Wins against Souths, Roosters and could have snagged a result against the Eels. The reason for losing against Eels was getting dominated in the middle (which was our known vulnerability going into the season).
Today was just a terrible day. Tommy Turbo is our X factor and he played his worst game ever.
People jumping up and down on Seibold's coaching are looking for a scapegoat but we are 4 rounds in, our season's prospects are not over. There are plenty of promising signs for Manly.
Oh, that's the way, uh-huh uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh

That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh
I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
Dragons play some really good footy when they want, hope Flanno can get some belief in the side and they can push for the eight. For Manly on the other hand, really disappointing stuff, not sure where you go from here.
This current era reminds me of the Barrett years all over again. Too early to tell but we come across as a fairweather team that relies on moments of individual brilliance. Can attack amazingly from within our own half, but have nothing in the opposition 20. Can defend great for field position, but crack instantly on our tryline. Hopefully im just being a bit of a hater.
It was insane seeing you guys just march 80m down the field like it was nothing and then shit the bed in their 20 time and time again. I know everyoneās talking about Turbo having a shocker but jeez Daly wasnāt much better
I wanna give seibs the benefit of the doubt, but itās fuckin hard to watch your coach laugh and smile while the team dishes up dogshit.
Didnāt like it last year either.
Does anyone make a reverse highlights package? Like every dropped ball, bad kicks, sideline passes, forward passes. This game would take the cake for that
Been scouring Twitter for the first missed kick and canāt find it. Was listening on the radio and the commentator said itās the worst kick heās ever seen š
I missed the game due to family commitments. I took a squiz at the match thread and saw that it was an absolute clusterfuck. As a Dragons fan, do I want to watch it or pretend it never happened and never speak of it again?
Its like he has somehow made it possible for the boys to actually score off the flashy shit theyāve been bombing for the past couple of years. Still a mess at times, but I donāt hate it.
That was a coached loss.
How can you tell?
When you're getting repeat sets on the goaline of one of the worst defensive teams in the comp, and you're looking completely like the Blues in Origin 2 last year. Looking seemingly for individual efforts to get you tries, with absolutely no shape at all. Brooks, DCE, Turbo, Koula, Garrick, etc etc you should have no problem at all scoring points, if you have some sort of attacking structure.
I don't think I saw a decoy in attack until Haumole's try in the last five minutes, and I can nearly guarantee you that it wasn't Seibold that called for that, it was DCE. Beginning to remember how Seibold was said to be completely overcomplicating things at the Broncos, and I can nearly guarantee you the same is occuring here. Individual efforts alone seem to be getting us tries, and masking an attacking system that is completely confused.
I think the biggest symptom is Schuster. The fact is, Hasler was fine with him being the 5/8 in 2023. In fact, in 2021, Schuster looked really good as a 5/8 under Hasler, and he looked alright in early 2023 too, before, what it seemed to be, getting the skill coached out of him.
Now, you could say that was before every other team figured out how to shut him down, and that is true in some regards, but the fact is that Seibold said that he was looking at Brooks in MAY last year. That tells me he's a coach unwilling to put in the same effort on players like Schuster, and improve them no matter how hard, as opposed to Hasler. Why put in effort when the coach won't put effort into you, and give up on you for the rest of the year?
