LIVE GAME Round 17v Manly

[Aceshigh]

There's just no fkn set plays, I dont understand?? It's just push passes to the wings, get tackled, kick on the 5th (sometimes 2nd because why tf not) and repeat. Just watch Manlys tries they have actual shapes. I don't understand wtf we do at training it's been like this for years.

Yep and we are way to slow in both attack & D and ill disciplined and disconnected

No Luai, Api or Bula next week. It's dire.

Best spine in the comp…

 

[Spartan117]

That's rough way to start the weekend

I Hope Benji Rips them hard this week

 

[Tim Sheens]

Im not attacking Tallyn. He doesn’t pick himself

I wasn't having a go at your post, as no doubt that stuff contributed to his state of mind. Rather, simply pointing out that he was not the cause of our loss.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

It was always going to be a struggle with the disruption to the spine but man the forwards need a quality injection and Bird he's got nothing guys, no impact in the forwards at all

 

[cone]

I agree re Benji. But let’s be realistic, the Club should quit unless HBG start pouring serious money in. Until they do that, the club will continue to be 17th in both results and all the financial indicators.

Just fold anyways, let all us poor fans support an actual successful club.

Well I'm nearly 72 & I don't think I can take much more, I don't think I can see them win another comp & I go to 95% of the games, my wife says I am mad & I believe her but i will keep backing up, I must be MAD.P.s Feel sorry for Benji.

Well tiger, im just a little older than you. This is as bad as ever its been. Maybe be worse in the past, but cant remember that luckily for dementia.

 

[gallagher]

Been that way all year though

Every fkn weekI think to myself what do they do at training...must be ping pong and snooker

Its the worst attacking football ive seen from any team for a long time and its regular

More like beer pong. Or beer bong. Or donkey Kong.
Whatever it is, it ain't training

Well, if we do act against the coach and his staff, we need to start having conversations now with potential successors. We can't go into end of season, ask the coach to step down and then start searching for a coach. Next season training starts about start November so we would already be behind the 8 ball again for season 2026. Player retention, recruitment, coaching staff, etc all need to be sorted quickly.

Because for some reason Benji thinks a 30 year old centre/half can play in the forwards.

 

[Tiger_claws]

The only coach that will make any sort of meaningful change would be Ivan, Bellamy or Bennett.

Your probably right.

Waste of time unless we can Ivan, Bellamy or Bennett

 

[Flippedy]

Mate, if Gus came here, everyone who has talked shit about him for the last two months would start looking at him like a God.

Lol I think we would even be too much of a challenge for him.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

When's Luai's clause expire?

Benji wont be under any pressure til that is sorted. He needs to go was terrible choice from the get go we need a proper coach.

Haha. Stupidest comment of this century.

 

[bbobb]

With those injuries and the lack of depth, I am feeling 2022 vibes 😳

 

[Tim Sheens]

Ridiculous take

Just facts, but hey, you do prefer the world of "alternative facts" from those to the left.

 

[Furious1]

So what was worse tonight - the way we played or the way were were coached?

I would suggest the way we play is a result of the way we are coached

 

[Moh]

I can tell you now that I 100% would.

But he'll immediately have to leave because it'd be a conflict of interest for him to continue media and work for WT.

 

[Tucker]

Can we stop with dumb calls that guys are tanking? TDS is not tanking, Galvin was not tanking. They just aren't world beaters.

100%. They are at the beginning of their careers.
