Post Match Manly v Warriors - [Round 27, 2025]

[Wrighty]

TMM to centre and Healey to 14?

The fact he didn't play centre today after the injury makes the suggestion doubtful.

 

[3rdstriker]

Because half back was taken

Also Because he's got trust issues and can't stay on his man.

 

[snake77]

That Brooks try after halftime. It seems like forever that we have been able to score like that.

Decent way out from the tryline. Take the ball to the line and get the defenders to miss and run through.

Our attack the last few years has seemed like the opposition has too many defenders on the field or for whatever reason we can barely break through.

 

[Warrior#138]

We are really impotent right now. Like a full clip in an Uzi loaded with blanks.

I know we hauled the score back. But they are an average average team. So what does that make us?

Well…

we couldn’t beat rock with paper

we couldn’t beat an egg with a whisk.

we couldn’t beat a snail in a drag race .

and we sure as hell ain’t beating Penrith.

And sorry -O has got to be squeezed out. Or pressed into a tastie Tyson Smoothy. He’s a Ben Henry level injury liability. Sad for him but the sooner he moves on the sooner he can start a new career!

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Fingers crossed for Berry. I have this nagging feeling that his shoulder is damaged to the point of a potential medical retirement. It seems like a pretty chronic injury, that has been masked a bit by the other more unlucky soft tissue injuries in between. He clearly doesn't trust it, and that seems justified.

 

[Inruin]

Remarkably I still think we can go all the way.
Because we have some of the best players in the competition.

Ive said previously we actually have a chance this season. I don't think AW will make the changes and let the side play though. Which is a shame because we have absolutely nothing to lose from here.

 

[regenerated borg]

Not too worried about result, injuries was more important. Lost Rocco. not good.
Leka did ok to fill in @ centre
We actually won that game Manlys 2nd try double movement says it all ( bunker confirmed it) the score would of been 23 - 26 to us ...
To be honest need to up a notch or 2 to get past rnd 1... but to blatantly be honest we aint got the cattle to do it..

 

[Dannevegas]

Turn us into Penrith.

Pretty hard to without Nathan Cleary as he is Penrith. But ye I do agree that’s what he’s trying to do, which I don’t agree with. Just play footy with a steely edge on Defence

 

[Stalefish540]

Both halves are kaka. Who do we have left? TMM and?

Mason Lino will do at this point.

 

[Wrighty]

Cnk to centre
Tt to fullback
That’s what the coach did last time
It will be on page 11 of coaches strategy book

I am ok with CNK to centre and TT fullback.
TSS had his worst game tonight as a warrior falling off tackles and a stupid handling error

 

[Zaggo]

When Honey picked Manly by 1-12, I started getting out the fresh bedding for the second coming of Christ: it's the first instance in recorded history of any of that panel backing the Warriors' opponents.

Honey backs the opposition more often than not

 

[Tookey 2.0]

As stated above, how come Dallin wants to start playing centre now?

The really funny thing is, Dallin made some piss poor decisions, but those ones were the ones we got lucky and Tom duffed it up. Twice he came in when Leka had the center/FB covered but they made errors.

The two tries (well at least one I remember) where he was out flanked I'm sure his insides fucked him over. Yes, Dallin gets caught in no man's land but it's the poor decisions inside him that leads to that. I do wish he'd fucking nail someone though, because most of the time he's left clutching air

Ive said previously we actually have a chance this season. I don't think AW will make the changes and let the side play though. Which is a shame because we have absolutely nothing to lose from here.

IMHO we have .000000000000000000000000000001% chance winning the comp with the cattle we have . .too many B-Grader players that shouldn't be in FG .. if we Beat Panthers I'd be very surprised but that will be the only if some players are LEFT THE FUCK OUT of the team

 

[snake77]

Even that first try it took them a while to confirm it.

I was half expecting them to see nothing wrong after the bounce so the'd go back and check them all being behind the kicker for the kick off.

 

[defensivebomb]

I was expecting to lose that one, so a 1 point loss isn’t terrible

What is terrible though is our lack of cohesion. Playing like a team that has never played together

If we make it past week 1, that’ll feel like winning the GF

 

[Wrighty]

I also think we can make the Grand Final if we can through next week. If we can beat Penrith it will be like the matrix moment where Neo starts to believe.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Fuck it.

[The Warrior Waka]

Mason Lino will do at this point.

Luke Hanson is top30 now. Didn't realise he was there until I looked. A chance?

 

[Inruin]

IMHO we have .000000000000000000000000000001% chance winning the comp with the cattle we have . .too many B-Grader players that shouldn't be in FG .. if we Beat Panthers I'd be very surprised but that will be the only if some players are LEFT THE FUCK OUT of the team

 

[Warriorsfan92]

That was imo the worst performance all year. Dallin made some terrible defensive decisions, I’ve actually backed him so far this year due to the clear defensive systems but tonight was bad. Marata ran for 58m, in 55m. Hes deadwood, and needs to fuck off.

Probably tanners worst game in his career. Obviously still back him, but he was out on his feet after 15mins, leaking line breaks and missing tackles. Not quite up to it, yet.

Tanah showed his limitations tonight, but I feel like CHT needs to step up & give him a bloody hand. When things aren’t going well, take the bull by the hands & take the line on.

Erin Clark for player of the year for me, without him our middle gets absolutely rolled.

It’s extremely frustrating. We know what to do, Webby knows what to do, they’re just not doing it. Giving piggy back penalties, stupid errors (9 in the first half wtf!), and continually poor decisions on the edge. It’s really not that hard, but we’re just not all on the same page & the team is extremely low on confidence. They essentially need to forget tonight happened & start again next week.
