Post Match Warriors v Manly - [Round 2, 2025]

[3rdstriker]

I’ll have to go back and watch, looked pretty clear in the big screen,

Just don't slow it down!!!

They did it last year too where they have a local female sideline reporter.

I have to just about mute it. Can barely string a sentence together.

"The crowd were out of their feet.."

Great reply from a great leader in Barney. Background Fans singing "We Are The Warriors 100%!!!" was brilliant as always.

The rule is pretty simple - he doesn't promote the ball carrying arm. His whole body moves with momentum and the tackle.

Yeah, RTS did promote a little but Big boy Olakau'atu helped his momentum. Even if RTS didn't, promote, he would've slid over and touched the paint. As good as he is I thought Olakau'atu was contained. Capewell had a job. Got stung then turned it up some.

Also, there was a shot where Saab had scored the try... they zoomed in on 'em and he looked like he didn't even want to be there, haha!

Shout out to All of Our Fans at Home base. Credit to All you mfers!

• if the momentum of the player in possession carries him into the opponents in-goal area, it will not be a double movement if the ball would have finished over the goal line regardless of any subsequent movement of the ball or the arm carrying the ball.

 

[kurgal]

To be fair, that RTS try was 100% a double movement.

Nah it was all momentum!

I enjoy reading how others see the game. Off the top I can’t think of a slower centre currently. To each their own.

He looked slow at eye speed but for their first try it was Roger who made the error to leave his man.

For DCE's try, watch the lead up. When the ball gets in front of Pompey and RTS, Pompey is marking three guys right up in his face with Saab a distance behind them becoming the fourth he had to cover until the pass was thrown to Saab. Four on Pompey drew Roger to help and that's how Saab strolled past.

It was four on two perfectly executed by Manly. No mistake by Pompey.

Firstly thanks for Jazz for firing up the boys. Secondly well done for the entire 17 for throwing more than 10.000 dozen eggs at most us fickle, heart on our sleeve fans

Smashed Manly and beat the bunker as well

Thats a turn around. Hope they have another decent win and build some momentum next weekend, they really bullied manly. Taine was epic. Roger awesome, i think he really needs to go to full back.

2 calls from the refs one i could live with, how did they not review that try by saab, im near blind and im sure he lost control of the ball before putting that down.

Warriors showed some real resolve, thats a huge turn around especially in our attack, if they can tighten that up and forge a real connection there and stay healthy, could be fire.

Gave me the shits where metcalf didnt catch that ball on there goal line for a potential try, didnt matter in the end.

Needs some catching lessons ?

Might actually give us a chance.

What an amazing night aye. Wonderful game that I'll probably pour over before sharing my thoughts. As I was big on Metcalf and giving webby time when things were going badly I feel we must also do the same when going well.

But one quick note: I love that we knew kicking bombs on the 5th to the wing would be an awful idea vs those giants. So we had to play a run first attack style. Hope we do that a bit more often.
