“Officer of the Watch, Captain, dive the submarine.”

“Aye Aye Sir, dive the submarine. Helm, Bridge, sound the klaxon twice.”

“Aye Aye Sir, sound the klaxon twice.”

“Yahooogah! Yahoogah!”

It's tough.

You'd either be the lazy bugger leaning up there on the conning tower, or the one waaaaay back at the stern.

I'm going...stern boy!

are you the one at the front assuming the position in preparation for the hazing ceremony ?

What really gives me the s...s is the way the commentators say how many players the Warriors are missing but fail to mention how many we have out. Talk about the have and have nots.

 

[ManEagle]

Ugly game, but it was a win, nice to see the boys react the way they did so hopefully gain a bit of confidence, enjoy the training this week with a spring in their steps and get some more good news with Turbo coming back in.
Go into next week a different team.

Big win in the scheme of things, big game coming up to cement a form turnaround.

No change on the warriors forum at @Dan

Apparently tomorrow but I've offered him an olive branch out

The forum bet....NZWarriors

Years ago we used to have a running bet with the BroncosHQ and NZWarriors forums. Bet was simple team v team, loser puts the other logo on their forum for a week. In a moment of bravado I made that bet again with the NZWarriors for this week. So prep yourselves lads this could go real bad for...

Shame it took him 5 games.

I do not see it that way feathered friend ...

I see it that it takes great character to bounce back from adversity
and you can never keep great players like DCE down for too long

Here's another piece of bias too - the score was never updated after DCE kicked the FG! I took this photo about 10 mins after the end of the game:

So now we can play all games in the better/luckier kit for the rest of 2021 please?

Can't we just have them all wear a rabbit’s foot?

Just sayin’

You cannot blame them feathered friend as they were in a state of shock

Des and the Manly Sea eagles shook the RL world as no one gave them a hope in hell of winning

WHEN TEAMS WIN AGAINST ALL ODDS
IT IS ONE OF THEIR FINEST MOMENTS

CONGRATULATIONS TO DES AND OUR PROUD SEA EAGLE PLAYERS

Watched the replay again. The refereeing was one sided rubbish. 3 times late in game we had to use capt challenge to overturn s**,t decisions that would have cost us the game. The Warriors offside was diabolical yet they were getting the 4th and 5th tackle restarts

Dessie has channelled 2008 ... and we'll flog 'em ... Rip in Manly!

He explained to them during the week about completing sets ... stunned and delighted ... they said they will give it a go ....

I told you numbnuts ....

Another thing that really p1ssed me and they do it on fox all the time with Manly more than others
Pre game was all about the riff and other games. Then at half time was again about everything but us except for a few minutes.
Yet the favourite teams get inside the room the whole freaking break.

Sometimes you wouldn't know we were the televised game

Jazz Tevaga was offside about 35 times. Zero 10 m penalties to Manly. Two to NZ.

I'm of course pleased that the Sea Eagles finally won after such a disastrous losing period. They stood up to be counted and that's all we can expect. However without trying to put too much of a dampener on this win, it was against an understrength side in the bottom half of the comp and by one point and despite the concerns expressed about ref decisions, the possession was fairly even, though the overall stats, except in kicking, had the Warriors ahead in most areas.

I know I'm sounding like those Fox commentators, some of whom do malign the Sea Eagles. But there is much about this team that still needs a lot of tweaking especially in selections. Unfortunate thing is, now Des will feel justified in sticking with those players who may have played well in this game but havent produced for quite a long time...and I'm not talking about DCE who I think tries his heart out and overdoes it sometimes...but at least he tries.

Manly are facing a team likely to be in the 8 by the end of this weekend, and they are flogging the Knights, who aren't a bad side. And the Titans have been a bogy side for Manly even at Brookie. I just hope Des realises that some of the players who did the job for him, such as Harper, Funa and Schuster who he's been forced to include because of injury, are the sort of players we need in first grade. I'll be very interested to see who he selects especially now that we've lost a few more including our best centre. Great job that the team did, but its only one game.

 

[Cliffymagic]

With us being crap and getting flogged every week the refs haven't needed to screw us over. But once we look like competing and winning the true agenda comes back in.

 

[Shoe1]

Love how that article headline is dce slits field goal in final 30 seconds. How about final 3 seconds??

or dce slots field goal sometime in final 80 minutes even.

 

[Shoe1]

The Harper decision that went against us was a farce, the Warriors marker first of all was not square, also impeded Harpers attempt at the play the ball and for me it was an obvious six again, Not sure why that did not happen?

Also the funa play the ball, warriors all over him trying to slow him
