currently in KL with no coverage, but everyone typing give them spoon now, must be bad

Shit, I didn't realise it had kicked off.

What the fuck sort of last play was that while hot on attack?

That’s a 1-3 tackle play, for fuck sakes have a go, create some deception, something different than a one out runner smashing into the defensive line.

from what I am hearing it might not be a bad thing you're not watching

Gunner

Better.

Got a roll on through the middle, then shifted it to the quick guys.

Harris-Tavita scores.

Well, I'll turn over at the end of the rugby - so I'll get a half of bad.

Gunner

Tuapiki, makes something from nothing!!!

mariner4life

Lol we're in front!

Tommy Turbo having a stinker.

Gunner

I still don’t get these “6 agains”

Seem to get called when nothing obvious has happened.

antipodean

Dropped that cold. And unnecessarily too.

Gunner

Try awarded to Manly, but on replay the winger has dropped that.

Can’t be given, surely!

But hang on it’s the NRL, try awarded.

What a farce. Every day of the week the NRL rules that a knock on, but not today.

antipodean

@Gunner I'm convinced the bunker is manned by the dumbest available people at the ground.

mariner4life

Well that's fucking bullshit right there

Gunner

Warriors need to dig deep here, Manly are having their inevitable patch in the 2nd half of dominating possession…

mariner4life

Olakauato is a fucking massive human

Gunner

I get that 6 again, after Wayde deliberately got held down after that break…
However that’s a professional foul, shouldn’t it be a penalty and sin bin?

Confused.

Anyway Wayde scores a couple of tackles later.

Or does he, NRL? Probably not…

Edit. Try awarded.

Nepia

Commentators were carrying on like dickheads for the Saab try. They were essentially saying it was inconclusive but he likely scored before the bunker got involved, then when the bunker said the same thing they had a melt down at them.

Then silence for the Egan (no) try.

Was pleasantly surprised when I switched over from the rugby. The Saab scored and I thought I was the jinx. 🙂

antipodean

Inconclusive will be the call from the bunker.

Stag

RTS has gifted everything to Manly so far, he has been terrible on the wing, every point has been scored through his horrendous defence and mistakes.

Well at least they're being consistent. 🙂

Gunner

@Stag co he’s a fullback, not a winger.

Criminal he’s not playing there.

Nothing against CNK, but RTS is just the more dangerous fullback.

Gunner

I think we miss Rocco Berrys defence too, hopefully he got through the reserves game today and is a chance to play NRL next week.

antipodean

@Gunner it's genius level coaching to move a bloke in the twilight of his career onto the wing.

He doesn't move he. Industrious but lacking impact

Stag

@Gunner I totally areee, on the flip side Egan has been outstanding.

As opposed to the very limited Pompey?

I think Berry has been really good in the last couple of seasons and would have him in front of Pompey by a mile.

As I type, the Warriors show a lack of composure on attack and turn it over in great field position.

antipodean

What knock on am I missing? It seems inconclusive means not enough evidence to rule in Warrior's favour.

canefan

I was watching the Canes, I won't risk turning the channel over and jinxing the boys, they need all the good juju they can get

We always get a raw deal

The knock on that went half a metre backwards… that he didn’t even touch.

Come on, it’s pretty straight forward

Gunner

Warriors have got to score here while Manly have a man in the bin, I don’t want this going down to the wire.

This is historically true, but we have benefited from this interpretation tonight too.

This is the Wahs we're talking about right? It always goes unnecessarily down to the wire!

Gunner

That’s an important 2 from Metcalf.

30-16 with 8 to play.

It would appear that reports of the demise of our season were exaggerated...

I'm keeping my expectations very low. Best to underpromise and over deliver where the Wahs are concerned

I was a bit worried your previous comment was you getting your hopes up. 🙂

African Monkey

It's why despite the negative comments about the Wahs, they'll never get the spoon because Mt Smart is still a very hard place to travel for opposition sides. I still don't think they're an 8 side, but they'll always be tough to beat at home.

Gunner

What a difference a week or two makes.

Round one, Warriors were one of the worst performers, Manly were one of, if not the best performer.

Cue Warriors being written off, Manly tipped as title contenders.

Both those theories may well be in play, but either way, gotta turn up every week in this comp or you’ll come second.