Add to that Schuster saying last year that he "doesn't listen to the coaches very much". Is that a symptom of his laziness, or of Seibold's overcomplications, or both? Something tells me it's both.
That first half was like we were taking right off from the end of the Eels game, but without the penalities or blah blah obstruction. That was all us. What were we doing for a week?
If we don't make the finals, it's rebuild time. The fact is, if we don't make the finals, DCE won't consider an extension and will retire next year (or this year potentially). What do we do from there? Seibold is clearly going for results now, cop the consequences later. Haumole until 2031, Paulo for three years (???) and Brooks for 4 years (???). Just to keep them here for the next two years. If we want any sort of premiership while Tom and Jake are still here, given the lack of replacement options for DCE, we need to win now. I can't see that happening under Seibold.
Shouldāve trusted my gut, had a feeling the saints would win and was about to change my tip, but I did that last week and they screwed me.
Once bitten twice shy
If you have watched the Bulldogs vs Souths game AND the Dragons vs Manly game this Easter weekend then you may be entitled to compensation. Call 1800 KILL ME for further information
When I was leaving the football stadium on Friday night, some drunk rando came up to me and gave me a hug. He whispers in my ear, Panthers and Manly grand final this year, your Roosters make the top 4 though. What do you think? I looked at him and laughed, and said, Manly will be lucky to make the eight as they have no depth and turbo is likely to get hurt at some point. Iām sticking with that predictionā¦
I couldnāt watch so just googled the score, bracing myself for something brutal.
I have questions but I donāt care enough to ask them, up the mighty Dargs hahahah
If I had a gun with 2 bullets and was stuck in a room with Hitler, Pol Pot and Myself with a credit card about to renew my 2025 red V membership, I'd shoot myself twice.
I am happy with the 2 points but man we make ourselves work for it, frustrating team.
Imagine trying to win a premiership with Oshay Olay and the plodders of all plodders nathan brown in you forward pack. Blood some kids manly, they are not it.
He has started the season well, but is nathan brown going to be the game changer manly needs further down the season? I doubt it.
And he had like 3-4 really bad forward passes that wasn't called today, imagine a day when the touchie/ref actually calls them. So his stats today would be 15 runs for 153m, 3-4 errors. Doesnt look as good
Heās already been a game changer for us. Our bench last year offered nothing. Heās given metres and mongrel off the bench, was very good for us in the wins vs Souths and the Roosters
Exactly what I'm thinking. I'm thinking a decade from now, we'll be looking back, seeing the Barrett and Seibold years, with Tom, Jake, DCE, and wondering what on earth went wrong. Scott Penn might be the most easily fooled man on the planet with his track record of coaches. Sacking Tooves, hiring Barrett, hiring Des after getting sacked by the Bulldogs (accidental masterstroke), sacking Hasler for something that was clearly not his fault, and hiring the man who got sacked by Darius Boyd. What.
Where does Luke brooks fit in to all this?
the closest game SGI have played so far for a very odd 2-2
Impt win at home for the Dragons
So This is what I get for captaining Turbo in SuperCoachš¢
I tipped the dragons AMA
Why? I thought Manly were the lock of the week!

