Round 5: Dolphins vs Manly

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Its errors and penalties.

Thats has to be the coach setting standards.

As I said, this is a top 8 team on paper. If we dont get that, then questions need to be asked.

And for me, why a 5/8th of class wasnt a priority.

Few and far between class 5/8 . Time to put averillo to six kodi to 9 cobbo to centre ( keeps him away from high balls) his running and defending is ok just the high balls he is struggling with

the worst was we didn't score until the 70th min! its all great having the ability to score long distance but if you've got zero ability to build pressure, complete sets and go forwards in the opponents half all you'll ever get are consolation highlight reel clips.

Izzy out if his depth when jmk aint there as wont try anything goes into shell jmk seems to spark the team up way more even in our wins ww go on back foot quick under pressure

I've been at work and I haven't watched the game and obviously won't waste my time. If someone told me at the start of the game that the scoreline would be 52-18, I would've been 100% confident that it would be in the Dolphins favour. That's how fucking stupid I am.

And to think, we are flying up to Darwin in two weeks time to watch these turd burgers live. What a disaster that will be. But, I'll get on the piss (I'm a happy drunk) and hope for the best without expecting anything.

Expect a bounce-back (I think they call it a dead cat bounce). That scoreline flattered us in the end. That's how bad we were. Guys like Gilbert and Frank Molo just dropping on tackles like they only really wanted to make it look like they made an attempt but without really trying to stop the Manly player.

Katoa........ TBH he's been poor all year. He hasn't picked up where he left off last season.

Flegler....... maybe he needs a couple of weeks in Cup to get up his match fitness. He needs to lose a couple of kgs, IMO.

Gilbert has been good actually but I don't know what happened last night.

I forgot about Kodi. Without checking, I think I might have picked him for MoM. The fact the Manly backrower tormented him isn't the main concern for me. He should have gotten way more help. But it's also true he should have handled it better than he did. His attack or lack of is what bothers me. A lot of passes are going to ground. He isn't doing the centres any favours.

The coach can’t change the attitude of players, that last night came down to attitude of the players and their ability to get into a grind
