Post-Game Discussion Manly v Warriors [Round 13, 2022]

[Simonmyers11]

Thought we also missed Walker in the second half, he was playing very well in the first.

Foz and Walker will be big losses next year

 

[Nordburg]

Agree. He makes a great backrower like gift was and maybe would've become better. He's just

Croker was good, but to me he looked gassed midway through the second half and some of the play started to break down after that

Then that comes back to Des using Lawton better.Obviously taking Olakau’atu off was more of a priority and not using Walker again hindered the Lawton option

 

[mickqld]

We're totally letting go the wrong half. Foran plays with no self preservation. He inspires, he leads, players follow him. DCE does not inspire that sort of will to fight. Absolutely crazy decision to let Foz go and re-sign the polariser

I noticed that. Why didn’t Walker come back on?

 

[Spartan Eagle]

You guys are Malcoms. Shuster is a gun with still a lot to learn. Some people can't see talent even if it shat on their face.

 

[MissKate]

I noticed that. Why didn’t Walker come back on?

He was limping when he went off, maybe not fit to return

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

FMD, come on here after a 44-12 win and people are still whinging !!

We did what we needed to do, albeit against a **** side, and players should get some confidence from that

**** I’m concerned for the future of rugby league in this country though, the Warriors are the joke of NZ sport and the Kiwis barely play

Ok thanks. I heard in the coverage he was cleared to play after half time...maybe they meant HIA...

Foran made that decision and sealed his fate in 2015

 

[Disco]

Just because he’s played only 3 games at 5/8 means nothing. He’s played plenty of nrl now and should not be doing a lot of the stupid things he does. People need to Stop making excuses for him. Hopefully he’ll improve but so far he’s not showing signs of learning from his mistakes. So far.

Excuses, its simple logic

Show me a half that was at their peak at 21?

Sure he has some youthful exuberance and makes some wrong decisions but there is still plenty of development to come.

 

[Ryan]

I thought that was a fantastic performance!!

Before anyone says The Warriors are rubbish, they've been losing, but have been right in the games against the best teams. At least give us some credit there. We were physical, aggressive, and at speed that first half. We beat the crap out of the Warriors.

For those giving Schuster some criticism, I felt he picked his moments really well. I loved his play. He bamboozles the opposition. His fitness didn't seem a thing tonight.

Davey, Taupau, Olakau'atu, Sipley, Keppie, Aloiai - collectively tip your hats ! FINE performances. But most importantly, Jake, take a bow - what a class / mint attitude - wish he could stay on as captain.

As a whole, I felt we ran much more direct without DCE, and our direction was much better with Foz as the navigator / driver.

As a side note, not sure who Bullemor / Paseka usurp after that winning performance? Surely you can't drop anyone?

Warriors look like they have a serious loss of morale..

 

[XV-1]

We've let Foz go twice. Both times its a mistake. Both for him and us. I hope they'll pay him alot, and he can put the money to good use, in retirement.

Are you serious? Foran screwed Manly in 2015. This sealed his fate then and now

 

[BirdMan4ever]

We played well with much enthusiasm. We need this consistently.
But let's get real, the warriors we atrocious.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

A nice win but I have no faith in Schuster to be our only 5/8 next season. Take the win but some questions going forward.

The guy is all class you can’t be serious.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Foran is value for money this year in demonstrating by example exactly what Schu has to do in order to do the job he wants. Initially I hoped we'd keep Foz for one more year but I can't begrudge him a 2 year deal elsewhere, it would have been a mistake for us to offer him 2 years.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Warriors look like they have a serious loss of morale..

Last week post match Tevaga bagged Walsh and Johnson, tonight Egan was on post match saying that players weren’t NRL standard. Huge issues and I heard Lodge started plenty of them

Interesting. It really shows
None of them look like they want to be there

 

[JBW]

I hope our skipper was watching and sees how much better we function with quick direct passing and running at the line. Foz is the much better gane manager, he just doesn't quite have Daly's long kicking game.

4 forwards broke 100m, makes a huge difference.

Good win, crap opposition, but we had been rubbish leading into the game so it could have easily gone either way.

GO MANLY!
