LIVE GAME Round 16 vs. Storm

[Mistymuzzle]

Talau peeling the oranges tonight? Why even bother having him on the bench. Matamua & James in for Seyfarth & Talau next week

Says someone who has obviously never watched a lower grade team.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Next week either Smith or Reilly needs to play 5/8

I think you might find both of them in the halves next week with Smith 7 and Reilly 6, and Toa back to centre.

 

[GCfan]

It was INSANE! weakened one position to experiment with another.. Imagine trialling at 5/8 outside a halfback that waddles slowly sidewise before throwing the ball 2 foot behind his ball reciever.. Wakeham was terrible tonight.. horrible in every way.. he has got to be dropped ..

The question is who do you put in for him, we’ve got nobody, no depth in halves at all

 

[Vicious]

0 minutes.

Wasted bench spot.
Probably coulda used Joffa tonight.

Our coaches must have thought a Keparoa & Naden were playing too good take off 🤷‍♂️
Our backline is disgraceful, one of the worst in rugby league history.
Keep Bula, can’t fault Nofa, but would much prefer a winger much faster than him.
To’a back to the centres and Tupou no doubt has potential despite an absolute shocker tonight, that’s where you need depth to drop him and make him think hard about it when playing sub standard games like tonight.
The rest of the backs should be released straight away and sign players who are desperate for an NRL position.
Tristan Reilly has at least been playing NSW Cup with the intent that he wants to play NRL, he must start next week.

I was open minded about Sheens coming back to coach but right now I just don’t see how we are benefitting. Maybe bringing the young fellas in but that’s about it. Bad retention and selection calls we are now paying for. When do we hear some positive recruitment news?

 

[tigerap]

Will Smith and Tristran Reilly next week?

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Pretty obvious but they tore us to shreds down our left edge clearly targeting AJ and kicked to Tupou. Well thought out and executed maybe we were better off leaving Toa at centre and bought an actual half in at 6.

 

[Mistymuzzle]

Why would Fulton even want to come here? Did Manly sack him ?

Sacked his sister

 

[Tucker]

Yeah I thought he started OK but nah didn’t finish well. We just don’t have the depth and not much choice.

That is 100% our own fault

 

[Blaze]

Stop sulking about the refs….every bloody week!
Open your eyes, we lose because we are poorly coached and a number of players either aren’t committed, or just arent up to the slog of a 24 game season of NRL.

Every week? Ive brought it up maybe twice…. Three times max. You want to ignore it, go nuts. But it’s reality. Not saying we don’t help ourselves, but come on. It’s a joke.

 

[jadtiger]

What about getting rid of Joe O? How did our middle forwards depth look tonight?

Mate i completely agree,i was very annoyed when Joffa was 'moved on".Sheens was rissoled in 2012 and i can't wait for the fool to go again.Only a really poor club would have hired him again after sacking him in 2012

 

[Blaze]

Ok.. it’s the refs fault 😎.. otherwise we would be leading the comp

Did I say it was solely the refs fault mate? The team can’t handle wrong decisions

 

[Halbrowne61]

Sacked his sister

Only coz she spoke the truth about the little Manly jumper clique plus Schuster not putting in, which is exactly what happened again today.
And as someone once said,
“ you can’t handle the truth “.

 

[TigerLouis]

We have a few reserve grade players playing NRL every week Kepaoa & Wakeham should not see first grade again. Kepaoa’s defence is shocking & Wakeham is one of the worst halves I have ever seen in the NRL. We make more line breaks than the opposition most weeks but yet lose the game by a very comfortable scoreline.
Tim Sheens is a joke how he picked To’a in the halves this week instead of Laurie or Smith.
To’a has no kicking game & is not an organiser but is a very good centre. We have not being able to create many opportunities with Wakeham in the halves for a while now so why not give Laurie or Smith a go. Sheens is so stubborn. Team selections & recruitment have ruined our season once again. We should’ve recruited better back up halves than Wakeham & Smith & at least another centre.

 

[Blaze]

I don’t think so and the lack of effort by all WT players behind the line deserved a try against us, pathetic

You’re right, it’s happened a few times tonight… no effort.

I’m not impressed by Sheens but gee I am worried about Benji. Wish we would have signed Flanagan last year.

That was after she got sacked

 

[Tucker]

Twal scored idgaf

Yay….

 

[tigertragic]

The problem is, we have a squad good enough to be a lot higher up the ladder.
If we keep playing like this, why would guys like Pole, Bula, Da Silva and co who are our generation next, commit here?

Absolutely agree
Then we have to start again

What was “the truth”
