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

[The Who]

Psssh...

There will be rain on Uluru before Manly can beat the 'riff.


Wait a moment......................................................

woohoo!

That's not rain; it's tears from Silvertails' posters.

 

[Ryan]

lost me, bye! They are taking the pi#s out of us now!

Yep, and it's funny how Numbmuts just want to do nothing about it, and accept things as they are. Ridiculous, even the fans have bought into Des' mediocrity

That is quite a nice photo.

"Hasler, who has vowed to turn things around at the Sea Eagles after a winless start to the year"
I guess this Boyle guy must be one hell of a player

 

[mave]

This is like the Aussie cricket team of the past.
Harder to get out of than to get into.

Are we sure Des isn't actually Trevor Hohns ?

 

[hozza]

What I really don’t get is the media? Why are they not asking the real questions? Why aren’t they hammering Des and the team like they did to the Broncos last year? Surely they all can’t be a bunch of lost little sheep, surely one has to ask a real question to Des..

Reporter- Do you think your position is now untenable after losing another game by 40 plus?
Des- um, ah, um

Not fuking hard.

 

[JakeyB789]

So we get flogged in our last 3 games (4 including the trial, about 12 including last season) yet we keep rolling out this dreadful team

Walker is clearly out of position at fullback - he was dally M centre of the year in 2017 and hasn’t played there since
Parker is uncoordinated and the slowest centre in the comp
Suli is incredibly lazy and hasn’t done anything since we gave him a new contract
Garrick is not up to first grade
DCE is hopelessly out of form and is starting to show his age
Croker is the worst regular first grader in the comp
Taupau is past it and an error machine
Gosiewski can’t tackle and can’t catch
Boyle is a useless plodder

Our best players to start the season have been Paseka, Aloiai, Schuster, Foran, Davey. All newer players who have actually looked hungry and have given it a go. But younger blokes like Cust, Harper, Funa, Saddler etc must all be getting the ****s watching the above getting towelled up every week and somehow holding their spots.

Panthers by 40+ and Des out the door

 

[Rafferty]

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

South’s I believe, from memory 46!

 

[Tomay]

Croker at 9 again WTF? How does this guy get to play first grade. He wouldn’t make it in 3rd tier England.

 

[Ryan]

For all those that voted "no" into asking some questions about change etc to Humphrey's and Hasler at Narrabeen, this weekends result is just for you. Enjoy. You get what you wish for.

 

[Clint]

I've looked at both teams and I'm giving us a chance.
Go Manly!!

 

[Cliffymagic]

The only justification for these selections will be a win. Not happy Jan.

Don't whinge @Clint

Des is in a comfort zone where he refuses to change his team or system. Dislike it all you want, this is what the no voters wanted? This is what they get.

Least I would have attempted to show there's SOME accountability around the place (if not the owners or club, the fans at least).

 

[Waz13]

Can we stop with the “rape analogy” when predicting we will get beaten by a lot? All this talk of no lube, tearing a new one etc is pretty offensive.

Fair call

 

[Waz13]

Surely that's a beat up about Saab. Could name have a dozen other players that should be dropped before him. Very strange? Also said Funa or Tippy to be brought in until Jorge returns?? Cannot see Jorge getting back into first grade.

Can’t you? With Des coaching I see him as a walk up start when fit!

 

[Rafferty]

I can’t believe you all didn’t know and expect this would happen, can’t wait for the game!

 

[Cliffymagic]

Both teams have hooker and fullback out so no excuses.

 

[Ryan]

I've looked at both teams and I'm giving us a chance.
Go Manly!!

Hahaha, okay, now you're just taking the piss

I'm not whinging Ryan. I just happen to not like the comment. Don't take it so personally bud. It's just a footy forum.
Go Manly!!

Money where your mouth is then? Put $20 bucks on Manly. Friendly wager? You said you thought Manly could/would win. Let's see about those convictions

Only a small bet.
