Post Match Warriors v Manly - [Round 6, 2024]

[1995warriorsfan]

Can't complain with a draw !

 

[Dantheman]

You happily take that, should have lost for sure. We were incredibly lucky.

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Didn’t deserve to win that… but yet had 2 excellent chances to win in golden point and couldn’t execute either of them.

Our attack was average.

 

[snake77]

A crazy finish. When we got the last try I was thinking well at least all our losses will be under 10 points so no damage to the for and against.

Johnson nailed the kick and then the charge down for the penalty to get to golden point.

 

[tyrael]

Manly let go of 16-0, then 22-20 with 1 second left.

I thought we were going to do a Storm Rnd 2.

I haven't been that disappointed and also so excited in one game this year though. Way more so than that Storm game.

It's just simple handling errors that game. I think Laban should get more game time. It's ok for Ford or Capewell to play 65 mins. It will preserve their bodies for the later rounds.

Draw. I'll take it.

 

[LeagueJunkie]

Bitter sweet but 1 point against a Manly team that will win more games than lose is a good outcome.

 

[Matiunz]

Manly we’re up for it and in all honesty I wasn’t too upset if we were to lose that the way we played. Probably lucky to get a point out of that but we did play well the last 30 or so plus in overtime, if not for the Tohu fumble SJ probably slots the winner(Also the easyish miss from SJ).
Manly will feel they let one slip there, we’d feel we dodged a bullet

 

[Dlenai]

RTS detractors (myself included) need to reflect and understand that he has been swapped around the backline throughout the season thus far.

Give him consistency and reps in the centre position and he will improve leaps and bounds round by round

 

[MrFrankWhite]

If we can walk away with 1pt after playing our worst game, that’s pretty good

Lots of small things to look at.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

A couple of clutch moments from SJ with his try, the pass to DWZ at the end, and the gamesmanship to earn the penalty

 

[Te Mana-wah]

Stoked with a point. Those 1 pointers are huge on the ladder. Puts us clear from those around us on the ladder

I used to love to hate DCE, but he is an increasingly decent person and player. Nothing negative in what he does.

Agreed. That sentiment goes out the window when he plays us though

 

[Zarjaz]

If it wasn't for the below average start/first half we might have iced that one. Something looked off for most of that one. Gave them way too much ball to work with. They'll be relieved to get a draw out of it.

Thought Manly's forwards were great, made a ton of metres, hard to handle. Great kicking game from DCE.

 

[The Shah of Iran]

We were clunky but Manlys handling and defence was very good. I don't think we had any right to win it but I'll take the one point. Our edges haven't really looked solid all year so between that and our climbing injury toll we've got an interesting few weeks coming up

 

[Inruin]

RTS detractors (myself included) need to reflect and understand that he has been swapped around the backline throughout the season thus far.

Give him consistency and reps in the centre position and he will improve leaps and bounds round by round

Putting errors from RTS and Ford aside, I thought there were some better signs from that left edge in attack tonight. Better conditions and we should see some potency there

 

[snake77]

When we have lost tight ones the last few years we have said the good teams find a way to win when they are off.

Well we let them get away to a 16 point lead and managed to peg it back. I'm happy with a draw. It gets us another point on the table. It may come in handy later in the year for both teams as everyone else is on even points and we are on odds. Yes it could also mean we are one behind as well.

They showed some character to come back.

 

[Canonball]

That's the worst we have played for a long time. Well played Manly. Given that, I'm stoked we got a valuable point out of that game

Flush it and move on.

6 Dally M points for Freddie Lussick

The Lussick Precedent

 

[The Salary sombrero 2]

The fact that we managed to claw back one competition point is actually huge. Proud of the lads for not giving up for the full 90.

 

[Assyrian-Warrior]

Point gained! UP THE FUCKING WAHS!!!!

 

[the WARs]

WOW I didn't think that was going happen and really if tohu had lost the ball SJ was setting up for his closest DG chance ... still a draw was better than a lost esp as Manly was the better team .. real TOP4 side IMHO

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Can we all agree that was a shit show from us? We've been pretty consistent all year, but we were bound to have an awful performance, every team has had one of those except us really. Yet despite how awful we played and how well Manly did, it showed that this team has real ticker that hasn't gone away from last year. For what it's worth, we still outran manly by over 200 metres, though they had more post-contacts I believe. So the stats don't look too bad despite our awful execution today.

Overall I give this a C. We will learn from this and use this as the floor. Dragons better watch out.
