Gameday Warriors vs Manly Gameday Chatter [Round 5, 2021]

[Billy Teets James]

150m off 12 hitups in Qcup last weekend for Evans too, need him to be as dominant as he can be with Addin Fonua-Blake out. crazy that we can have 7 unavailable but still be a genuine chance to win a game. not sure if thats a compliment for our depth or how bad manly are lol

Have to be on all year ! Reports coming out Addin Fonua-Blake might be out for the season

Silvertails forum saying Harper at fullback and Tuipolotu on the wing.

 

[roadrunner]

It's a total no brainer we have to bank the 2 points no excuses and if we lose hello another shit season you cant afford in this comp to get done by teams like this.

 

[Rick O'Shay]

We have the rep of playing shit teams back into form.

But if you ain't in, you can't win. Warriors by plenty and all my bookie cash to help them along

 

[DavidMcKay1974]

I'm nervous about this one.

Manly are Manly. They may be playing shit but we need to beat them while they are shit.

Like I said earlier in the week I am looking forward to seeing Kane Evans and how he goes.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck to be every where tonight. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck to score two tries and set up a couple more.

Evans and Big Ben to front and destroy the Manly in the Forwards, and then once that is done, watch us score a few to take the pressure off with about 15 to go.

First beer of the day, should be in my prime in 2 hours 45 minutes to start irrationally swearing at the TV.

Rank amateur. Stone cold sober, as Paloma Faith would say, and I could do that now.

I just really hope DCE has another shocker. Mr $1M/Season NRL Player? NO NO NO....

To meet bangbros18's challange of a pre-game promise, In the event of a loss, I promise to loudly and repeatedly cry out for the blody, painful ritual slaughter of Only Two (2) Warriors Staff. I'm learning to enhance my calm.

 

[Wellington Warrior]

I’m not at all confident....

most decent teams would come up against Manly and see it as a chance to improve the for and against... the amount of players we have out, I’d just be happy with a single point win!

 

[Stalefish540]

Manly have caused us too much grief for us to take them lightly. As has been said before we have played a poor Manly side into form more than once
Just one point more than them on the scoreboard is all I want to see tonight. I don't care how it happens
Just one point guys

Agreed, i'll take a half point win if they are handing them out. Can't lose this.

 

[Tony Martin]

Nervous as fuck.
However, tamale to come on and have a blinder . Looking forward to see how he goes

 

[ramps]

hope ken goes nuts on manly!! Looking forward to big ben running over taupau like he did to g.burgess in super league!

lets go boys!!

 

[Jwoodzy02]

Any chance of Paul Turner coming onto the bench?

 

[Bangbros 2023]

Any chance of Paul Turner coming onto the bench?

Nah he's still on a development contract isn't he?

 

[Lance155]

Can we all make a pact to not go on how our lives are ending if we lose. Not sure I could handle another week on this forum after a loss.
We are heavilly impacted by injury. This game is a true 50 50

Is that his nickname or did you just give it to him, because I'm running with it.

 

[gpred]

I put $60 on Manly. Partly because then I win even if the Warriors lose, but also partly because there has historically been no better way for a shit side like Manly to play themselves back into form than a game against the Warriors. Also, I think we may struggle without Addin Fonua-Blake.

Happy to lose the cash.

 

[AusWarriorsFan]

I had to go Warriors, but picking the points was hard. If Warriors fail to win here they may as well given up. I rarely wager the Warriors. But Warriors forward pack is chomping metres out of the middle, even without Fonua-Blake, I still see our pack being way too powerful. The problem is, we do not have a 5/8th that is running often enough and drawing a player from the defense and passing either via the rainbow or to the centre to convert the overlap on the wing with two of the "flying" try scorers on the wing in the game. We just are not getting players in motion and we are not getting the ball wide via overlap. Compound that with a 9 who is more interested in trying to find the markers off side that clearing the ball fast and or making a fast 10 metres via no markers etc, he just isnt fast enough. Finally our defense is piss weak, looks like the structure SK put into the team has gone within half a season. Fix that and add some set plays in the red zone, kick for the repeat, or run on the last and no stupid bombs from Kodi. I believe we will get there.

We shouldn't sugar coat just how bad our ability to put our wingers away is.

It's dire (as is the attacking ability of our wingers).

Brett Morris has scored 9 times more tries by himself than Ken (1 try) and Fusitua (0 tries) combined.

Ben Murdoch-Masila has twice as many tries as Ken and Fusitua combined.
