[Manu Vatuvei]

Cant believe the vid ref gave Manu's 2nd try tbh

wtf?

 

[Dr Crane]

1 idiot picked a draw after GP tbh.

Needless to say, i conveniently ignored that

 

[Grail]

Why? Had you paid him off or something?

My initial response to that try was that Vatuvei knocked the ball on into the chest (was it Mannering) in goal before getting control of it and planting it.

However, the replays they showed weren't bringing that little bobble into focus enough to really determine if he did knock it on or not.

Saying that, I'm happy for it to be called a try. Was never going to change the result IMO.

How did Sonny Fai play?

The ball didn't touch Mannering at all.

sonny fai? didnt get the ball alot, had a few good runs, dropped it in a tackle once, his defence seemed pretty solid. want to see more of him though.

did his job.

How can you be so sure, when the replays didn't show a concise angle?
And if you read what I said, you'll note that I was happy for it to be a try regardless.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Yep solid debut by Fai. Should get plenty of oppertunites this season to build on it.

I think too much is being looked into with Vatuvei's second try. Watch it in real time it was fine. Slowing it up will obviously bring doubts. He did look like he did a funny juggle but never let go of the ball.

How did Hindmarsh go ???...

Roll me in flour and call me a bagel, but you NZ fans don't read what people actually say do you?

Good win by the Warriors and good luck for the rest of the year, its going to be a nightmare to tip them for me though.

Still the NZ commentators give me the sh*ts. They wet themselves over Manu catching the ball but showed little to no emotion for Reddys try which i thought was pretty good.

My genral rule with the Warriors- tip them at home every match and only tip them away when I am certain.
