Post Match Warriors v Cowboys - [Round 9, 2025]

What curse? We've never lost to them in the finals.
Someone posted earlier that with the attempted challenge of the 7 tackle set that Gee said time had expired.
I rewatched and according to the time clock there was 6 seconds between catching the ball and 20m tap!
I thought there was 10secs to make a challenge.
It would have been interesting if there was a successful challenge how the game would have restarted.
I assume it would have reverted to a replay of our last ptb

I have noticed that Ed has a fairly good off load which is useful if he drags in 2 or 3 opponents leaving a gap or over-lap
Exactly. 3 man (Luke) had to sit on the lead runner all the time because 4 man (Marata) wasn't fast enough to release him so Cows got the 3 on 2 on that edge all the time. And with a slow centre it compounded the issue and he Taine to jam like every other NRL winger is coached to do in that situation.
Problem was it was the right side where they were targeting and having success and you’d need to be blind not to see Tuaupiki in no man’s land on multiple occasions. Not entirely his fault and had some adversity losing Berry during the game. He saved the opening try by getting a read right and nearly came up with the intercept, easy for me to criticise sitting on the couch but these guys are out there making split second decisions

Soak up the victory
Take the points
Move on
Looooooog season
We won
You won the battle but you haven’t won the war
Rest
Recover
Reset
He was trying to intercept all game rather than focusing on his man
I’m sure it’s a set strategy
First half he almost got an intercept but knocked it on otherwise it was try time with 2 cows outside
Pompey did exactly the same thing right before half time with his intercept try standing I between two attacking players… they are literally trying to get between the attacking teams line to intercept… Taine showed what happens if you don’t get there in time and they get the pass away…. It’s high risk high reward
Interesting to see Kosi made an astounding ZERO missed tackles yesterday …. to go with his ZERO made tackles…
I've still got tickets on the Taine train.
The train was derailing last night but I still have time for him. We all agree on the point that he is not a winger.
Just keep injecting more depth and continue to evolve our style of footy.
Along with our defense and kick chase we'll be sweet.
Only thing apart from growth for Metcalf is his goal kicking out there.
Sure that'll come in time too because he has confidence in his game.
Ya dammed it ya do
And you dammed it ya don’t!
If u don’t rush them pressure them
They’ll do you for pace any day of the week
TT unfortunately too small
Not lightning off the mark
Not like RTS game breaker
Good fillin like Kosi
That’s it
With Boysenberry constantly injured
Fully understand why we need to recruit winger/centre game breaker
Any ideas folks
Recruit a gun fullback and CNK is mr fixit as backup centre/wing/fullback
Still gotta surpass 2002 for me, my favourite version, with Lauititi, Jones, faafili, toopi campion. Fans packed an Ericson stadium back then.
With this team though it doesn't at all feel like just a flash in the pan, it's in it for the long haul with our juniors prepped from top to bottom it seems like we're pretty stable.
Think the problem with the Tuaupiki tackled in the air non call is a consistency one again because it was pulled up the day before in a similar instance
Reality check.
Our FA is Zero
Attack we’re about 8th
Defence we’re about 8th
We haven’t had a blow out win yet while getting arsenal whipped by the Green machine and Storm
We’ve been real lucky for once being on the right side of the scoreboard.
I remember those lean years not long ago when we were constantly on the wrong side of the scorecard and missed the 8 when we could have been in the 4.
I think we are far from a finished product. One or two quick losses and we’re back fighting for a top 8 spot.
We’re good.
But we’re really not THAT good.
Not yet anyway

Dropping the ball is irrelevant. If that was a bomb and he jumped for it and got tackled in the air, with or without the ball, it's an act of foul play.
