Manie overdoing the cross kick foot pass gifts Ospreys a try...7-17...Stormers making it difficult for themselves...halftime.
Evan Roos has good pace , , , cone on Ospreys!
Too many errors WP!!@

Manie playing his kakkest match ever...trying too hard...way too many errors.
14-24
Ospreys!
So what did the Stormers win by then.
Oh My!
LMAO!
Ospreys!
I have a very soft spot for the town of Swansea.
Manie is the single reason why the Stormers lost.
Did WP play their top xv ??
Pretty much...
As I said, I'm losing confidence in Manie.
He's becoming the QDK of rugby. A front runner type that does well when everyone else does but can't hold a performance when those around him are struggling.
The whole team were under performing, not only Manie!

Indeed, M
Their pack has been struggling. They seem to be providing a shaky platform and are too easily moved. It's been the story of their season so far.
Their backs also look like they're making too many silly errors and turning regulation saves into opportunities for the opposition.
Blaming Manie is insulting to any rugby follower
No it's not, he had a terrible match...it happens.
Yes but blaming him alone is utter shit
"Yes but blaming him alone is utter shit"
...because really, it's Adam and Eve wots to blame. Them, who started it all.
Nobody ever mentions their fourth child, Luck.
Plum you are too fucking stupid to work it out
Trust you to ignorantly blame Manie alone
Talk us through Roos or Dayamani at 12 one more time you fucking idiot
4 tackles attempted, one made…..one pass for an oppo try, one cross kick for an oppo try. He had a nightmare game.
We all know he is spectacular in an open running game, but of course the question is whether he can manage an important, tight match. But watching the confusion on Saturday, another question arises, does he have a plan B if there is no space.
Manie has more than proved himself, he has nothing more to prove
His game was not poor, for the most he was his usual self - I have absolutely no issue with a long pass being intercepted or a kick pass the same - that’s rugby
His defence is never going to be a strength as he lacks strength
Jantjies > Manie
Better option selects, more accurate kicker, better defender and superior game management in general.
We never appreciated Elton as much as we should have.
Manie is slipping down my rankings quickly.
I loved Jantjies great player, was not appreciated at all
Jantjies > Manie
Yet to be confirmed...Manie's got many years left...
It is early days, Draad. But Manie is 26 now.
He has some time, but not a lot.
I think everyone here wants him to succeed. If he were more reliable and hard nosed we'd all be far happier. It just feels like he has regressed this season for whatever reason. And this should have been the season, after he has had an extended run with the Boks, and is very settled at WP, where he really took off.
But it hasn't turned out that way and it sucks.
Let's hope he turns it around and puts together a few flawless, or at least unshakeable, games.
I know Plum...and agree...and hope...
