It appears that way , I hate to say but scam smith was that type of player Manly need that kind of player to win a comp with the current mob there best is a top 8 spot at the moment

Completely agree. We just lack a cool, confident architect with real presence. Plenty of great troops, but really lack strong gritty leadership. Jake, Turbo, DCE, Dylan, Marty... all experienced and talented players, but none of them are great leaders.

DCE to the Dolphins anyone ??

Wasn't he playing for them tonight?

 

[Supreme Leader]

Keep watching the replay of DCE's try, I reckon he was in front of the kicker/

We will beat the doggies mate. Don’t worry about that.

It could get embarrassing. Thumped by the dogs. The dogs.

That was worse than round one and by some margin too.

We seem like we are making it up as we go along. And the Pennies and Rooters both dominated us from the word go.

I won't say we looked better in the second half tonight. The ref basically made sure the Rooters never saw the ball and even with that weight of possession, we produced next to nothing. We produced a George Peponis try and that's it. I was waiting for Kline to order the Rooters not to tackle so we could have a turn too.

Just embarrassing. Plain and simple.

100%. Just because we lifted and produced some line speed, it was still really poor football off the back of it.

Live I thought he was a couple metres off side. Replay I thought close to line ball.

It’s just so apparent in games , Manly had a chance to get back into the game with a few penalties in there 20 but couldn’t get the points then they go down and get a try
It could have been so different
Anyway it’s only round 2 they can improve I believe

I read the pre-season was all about fitness and defence? Hmmm

The fact is we have less first grade cattle than last season. I hoped though we might have still carried on where we left off but this feels more like a hard reset.

How may times do we have to return to the drawing board?

 

[The Royal Soup]

that was ****

 

[Snake]

At least when we were 0-4 last year, we had an injury crisis...what's the excuse this season?

Thought the same. Looked pretty obvious to me.

They took what would have been the winning try off the Hammer in Townsville last week for being in front of the kicker. Bunker get onto it very late. I figured they didn't give a rat's tonight because the game wasn't in the balance. You know we're in trouble when we're getting sympathy calls from the NRL Bunker…

Won’t happen. Players will turn up against twent.

Glad you think so because I was worried I had too many drinks impairing my eyesight

 

[DaveLP]

Chez rectify yourself before tying to blame others... 25 dummies early kicks when we had no possession...surely we have something better to run other then a miracle play...

Good news - according to Des, Turbo's not injured.

Happy to hear it, but I'm not sure that qualifies as good news. Is he just disinterested then?

 

[double hoops]

DES needs to change things up front.
I know he doesn't like change, but FMD.

Davey and Walker showed it's not that bloody hard if u actually have a go.

I'm going to the bar for a drink, who want's one?

Bundy and coke please
