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

[WHB]

Did Healy actually ground his try i didn't see it touch grass but hey ref gave it.

Simpkins was the same.
Guess they had to level it up.

 

[WHB]

Watched the game again and apart from the super fast Fish try at the start.

Manly came out with intentions.

There early exchanges were fierce.
It was the first game I seen Clark get stopped in his tracks at the collision.

Manly like playing us for some reason.
Sure for them they must see us as that team they can win most times.

Things came right once they absorbed the pressure.

Oh the horror! Just when u thought it couldn’t get worse, Webby brings in Harper to Partner Pompey in the centres. Explosiveness personified.

Well tell me who you you would have. Harper defensively is superior to others. Attack wise he has also stepped up and proved he is a possibility. Don’t know if you have been watching his games but I can’t see who you would be putting ahead of him. FYI - I have watched every nrl and naw cup game

I thought about Harper. But went with Fatialofa. But it will probably be Harper

Or Taine to FB and CNK to centre. That’s prob more like it

How can anyone keep watching this lot (especially after tonight) and not see that fundamentally the players are not good enough and no coach can correct that.

Capewell makes a break down the left flank, he is slow as, but doing his best, there is no one with him, this is not a one off scenario, this is a really good illustration of the truth that every back on that left edge is not good enough at one fundamental of football codes....support.

CNK was not there. He gets a small reprieve because a fullback cannot be everywhere all of the time, despite what people think.

None of our halves support, they do not get a pass, because Metcalf does it every time. The answer is CHT and Boyd are not good enough.

Our Left Winger who everyone praises for returns is a failure as an attacking player for not running after his slow Second rower.

Our Center is not there, that is another fail at NRL level.

Every back on that side of the field is not good enough.

Now go to the right edge and the issues are the same.

I did not want to get into putting our players down - but if it comes to this bullshit idea that somehow Andrew Webster is supposed to make good players out of our rubbish line up then I am gonna scream.

Webster did a brilliant job with Crap. And if people think throwing Sio Kali and Fatialofa in there they are kidding themselves, those blokes don't know how to tackle to an NRL standard yet.

To be fair that was the fastest ive ever seen Capwell run, he kinda left everyone for dust lmao

(Joking, but kinda not - impressive speed from the big lad during that burst)

Great points Sup.

How bad it was to see CNK be burned two weeks in a row in the same fashion. Im all in on Tuaupiki next year until we sign a new fullback.

CNK can move to centre forbthe remainder of his contract. And berry moves on.

I hope Mellar is good enough to start next year for Dal.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Berrys made of glass and needs his contract recycled

Him, Metcalf, and Leiataua are a real worry.

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

CHT should not be our long term 6. He’s always been an average option in the halves. Hopefully Linnane tears up in cup next season and pushes CHT back to being a 14/utility. His best position IMO.

Went into meltdown after that second manly try was awarded. We played poorly but that was the ultimate kick in the guts from the week previous. Denan Kemp’s bloke in a bar podcast was used as an example last week of why that call was correct, but if anyone did actually watch the whole thing he does in fact believe that there is an unconscious bias towards us. The acceptance from the commentators I thought was interesting too in that try because I’ve heard either personality express their displeasure when they haven’t agreed with a call countless times, but here silence. I still cannot believe that the bunker and all those camera angles could call that a try?

Says someone who has never played FB, I suspect

The only thing I can think of is that the ref indicated to the bunker that he saw the ball grounded on the first attempt before he was rolled backwards

We won't even bother talking about CNK being clattered in the air & that being cleared by the bunker - that was a diabolical decision
