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

[Clivus00]

And "under fatigue" seems to mean after the first five minutes - for the whole team.

I couldn't believe how slow our defensive line was against the Cowboys in Round 1, when we'd pretty much had the ball for the entire half and hadn't had to do any tackling at all. And as soon as the Warriors got out to a lead in Round 2, we dropped our heads almost as quickly as we started dropping off tackles.

This team has zero desire to defend. For us to win, we need the ball and we need to keep scoring. As soon as that stops happening, as soon as we meet any resistance whatsoever, we're buggered. It's been like that for years, and it's maddening.

A good defensive team that can slide and stop the Turbo to Saab overlap will smash us.
