Has anyone seen a worse 1-7 then Manlys last night. Its NSW cup level.
I mean DCE,TURBO TOM,WALKER AND TAFUA would make it a strong back 7 but winning games with that line ups quite a showing

Are you basing that on 2016 and 2017 vs 2019 or 2018 vs 2019?

I mean last season we had no Ferguson,Lane nor Jnr. Id argue they have been our best 3 players so far this season. Atleast in our top 5 most influential players in the side.
Sure. But some of the Sharks have stepped up in the absence of the ones missing and become more influential than they would have been.

Except Elgey had a blinder without DCE there to force him into second fiddle. Merkins might not remember (because his defence isn't up to NRL standard) but Elgey was the next big thing a few years ago. He's a brilliant playmaker, and without DCE he had room to step up. They also had their big three middle forwards, and with 56% of the ball their defensive inadequacies were minimised. Plus it was against the f**king Bulldogs.

Hasler’s obviously a better coach than Barrett. He’s proved it over more than a decade. Although to be fair, Barrett didn’t coach for long enough to prove anything. Manly was pretty good in 2017 (like us) and poor in 2018 (like us). Which was Barrett’s doing?

Me, before halftime today: "Yes - our 1-7!"

Me, by fulltime today: "Yeah, Manly sucks! We rule!"
