….but we shouldn’t forget. The same Manie was out there yesterday:
A night he’ll want to forget.
Libbok dazzled early with his long passing and kicking variety, tormenting Australia’s back three. But under pressure, he lost control — a wild interception try, defensive misses and a botched restart sealed his misery.
Five missed tackles and poor decisions turned him from an asset to a liability.
Kreef...
Manie is the definition of a High Risk High Reward player, brillant when it clicks, brutally bad when it doesn’t.
Old news you dumbfuck he has been good ever since
Try fucking wake up old fart
Ever Since….well let’s investigate:
He was dropped for our close win against Oz in the second test.
He remained dropped for our first test against NZ.
I have to agree those were good outings for him and the team
Then the second NZ test….Sacha departs and Libbok comes on. In a Springbok blowout he has 3 runs for 2 metres, beats no tackles, no breaks, no offloads. He turns the ball over 4 times! And misses one of his miserable 3 tackle attempts.
Lots of hype but really he did nothing except kick better and lose the ball.
The first Bargie test….on he comes at minute 62 with the match already won. In the eighteen minutes he is on the park he actually makes a clean break, all his 3 tackles and scores a fine individual try. But were the Bargies even engaged at that point, they were done.
So on to yesterday….he comes on at minute 68 with the Boks ahead by 9 points, presumably to play the closer. So he never runs with the ball ….understandable, but loses it once. And he launches at least 2 50/50 cross kicks when he needed to put the ball deep. The mistake Freddie Steward made to gift the Boks the win.
We end the game clinging to a 2 point victory margin, with Bargie missing a kick off the upright. Some closer.
Nope he wasn’t better, a silky Larkham like runner when there’s space, but a poor defender and an even worse decision maker. And he will miss a crucial kick if we persevere with him….a serial loser.
That’s your warped biased bullshit - it’s far from the truth
Libbok has been good ever since
i didnt think he was so bad?
Better than a 4/10 at least!
He is a class act - great vision and ability to unleash his backs
He is a loser….2024 URC quarter finals:
10. Manie Libbok – 4
Few players in World Rugby are as hot and cold as the mercurial Stormers playmaker, who had a disastrous evening from the kicking tee. Leaving behind ten points whilst lacking his usual attacking spark really cost his team
Match after match when the chips are down he ’ really costs his team’