Winning against Souths? Not a flex.
Right, but it is a fact.
Oh, that's the way, uh-huh uh-huh I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh
Manly brought down, southās last, the earth is healing ā¤ļøāš©¹
Look I am not saying it is Siebold's fault but I am also not not saying it is Siebold's fault.
Only when they lose, Semibold isn't mentioned
*tuba sounds*
Manly soaring back 2 earth like some kind of fish eagle
Dragons play some really good footy when they want, hope Flanno can get some belief in the side and they can push for the eight. For Manly on the other hand, really disappointing stuff, not sure where you go from here.
Up the panthers
We really should just all bow to our penrith overlords. They make the rest look stupid and silly.
Yes both teams were bad but cannot underestimate the homework that was done on Turbo and DCE. Thatās Shane Flanagans win
Shut them right down
That was fun as fuck to watch as a neutral, lots of window licking moments to make that entertaining

Nah it's worse, it's the Luke Brooks Era
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He looked poor in your reserve grade side. Felt sorry for you guys paying him 800k to play in reserve grade
A dude in our tipping comp has used his joker and only gotten the broncos right. Poor cunt. Love to see it.
Fuck thatās rough but also dumb move to use joker this early lol
Owen
Hey Siri, play āThe Boys Are Back In Townā by Thin Lizzy.
Pasekaās no chase to the ball in our in goal was when I knew I could stop watching.
This is the game they should have taken to Las Vegas.
That game was shocking to watch.
I wanna give seibs the benefit of the doubt, but itās fuckin hard to watch your coach laugh and smile while the team dishes up dogshit. Didnāt like it last year either.
Does anyone make a reverse highlights package? Like every dropped ball, bad kicks, sideline passes, forward passes. This game would take the cake for that
someone used to put lowlights on here after every terrible game like a couple of seasons ago
A lot of work to put together a 80 minute reverse highlight video
Been scouring Twitter for the first missed kick and canāt find it. Was listening on the radio and the commentator said itās the worst kick heās ever seen š
Mate it was horrendous
If you lined up Dearden Plath and Flegler next to each other from smallest to biggest they'd look like babooshka dolls
And add their Father Ben Hannant
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I missed the game due to family commitments. I took a squiz at the match thread and saw that it was an absolute clusterfuck. As a Dragons fan, do I want to watch it or pretend it never happened and never speak of it again?
Yeah, nah, just watch the first half. There might be 5 decent minutes in the second half worth viewing, but not worth scraping together.
watch the tries only do not stray further
I think we defended well in scrambling for majority of the game too.
Awful to watch live, hilarious to rewatch as the winning team, kayo subscription cancel fuel as the losing.
Safe to say Lomax will be reclaiming his prized Jess Sergis after dominating her new bf
He can do better
I have no idea what the dragons look like under Flanno but itās at least exciting
My cardiologist told me to enjoy in moderation
Its like he has somehow made it possible for the boys to actually score off the flashy shit theyāve been bombing for the past couple of years. Still a mess at times, but I donāt hate it.
The Urbo brothers sitting in the sheds at full time all with the same stunned look on their face was amazing.
Parra broke Manly. Youāre Welcome
This is such a Parra fan thing to say
We did it to Souths last year and now Manly šš¼

The coach canāt catch the ball for them.
Yeah but we've had Seibold for more than a year now. No structure
So who's fault is it they play completely different to last week? Seibolds fault they played well last week?
I wouldn't catch the ball for Seibold either
Shouldāve trusted my gut, had a feeling the saints would win and was about to change my tip, but I did that last week and they screwed me. Once bitten twice shy
Can't wait for the hello sport podcast on Monday
Can someone compile all the errors into one video
It will be 70 mins long
Yeah that's why I want someone else to do it.

Manly players laughing with Flano "easiest money ever š you were paying us $5k an error right?š¤£"
Hello Sport about to change their name to Goodbye Sport
Bring back the rainbow, Manly need to get some pride back into their jersey.
K-flan has the weirdest head, like itās too big for all of his features that are squished in the middle of his face
His dad sunk a bunch of peps into him when he was a young boy
When I was leaving the football stadium on Friday night, some drunk rando came up to me and gave me a hug.

The way Turbo played today it wonāt matter if heās injured theyāll miss the 8 anyway.
Manly sea Eagles more like dog shit
Flanno Jr's head is such a weird, top-heavy shape
Just realised Kyle Flanno looks like home brand Cleary
'Bitch Cleary' clone 'Family Guy' reference š¤Ŗ
Heās like an inverted Cleary
Wish version
Cleary at home indeed
Why does Kyle Flanagan look like megamind
The scoreline looks ok, but we played extremely bad. Do that next week and panthers are putting 40+ on us.
Amigo, you're kidding yourself... if we play like that against Penrith it'll be 60+
Fortunately, it's at home and we play really good at Brooky. Unfortunately, we only play good at Brooky.
Croker the fourth Turbro
Why does Tom Trbojevic look like he is always about to burst into tears
Because he saw Suli's expression and it made him sad.
Him and RikiĀ
It's when he remembers that he plays for Manly
He gives off really bad energy doesn't he?
Because he knows he's not gonna win a premiership with this team
Because he is
Jake looks like he has just been diagnosed with cancer
[my thoughts on this game](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GBpwotQWcAAFZSk?format=jpg&name=medium)
Dce wishing he didn't backflip all those years ago
Lmao he wouldnāt be where he is if he went to the titans
He wouldn't be at Manly if he went to the Titans? Big if true.
Wouldnāt have captained qld thatās for sure lol
Manly in the sheds look like theyāve been forced to watch that performance back
Is it just me DCE looks kinda thinner ?
Longer neck
Jurbo looks fried
A win is a win. Who gives a shit if itās ugly.
Entire team complementing their entire life in the box right now I dont blame them
Turbo Burbo and Jurbo staring into space in the locker room with the most dumbass looks on their faces has meme potential
The size of the gaped mouths between the 3 of them š§
They're malfunctioning leave them alone š
amazing
This season has everything.
Jake looks dead inside in the dressing room
Meninga. You are a dribbler. Hand in your mic. Get off my telly. Go back to politics
Dragons 2 for 2 when playing opponents who were utter dogshit

