No Heart

[Eagle 1]

To many ball handling errors killed us unfortunately.

Sutton was also at his dickhead best, obscure rullings, a weak as piss 6 again on the 5th. Damage was done, and all in the first half.

 

[Lyons2beaver]

We got beat by 16? The turning point was a flat pathetic effort in the first half from a substandard pack with a captain who has checked out. In reality there was so much luck in that first try ,shark error , miskick ny Ola that fell to Saab. Individual effort from Koula for the second after a DCE brain fade.Otherwise we had nothing.

Anyone who thinks that pack with an uninterested DCE and mortally wounded Tommy is making the eight needs to reconsider.

Our pack is the worst in the comp. Our bench is the worst in the comp and we have no first grade standard hooker in the entire club.

And lastly .., I doubt Jake makes any sides starting side at prop and he is definitely not a bench player.

Hard to swallow I know but these are the facts.

Totally agree, no top eight and even if they did they go straight out I would rather they come second last now which hopefully would force their hand to make changes,
We have been pathetic for too many years now…

 

[Eagledare2dream]

DCE, OLA, Garrick, Tom, Saab, Bully usually my favourite, were all piece of furniture. Best game by Simmo, Burbo get more angry mate, Koula trys, TKO against AFB was well done over all CRAP game all round.

 

[Buddy Love]

Five day tun around. I'm selling a special cowboy lube blend for next week now ....... Get on it early .... I find early lubing helps.

How early do you advise sir?

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

EVERY other team coming from behind has gone on to Win .... except Manly

To correct you - St George came back from 14 - 0 to level at 14all, but lost to the Warriors.

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

If Daley picks Tommy T he needs his head read.

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

Only one of our forwards ran more than 100m. Taukeiaho = 107m.
There in lies the problem.

+ why do we have a winger on the bench??? And we dont use him.
Seibold has no idea.

 

[God]

If Daley picks Tommy T he needs his head read.

Hope he does so he doesn't play for us

Yes we go beat by 16, how doesn't that affect my comment?

We didnt play well, but we had early momentum in that second half, we looked on top and Brooks breaks through, we score there and we lead and maybe we go on with it.

Following the NRL this year, it is evident more then ever that momentum is hugely important.


So yes, that was a turning point.

 

[DieHardManlyFan]

No heart, scared to get into the grind and no idea how to play if plan A doesn’t work. Spoony keeps referring us to a top 4 team but I can’t see the evidence. We played a top 4 team today and got found out. For years now we have just been flat track bullies, if everything doesn’t go our way we loose. I honestly think we need to scrap the playbook and reinvent ourselves as a defence team with high standards, the superstars in our team will sort out attack. I’ll always bleed maroon and white but supporting this team hurts

 

[Disco]

Yeah, that wasn't good. Neither was Garrick gifting them a try. Or any number of passes Haumole threw that led to turnovers in possession (like the one before the Garrick fumble). But tempted as I am to blame one play or one player, really, it was all of them. As a team, we were woeful and simply didn't deserve to win. If Player X hadn't have f**ked up, you can bet your life Player Y would have done so two minutes later.

Oh yeah, the performance wasn't great and that moment in on itself doesn't lose us the game but we had a heap of momentum at that point and we blew it.

Shame, but onto next week.

 

[NYEagle]

Too many stupid passes.

Our fullback in about 40% fit and a shadow of what he was?

Our forwards just cant do it week in, week out. We need at least 3 new forwards urgently.

On a positive note I think we have addressed our hooker issue.

(1) would it not be funny if 40% Turbo is selected for origin?
(2) on the hooker issue when is froggy back?

Need a Manly man as coach.

I get that but in the grand scheme of things it happens so often. Last sharks game was exactly the same. We get behind at halftime we lose and that’s been happening for years.
That comes down to deeper issues than Brooks messing up a pass. We rately win the big moments and it’s been happening forever.

 

[KNUCKLES]

We need a big clean out including the coach. Get Brad arthur in before he gets the bears gig. Buy siebold, jurbo, brooks, and Garrick a ticket to perth

 

[Jerry1]

I didn't watch it as was on my way back from a day out getting muddy at yengo national park. I listened though. IT sounded like we have some real motivation problems. The coach needs to get a grip of this mob & fast.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

It's been a problem for this team for a while inconsistentsy
Regardless of different players and coaches
Except for the nucleus of this team ,DCE ,Tom and Jake
Tom always injured
Jake not as good as he once was
DCE has shown many times he can't lead and control a game but can win a game on his own
They are leaders in a team that don't always perform consistently

 

[maxta]

To correct you - St George came back from 14 - 0 to level at 14all, but lost to the Warriors.

Correct me Miss school teacher - fact is it was terrible to not go on with that momentum

 

[maxta]

That butchered try between Brooks and Koula was a turning point

The game
But how the F do you not aim up defensively from that point if you want to be a true contender?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

And lastly .., I doubt Jake makes any sides starting side at prop and he is definitely not a bench player.

I applauded moving Jake to prop but didn't think he'd be left out there for 72 minutes! I thought he'd play shorter minutes like he did last year in SOO, make more use of our mobile bench.

Meanwhile Waddell only played 21, Bull 36, Brown 24.

No idea what is going on but our forwards were a lot better v Penrith 2 weeks ago.
