R25 - Gameday Warriors v Manly

[Beavers Headgear]

Defence is woeful, at least having a crack with the ball though

 

[Beavers Headgear]

I also just want to give a dishonourable mention to how absolutely trash our local commentary is.

I’ve turned it off and just have crowd noise and ref

 

[Blair]

Woods on, it's his fifth NRL club.

Manly have the experience to do us here, because it's such a scatty affair.

 

[vvvrulz]

It may be the rules but I hate these calls, DCE made sure to wrap his arms around Ford. Neither we’re getting near the play.

 

[Blair]

Charnze saves the day! Gets his tattooed arm under Garrick's. Phew. Rubes was so sure he'd scored.

 

[vvvrulz]

Oooo I thought Garrick got there first.

 

[Blair]

Saab in. Gee, are we all that? Finals contenders? I think we're being really exposed.

16-all.

 

[vvvrulz]

What in the blue hell is our defence doing.

 

[vvvrulz]

Where on earth is Montoya standing all night?

 

[Blair]

A typical late-season Warriors joke is unfolding here.

22-16, Manly. Halftime. A Saab hat-trick.

 

[vvvrulz]

That left edge needs a huge rocket from Webby

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Oooo I thought Garrick got there first.

I relented and turned the commentary back on, Monty couldn’t see a touch at all from Garrick, but eagle eyed enough to see a touch from a thumb from Olakau’atu, I couldn’t see his thumb move at all, but the look of the try wasn’t great and I wouldn’t have complained much if we lost it

 

[Blair]

Sorry guys, we're just not all that.

Disappointing half - where is the aggression in defence

Manly scoring at will down our left edge.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Saab scoring touch rugby tries. Can't wait for RTS to come back...

 

[nswarrior]

Hope we atleast play with more aggression and resilience in the 2nd half. The 2nd 20 was very disappointing

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Disappointing half - where is the aggression in defence

Manly scoring at will down our left edge.

Theres no fullback for Saab to beat.

Sorry for those of you who like CNK at fullback but IMO he is crap at fullback.

RTS will be the fullback.

 

[GoSouths]

I am really disappointed with Montoya tonight. Saab could get 6.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

I am really disappointed with Montoya tonight. Saab could get 6.

Montoya and his centre arent calling for the line to come over or the line just isnt drifting over earlier. CNK should still be there for Saab to beat but on all the replays (including the missed try) CNK is just plodding along as if he doesnt want to push Saab out.

 

[Blair]

Well, the old second-half adage, we really need to be the first to score.
