Playing the Mannering role...which is either awesome or crap, depending on whether or not you are Iron Lion.

What planet do you live on?, Mannering has been crap for a few seasons now. He forged a reputation several seasons ago which he has lived on ever since. Warriors lose because of what Mannering has become, because the warriors have became so shithouse virtually across every possible sernario that he coasted to 4 player of the year titles. Now the f@cker cant be dropped because he's a club icon.

Mannering gets injuried and they pick Palavi and all of a sudden a reserve grader for the last 3 years who everybody had packing his bags looks 5 x the player mannering is on attack. And yep the Warriors WIN.

Mannering gets picked this round and I bet you we more than likely lose to Penrith.

Its like Shaun Johnson, at no stage has he looked like he is a half, everything he does is based on footwork and hitting gaps - he is utterly incapable of creating options or pocket plays, - Sounds like a fullback, looks like a fullback so the warriors decide to make him a career half. Finally this year they half acknowledge SJ isnt cutting at halfback so they make him a 6 ........... opps back to 7 again .......F@CK OFF he's neither ... he's a fullback or centre... thats it.

Im shocked you guys dont realize how much Mannering holds the Warriors back. Are you recent rugby league watchers? ...... honestly.

Simon Mannering .....Meh .............meh ...............

7 years ago he had a balance across his skill set last 3 or so years he is just a plodder who is a tackle bot. Ironically if you can tackle at the warriors then you gain legendary status with the warriors fans, Just ask Michael Luck plucked from reserve grade at the Cowboys to become an immortal at the warriors.

Simon Mannering, the more he plays for the Warriors the more they lose, and when he is out the warriors win>>>>>>>>>>>>> I wonder why?

If Simon was a New Zealand rugby player, he will be dumped to club rugby, so limited is his skill set - put him at the warriors and he is 4 x player of the year.

Says it all about what this club has become and why the wood is so rotten.
Your'e hammering your points like your mate Veitchy playing the victim in the Herald. i.e.: its getting very old and very lame.

Probably because I want to support a WINNING football team and after multiple seasons of major disapointments I think it is very clear what needs to happen at the club instead of repeating the same old bullshit year in year out. Leave Mannering out and the odds of us winning improve by 25%+

I'm going to need some statistical data to back up that 25% plus.

And a cookie....I'd like a cookie.

Since start of 2012, the club has had 44 wins in 105 games. Mannering has missed 7 games, of which we have won 1.

Win rates:
Overall: 41.9%
With Mannering: 43.9%
Without Mannering: 14.3%


Get your own f***ing cookie :lol:

While the lack of cookie saddens me greatly, I will push that aside to focus on the numbers.

So it really is 25% plus, just in the opposite direction, but yeah, that Dragons win really tips the scales. Mannering must go. :sarcasm::lol:

Subjecting us to your frankly quite dumb and way over the top knee jerk reactions & opinions on a forum won't make the Warriors a winning football team.

1. Beating the Dragons (who had three tries disallowed) without Mannering doesn't mean Mannering is washed up.

2. You clear don't have the stats or facts to back your argument.

3. Remember all the inside signing knowledge you dropped :lol:

Go give Veitcy a cuddle.

I have the stats - and I see the players who have filled the positions over those games. Also I find Mark Watson gives stronger but softer at the same time cuddles

Anyone would think Mannering f*#-ed Iron Lions Mrs or something, what's with all the hate. How does one become captain of his country and be as useless as you say he is??? Wake up to yourself mate!!!!

Post these stats of yours?

Sure Palavi had a decent game? the Dragons hardly put their best foot forward though, no?
and that was probably the most motivated Warriors team of recent times, no?

Best to not over react I reckon...
