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

[HoldenV8]

I always thought that was the strength of their combination and why Foran was bought back to the club.Is Foran a bit hesitant upon his return or is DCE’s ego too proud to relinquish the responsibility?

Combination of things really. Though I think things were really thrown for a loop with Turbo's injury. All their work through the pre-season was with Tom chiming in from the back. Now its Walks who from fullback just doesn't back up. Doesn't help either when the dummy half work is sub-standard.

Perfect night for footy clear and cool nice southerly breeze from Brisbane waters.

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

So did we at least win the toss?

Warriors by 4

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Des never says much but he looks and sounds lost.

 

[KOMORI]

Just turn up and play some damn football.... that’s all I ask at this point!!

 

[Will on the hill]

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

Even better would be Funa at the back Harper and Walker in the centres Parker on the bench.

But when you have such an injury prone fullback,you should be doing plenty of off season training with an alternative

Walker starting at fullback. Nice catch under pressure there.

 

[The Royal Soup]

60m for NZ in first set lol

 

[The Royal Soup]

Manly 30m in first set lol

 

[HoldenV8]

Agreed. But the way they have played its obvious that Walker did basically zero work at fullback during the pre-season. He was basically thrown in there only after Turbo got injured.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Hahhaha we are pathetic

 

[hozza]

The Shoe fired up!!

 

[KOMORI]

Straight away you notice that the Warriors are charging up defensively and we are on our heels
