Game Day: Warriors v Manly [Round 5, 2021]

Not sure why Des didn't give Christian Tuipulotu a run and drop Saab.. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I wish he dropped Parker and gave Tuipulotu a run in the centres. Parker is respectable at times but he just isnt a strike player in any sense. Saab has been rocks and diamonds but hasnt really had any good ball either

I agree. He could have dropped so many more out of form players. I guess he is banking on the same plodders to turn their form around. Stubborn old cock Des is.

Doesn't Tuipulotu play left centre for BWSE? Straight swap for Parker would be interesting.

The **** ? None of our players are communicating in the sheds.

On Fox, the Captain said

“ we’re here to play “.

Take from that what you will !!

 

[Red Baron]

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 ....

Don’t you mean 2011?

Well friends here is my proof after 2.5 hours all up I have made it from the beaches to Gosford ( via public transport).

So come on boys I have made the effort to come up to support you the least you could do is put in some effort.

I was at brookvale last week and souths game plus scg easts.

I have been to most Sydney games last year.

Only seen you win once last year.

I can't go through another 40 points scored on us.

The time is now to show us some resolve.

Saying all that warriors with RTS
Warriors by 26
Again perfect night for footy.

Don't make the 2.5 hour trip home hard to take.

God love ya - great effort! I hope the boys put on a show for u. I think our record at Gosford is ok so not a bad 'away' option. Go Manly and Go YOU!!!

He never said anything about playing rugby league...

That’s because they hate each other ( someone said this is the REAL issue).

Looks like it I must say.

Does anyone else hope that despite the numbers on their back, we see Harper starting at fullback and Walks in the centres?

 

[TimmyQ]

Really big betting market move

Manly was $3.00

NOW

$2.90

Some are thinking we can win!!!

PS: yes I know not big at all.

That change was based on my $5 multi, Mark. Sorry to disappoint

warm up

Please God yes brother.. But remember Des says Dylan is 'a footballer with plenty of experience' so never gonna happen mate.

 

[Karin]

Go Manly!

Cronk may have been annoying last night and I literally had to mute it so I wouldn't start throwing things at my TV, but tonight he was 100% on the ball about DCE.

Cherry is out of form, we all know that. He needs to let Foran take charge of the attack and whenever he gets the ball, go back to what he does best - run. Whenever DCE tries to run the attack, especially when the team is losing, as we all know he has this really REALLY bad habit of trying to do everything, overplaying his hand and it often leads to plenty of mistakes football. Tonight he should take a back seat, get back to his running game and just allow Foran to run the show.

I'm hoping that happens. But right now its really just that, hope.

Warriors still look a good side to me even without AFB
Back three are a class above and don’t think I’d pick a single player out of our backline on form versus their backs. Nikorima has been very good.
Forwards have been a better unit than us for a long time. Bench is better.Murdoch Mursilla coukd kill us off bench. And they don’t have Croker playing 80 minutes.

They should be the price they are. The only way to win this is effort and attitude bring at 100 per cent and control the ball or it’s just more of the same. Warriors underrated IMO.

This thread feels dead before the match has even begun

I think they will go ok.

The vans is on the way up the M1 to Gosford. Running a bit late because it has been a busy day on the Northern Beaches today ......

he is not a game manager. DCE is only only ever any good when his forwards are on the front foot. He cannot lead a team around - that is why we had Blake Green and tried to sign Pearce. He is an instinct player. Foran must step up and be the manager and leader of the attack.
