Post Match Warriors v Dolphins - [Round 22, 2025]

[BangBro's (still banging)]

He's a one trick pony who works part time.

Yeah maybe its because hes been average, and last week he looked more on.

 

[Noitall]

Still not great but I saw some improvement in his runs

He made the 10 metres that props are gauged by at 9 runs for 90 metres. Needs to be better defensively though I reckon

 

[Kav1]

Been feeling physically ill after that loss, really rattled me but as another poster said, what goes around comes around and it's fucking coming around hard. Frustrating to have to accept that our Top 4 chances are gone after the hard work they put in to get there.

If I take a step back though, nobody was expecting this team to be so competitive this season with all the departures and inexperienced guys coming in, so it's positive to see how well they've come along and hopefully it will pay off in next few years. Doesn't make last night any easier to take though.

Bulldogs next week... Christ

Christmas

He took great happiness from the story about the Wahs losing again… after he opened with NPC wank wank

Rugby fanatic - watch TV3 sports news instead

 

[kos]

No doubts he was great
For me there was no one better than Erin Clark.
Was down and dirty and did the tough things

Ive been a Bunty and even bigger Ale fan for years now, but its never going to happen.

Laban, Demi and Leka have passed those guys and now we are looking at the next crop of juniors.

Yeah but props dont reach their best till around 30
Bunty 28
Ale 26

These guys must have done really bad things to be left right out

I dont personally like this total prop set up of mobile lighter props.

There is no punch forward and less dominant tackles.


TSS will come good no doubt but I cant see what he offers.

 

[Kav1]

Really struggled this year with all the close ones not being able to watch parts and leaving the room, nerves have been shot. If there was a camera I’d probably be locked in a psychiatric ward ranting at players and refs, adding appreciation and encouragement though too like they can hear me. I’m at peace that I can see with my own eyes that we’re headed in the right direction and some fortune and perhaps a couple of tweaks away from a really special period. Can see with the development of young guys that the right people are involved in the pathways and players are better under Webster’s coaching enough not to be encouraged with what’s in front of us. On the nerves though, it’s just something I’m going to have to adjust to because we’re a grinding type of team and there’s going to be many more to come and I like that because defence wins games

Apart from the Storm game, I have been proud of the team in maintaining their effort. Not beaten by much and not winning by much but with great attitude despite adversity. We will not be giving our top 4 ranking away without a fight. Be positive!

Have to say the ratings for this match are really varied...some people have rated Webster the Highest, some the Lowest, some rated DWZ the highest, some the lowest.

Ying. vs Yang
Left vs Right
Smart vs .

Pick your poison.

As was mentioned in the variation of the player ratings that we all obviously see the game in a different way to a degree. I too have been proud of our performances throughout the year as I was against dolphins. Whether we played the titans into form, they showed that against panthers there is a decent team in there when they want to play and dragons getting raiders should remind us that despite ladder standings, anyone can knock anyone over in the comp. I haven’t seen anything that isn’t fixable in our performances and would rather now to be figuring out some combinations than in a few weeks time. Hugely written off when Barnett and Metcalf went down, we’ve shown we’ve got a squad with a next man up mentality, injuries are being cruel now though. Don’t take it as pessimism from me though, I’m definitely not writing us off

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

Kafusi gets 2 weeks for a potential season ending injury. What a joke

 

[Wrighty]

Looking back at the replay - it looks like Leka perceived he was offside so decided not to participate in the final play.

 

[CWC]

I think we need ford atm without Barnett. I also think he offers more than the likes of Tanner who is lowkey just a lesser version of Ford.
But yes lack of impact through the middle is why we’re getting beat in the middle lately. Ford, Fish, And Tanner are the 3 of the 4 props webby prefers atm and they all have little to no impact in the carry even Marata when he’s in the middle doesn’t offer much.
Including injury’s this is the prop rotation we need imo
Fish, Afoa start Ale, Ford bench. Don’t know when Demi’s back.

TSS feels like the better and more disciplined version of Jazz… Won’t do much against in form or big teams, support character type

 

[Zaggo]

Looking back at the replay - it looks like Leka perceived he was offside so decided not to participate in the final play.

Is it just me, or is that incredibly dumb?

Even if he got binned for it and they got a penalty, it would let us set our line and they'd still need to score from a single play.

Opting out entirely is the worst outcome.

 

[Kav1]

I went into the stats to find some ammunition to diss Jackson Ford given my agenda to run him out of the team but was surprised to find he wasn't the biggest liability on the field last night.

Negative Plays Leaders
Ford - Errors 1, Penalties 1, Ruck Infringements 1 = total 3 negative plays
Erin Clark Errors 1, Handling Errors 1, Penalties 1 = total 3 negative plays

Your "Winner"
Leka Halasima 2 Errors, 3 Handling Errors = total 5 negative plays

Plus one aerial try

 

[Kav1]

Healey's point of difference was two fold.

• Outright speed. He's quick off the mark and can catch lazy markers out, as he should.
• His ability to flick the ball wider than one-out from the ruck. The wide ball caught the 'Phins on the hop a couple of times by making things less predictable. Also keen to look for the offload.

I think he should be on the bench to cover for Egan. Impressed with his toughness as well

Love this personal accountability

With them being down a man, we should have been able to trust our defence, even with Leka out. This is a team wide failure.

I think the club will deal with the way he handled it privately and as fans there isn’t anything to be gained by over analysing what the 19 year old did.

Teenager. He gets a pass.
What’s DWZ’s excuse?

 

[Cces]

Leka went down, & stayed down, when attempting a tackle on Tackle 3. They scored on Tackle 5. Unsure how there can be any suggestion he remained prone for 2 plays because he was concerned he was offside

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

Laban out for the season with a broken leg

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Laban out for the season with a broken leg

Fucking Kaufusi should be out for the same amount of time the mug!!

Fucking Kaufusi should be out for the same amount of time the mug!!

Apparently the club sent a statement wanting the charge upgraded but was rejected by the NRL.
