Post-Game Discussion Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

[BOZO]

Im sorry mate.

Sorry for what ?

 

[tajhay]

I understand Dan is overseas but did he announce to you guys about the cross forum bet we had - cant seem to find it posted. But what was agreed if Warriors won is that all silvertail users avatars would be changed to the below for next 4 weeks.



Prob do him a solid and change it yourself, to lessen his workload and to obviously feel victorious tonight.

Saw him clutch his hammy in the first half. He did very little after that. I lost a bet with a mate. He said Turbo lasts 2 games, I said 5 games. Carton of beer his way.

Even when he went in for his try the way he went for the putdown didn’t look right. I reckon that run might have twinged something.

Went missing after that. Almost certainly done it again. Groundhog day but it's in years not days.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Apparently Manly told the sideline media that he was OK but he stayed in the sheds?! Sounds like ducks and drakes to me. My guess is tightness in the hammy, given Fox were unable to show a replay of any injury.

Fox showed the clash of knees with CHT, that had him limping.

 

[mickqld]

How long do they pursue with Ben T. So useless that i hate saying that id almost prefer waddell

He's there on surname only. Butt average reserve grader. Apart from Olakau'atu we have no edge players suitable for the speed of the game.

I'm hoping it's just a cork.

Yeah you know, the guys that’s won a premiership, coached NZ to beat the mighty Roos and coached a Masterclass to win NSW a series. Yeah that one. Or we could go with Seibold who’s won …

Don’t get me wrong, he’s had his moments, but not in the same breath as Bellamy. Will be interesting to see how the Broncs go with him.

 

[Peter C]

Double movement, but it was in Auckland!

It was more a try than whst Saab's was

 

[ALinda]

DCE should be ok, he was walking off ok with a smile on his face, just a precaution I'd say.

DCE was grimacing and struggled to even walk. Imo the guy was in a lot of pain and had anything but a smile on his face. Hopefully the problem isn't as bad as it looked 🤞

Or DCE's 😉

Just finished watching the replay. Wow!

Seibs seems to have done nothing to address our inconsistency (particularly on the road).

Turbo’s game up there with his Wollongong debacle. Jake also went from brilliance last week to one of his poorest.

Faulolo not up to FG. Small body rag dolled every time he ran… lacks the footy smarts of Lehi to poke his head through gaps. Dropped two bombs. We certainly missed Kola there. You cannot have Lehi returning the kick, followed by Faulolo rucking up the first tackle… two of the smallest players getting rag dolled one after the other. We start sets deep and with zero momentum.

Saab was back to soft show pony tonight. Lucky his try was awarded after the unnecessary one handed show boating put down (instead of putting his body on the line and going hard for the line). Lucky his kick was saved by a fantastic effort from Garrick. His capitulation in the tackle at the end of the first half sums up his attitude.

Our forwards didn’t really turn up. Warriors showed the value of having an actual specialist dummy half. Egan was the real reason the Wahs turned that around. He was crafty and constantly put his forwards over the advantage line. We don’t have a dummy half and they just easily lined us up and smashed us. Dorothy and the preacher failed to bend the line… the preacher just drops like a sack of potatoes as soon as there is contact.

I like Seibs, but thought he was poor tonight. Didn’t get his team up for the obvious rebound that was coming. Left Jazz on too long in the first which was a big part of Tuaupiki scoring his try cutting back in… BTW, Wahs scored two tries where we covered them wide and their wingers cut back in for soft tries.

Final observation… we did not play for each other tonight.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Does make you wonder what we’d be like with a hard arse coach like Bellamy or Maguire.

Most of these players wouldn’t cut the mustard in that sort of regime

 

[mickqld]

Once again I'll ask. Can someone explain to me how anyone can think that Garrick is a centre. He's an ok winger at best.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Do we know yet what injury Turbo has today

Return bout of Wollongongitis.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Turbo hammy
Just tightness but I can't see him playing next Sunday
Only lasted 2 rounds this year
Very very hard to.watch

Of course Turbo has yet another hammy issue. Broken record.

 

[tajhay]

Agreed. Trade for Morgan Harper? Well throw in Ed Kosi for free.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Right in half time, Saab in space down the right. Only the fullback to beat....chip and bloody chase! Nobody will beat you to the ball. Instead he stops running.

I was so furious with Saab on that effort. It was just pea-hearted. At least run the ball full tilt and have a go… no, soft show pony does a little dink inside and drops immediately. Didn’t wanna put his body on the line yet again.

 

[The Wheel]

Our forwards are a bipolar - great one week, soft the next. The team is bipolar - slick, organised mistake free, then mistake ridden, uncoordinated tripe the next week.

So frustrating

 

[Kalvin]

I think we missed a trick by not playing talau instead of fualalo
