Live game thread v manly *spoilers*

MT wrote the team had two training sessions with BK. 3.5 years of Maguire's coaching cannot be eradicated with two sessions.

But there is an upside to that performance yesterday. Our attack against the best defence in the NRL looked really good - we were set deep, crisp passing and getting KM outside of his opponent a few times. It was just bad luck that Naden didn't score. Personally, Liddle's performance was very satisfying and reaffirmed he is a quality NRL 9. I'm sure having BK coaching him again was a boost.

Although disappointed with the loss, I am grateful the WTs acted and removed Maguire.

We looked good in the first half against Souths too. Maguires gone the troops are the same..same weaknesses.

It's more subtle than what you have described. Our attack immediately looked fluent and more penetrative. Crisp passing as the Sharks do each week is a good start.

Your Queen's birthday rant Tragic? Have you checked the honours list for your OAM.

Our club with stable finances, the COE, emphasis on pathways, juniors doing well and possibly the appointment of the most well credentialed coach not yet to coach at NRL level. There is nothing at all to be excited about.

Absolutely nothing has change from the week before except Madge was sacked...
The poor effort,illdiscipline,poor execution and attitude seemed even worse for Noddy...
Dont think Ciraldo isnt taking notice especially as you think he will be our saviour...
This squad needs an overhaul,money should be spent wisely on its development,not squandered as years gone by...until that changes,it wont matter who comes in to coach,the first full season will be just as hard to form a solid NRL quality team....
 
Sounds like the coaching CV's and phone enquiries are already rolling into Sheens office and I read somewhere we're meeting with Ciraldo in the next week or so. Once the new head coach is confirmed we'll likely know who looks like leaving end of year and any new signings for next season and beyond.

All I want from this year is commitment. To compete in every play.
Yesterday it seemed like if it was too hard then forget it.
If these players were playing for food they would starve.
It simply is not good enough for NRL football.
I saw several players walking yesterday...they may as well keep walking.

The only commitment in this joint is the fans that turn up week after week

What sort of crowd did they get?

Mate, I was quite surprised that there were over 10,000 at the game, but the thing that really startled me was how many Manly supporters turned up.

I think they were more like Sharks than Sea Eagles and could smell the blood in the water.

Was a very sad day and to then find out today that Geo had passed away makes it even sadder that this mob just capitulated the way they did in the second half to the Silvertales that Geo truly hated.

Not surprising really because this mob had 2 chances to do Tommy proud and couldn't get the job done.

Totally. I'd rather 6 guys who run through concrete walls but have less skill then these Muppets. What's the point if your 105-110kgs but run to the line like your 85kgs?

Before the final 17 players are chosen for game day, maybe our forwards should have to prove that they are tough enough to actually 'Run Through The Banner' instead of bouncing off like poor ol Brooksy did.......boing!!!!!!!

It's simple....if you dont make it thru the banner Yuh dont play or at least you dont play with the big boys on the field.

After you have received your participation cup for trying you go and play in the sand pit with all the other forwards that didn't make it thru the banner.

Bugger all the work you have supposedly done in the gym, if yuh dont break thru the banner your not playing against the Bulldogs on the weekend.

I've had to stay off the forum post match because I'm feeling so gutted and flat after shite show.
If those players were playing for contracts today (which they are) none of them would be certain to be resigned unless they were bargains.
We have a toxic losing attitude.
We would find a way to lose even if we were playing against 8 players.
Sorry to be negative.
I'm usually upbeat but today I feel like they've broken me.
In a couple of days it will be forgotten and I'll be looking forward to the next game, a tale of a tragic loyal supporter 😭
