1. Outstanding effort all night - unlucky not to get the win.
2. Macguire cost us the game. The drop ball after the Hayne 40-20 and then in the lead up to the matching winning try he came up for nothing and left our line staggered. The quicker he retures the better.
3. FFM was magnificient all nigth. When he was spelled, we lacekd the go forward.
4. Loko had a great game - his best in first grade.
5. Still unconvinced about Morgan. He is a work in progress - he had some bad mistakes like hogging the ball when Atkins was open and dropping the ball inside our 20 but he did have the final pass to the Horo try and he did chase down Matai.
6. Burt was horrible all night. bad kicking game and he was not alert for the Stewart try.
7. Keating sucked from dummy half.
8. Hayne was pretty good- he throws beautiful passed from both sides and has an awesome kick.
9. Ryan Phelan should he replaced. He is horrible.
10. Rfes were ordinary - they let Manly players lay all over our players in the ruck

Burt should not be the goalkicker next year. Sandow should.

Webb was awful, Reni to return next week.

I wouldn't re-sign Casey, would rather Humble for 2012.

I don't like Atkins. He is way too slow and piss weak. Grothe would have scored a few out wide tonight.

Morgan needs to bulk up but it wont matter as Esi Tonga will take his place.

Robson had his usual rocks and diamonds game.

I thought Mannah was quiet

Ben Smith should always start.

Horo was awesome.

Hayne should have shown more urgency for that last try. He shits me with some of his laziness.

WOW.

Talk about reactionary.
One of the dumbest posts of the year.

Come on A, you're smarter than that!!!

great effort from our boys!

heartbreaking loss but will build character.

thought robson had a solid game actually

Ben smith and horo were great

didnt see anything of webb...reni next week against canberra

allgood and shack played very well

tbh we were very good and lost a hard game and i feel this is the game that will make us turn the corner

on casey costing us the game...no he didnt

it was a good tackle from rose...very desperate.

casey played very well. ran the ball more and looked sharp

keating is starting to play better footy. very sharp out of dummy half

morgan and loko both becoming good centres. im liking the look of morgan more and more each week. like any rookie he has mistakes but is a solid footy player. just needs a bit more size imo

What did he actually do to suck? Cause from what i saw he was strong; Distributed the ball perrfectly and solid in defence!
For an ab-lib game, he did what was asked out of him!

Matt Keating would struggle in the NSW Cup. He is a reserve grade player. Waste of salary cap space. I cant believe he was the first player Kearney re-signed

I cannot see that MK is the only answer for 2012. I reckon that mystery signing could be a very good 9.

I'm pissed Suity. Still too many pissants in our team. What the f**k were they thinking during that last play ? Run for f**k sake!!!

Commentators had it right, Manly wanted it more......i long for the time that we "want" it more........consistently, not just a few games a year.........

We look terrible out of dummy half. The whole area around the play-the-ball, either in attack or defence, needs to improve. We dont go forward fast and hard enough at the right time and we let the opposition go too fast around the play the ball at the wrong times.

Morgan isnt a first grade centre. Maybe in two years, but not now.

We shall see. I think next week will be the real indicator. To be honest myself I can see us going either way next week....up or down by 20 at half-time

If we dont get a good win next week I can see us dropping off the pace from there and finshing bottom 4

I thought we were very good tonight. A few too many errors but otherwise I was surprised at how good we were.

That last try just came from lazy cover on the inside and great support from the Manly players.

We'll f**ken belt Canberra next week.

That's because f**king Macguire decided to race up the line to clutch thin air and leave Loko exposed

Anyone would think we got lapped tonight, Manly are not the top side ATM for nothing. We did enough to win tonight, unfortunate not to get the points. Couldn't buy a penalty two calls cost us big time before half time and the pass from Cherry Lips looked forward. Plus Burt kicked 1 from 4.
