They have two of the best spine players in the game. Just throw them the ball and tries appear. I agree Hasler can coach but how much coaching is required for that?
Lol....talking out of your ass again.

I'm sure that the coached set plays and decoys play a huge part in tries just appearing out of nowhere

But don't forget the spine players that have played 24 Origin games between them. That team has different strengths to ours so you should expect them to play differently. They play differently than Hasler's Bulldogs team that played through the middle like ours. Idiots like you thought he couldn't coach at Canterbury as well.

Missing our main playmaker is going to mask deficiencies?!?
Storm were missing Grant, Papenhuyzen, Welch, Addo-Carr and Nelson last week yet put 48 points on the Knights. We had Moses out and we lost to a Raiders team with no Wighton who was also missing Papa’ili for most of the game. We are definitely doing something wrong with how we’re attacking and that comes down to coaching.

The Knights simply gave up last week. Anyone would've beaten them. You can't say that about the Raiders tonight. They were pumped.

But yes Melbourne have a great team. They are going to set point scoring records.

Plenty of people said it. Early this year every Manly fan was saying it until Trbojevic returned and suddenly Hasler could coach again. What a f**king coincidence.

Last weeks Melbourne team wasn’t “great”. That’s my point though. They lose all of those players and barely miss a beat. We lose Moses and struggle against an understrength side we’re expected to beat comfortably. If the team knew how to convert attacking sets into points they would have won easily. I don’t think we couldn’t solely because Moses was out. We are absolutely doing something wrong when it comes to attacking in the red zone.

We didn't have Moses last week either (or Paulo) and smashed a team full of Origin forwards, and beat them through the middle. You win some, you lose some, and often it depends whether the opposition turn up. Melbourne have an aura, with all their success and rep players, that causes teams to give up. We don't have that yet, but we're getting there. We are a better team than last year, and hopefully not as good as we'll be in 2022.

The attack in the second half of that game was similar to tonight. The Titans won the second half. We can overpower and crash through lower ranked teams by having a superior team on paper a lot of the time but it’s absolutely masking how the team is attacking.

We have a superior pack to most of them, which is why we play them through the middle. Anything else and we wouldn't be playing to our strengths.

Still Disappointed with yesterday’s loss. because we are capable serving up shit like that. We don’t have it in us to win the comp because when another team brings it, we don’t match it. Or we are not up for the game at the start of the game. Yesterday we were out enthused and we all know if we are out enthused our team doesn’t win.

out of all the players yesterday Gutho was the most disappointing. He’s been below average the last few games. We needed him yesterday in attack and he was a no show.

just a side note, Parra and Canberra are in the same hotel. f**k that must be humiliating going back to the same hotel and living alongside Pricky. They deserve that.

8 years and thats the best we can offer up???? BA totally out coached by Pricky, seriously it's time for a change new coaching assistants at the minimum. If the people in charge can't see it they aren't the right people in charge.


ChAsE tHe cOlLsIoN!!! fRoNt LoAd OuR eFfOrT aReA's!!! This isn't the f**king 70's and they are not a raffle pub side. And lol people whinging about what Gus said about us. He's a winner who knows how to win and what success looks like. Do we really have anyone at the club who knows what success looks like???

Lots of venting in this thread. Tough game and we were out enthused. Nathan Brown catches that ball and we get the chocolates.

Which try shouldn’t have been awarded to us ? Are merkins saying the Sivo corner post try or the Brown dead ball line try ?

BTW we’re still 4th at the end of this round. LOL Bea Arthurs.

Hope Mitch plays next week.

are you one of the pea brains who genuinely think it was a 68% possession game? .... did you watch the game?
quoting a stat from ch 9 & repeated by Croker at the end of the game ... pea brain & Yea I did watch it
The eels had 100% of the ball for the final 5 & a half minutes , & had a f tonne of ball.

The Raiders were awesome
weren't they ? ... pea brain :)

Who said Jake Arthur was as good as cleary ? Bullshit.

Who shouldn’t be anywhere near first grade.
Well the club have made a decision that they should not fill NSW cup with journeymen and use mostly the better kids from Flegg. They will play against men and be better for it. BA has said many times that they did not expect to have to play Jake at all this year.

I would not be averse to Dylan and Carty or Smith and Dylan next week, but do you really think it will be better ? We missed Mitch’s game on so many levels last night.
