Warriors vs Manly Gameday Chatter [Round 5, 2021]

​

7 frontline players unavailable makes this a very difficult game to pick. Manly have their own injury woes but at least have DCE and Foran in the halves. I think we are marginal favourites but I'm nervous about this one.

 

[wizards rage]

Big Kane Evans to dominate on Debut. He will be fired up and with a point to prove!

 

[Ohgeelowk]

Even with all the injuries we need to come away with the win today. We’ve been talking up the depth of our pack, and what better stage to show it then against a bottom 8 side! We’ve got dragons and storm coming up after, 2 wins from the next 3 should keep us in touch with the top 8.

I’m ready Bring it on .Kia Kaha boys you can do it .👍🏻

Well, as the man who at the start of the season confidently predicted "No player will kick a 2 point field goal from beyond the 40m" only to see Adam Fecking Bloody Reynolds kick a fecking two point field goal from beyond the 40m last night, I think my days confidently predicting results are at an end.

The Warriors might win. The Sea Eagles might win. There might be a draw.

I think I can confidently predict that.

Warriors by 8. DF to be injured and be out for at least a month, therefore making the forum complaints academic for a while as he couldn't play even if he was playing well...

 

[eudebrito]

even if manly are awful just need to be less awful, and get the 2 points, the nice looking footy can wait until they get a couple of players back

 

[shuffle]

Fusitua and Maumolo to score hat tricks. Sean O’Sullivan to score a intercept try. Kodi Nikorima to have 6 try assists. And we still lose. 50-56. MOM DCE for kicking 3 40m field goals.

 

[Miket12]

Someone will need to go on suicide watch over Mr Brownstone if Foran wins the game for Manly with a last minute try.

 

[defensivebomb]

Not confident, as this game has all the hallmarks of a banana skin:

1. playing a cellar dweller
2. "should" win
3. on paper we beat them
4. we have a habit of playing Manly back into form
5. late night game so I go to be tired and angry if we lose

Other than that, looking forward to it!!!

 

[JaggedJ]

With no Turbo this is a Manly backline that may be close to as slow as us.

I look forward to finally answering the age old question of who's faster - the tortoise or the sloth.

Jazz to go mental in this game, I'm just not sure which side that will benefit.

Hope that intercept is on thier own 20m line😂

We need to beat the sea eagles, these are the game that keep us in the 8 hunt, if we drop games like this then forget it.

 

[matiunz]

Need to win these games- however I’m not 100% confident

 

[zaggo]

Definitely think we are a far stronger side on paper, even with our players who are out.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck > DCE
Tohu Harris > Jurbo

Outside of those two blokes they're a fairly motley lot of has-beens and never weres. The key will be pressuring their halves, because much like us their outside backs cannot create diddly by themselves.

Warriors 13+, although I say that every week.

Ohhh I would actually put DCE above Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.

 

[defensivebomb]

It would be nice if we had a wager on this game with Manly and the winning team got to pick two players from the other side to join the squad.

I'd pick DCE and it would be a tossup between Tommy Turbo / Taupau

 

[DallyM]

Hope Evans has a blinder and dominates.... Not been a huge fan but now he's got that warriors jersey welcome to the fold

If he doesn't he is an idiot. He didn't make the cut early so if he wastes these opportunities then he won't be playing first grade. Surely he realises that!

 

[Makasene]

Looking at the lineups, I'm more confident than I was when the suspensions and injuries were being reeled out earlier in the week.

In an absolute indictment for Manly, we look to have the edge in the backs which is ridiculous.

Bookies have Manly at $3 still - I suspect we will have to much for them

 

[Sup42]

All eyes on Evans.

They will have to manage his minutes well, he s well short of a gallop.

They did a good job with Ben Murdoch Masila, he was really short on fitness back in round one.

Not expecting too much from Evans till he has had a game or three under his belt.
