Game Day: Warriors v Manly [Round 21, 2019]

[Shnorky]

As I said at least api tried to rectify the issue but Jake did not.

 

[Cioran]

You never congratulate the opposition, especially the Maoriors, unless you want to be considered a good sport.

What can I say. I’m so happy with the team this year, after the nightmare of the furniture man, that I’m feeling magnanimous. Even toward Warriors fans.

 

[Sheikheagle]

I

Did I miss something, why did dice try and catch up to the ball to tap it back instead of of diving for it to score a try.

I said the same thing. He was off tonight but will bounce back next week.

 

[mave]

So you don't blame Api for actually passing it when Jake was in front of him?

OK.....

I get the Api bashing, but a foward pass like that is on Jake..Api will pass to the runner on instinct.

 

[Luke_m]

Just gets worse sironen possible hamstring injury

 

[hozza]

Disappointed to lose tonight for sure. But to look at our last month of footy we have done fuking very very well- parra- win, storm - win, Knights-win, warriors-lose. I’d take that everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.

 

[The better Robbo]

Just gets worse sironen possible hamstring injury

Where did you hear that

 

[Simonmyers11]

Just gets worse sironen possible hamstring injury

That would be a real big blow, really hope not

 

[HoldenV8]

As I said at least api tried to rectify the issue but Jake did not.

Exactly how did he try to rectify it? He threw the ball to a player that was in front of him. Instinct be damned, he's experienced enough to know not to do that. Yes Jake overran him so he played his part, but in that situation an experienced dummy half should not be throwing forward passes that are that obvious unless they are sCam Smith and know they will get away with it.

 

[SeaEagle21]

Des said it could be cramp or possibly hamstring, lets hope it was just cramp

 

[Karin]

Barretts back

But will he take credit for that performance.

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

Exactly how did he try to rectify it

Rectify, word of the day!

 

[maxta]

That last set was bad from the kickoff - then a sloppy type play ball with Kapow, Api forward pass....I cant blame Jake who had overshot the runway, as a Manly player again slowed in the ruck....if a dummy half passed to a support who was in front there would be 2-3 forward passes every set pulled back unless your name is Cam Smith

 

[Cliffymagic]

I dont feel to bad about the loss. Mainly cause it wasnt the refs that screwed us this time.

Ok you win holden

 

[FlyingHigh]

The problem now is that the Eels play the Knights and if they win, which they should, they'll be on equal points to us and with a much much easier run home including games against Titans and Bulldogs.

C'mon mate.
They are all under fatigue.

Foward passes are the flavour of the month for the refs.

Tonight was ripe for an ambush, Manly love to play fast and in dry conditions we are strong. Tonight it was wet under foot and it was all about percentage play and using attacking kicks, The Warriors did that so much better for 65 minutes and Manly became more and more impatient and when they finally did work towards building pressure they got a professional foul out of the Warriors and like good teams do they took advantage. The NRL is a no easy game league, this is not the first time a team has been ambushed like this. The Warriors to their credit played as well as I have ever seen them and they played the perfect aggressive spoiling game that Manly normally play. I am sure that Des will be drumming into them the need to be ready each week. Expensive night though with injuries to Parker so bloody unlucky, Sirro it seems too and I think that Marty is struggling with his knee and DCE with his ankle. We need our whole squad now as we have a difficult month ahead!

The ironic thing is, if DCE did score that try, then Adam Blair would not have been sin binned, we scored three tries whilst he was in the bin

 

[HappilyManly]

Retro Round had Manly play like Baz was still in the demountables