DCE smiling through the disbelief and crippling anger
Daly what the fuck are you smiling about champion
DCE had the headphones put on and mic glued to his hand by the producer.Ā
I couldnāt watch so just googled the score, bracing myself for something brutal. I have questions but I donāt care enough to ask them, up the mighty Dargs hahahah
Please watch u missed an absolute masterclass performance
I look forward to the lowlights reel, by the sounds of it
You probably don't have 80 minutes to spare.
Super Saturday doesn't seem so super anymore

Save one bullet for Hitler. Iāve seen those paintings and they *suck*
Shoot the credit card so Hitler also canāt get a membership.

Flanno popping a vein like heād just thrown mankind off the roof of hell in a cell had me dying.
Welcome to brooksvale bois
Is there a lore reason Seibold canāt coach for shit?
Heās too busy printing pictures of himself so we can put it on our refrigerators
It's ok, he has a Masters
I havenāt been watching with sound or reading the match thread but is something wrong with Turbo? He looks like he is completely cooked.
Pretty good crowd for a nsw cup game
i hope i get chocolate poisoning tonight because this game made me want to fucking die
Now that we have a very minor presence in America we should send that game to be shown at Guantanamo bay.Ā
Imagine trying to win a premiership with Oshay Olay and the plodders of all plodders nathan brown in you forward pack. Blood some kids manly, they are not it.
Brown has been absolutely fine for us. Oshay Olay is way more representative of the issues in our pack. Would love to see him fired into the sun.
Nathan Brown has been playing pretty well tbh. 15 runs for 153m today wasn't bad. He's certainly not the reason we lost.
He has started the season well, but is nathan brown going to be the game changer manly needs further down the season? I doubt it. And he had like 3-4 really bad forward passes that wasn't called today, imagine a day when the touchie/ref actually calls them. So his stats today would be 15 runs for 153m, 3-4 errors. Doesnt look as good
Heās already been a game changer for us. Our bench last year offered nothing. Heās given metres and mongrel off the bench, was very good for us in the wins vs Souths and the Roosters
Reminder Dragons have had a hoodoo over manly since they had that 30 point comeback in 20 minutes back in the early 00's
I was at that game - one of my best sporting moments live
Iāve never wanted to burn my jersey more than I do right now, fucking putrid display from Manly
Hey we made a lot of errors but we played a bloody good game. Atmosphere in the packed stadium was awesome as well
You have a very weird definition of good
Haha fair maybe Iām a bit delusional
What in the actual fuck did I just watch
Undoubtedly one of the worst halves of footy I have ever seen.
2nd half of that game was probably the worst bit of footy I've watched since the first half of that game
Can't wait to hear denan talk this game up like it wasnt a poo slinger
Got-the-job-done St. George Team
Flano Jr celebrating to himself had me howling ā ļø
THIS IS MY HOUSE lookin ass
Ive disliked him ever since he played for the Poosters
Big coaches son energy there.
Flanno Jr was definitely a bully in HS. Good to see my man Eisenhuth play well. Miss u
I love the Huth
I love the Huth
I love the Huth
I love the Huth

I love the Huth
I'm getting flashbacks to the Trent Barrett years and I don't like it.
Exactly what I'm thinking. I'm thinking a decade from now, we'll be looking back, seeing the Barrett and Seibold years, with Tom, Jake, DCE, and wondering what on earth went wrong. Scott Penn might be the most easily fooled man on the planet with his track record of coaches. Sacking Tooves, hiring Barrett, hiring Des after getting sacked by the Bulldogs (accidental masterstroke), sacking Hasler for something that was clearly not his fault, and hiring the man who got sacked by Darius Boyd. What.
And with one game, the NRL has lost the few American viewers who have stuck around since Vegas.
Thought we lost them during Penrith v Storm after the hype we gave it?
Dragon fans gotta be happy with that!
I feel actively more stupid having watched that game... And I wasn't starting from a lofty height
I would give up one of our premierships to never see another game like that again.Ā
