This game day thread discusses the Warriors' disappointing NRL season opener against the Raiders in Las Vegas, marked by defensive lapses and ineffective attack from the outset. Fans express frustration over questionable team selections, particularly the underwhelming performance of halves CHT and Metcalf #167#308, while critiquing Andrew Webster's bench management as impactful players like Leka and Demetric receive minimal minutes despite the team's struggles #335#487. Critical posts highlight key failures: CNK's costly errors at fullback #355, porous defense allowing frequent offloads and line breaks #133#396, and stagnant one-out attacking structures that squander opportunities #329#333. Optimistic users #29 predicting impact players like JFH see their hopes fade amid the collapse, with late tries from Pompey #283 and Tuaupiki #406 offering little consolation in the heavy defeat. Coaching decisions draw ire post-match, especially persisting with underperforming veterans like Niukore over energetic rookies showing promise in limited time #525#527.

Had a few golden point games against them over the past few years. No SJ to kick us home. That one where he kicked 2 dropped goals to get us home was a beauty

Looking forward to this , the start of another season of ecstasy and agony ... but today we have a family gathering as my daughter is back from Melbourne for a visit.... so will have a sneaky look on here to check out the comments... always a pleasure to read
Up the Wahs one and all
Don’t want to be negative, but CHT doesn’t bring heaps of confidence in that department. Trick play and set Tuaupiki up for it? Hopefully it doesn’t come that and we have a comfortable win
