Match Stats

Good to see the momentum continue. The ref was rubbish but we can be out worst enemies...

Considering what the weather did, anything could have happened really. So overall I'm happy with the two points.

Remember how Brookie used to cop so much flack for its playing surface. Not a single puddle...look at Allianz. Who needs a new stadium.
 
Warriors got the help of Butler and the rain in slowing the game down, ridiculous how he let them slow the ruck and penalised it when Manly did.

A patchy win, building for the Dogs and Sharks games, no single standout in that game other than Butler..
It would almost be worth it as a Manly player (within microphone range) to cop a fine, after telling Butler that “despite your best 80 minutes effort, we still won the game!”
 
I thought the Warriors really came to play tonight. Defensively we were pretty good, especially when they pressured us early, and we did very well to absorb that pressure and then score on our first opportunity. Looked like we could really go on with it, but dropped balls and some appalling refereeing soon put a stop to that.

We needed to be better in the second half, and we were. Very happy not to concede any second-half points and get away with the win.
 
The downtown penalty was mystifying, what sin did we commit?
So many on report for things that just shouldn't have happened. The first 10 mins was them smashing us high, then they get a penalty for a high shot.

Forward passes were off the chart and their 10m was shorter than my patience for my step son.

He was way to whistle happy for anything he could find against us and even for us sometimes.

I get the feeling he's been told something and we will see a crackdown around finals which will ruin the whole thing

Summed it up perfectly Dan.
So many on report and most were not penalized. The ref was all over the shop.
 
I know I am a one eyed prick when it comes to footy but I am pleased to see all other comments re Butler’s effort tonight - he only watched one side tonight. Not sure if biased, incompetent or plain stupid.

Good win under the circumstances, made it hard for ourselves.

Bully was one of the main culprits, he let himself down tonight in the wet, 3 dropped balls..agh@#..
