Rd11: Parra v Manly GAME DAY THREAD at BankWest 23/5/21

[T-Boon]

Any team with a Turbo type player could win any game. We dont have anyone in his league. I'd try Dyl Brown at centre or fullback to see what he has. Some think he is fast. Put him in a position where he can show it.

 

[Bandwagon]

The ladder right now????????

 

[Chipmunk]

What percentage of games do you expect this squad to win?

Enough to finish Top 4, which we still should do.

But we won't beat either Panthers or Storm at least in the finals, one of who were likely to play first week of the Finals.

Then we'll meet someone with some momentum going into the Finals, and that will be us out the back door second week of the Finals as usual.

Waqa deadset cannot be picked next week. He is just diabolical. Hoping that the judiciary makes an example of him and gives him a 2 1/2 year suspension for that high tackle.

Bartur needs sacking if Blake gets picked again.

 

[strider]

I know we all wanna lay the boot in , and probably deserved. We just werent there today

But Manly did very good i thought. Their defense is rock solid. And they have plenty of attacking options. Their cheap forwards play above their salary. Schuster is a very good player. Their cheap backs do their jobs ... they will struggle with the cap but they are very good atm

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I

If Waqa Blake plays about 30%

Are you aware of his win rate at our club?

 

[lucablight]

This result isn’t entirely surprising. We had 64% and 61% of possession against the Roosters and Warriors and failed to put them away until the final five minutes. When you have that much possession you should be winning comfortably and not just falling over the line. Goal line attack is a huge issue and I don’t even need to mention they right hand “defence”.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Maybe we should hope our greats die game day from here till the end of season....

I hope they save it for the finals.

It's good waqa's pace added to the team.. Rushes out, touches the player and then lets go. Good to watch.... if you were a Manly fan.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Happy enough to file that under “just one of those games”. Our attitude was fine, completed fairly well but the crucial plays weren’t there. We seemed to actually lose all momentum when Manly were reduced to 12 in the first half. We go again next week.

 

[Noise]

Are you aware of his win rate at our club?

Yes. I’m also aware of his defensive decline. How many games do you think we will win with Waqa in the side?

 

[T-Boon]

Are you aware of his win rate at our club?

90%? no wait, that is his missed tackle rate.

 

[Bandwagon]

Moses failed to step up there, our forwards did their job, Jarthur struggled.

We need Brown back, I DGAF for his lack of TA's or LBA's, he provides a point of attack and his D is exceptional.

 

[T-Boon]

A lot of it has to go on the coaches shoulders. We still look garbage compared to the good teams with the ball in our hands. How many passes go behind the intended reciever? You never see Melbourne do that. Brad Arthur is too dopey to spend time on attack.

Haha, my bad.

Nice pick up!

 

[Eelogical]

Absolute pretenders, as soon as another side stick it to us we go back to our bad habits.

Side to side shit attack, pushing passes and just plain panicking.


Wanker Blake he went full Carige, anyone who thinks he is a better option than Marata need to stop sniffing glue. People will say it's a good wake up call, i just say it's more of the same when it really matters. Our attention to detail when it matter's is still really poor and after 8 years you would hope the coach has it all sorted. Sadly he hasn't got us close.

This is the hineyrulz we all know, but you've mellowed out somewhat.

 

[Gronk]

We played shit.

 

[Gronk]

we go back to our bad habits.

Side to side shit attack, pushing passes and just plain panicking.

We did and were really bad. But we've beaten some good teams this year, so bad day at the office.

Cherry and the Alphabet Bros were exceptional.

Go Manly!
