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.

Lets not forget that the vision the bunker gets and viewing angles is way better than what you see on TV

What gets me, after a contentious try has come up at the bottom of our TV screens as "Try confirmed" without a lot of evidence to support the decision. Why cant the TV audience view what the Bunker crew have ruled on and seen ?.

The other player charged following Friday night's matches was Manly's Jazz Tevaga, who is facing an $1800 fine with an early guilty plea to a Contrary Conduct charge.

Scoreline flatters us tbh.

Better team won and we have much to think about for this weekend.

And future away trips.

Sick off Fatigue, hearing this buzzword

If we are going to spray commentators there should be a FOX swear jar and anyone who mentions Fatigue in the first half has to chuck in.
If they are fatigued in 10 minutes, what happens later when their worse. Dead

I have no real reason but I particularly dislike Ennis using it in commentary as he-is one of ours , and it just gives me the bad ju ju. Its silly .
I can see a future when weapons is on that list, just quietly

Watching Manly these days seems like watching entertainment or even a show rather than sport. I tend to tune in , rather than feel 100% vested in the upcoming contest .

We just look like a team looking to jag it on a consistent basis and everyone is in on it but us

The way certain refs are treating six-agains we may as well revert to the unlimited tackle rule.

Well it's worth a carton if it gets you to post so we know you're still kicking around!

Really nice of you to say.
I know I haven't been around much but I've never stopped supporting the mighty Sea Eagles.
Planning on checking into Silvertails on a more regular basis so you'll be seeing more of me 🙂
