Just felt that was never ours to win tonight. We never really won the middle, the outside backs defense was poor. Bounce of the ball went the Panthers way all night, and the injuries hurt our attacking cohesion. Especially Metcalf's injury issue.

TMM, I dunno, does he offer anything on the bench? This was the situation he has there waiting for, and barely noticed him. If Metcalf is out next week, Boyd deserves the 7 shirt.

People saying Panthers were nobodies need to watch games other than the Warriors.. That pack was solid, and plenty of experience in the backline. Not saying the line up was great, but nobodies? Whatever.
 
Long term, I am extremely worried about Metcalf’s leg. Hopefully he had a twinge and was playing it safe. His leg was strapped the entire game so he must have gone into the game with a niggle. Laban didn’t look 100% towards the end of the game either.

I'm pretty sure he did it on his grubber and chase on the last towards the posts.

A few players around him were signalling to the ref and he very gingerly limped back into defence after Laurie cleaned up the ball.

A possible suggestion of a late hit but hard to know as they never went back to it.
 
Why can’t we ever have a day game at Mt Smart

It’s always cold windy and miserable in the evening

Look at Auckland football when they play in glorious warm sunny conditions… that’s how we should be selling the city

Take off two hours and that's the time in NSW.

We used to have those glorious 2pm Sunday games. Bloody loved them.

Not much of a TV market midday on a Sunday in Aus
 
People saying this is one of our worst performances clearly have forgotten the Titans massacre from last year.
Yeah, and Rd 6 vs. bolts, this season, comes to mind. The cats just had more spark in the first half, you could feel/see it. They played the better game and, Hough, speaking of Better... who better to get beat by than Ivan Cleary?

It's been said, we move on, that's a banana...

I really thought JFH was too pumped (understandably). His game was off of sorts, I don't know what to say, and those Injuries weren't massive but they were Enough to upset Our plan. Heads-up footy when DWZ was fu(ked let in an easy, way too easy, meat pie. "Full Noise to the Left!" - I. Cleary.

Ponies next weekend before the bye. There's 4pts in the bank for us, Guys! ... Well?! Laugh!

Anyhow, I hope you're ALL having a relaxing long weekend 🙂

Up The Wahs! 🖐️😜
