Chook.

[elo]

[Guest]

phil scores at the end but who gives a stuff !
what crap

[stsae]

Its a bit like spraying the Glen 20 after you've just dropped a massive steamer on your mates BBQ....either way you're still eating shit lol.

LMFAO that's pure gold.

We have this sh!tty footy lotto thingy going and the leader had Easts and I had Womanly and I was about 50pts behind. Strange to finish the game cursing our two tries and cursing Lyons missed goals.

It is so simple, the difference between Manly and us.

In the Manly side, every single player in both attack and defence, approach the physical contest of contact with frightening intensity. Anyone who has played a game of rugby knows that there are certain blokes who give everything they've got in contact, and are bloody tough to bring down.

Manly have seventeen of them.

Us?

We have three players who approach contact in attack with intensity: Heargraves, Tasi and Masoe.

We have no players in defence who approach contact with intensity.

We tried hard for a bit, but were thoroughly outclassed by a hungrier, fitter and stronger football team.

Footy lotto, i like the sound of that Stainsy cause it seems like you get to support another team, if only for 80 minutes.
Did you watch it on the big screen at U-brew, fark i hope so. Actually i hope you're still there.

Mate it's my only chance of winning anything footy related, I can't pick a perfect round for shit, lol.

U-Brew-It sold in the tweed, it's pickled pig brewery now. Hmmmm i know pork and beer i have wood too. Unfortunately I'm banned on the run, the missus knows if I get near any such man-heaven I won't be seen for many a month.

Mr Turk is keeping me warm this Arvo maaaaaaate.

lol @ easts.

The 2011 Roosters are a farkin disgrace and embarrassment. Even our few wins have been flukey. Pity Lyons couldn't kick, could have been a 48-8 flogging. Thank fark the Tigers are doing good. They are my prefered team for 2011.

Thats not bad Frederick, but where does hunger, fitness and, strength come from? Seriously, from where do these attitudes and traits manifest and why do coaches like Wayne (cadaverous mope ™ Madduke industries) Bennett, Craig ( i hate my own fecal waste for leaving me ) Bellamy and , Desmond ( im just a cranky little fark with a 70's hairdo ) Hassler turn out teams with these qualities year after year yet Brian ( the chook contract was my super ) Smith insults us with the insipid filth we saw today.......or have i just answered my own question !?

In part, you have.

Smith must shoulder a lot of the blame for this dismal year; we are uncertain in attack, as we have no structure or gameplan, and are uncertain in defence, because half the team wants to rush, the other wants to hold and slide. Uncertainty creates hesitation - hesitation doesn't breed the kind of attitude Manly have.

For all the dumb shit he says in commentary, Gus Gould watches a lot of footy, and their are glimpses of insight in what he says. Our desire was there - the confidence was not. None of the players have the slightest clue what they're doing - most of them do everything at 100%, but nothing is in sync or coordinated. If it was, that individual attitude of 100% effort would filter throughout the team, and you'd have something like the Manly side we saw today, or what we had back in '02 with our defence.

Footballers are dumb. Pearce can't string two words together unless one is um and the other is mate. They need to be told what to do, and what they are instructed to do is 85% of the ball game. The rest is inspiration, Benji Marshall pulling shit out of his arse brilliance, whatever you want to call it. But that comes after the instructions. Our players have no instructions from Smith, that much is clear. Without this, we have no fundamental, mutual understanding within the team on which to build a legitimately threatening game.

In short, we're fuucked.
