    Post-Game Discussion Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

    Double movement, but it was in Auckland!

    Way too sensible a suggestion for the NRL my friend. It's almost becoming "unlimited tackle" rules in the twenty metre zone at times. For some teams and at various stages of matches that is!

    Might be stating the obvious, but Broncos will come close this year imo.

    Hard to disagree with you, mate. Just hoping your assessment is as wrong as my own!

    Something's not right.

    Go On Record Manly vs Dogs Week 1 finals score

    Our side's Jekyll and Hyde nature makes this one impossible to predict with any degree of confidence. I am worried about the revenge factor, the home ground advantage and a referee who will probably do us no favours based on past experience. Manly really need to find their mojo for this one.

    The scales of Reuben.

    Simpkin offers us something different ... speed; both in passing and defence.

    Great comment. I've noticed that he does seem to have more time than other players to make ther right decision defensively.

    Run Koula Run

    Agree with those who prefer Talau. This bloke has come in in leaps and bounds with the Eagles in 2024. Becoming one of my favourite players. Has a great footy brain and makes sound decisions under pressure.

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]

    Olakau’atu hasn't played all that well this year.

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]

    Simpkin is young, fit and gives great service from dummy-half.

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]

    Maybe they'll just save them up for the finals. I think Todd Smith also deserves an honorable mention in the hall of refereeing infamy.

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]

    Many people I speak to are saying much the same thing.

    Miserable Middles To Dominate Middles.

    I thought Simpkins was going well. He had one poor game and disappeared. At least he gave quick service and had to be watched from dummy-half.

    Annesley's weakly "Why this happened" report - 2024 edition.

    Gough and Butler are both shining examples of why Manly are considered a supposedly inconsistent team. Given a 50/50 penalty count and 50/50 "sin again" decisions, I'd back our team to beat most teams in the comp. The ongoing narrative here is that Manly are like the "bad guys" in the wrestling...
