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

[Snake]

I’ll be happy to never see Saddler in fg again. Play the ball and stop worrying about being a tough guy.

 

[HoldenV8]

Fair dinkum I thought you meant Josh Schuster !

Then lets hope we don't sign anyone else named Tom

We do kinda need a Choc, Matai type enforcer though mate

Yep....goose

Yeah, it was unforgivably dumb. But otherwise I thought his impact was decent. Get that out of his game and we might have another decent forward.

 

[grassy]

We still need to complete our sets better and learn to defend against the politics of the game and hold the ball. Bloody great game from Tommy. That boy is the best thing to happen to our team in the last 6 years.

 

[Dan]

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

Nah man twice in a season is too much. No need gentlemans handshake to acknowledge the bet and you're released

Well done Tajhay. Not much between these two and both still a chance to fill spots in the 8. All the best for the rest of 21!

Because of our lack of healthy forwards right now, Saddler will likely still be in the side to play Brisbane next week even with Marty back on deck (which means that Suli (hopefully) will probably drop to Blacktown or 18th man). But after that with Siro probably set to return I can see Saddler being the first to be dropped for the game against the Worms unless there is another injury.

 

[grassy]

Agree!

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

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

~repeat~

Yea that’s cos the ref has been marching them up the field. The ref was a dead set politician

 

[Waz13]

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.

Didn’t say it pre game but had a feeling Suli would not be used. Next week Marty and Siro in. Saddler and Suli out.

Yup

I wouldn't kill a guys career on that one stuff up.

I read that as pelican

and still feel it was correct.

I thought Suli may have come on for Haumole, on the right edge

 

[Waz13]

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.

Gotta be happy upon reflection. Essentially we did not have enough forwards to field a side with all our starters bar a couple out. Considering that and Tge comeback it was a great effort. And Tommy wow, right now he is a class above the rest including Pap, Ted, latral n co. Look at those numbers. None of those guys have ever posted those numbers and they have much more dominant sides. Incredible effort from Tom.

 

[davohan123]

Peter gough did everything in his power to see the warriors home one of the most one sided refs performance I have ever seen.

So glad we got the win the 295 day without a home win gone never to be seen again.

A win at home I don't care how ugly a win is a win.

Watch out NRL if we ever get our full strength team on the park.

 

[mickqld]

Without Turbo it would've been a flogging by the Warriors. He deadset is a legend. I can see why we lost the first 4 games. I'll put this performance down to losing 2 enforcer forwards and a let down after the huge effort last week.

 

[Cameron]

**** game we only really play for a section of 15 mins in the first half and 25 after half time. but we get the two points. lots to be excited about Saab is a keeper. Keppie is starting to delivery on the potential he showed in the 2019 final series. friday night is an important one for us.

Same thing

There should have been a lot more awarded to us except for the incompetence of the Referee wouldn't penalise the Warriors even though it was plain as day that they were holding down and laying all over us for all to see except for him.
