Not sure anyone else has answered your question so I'll give it a crack. When I watched the replay on the live coverage I thought Niukore ran through the line rather than stopping in it and the contact between him and the defender only happened because the Dragon made a defensive decision to move towards, reach out and grab at Niukore. I haven't watched it again though as I can't bring myself to sit through that "highlights" package.
Certainly beats the days of having a players wife talking shit on social media! I really love how the clubs culture, continues to develop, especially this season. We used to joke and call Robbo Alpha Mohawk but he’s done something wonderful with his recruitment
Warriors: Round 24
James Fisher-Harris and Andrew Webster chat to the media after their Round 24 clash against the Dragonswww.nrl.com
Always love Webster’s subtleties, talks about Tuaupiki with no sleep, but thanks his partner for letting him play
Taine is great on attack in their 20 but lets in a lot of tries and consistently in the wrong place on defence.
No one else can either. Look at our meagre points for and against. As much as I hate to say it, we are pretenders not contenders. Still it would be nice if we achieved top 4 given our injuries, particularly to key players.
Once again apart from the odd lunatic the majority here have already stated it wasnt a great performance.
I think i see the issue tho....you still actually think we should win the Grand Final with the squad we have....your not the only one tho. But it is funny seeing the toys get thrown out of the cot when this team inevitably dont reach those standards. I accepted this at the start of the season hence why despite the form of late to be in the position were at is a massive over achievement in my books.
But good luck if u think a halves pairing of Tannah Boyd and Chanel Harris Tevita are going to take u to the promised land.
We have the worst attack in the top 8 (top 10 actually), our wins and position had been built on the back of good defence and a high completion rate hence the grinding nature of our games. The continuous injuries to key players and disruption that causes have eroded those basics and we dont have probably the class in other areas to compensate.
And thats not a knock on Webby. He can only play the cards he was dealt and tbf it was working for him until the injuries really started mounting.
Too soon to use a ladder predictor - put it to use after the results of remaining games to come for this round
I think most people dont want to just put a fast player in when they are pretty deficiency , all good he can make a break and go 50 metres but all three of those players let in so many tries
I think his overall performances this year have been much below what I expected. May be, he has reached his pinnacle and, there is only one way to go from there. It will be interesting if he is selected for the Kiwis this year.
or better still, laugh out loud and dry those tears. We have just survived to fight another three days
Ye. why does our fullback only attack the one side? Makes the defence easy to read. The opposition can just stack that side leaving our left side with little to work with. Which is why by the time we do a move and the ball reaches the wing he’s got 3 guys waiting for him. Nek minute dallins jamming on the back rower and they’ve got 2 spare players in space
I want three testicles but that fat bastard Santa can't read....
I was hoping more when we scored our first try.
And could always have bought Egan back on at the end. We only used 7 of the 8 interchanges I think
All three games
To clarify, I'm not taking it seriously - but my point was to show that there is a reality out there where playing top 8 is not guaranteed. Also, given the injuries and form slump of the team, it is a very real possibility that we don't win any of our remaining games. Being blind to this possibility doesn't help anyone either.
