Game Day: Manly v Warriors [Round 9, 2021]

[dowdz]

Don't know whether to be happy or pissed off

Bit of both! So frustrating. Ref was a shocker too. Saying that, we were poor in many areas.

 

[nightster]

Honestly, a few issues today for mine:

1. The ref allowed WAY too many NZ forward passes, sorry.
2. Des utilisation of the bench was really poor. And I mean really poor.
3. Our defense was appalling , as was out first half.

We need Dylan Walker back.
We also need Sironen, with Olakau'atu off the bench, more impact.

We don't need Siro if we have Marty & Aloiai

congrats guys. better team won. simply no answer to turbo who is a beast. and you guys actually have fast wingers whereas our wingers are simply hitup merchants. well done!

Will put up the silvertails logo up on nzwarriors.com now

Thank you.


Trouble is, all your members ignore it! I need to read some complaining. lol

Haven't heard about Manly having fast wingers in a long time, so I'll take it.

 

[nightster]

It was never in doubt despite the leeway with forward passes and off sides

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

Phew

What a performance by Tommy

No Tommie Turbo today and we lose 32-8 or something like that

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark

 

[globaleagle]

How are the warriors still in this game, I feel like we have won it four times over, be nice if our very experienced halves actually control the game from here for the win

Agree!

It was like "Manly have scored 4 tries in a row!"

NZ score one and are 2 points behind!!!!

~repeat~

 

[Maxim]

thrilled

thought we let the warriors back in up the middle too many times - but I guess that's what you expect when your entire front and second rows are out (Marty, Josh, Davey and Sirro) - and they made up for it plenty of times as well

the boys should pat themselves on the back for a hard-fought win

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Don't know whether to be happy or pissed off

Be both, mate. I am

Happiness probably edges the anger because at least we got the win. But we still really, really need to work on our defence. A quick blitz of tries got us a good lead and we still had to hold on at the end.

 

[court83]

Good win..I will take it.
One of those games we never looked like losing after we hit the lead, then somehow with 4 mins to go we are all on the edge of our seats..

Toms a monster... No two ways about it, dare someone to name a player that single handedly destroys teams like tom does ..

 

[grassy]

That ref is the biggest blind wanker I have ever seen ref a game. I don’t know how many times he marched the warriors to our try line, not to mention the two tries they scored of forward passes that that clown let go that they scored off . The last penalty he gave to the warriors was for absolutely nothing. This game should have been televised on CRIMEWATCH. At least our tries were scored of pure good play. I don’t often bag refs but this guy was a complete failure.

 

[niccipops]

Holy Faarkamole! Great win!
Thank you Mr an Mrs Turbo for your boys.
And to the whole Manly team, thank you for being the icing on my Mother’s Day cake.

We don't need Siro if we have Marty & Aloiai

We get Marty back next week at least. But we're going to be without Josh for the best part of 3 months so right now Siro will walk straight back into this side.

 

[Rafferty]

I’m happy to come away with the win, but for me the refereeing was lower than ankles

 

[Cliffymagic]

I was thinking of a flying try saver in the corner after dce kicked it dead. What a ripper. Heart in mouth stuff.

 

[Nordburg]

I suppose if you leave one player on the bench for 80 and two others for around 70,the other 14 are bound to get tired.Don’t see the point in picking a player and not even using them,especially in this new fast paced game

 

[Snake]

I’m relieved that we won but geez I hate watching poor defence. The club owes me a pacemaker after today. Ffs aim up in d!

That’s a good point. We certainly could have used something else off the bench to help the boppers out.

 

[HoldenV8]

Here is an interesting thought guys ... what price Brad Fittler is keeping an eye on Jason Saab as a possible Blues bolter? He's already said his rep footy goal is to play for NSW and Australia. And having Saab and Addo-Carr on the wings, NSW wouldn't have had it so fast since the days of Irvine and Cleary.

 

[Brissie Kid]

Take any win given 5 games ago the season looked dead. Now gone 4-1, while Raiders and Sharks have 0-5. #GoManly!

Fair dinkum I thought you meant Josh Schuster !
