Game Thread vs Manly

[Avenger]

Harrison will be a good signing next year he played well

Thought the same thing. He shits on Buhrer.

x2, don't see the wrap Buhrer. Harrison and Lussick should both add plenty for us next year.

 

[ethan tremblay]

Well I'm proud of them. I'm nothappy that we lost or that our coach has failed to assemble a competitive side BUT I am very proud of those 17 guys today.

Also happy with the two Manly signings.

you are very easily pleased then:shock:

mediocrity will not get us anywere it's not an excuse, these 17 players are professional footballers take the titties out of there mouths and be men not boys

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

We were absolutely owned out on our right side.

However, I guess sometimes you have to cop that when you have a pair of young guns out there who still have a lot to learn.

Very disheartening effort today, though, and seriously, Willie Tonga needs to be punted.

x3 - i just don't get the buhrer thing at all - not shit, but i just don't see much

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Ricky Stuart will be taking notes. He is about to sign a two year deal at Parra.

How do you know?

 

[strider]

i am just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of putting up an appaullingly disgusting effort for the first half then turning up when hte opposition clock off

it doesn't make up for the awful shit first half ... the problem is you have to walk a tight line between telling them how shit they were and the 2nd half doesn't make up for it and trying to encourage them with what they produce (after the game is done and dusted)

its very disappointing when you see the effort in the first half ..... clearly they tried too hard at training again last week

the only thing Tonga gives us is defence. Matuia gives us that, some mongrel and a whole lot of effort playing in the same position. Blair was particularly awful today. is defence was shocking, but the thing that was particularly tragic was the nothing kick on the 3rd tackle when we are in the Manly red zone. it was nice to see the guys trying in the second half, but I agree that Manly definitely clocked off. the two debutants both went really well, which is a great positive.

 

[strider]

yeah i agree - i think mullaney and smith both had a real dig and showed up alot of our other players ... very pleasing

did they say smith backed up from playing for wenty?

 

[Eels Dude]

I don't see what's to be proud of. The defensive effort was terribler in the first half and that's what led to us being down 34-0. Still not sold on either Harrison or Lussick. They were made to look better by the players around them today. Individually neither are that good especially Harrison. I'd even go as far to say Lasalo is a better player than him.

 

[MrT]

He is a bench player at best a long with the most of the backrow that is at the club

Bench player???? if the rest of the mob were on par with him and actually understood him, we'd look a lot better. he's our best attacking forward, has great hands.

Totally agree. He just needs some confidence to pull the fancy stuff out before we get to 30+ behind.

Being our best attacking forward isn't hard to be, it's fine looking good with the ball in hand when the other team has put the cue in the rack.

Yes strides, played yesterday I think.

Paulo would be lucky to crack a bench spot at any other club in the NRL right now. He looks good for us compared to the rest of our mob, but that really isn't saying much. He has some talent but is far from a complete player.

 

[ParraSteve]

Is it me or did Nathan smith provide faster service from dummy half than keating ever has?

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

He passed off the ground, Steve.

 

[Gronk]

Is it me or did Nathan smith provide faster service from dummy half than keating ever has?

Yes but we missed MKs Buderus like rauns from DH.

Geeze mate. We were without Keating and Hayne. Storm were without theirs last night and they got pumped.

Most of those blokes who played today were playing for Wenty not so long ago.

I'm just saying that we were down on troops and apart from silly errors that gave Manly field position we did pretty good.

I'm proud of they way that Ryan, Blair, Sio, Paulo etc played. Also I thought that Sandow and Hindy did good.

Burt needs to swap for Morgan and we'll be ready for the Dogs.

 

[eel01s]

I still can't believe the one on one missed tackles, the dumb play the balls, the forward passes etc. that led to the 40 nil scoreline.

It was embarrassing. WTF is up with our players???
