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

[Boats n Hoes]

Hope the Roosters/Rabbito's game is epic....cause i need something to wash this shit ive just witnessed out of my eyes.

Absolutely diabolical game.

Still filthy about the bunker allowing that Manly opening try tbh

 

[Tohu’s_Knees]

So…. No mythical 80 minute performance.
Combinations gained not much, frankly.
Our already exhausted team is even more so.
What did people actually expect to happen? Magic…. We were/are CLEARLY in decline this season.

Said it then, I’ll say it now.
I wish we got Tapine over JFH, even after we first signed JFH. I would have swapped them.
Am still happy we signed JFH. He will be a salary burden before he is gone however.
If it wasn’t for a cool haircut and theatrical finishes. Everyone would hate Dallin. Everyone.
Niukore can fuck off.
I’ve seen all I need to of Boyd. Handy reserve half. Nothing more.
Healy needs to be in the match day team.
Berry is done.
Our young forwards continue to show great promise.
Erin certainly proved me wrong from the beginning of the year.

Andrew Webster is clearly capable of making a competitive NRL team. Is he capable of making an NRL team that can win the premiership?

Should have rested players……

 

[Ever Hopeful]

It is so hard to summarise how I feel about this season.

We've both overachieved and blown a gasket.

We both deserve a finals spot, and are taking the piss by being there.

That Sharks win was the end of it all really. Round 14.

No signings incoming for 2026 is a worry really, though I'm hoping the Souths winger can be fit.

 

[Dannevegas]

Pretty frustrating our bullshit structure couldn’t get leka the ball once at centre. He’d terrorise if he was given space and time at centre

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Fuck man, I see a few silver linings but maybe I'm just drunk.

On any day, any team can beat any one else. Manly, away, DCEs last game, we played like absolute shit, had 3 injuries mid game including a 6 min Rocco special. And we only lose by 1?

No where near our worst performance of the year, despite it being pretty bad haha.

Healey - locked himself in for next week imo.
TSS - Has tried hard and played well but he still has a long way to go. Ford replacing him next week improves us hugely.

If we compete at 90% next week, limit our errors and with Ford, Egan and hopefully a good centre, and we're a chance.

 

[sup42]

Meh a thrashing was on the cards.

We did alright, even though it was ugly, they do at least keep putting in for the coach.

I felt like getting stuck into the players but will park that because what is the point, they got us a lot further than expected.

 

[CWC]

EIT has hands like glues, offloads, line breaks and covering all the runners around the rucks Shame he and Laban seem to be both out of some finals experience, what a freaking waste

 

[Makasene]

And what do you think is going to happen next year?

If history has shown us anything it's that AW reverts to type regardless.

I'm a bit tired of this theme.

I accept people's right to be angry etc.

But making the finals 2 out of 3 years after 3 in 14 years is worth being happy about.

Worry about next year after next week most likely.

But let's not act like we haven't got the makings of what we've always wanted, a competitive team playing finals every year.

 

[Stalefish540]

Terrible game like said, we looked as bad as the storm just clunky burnt out, no structure people give Clearys era shit about bad attacks but this is the worst I've seen the grinding style just doesn't quite work.
Especially if you're coughing up possession and missing tatackles.

We are a "grinding side" that can't hold the ball or make tackles.

Now I was kicked out of school at 15 20 odd years ago, but even I know the math ain't math'n.

We are the third iteration of Penrith ball, and the most bat shit boring version of it.

Play some fucking football. We are essentially the SK Warriors with a bit of lipstick on.

 

[Damo]

This is year three for AW It is most definitely Cuddle's team and selections. Saying he is doing well with crap players is a bit of a stretch, this is the team he has signed and resigned. There doesn't appear to be much adaptability.

To be fair to Webster, losing your best forward AND captain AND your clear best half is going to derail many a team. I take a positive out of the fact that we have managed to cling on so long. This is all after losing Tohu Harris and Dylan Walker earlier than expected I may add.
