipping top 4. We had speedy backs, experienced halves and a solid pack. Started well but the loss to the Warriors flashed up some bad habits. Then the bombshells rained down. Paseka gone, Aloiai gone and then the nuke hit. DCE and his self indulgent , grandstand performance on ch nein. From that point on the season was torpedoed and we never recovered till now we're in free-fall disintegration. Only Manly can do this to itself again and again. We'll I'm over it. I hold no hope for future seasons. I don't care who we buy or who coaches, this fu*king club will never reach those historic highs whilst ever the current ownership and management structure remain.
I'll look to next year with zero expectations. In fact I expect bottom 4 in 2026. How pathetic that after 50 years of following this once strong and proud club it has been reduced to a laughing stock, joke rabble. It's just a pity we're not getting our first wooden spoon this year. It would be fitting tribute to the multitude of fukwits who run and play for this club.
