We played great the first 20 minutes, then with Lawton in the bin looked very fragile. Despite that we still looked okay on defence one Lawton came back.

I dunno, looks like the ambush is on. We're cracking them on the edges, keep grinding up the middle and let those players on the edge get a bit of space. Jeeze how nice would it be for us to crack 40 here.

Although I admit I'm dreaming and would be very very happy with a 1 point win

I'm wary of Dessie's halftime rev-up.

In fact, I might be switching-off, and watching a dvd with the mrs. After 26 years, my nerves are shot.

Good luck, guys.

You know what?

I f**king love watching Hiku play.
He is the epitome of the rugby league that we are about.
He's a bit crap sometimes, but he's fun to watch, is usually great in attack but has some dumb moments.

I hope we keep him!

Yeah he has the occasional stinker but he’s got footy abilities no doubt

Manly hit back to make it 14-26, could be another photo finish.

We're keen though and I like that.

Only 4 points up but we put in a good set to go the length of the park with a decent enough kick.

9 mins to go!

Typical Warriors finish. never seem to be able to relax until the final whistle. Thought Perenara was going to dud us at the end.

Congrats lads, one of those game where both teams walk away cursing that dickhead with the whistle

Big effort to come back twice from 16 down but a bridge too far in the end, key moment in the game Taupau being knocked out cold, he was starting to absolutely tear the middle up, probably won’t get much agreement lol but that’s a classic send off, 10mins was a soft call from the refs

Thought 2 errors we made were big turning points. The RTS 6 again error after 20 mins when we were up 16-0. Next set Lawton goes to the bin and then they score 10pts. Then in 2nd 1/2 Hetheringtons 1st tough after coming back on from sin bin and he lost it in the tackle. Manly score next set to bring it within 4 with 10 to go. Just errors that the top side don’t make at crucial times. Where we make them week in week out.

Still bloody happy with the win though. Did i read yesterday the Warriors were paying $4?

Opened up at $4.20, came into $3.30 when Sironen and Thompson were ruled out last night

Historically, those are the games that we lose, especially when we get a man in the bin let alone 2.

Both teams with probably equal injuries and equal adversity throughout the match, ended up putting on a decent spectacle for the fans. Some brave ones that ventured out to brookie in that weather

Best first play ever by Warriors?

FMD is right DCE, taken out on first tackle in the wet.


Tafua knocks down a pass from Hiku near the line.


6 more restart for Jazz.

Another 6 more as put Harris down on held call.

Next penatly for DCE offside.

Herbert catches a Nikorima kick and scores. Great catch in the wet.

Herbert earns a penalty in our half when interfered in ruck.


4 player slipping make that 5 in the first 11 mins.

Off the back of another 6 again with Jake not at marker.


0-10


Manly get a set restart and throw a forward pass from Dummy half.


Jennings scores in the corner.

The shape on attack is unseen for years.

2 man overlap, thought Pompeii threw it to early. Elliott threw a foot out but didnt collect.


0-16


Finch in the bubble???

Payton brough him in.


Auckland weather advantage?

Manly hardly win in the wet.


RTS loses a kick through from Manly and thry get it back.

Jazz penalised inside the 10m.


Lawton in the bin for tackling Jake without the ball. As Jake held up over the line.


6 more as Brown offside at marker holding up Levi over line.


To much possession and a man down, offload by Jake creates a 3 on 2 and Funa scores.


6-16


Funa-Blake out


Nikorima taking ball out, Blocker questioning it, does he forget we have a man in the bin and it can take some time off the clock?


Manly restart.


Herbert called to knock on, captains challenge, through and hits his knee, no Manly touch. Ball going backwards the whole time and still called knock on.


Manly score off the scrum.

10-16


Lawton back.


Hiku loses the ball on the 20m

Hands on the ball but driving into ground loses ball.


Jake loses it on the last tackle.

Captains challenge.

Challenge lost. All done for the night.

Next play Herbert loses ball under attention from Manly shoulder.


Manly knock on off a Kapow offload.


Great work by Hiku, drew the winger and no look pass put Herbert in the corner.

Hiku a strike centre on his day.


10-20

Interesting half of football.


CTH grimises as he kick the first ball. Groin?


Elliot pinned in goal of Nikorima kick.

55m drop out by Manly!

Tackle reset. Tafua knock down.

Beautiful work.

Hiku now has the set, tries against all NRL clubs.

Green been the handbreak???


Kapow offload to DCE caught by RTS, but kicked ball touches Jennings on dead ball.

Back to back restarts then a strip has us on the line.

Touched and back to Zero.

Knocked down by Nikorima. 5 sets in a row for Manly.

Heatherington takes Kapows head off. Lazy swinging arm. Seen worse, from front shot first point of contact hand on shoulder. Reportable but 10 mins???

Shit we defend it. 7 sets. Burr touch missed.


Wide open space for DCE wide kick, manly knock on with Jennings racing in.


Manly set restart inside our half.

It was pretty blood wet, surprised not more errors, completions in the 80s.

Errors from both team created opportunities.
