PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Penrith [Round 4, 2021]

[master blaster]

Like I said previously, the players know he wont drop them and what really scares me in the page with the team lists, is Des on the side with a huge smile as if to say,Im not changing my boys again this week Silvertails fans, I am the coach and I know what I am doing, yeah destroying our great club

Don't expect any favours from the Vidiot Box this week. Hairy Pair-of-arseholes is in control.

Thanks NRL. Looking forward to Manly finding a 19th man somewhere to match Penrith.

How does he keep his job?
I wish I could do a half arsed **** job at work and not worry about getting sacked.

 

[The Who]

We have zero depth, we have assembled a squad of Reserve, Massey, quality.

How will we know unless these 'reserve grade' players are given a chance?
We know we have 4-5 players continually selected who are not First Grade standard. We don't need to see them any more.
Our only hope is that our 'reserve graders' show they are NRL quality. If they fail we are no worse off.

 

[lsz]

Do I rationally think we are going to win? No.

Do I support this team rationally? No.





I will be tuning in expecting (based on nothing) we will win on Thursday.



It is the hope that kills you

 

[Brissie Kid]

Is Manly sticking to the same players each week to save money? Are there players with contracts that trigger higher payments if they play first grade?

 

[Fibro Eagle]

The side might actually change , according to
MITCH KEATING
DEPUTY EDITOR of Zero tackle
Not sure how reliable this guy is though

Manly Sea Eagles vs Penrith Panthers​

Incumbent trio Daly Cherry-Evans (leg), Martin Taupau (ankle) and Dylan Walker (shoulder) are all in a race against the clock to play by Thursday. Jack Gosiewski is unlikely to feature after sustaining a leg injury in the loss to St George Illawarra in Round 3.

 

[tookey]

Des needs to have a brain scan as he has too many head knocks

 

[madmax]

same ****, different week, same result

the club is a joke and a laughing stock

Panthers 21+

You forgot the coaching staff are a joke & laughing stock also.....my interest in Manly is seriously beginning to wane. I’ve supported them since the mid 70s & never have I been more despondent. I’m actually not looking forward to the weekend. I use to have withdrawals waiting for game days & now it’s become an embarrassment. It saddens me that this once mighty club has become such an abysmal failure. I’m not even sure whether it’s the players fault but I’m truly sick of Hasler & his obvious inability to be a leader & make the decisions to turn this around.

 

[madmax]

Nobody hates us and they don't care.

Other supporters actually love us now coz they know playing us is a guaranteed 2 points plus for & against improvement

 

[TagMonster]

Honestly, I don't get it. It's the se team that have been smashed every week. I understand keeping Walker at FB if Tom is coming back so why change it for one game. But why still pick that backline and back row? Surely that aren't all going to keep playing long term? Or is Haslers theory that Tom will solve all problems? Because if that's the thought process, we are worse off than it appears

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

It was laughable last year when Des kept it a secret that Albert Hopoate was going to make his debut against the Storm.I wonder if Bellamy’s plans went out the window when he saw Alberts name on the team sheet?And if a player can’t handle the media attention then how will he go playing in front of a crowd.Des,in their current position,needs to sell hope to fans,a reason to spend their hard earned on turning up to a game or watching on TV.The weekly tripe named on Tuesdays is not inspiring

Im sure Bellamy had sleepless nights

 

[swoop]

How surprising! same team

NRL Team list: Round 4 v Panthers

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Coach Des Hasler has named his squad to take on the Penrith Panthers 8.05pm this Thursday at Lottoland.

www.seaeagles.com.au

I'm over Hasler and his continued sticking with players that lack the ability to play first grade football, my grandson's under 12 team would give these blokes a run

 

[eagleron]

at this point it is all you can do...

I've run out of tissues

 

[Eagles4Life]

Do I rationally think we are going to win? No.

Do I support this team rationally? No.





I will be tuning in expecting (based on nothing) we will win on Thursday.



It is the hope that kills you

Yes it does. I have no words in seeing our team sheet for this round. Hoping against hope that Des could somehow see the irrationality of picking the same players in the same spots each week, and expecting a different result. Its a bit hard for us to support the club rationally, when Des the "mad scientist", and previously described as "Intellectually gifted with a flare for unorthodox creativity", has clearly gone mad and completely lost the plot.

Yes I will also be tuning in and expecting a win.

That probably says more about me than it does about Des.

 

[eagleron]

I'm not going to watch the game live on TV after seeing this team sheet. I will record it and fast forward through it..stop for the one try Manly will score..then fast forward through the 9 tries the Panthers score. Should take me 5 minutes all up

Sounds like a plan

 

[eagleron]

Has a team ever not won 1 match in a year? We might be 'trailblazers'

I seem to remember an Easts side going winless in the 60's, I may be wrong though

 

[mickqld]

I actually hope if this is the run on that we get towelled by 70+.
