Parra v Manly LIVE game day thread, March 18, 2018

[Noise]

how does a coach f**k up round 1 selections, make changes and then be worse in round 2?

 

[Incorrect]

Best way I can sum it up

When we have the ball it looks like they have 15 players on the field
When they have the ball it looks like we have 11 players on the field

Absolutely, was thinking the exact same thing

Also looks like our halves have Parkinson's disease ...

 

[forward pass]

Bottom line - they should not even be out there. Disgraceful that sides have to play in 37 degree heat. Someone will die if we keep doing this. Player welfare is all that matters. Stuff the TV deal. They should have postponed the game. Our players could take a fortnight to recover. It is not acceptable.

Bevan French is a winger. He isn’t a fullback’s arsehole.

I thought he was a bigger liability on the Wing than he was at Fullback, but now I'm not so sure.

 

[Oscarman]

It's the lack of application and care that shits me.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

No mate we have another 40mins of this.

FFS!!

 

[strider]

All you lemmings need to stop jumping off the cliff

King Gutho will come back soon and make everything alright

 

[hineyrulz]

A cushie draw sure didnt hurt

We had a dream draw, last year we overachieved IMO.

And we didn’t improve the side at all.

Mannah and Scott should of be. Retired instead they are made co captains.

Haha the heat excuse. Manly are thriving in it

Well I’m not going to slit my wrists (too jaded for that) & won’t single out any players as we have been terrible as a team...But that wasn’t 1st grade standard.
I appreciate its only round two but I’m not going to begrudge any fan for spitting the dummy over that half of complete crap the Eels just served up.
This is a continuation of last weeks performance.

 

[EelsFan05]

I've tried to remain positive with Norman. Im sitting behind the southern try line were he is defending and he is nothing more than a shirt grabber in defence. He's a one trick, front runner.

 

[Chipmunk]

Probably at least half of ours on their try line, most for them are coming out of their half

We've had about the same amount of penalties coming out of our half as what they have. They've just been better with the opportunities.

 

[Eelogical]

Even then we embarrass ourselves in attack. If Arthur gave them a spray last week, these guys are really gonna cop it at half time.

If they didn't get it right this week through the post game one on ones, training and the likes I doubt anything said in the dressing room in a ten minute time frame is going to magically fix things.

It doesn’t seem to have stopped Manly.......

Great call to run into the breeze lol.

They haven’t reacted. Not sure they’d react again

Their players seem to be coping

no hair and two first names

Timmy the tool man Taylor’s strategic move. That breeze couldn’t be worth 30 points.

 

[Kornstar]

Yet we have twice as many penalties as Manly.

It is 6-6. At least when you lay the boot in do it with facts!

 

[Parra]

we'll be last on for and against after this shit sandwich

have you seen a display of footy in the first two rounds that deserves to be behind us?
