Game Day: Warriors V Manly [Round 6, 2024]

[davohan123]

People are going to go off brooks for that but at least was trying something
we have let them back in this when we shouldn’t have
still take 16-10 any given day
scoring the first try in the second half crucial
if we can back to a 12-14 point lead going to hard to run down

Slight exaggeration?

Perhaps dont try to mess with the ruck or be offside. That usually helps.

What do you expect from fans in a Manly forum?

That being said, Manly is playing dumb but your mob definitely being reffed back into this contest.

 

[Nordburg]

They played solid footy to get to a 16-0 lead then in typical Manly fashion of recent times,they didn’t want to get into a grind for 10 minutes just to take the heat out of the Warriors comeback.

Agreed
to me it’s parra 2.0 all over again
half time came at a good time for us

I'm starting to question if Guac can handle pressure. He seems to have a bit of a habit of giving away dumb penalties when we have a lead and not long on the clock.

Newcastle at Mudgee is another classic example.....and we had the ball at the time too.

Play a good grinding second half we have enough talent to win
we just have to play smart footy here in the second half

Not one set re-start for NZ until Manly reached 16-0

as i said on here at the time

DCE kicks to no one and they grab it and race 20 meters, a fast play the ball and a penalty and we give that half away

we can never catch kicks and never manage games!!

This is the parramatta game all over

 

[hozza]

Bad moment from Brooks at the end, should have just kicked into touch. Still, pretty happy with the half. Hope ref doesn’t continue to fuk us with constant 6 agains.

Not only that but asleep on the quick tap. But several are guilty of brain explosion in last 10 min. Tom drop play the ball, DCE dumb cross kick , Taulau touching a ball sailing over the sideline, Brooks stupid intercept pass.

I love what Brooks has brought to the club but rugby league is psychology and we should have killed that last minute instead of trying to play touch footy. The headspace of Warriors going into the break is much more positive now. I haven’t even mentioned that Talau wasn’t in space, even if the pass hit it’s mark.

It wasn’t good football.

Aaand there the tigers Brooks

He's been good for an error or two every match this season, they usually haven't directly led to tries though.

Proof that his neck is close to 7ft?

Schuster

Mate, the whole half turned when Cherry kicked across field, with zero chase, instead of the % play kicking down the line.

Not saying DCE is perfect. He makes wrong calls.

But that was a huge mistake from brooks

I was yelling at him to let go, Butler was calling for him to get off him but he kept going while looking at the ref, don't believe it, dumb as

 

[LeonardCohen]

@davohan123 did it result in a try?

 

[The Royal Soup]

i have no problem with the ref

he called sips for one and he didn’t back out and made the tackle so that was an easy 6 again

Guac was a obviously penalty also

plain and simple Manly went to sleep and didn’t man up and get into the grind

Oh, no doubt.

I'm more saying we refuse to grind. Every time we start, we do something to release pressure.

That's a reflection of both the teams halves, and the teams mentality overall.
