Those lapses proved costly as it halted their momentum and also allowed the Eels to gain the football in good positions on the field.<\/p>\n
Speaking post-match, Foran didn\u2019t sugarcoat the performance and pointed directly to that area as the key reason for the defeat.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a tough watch. We were way off with the ball. The inconsistencies in our performances at the moment is something we need to fix,\u201d Foran said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t loved what I\u2019ve seen in the last six weeks in terms of up one week, down the next and bounce back the next and then down.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe completed 93% (possession) last week against Melbourne and then came out today and completed at 65%.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just can\u2019t win games of footy doing that and we\u2019ve got to work it out pretty quick.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continuing to speak about his side\u2019s poor performance, Foran was questioned about whether multiple changes to the team had contributed to their inability to find any rhythm in attack.<\/p>\n
However, the Sea Eagles coach quickly shut down the suggestions and said there were \u201cno excuses\u201d for their disappointing showing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not an excuse,\u201d Foran said post-match.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s been a disruption with team changes and players in and out through this period, but you don\u2019t need talent to hold the footy. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need talent to get through your sets and I just thought we disrespected the footy today. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t get through our sets. We didn\u2019t want to play the long, grindy game and that\u2019s what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

While he did highlight that their opponents were able to capitalise on their mistakes, Foran made it clear that the result ultimately came down to his own side\u2019s shortcomings.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve just got to keep the other team in the game and we gave Parra everything that they needed to win that game of footy today and credit to them. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey stayed in it long enough and we eventually just didn\u2019t have the energy to win the game of footy but it was all self-inflicted.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manly Sea Eagles coach Kieran Foran has slammed his side\u2019s inability to hold the football after they were…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":780667,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-780666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=780666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780666\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/780667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=780666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=780666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=780666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
