Gameday Warriors vs Manly - [Round 2, 2025]

[Noitall]

Re Jazz, he 100% would have to be a niggle target.. evryone push his head down a bit longer, F with his head.. would be a huge advantage. Big Jazz fan BTW.. plays with heart.

We’d be mad not to exploit it. Was obvious in the Māori vs Indigenous game that he’s up for niggle and he’s going to be chirping in this one. Think they have us in the backs, but I think we have them in the forwards

I think we see Barney get off the line and put one on Jazz early to set the tone for his match.

If he wants to set the tone. Put one on Olakau'atu. Then one on every other player.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Everything in me says we're losing this. Except the Warriors fan that I am.

So my predictions are

Leka and Demetric to score one each off the bench. Taine for a double.

22 - 14 us.

Not amped at all but will be by kick off.

See y'all there

Manly are hot at the moment, we definitely are not. This game is big trouble for us. If we get within 16 we have done well and are improving. We still need to work out what game plan fits our cattle and are unsettled in key positions.

 

[Beastmode]

If the teams as fussed about Jazz as some of these posters it'll be long night. Much bigger concerns to worry about than a hooker who isn't much of a run threat.

Thanks for the reality check.
Bigger concerns ? Like who?

Their better fullback?
Better halves?
Better Wings?
Better Forwards ?
Better Bench?
Better COACH?!!!!

The only position we are better at is Hooker - Egan v Jazz!

If jazz is our biggest concern tonight then it’s been a great night

Exactly.

Shots fired !

You suggesting Jazz is better than Egan ? Nah not going there until after the game

Nah just saying that Egan hasn’t shown anything this season and Jazz is warming up.
Not willing to call it this early, but Egan better start showing something.

Head knock guy needs a better platform than last week as do the rest of the spine. Sigh

The platform is most important !!
I watched Egan closely & he seems to have changed his D technique somewhat for the better.
Getting his melon behind the attacker is going to save him a lot of HIAs

it’s all the middles fault
Not buying this coolaid

Egan can’t do his job
Halves and backs can’t do their job
All because the middles can’t go forward

Nah. Not buying it.

Egans fast crisp passes to the halves. Zipping through holes, zero fucking kicking game, all contribute to our problems and has nothing to do with the middles. He doesn’t create opportunities. Slow reaction time slow legs and has zero presence on the field…

Sure, but he is part of that better platform. He’s wasn’t at his best for parts of last year and in game one he didn’t offer anything special.

Fair

But still better than Jazz!!!!

Egan

Points go to Egan for now

Just his tackle count really. I've been an advocate for shipping him out for his past twenty seven head knocks.

You can drink whatever cool aid you like. Enjoy. But does injecting Healey last week beat Canberra?

Unfortunately it may have been a few concussions late. Here's hoping we see improvements where necessary including his lack of what Beasty said

 

[The Undertaker]

I really dislike Manly, even though traditionally they have been my second team whenever we go out of contention.
I’ve loved to hate them since 2011. That loss is still a wound that has not yet healed.

I hope we bounce back and beat these guys. I really do. Can’t stand Siebold - arrogant twat - can’t stand DCE (though respect him)… just a niggle team who always come across so fecking high and mighty when we play them. I almost hate them as much as Melbourne given they spanked our ass for 15 years.. and that’s saying something.

I can see a tough forwards batttle with some fisty cuffs and a bit of blood on the battlefield.

Wahs by 2 in a boilover with an RTS special in the last 10 to get us home.

I think people forget but egan played 80+ mins for half the games he played last year. It just seemed to depend on how quick of a turn around the games were and who was injuried. So it would not surprise if vs the roosters we see healey on if egan is punished in the middle or a middle goes down injuried.

With us having to play Walker off the bench it really limits the Healy / Egan possibilities

Yeah i think thats a good point tbh. Last year it seems like we never had walker on the bench with his injuries and then coming back to tohu's injuries.
