Mate, we have a NSW Cup spine. What do you expect?

Better... I expect better... I expect us to work on step plays, to not look like they all just met in the car park for the first time and decided to play a team sport... To have runs where we have players moving. To use our bench based on the circumstances not whatever we planned on Wednesday morning and stick to it no matter what... I expect us to try and pick the best players available... I expect after having total control for a decade that our coach might actually be improving the team, not dragging them all down with him...
You expect our 7, 1 and 9 to compete at the level Manly have?
It's not justified. They're better than us in crucial positions
No, we know we have a young spine
but for the past 4/5 years we have had no attack, no defence. crash ball after crash ball after crash ball inside the 20m when we should allow these kids to have the shackles off and just play. Might actually surprise us. But no, it seems like ricky has them on a leash.
Nah, it’s just the players mate. They don’t know how to attack or defend and they’ve never bothered to teach themselves any structures
Bunch of hacks, can’t wait for Stuart to build a new team, one with an untwistable stomach!

But we’ve been **** pests in the ruck all game. Pushing it to the very limits trying to slop this game up and keep it tight
We’ve earned most the penalties given against us imo

You can’t win when you have blokes like Guler doubling up on errors, Levi dropping a ball cold or having no idea it’s the last tackle. Every time we lose this year we have had a few players that have been AWFUL, I’ve not seen that since the Kahler, Chalk days.
Having no real back up to Fogarty in the whole squad is a serious misstep by the club, Matt Frawley should have been kept on for 2024. That’s no knock on Weekes at all but it’s the most important position on the park and we have NO legitimate back up.
You can’t blame the coach for that mate, he doesn’t control the roster, players just come and go as they please

Often in the middle of games, it seems.
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate. John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

Agree with the pig. Rule 72. Wrap it up.
I can’t even be critical of it
It’s almost certainly the plan going in and I think it’s the right plan!
Our best bet to win this is an ugly, slow, sloppy game and the refs let the ruck get silly. Maybe we’ll wear the refs down in the 2nd 40 here and limit the scoreboard damage

SHAVE THOSE SIDEBURNS!
