Happy Grand Final Day **spoilers**

‎1-40 min it was Warriors against Manly and the ref. 41-60 it was an even match. 61-70 it was all Warriors. Then it was Warriors against themselves...

Summation:

The refs and some lethal Manly attack put the Warriors on the back foot at halftime.
Led around the park by a solid game from DCE Manly always looked threatening, except for a patch where the Warriors seemed to get a second wind. Basic mistakes, particularly from Inu snuffed out any chance the Warriors had and a typical DCE-G Stewart-Lyon try at the end capped off what was a good performance by the favourite.
 
The reffing in the first half decided the game ... Warriors finished all over the top of Manly, but couldn't overcome Archer and Cecchin giving Manly a huge leg up.

Lame way to finish the season!!!
 
Not a fan of either team but the missed strip on Mateo and the Watmough east west play the ball were too obvious to miss. These 2 refs stuffed Origin 3 and again in the final, how bad do they have to be before they get sacked.
 
Congratulations to Manly, have been the 2nd best team all year (behind the Dragons) :razz: , deserved to win, have been one of the better teams in the last 5 years and have 2GF's to show for it... Some of the ref decisions were very dissapointing especially the Watmough play the ball, all year that is a penalty come to the GF, nothing, George Rose should have been sent off, intentional foul play, he aimed the elbow and contact was made side of the players head, should have gone.....
 
Great win by MANLY. I take my hat off to the Warriors for sticking it to MANLY for 78 Minutes. I don't think any other side could of given it to manly like the warriors did.
In the end the best team all year won & the HAT TRICK is complete. Also Kiren Forans try WAS a Try< I don't care what anyone saids. it was one of the best Grand Finals in the last 6 years.
 
To Manly and all manly fans on this site, congratulations!!! that was very hard to say!!!
i think i dislike Manly even more now, if thats possible!!!
i hope the Aussies absolutely smash Kieran Foran in the test match!!! for some reason he gives me the ****es at what he does in the back plays!!! the refs must hate his guts!!
To all the Warrior fans- you should be proud of your team, gave us a bloodly good game of footy to watch!!

GO THE BRONCOS IN 2012!!!!

It would dumb for the Australians to try and physically attack one of the Kiwis..
 
I spent the day there.

3 cracking matches and an electric atmosphere.

George Rose should have been sent from the field.
Foran DID not score.
Manly-Warringah far too good across the park. Watching it live, Manly-Warringah were there to play from the get-go.
Vodafone (official NRL website and Facebook name for NZ) Warriors played hard. Gutsy effort...but for mine, a team that gets walloped by 30 points in the first week of the finals, shouldn't have been there in the first place BUT had a good effort. At 18-10, would have been happy, 24-10 inflates the score makes it look like an easier win.
Fans of both sides were very cool, very jovial. Fans of other clubs all cool too. A few empty seats, calls from pundits that 'they were the St George Illawarra fans who couldn't offload tickets'. LOL.
As I wandered back to the train station over-head a group of 40-50 year olds (various teams) wondering if finally Saints fans will take their flags off their cars. LOL!
Brilliant day, great games...if you don't go to the Grand Final...you really do miss out.
 
Mad Hatter, since you were there I'll ask you. What percentage of fans were there for either side? It seemed like more Warriors fans on tv looking at it, but listening to the cheering probably sounded like more Manly fans.
 
I reckon there were more Warriors fans there earlier on...but they did make all three grades. I don't know really but you'd have to say 55-45...leaning to a few more NZ supporters with those people who don't like Manly going their way. I couldn't have cared less. Either side could win it, and I'd have been just as happy.

But the Manly fans did get vocal at the end.

I AGREE 100%

Foran is 100% P r i c k .
 
Well...my missus couldn't go and tried to give it FREE to my Manly loving brother in law. No can do.
Tried a few 'hard core' Manly fans at work. No can do...going to BBQs etc. But then after the match on Facebook banging on about loving Manly and driving from GWS to go to 'Manly territory'.

Not indicative of all Manly fans though. But still...
