Round 18 vs Sea Eagles

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Why are we such a dumb football team?

Every game we invite the opposition, we disrespect the ball, we don't read the match.

We’ve been dumb for the past 10 years. It’s f**king frustrating. I thought Hook would have coached the dumbness out of them by now. But nope. They’re still as dumb as ever.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Yeh that's correct, i took your comment as a sledge and having a dig.
Anyways, apologies, i fired back with anger when i shouldn't have.
I am frustrated at this team and agree they've been very ordinay tonight.
Not sure where they go from here but it's frustrating to watch. Sorry bud

Thanks mate. All good. I feel your pain. I didn’t mean to have a dig at you. Sorry if It came across that way.

What an appalling second half display. At least Hook could make a lot of people happy if HE NEVER PLAYED COREY NORMAN AGAIN!

 

[St Tangles]

Put Ramsay on Manlys wing and he looks better than Saab.

They beat us in the forwards and halves

 

[Number of the Beath]

All we need to do for 2022 is replace our entire forward roster and we'll be a shoo-in for a spot in the top 12.

Effort has been evident but inconsistent. Sims and Hunt clearly fatigued from Origin. Manly were much better at covering for their key players being out than we were tonight. I really think the Vaughan incident has killed us now. Felt we really missed those 5 players tonight. Don’t see us coping with 4 more out over the next two games. Seems we have bought some likely forwards for next year and some young promising backs but for me 2021 gone and now look to 2022.

 

[Unsainty79]

It’s hard to criticise when our completions and continual love of giving away 6-agains, but McCullough is so profligate in attack. I know he tackles and tackles but he is struggling to offer anything.

Tactically to continue with the crash plays was bizarre to say the least. We looked half OK when we spread the ball. I’m not sure what happens at half time but we keep imploding up early on.

I know we have a scarce amount of outside backs but we really need to get Jack Bird the ball. He needs to come one in and play in the back row.

 

[FlameThrower]

That’s all she wrote - team head together with band aids and will be tough to navigate through this self inflicted mess..

30 th to 60 th minute .
Kerr's drop ball from a kick when in top attacking position.
Kerr sims and bird×2 drop balls.
Given an even share in the early part of 2nd half is where the boys stuffed it.
Schuster was a big difference unfortunately for us.
Saab did nothing and Garrick too kick goals only .
Tommy makes them look good .
Saab got hammered every time he got the ball.
Norman to rest and maybe dufty or clune to 5/8 v titans.

 

[Blood&Bandage]

I hate that one on one Steal rule. I think if at any time there is more than one player in the tackle you can’t steal. Just seems to be a bad look for mine

League players should watch some rugby.

They’d learn body position, especially when close to the line. Both in defence and attack.

AND ball security…HOLD THE BALL!!!

 

[OneEyedDragon]

Poor defence and an unacceptable number of handling errors in the second half just killed us.

 

[Illusion]

Does Hook have a plan B because plan A ain't working ......

 

[Mickthedragon]

Thanks mate. All good. I feel your pain. I didn’t mean to have a dig at you. Sorry if It came across that way.

Mate, we're all feeling it. I should be calling them the idiots haha.
Or is it still us for watching them and bickering about them week in, week out?
f**k it's hard

 

[Dragsters]

Very disappointing that 2nd half.

It's gonna take some proper coaching to get us back to good.

Camp life presents an opportunity for some unorthodox coaching methods.

Hook, Elliot and Gentle really need make it work for the team.

Then the players need to really buy in.

Oh and cut out the errors...

 

[Generalzod]

How could a blatant knock on be given a try?

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

f**k it's hard

Hahaha…Nah…we’re not idiots….we’re more like gluttons for punishment.

Don’t disagree, I just hate it when three players are in a tackle then two orchestrate to fall off so one can then steal the ball. I just think its gamy and a not a good look for the game.

 

[Ghostrider22]

Pathetic just pathetic so much for giving back to the supporters and sponsors and coaches. They still owe everyone massively.

Spot on

multiple 6 agains every fking week kills us

How long do we persist with Ramsey. He is not a winger and has offered close to nothing. Beale and rava surely are our wingers at full strength.

For example: he ran for 21 meters tonight for a winger. Wingers are normally in your top 5 meter gainers.

He has been like this for a while. Feel sorry for him, but for me he cant stay in the side.
