Rd4: 405pm Parra v Manly GAME DAY THREAD @ Brookvale 30/3/25

[Gherkin]

I'm finding watching this game quite weird.

I wasn't expecting us to even be competitive and the game is being played exactly like that. Outside of the Manly tries its been a bit of a lacklustre game really.

We're trying at least. We're just not very good at much.

A bit like last week so far

In the words of my older brother - "whores get paid, you're just a s--t"

Gee leadership less in attack

And if lane isn't a passenger lol

7 posts all negative against the new coach.

Hi Brad, grammar what we would expect form the bogan bush bum.

It's ok princess.
Don't need to apologize for the coach already

Its hard to believe Matterson is worse than these lads.

its almost as if our attacking shape doesnt include the back rower at all

WE'RE GUNNA GET THE SPOOON

You guys look like you don't even train

i am happy with the improved defensive resolve, but this attack is god awful

we're lucky to be averaging 10 points per game

We've done well to keep Manly to 12 points this half, even if we couldn't get to the white line if Pablo Escobar was racking it up for us.

There's some effort there in defence - if not exactly perfection of execution to actually put any pressure on the opposition, the effort has mostly been enough to stop the floodgates (so far).

It only seems just a matter of time until Manly inevitably blow the game open in the second half, using the wind to pin us down and gain field position, and put us under constant pressure.

I still think Manly get to 40.

Wisemantel must think we have unlimited phases ffs he could’ve been some coach for Annandale!!

 

[RustedonEel]

Do my tired old eyes deceive me? Is that the Mighty Murf running the water in the blue top for Manly?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

our edge forwards are a non factor in the attack

They aren't getting the ball

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I swear the training reports I read were about how we were practicing playing at speed. I don’t think anyone has caught a pass in motion

Looks like no one is taking control

 

[senior]

our backrowers and lussick are sh*t

would that be the TCT training reports? Those amateurs don’t know anything. It’s been proven time after time. But they are sponsored by the leagues club so they get free food at the games for positive training reports

That’s the problem, he still thinks he’s coaching rah-rah ffs

 

[piggysmalls]

Did well to pull that back in. Looks like they forgot to practice attack. So slow and predictable. Into the wind second half. Hold on to your hats

 

[Obscene Assassin]

We have a left side where the half clearly doesn't want to be on the field and a second rower who doesn't know when to time his run and is no threat in attack. No wonder there's no space for the centre and winger

To be honest they have been pretty harsh on the team in the last few weeks..

The Talking Eels podcast is sponsored by the league's club now I thought they have turned into the simps..
