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

[Joshuatheeel]

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.

As expected....

Yep, I heard BA before game tell, matterson to offload off the ground, Cartwright to kick, Moses to throw a stupid pass, Gutho to throw a stupid pass, Sivo to knock on etc etc etc...

 

[Noise]

Go Manly!

I put $30 on them so I’ll take the $90. Only two bets I’ve made on eels games were against us; the dragons game and this game. Cleaning up.

We played shit.

One could argue that Manly made us play shit.

Serious question, what do you think they say to Waqa regarding defence?

We don't play footy. Sides attack inside their own half. We play just a shit style of knuckle and grind.

Yet the score says we have the third best attack in the comp, and the third best defence, and are running third.

So what gives there mate?

Good stuff! I'll be up that way soon enough, sounds like your shout. I'll have the croc burger, and make it snappy.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

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.

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.

Yep......that was it!!

Completed at 80 % and made more metres, all our drop was in their half.....how many sets did we complete in their half...

You can set your watch by these sort of performances.

Once every 5-6 weeks + every week in September.

I feel thats dumb as f**k

Oh yeah?
Keep in mind I am probably the best judge of rugby league then any other person on here. I've been telling everyone for weeks we have just bashed garbage sides and do not play any footy. We lack speed and skill and good sides will expose us.
BA needs to make changes otherwise it will get to late in the season.

f**k of merkin

 

[Gary Gutful]

In all seriousness. I couldn’t give a f**k whether we won today. Penrith and the Storm are streets ahead of us. Would need both of them to fall on their own swords.

Expecting sack BA / our side is shit posts to flow to night....and Manly will be talked up!!

But we lost the game as we didn’t build pressure.

the effort was great, we made metres, we were physically good

We gave manly hardly any field position.

but from my count we gave the ball away in the manly’s half approximately 12 times with stupid decisions.....you don’t win games doing that!!

we weren’t patient, Gutho and Moses never took charge, they played to frantic. They deserve a berating from BA...

this is a game we need to learn from, move on, focus on South’s, but learn from it!!

BTW this game was not like the dragons where were never in it, tonight we just played f**ken stupid.

Very disappointing but a good wake up call!!

Agreed with everything except the effort. Players gave effort when they had ball in hand. But that’s not professional first grade effort. There was very little attempt to get into position, or support ball runners, or pressure Manly, or even to communicate with our teammates.
If that’s the worst we play all season, fine but that lack of effort is very disappointing.

f**k of merkin

Eat a panther c**k.

I don't think they can say much or they would have sorted it by now.

 

[Bandwagon]

Honestly though if I'm gonna scapegoat, it's all on Waqa, that aint first grade standard.

Yes if Marata back next week. Maybe Oldfield, he's a bit on the vanilla side like Opacic but Waqa is a dumb f**k. Penisini so not ready.
