🤖 Thread Summary

Following the Warriors' victory against the Titans, discussions revolved around individual player performances and the team's overall improvement, with many expressing satisfaction about being back in the top 4. Recent posts highlighted the positive impact of players like CHT and EIT, and celebrated EIT's first try, with BangBro's still banging^46 noting Toeava's comfortable presence in the middle. The return of Rocco Berry was also a key talking point, strengthening the defense and kick chase, as Warriors55 #26 pointed out, hoping Berry avoids further injuries leading into the finals.

A significant portion of the conversation centered on media commentary, particularly criticism aimed at Vossy and Brandy by Zaggo #19 and others, for their perceived bias against the Warriors. However, Kestrel84 #166 disagreed, stating he never felt Vossy was biased towards any team. This sparked a debate about media representation and the team's performance. Multiple users like Beastmode #67 and others called for the banning of certain biased commentators, sydneywarrior92 #34 pointing out that some commentators were "death riding" the team.

Another focal point was the use of the bench and player rotations, with concerns raised about Leka's reduced minutes, as noted by BlackToko88 #66, and whether TMM is the right choice for the number 14 jersey, with this being up for debate. There were discussions about Jackson Ford's potential return to the team and who he might replace, with EIT potentially jumping the pecking order and Niukore possibly sliding, as voiced by Warriorsfan92 #147. A point of contention emerged regarding Tino's tackle on TSS, which some viewed as a shoulder charge while others considered a missed tackle by TSS. Furthermore, the discussion acknowledged the importance of securing a top 4 finish to provide valuable finals experience for the team's younger players, a point emphasized by Makasene #241.

In VERY_RECENT developments, the surprise announcement of Hasler's potential sacking at the Titans caused further discussion, Beastmode #259 playfully referencing the earlier Fafita inquiry with the statement "But is he signed for ‘26????".

What is with this talking pt from fox that: "Warriors need to win to GET BACK into the top 4"? We were ALREADY in the top 4 before this week and the win just solidified our position. The entire fox commentary were death riding us from the start. If the dogs won that game, they'd be salivating over them.
Sharks overtook us because of the bye. So because those points are claculated at the start of the round, they were ahead of us.
 
Berry did run back to the other end. I assume he saw out the game as he was down in the 79th minute and running back a little while later.

Now would he have continued if the game still had 20 minutes to go. Don't know but let's hope he is ok and can play next week.

He's being interviewed now so hopefully Halligan asks him about the injury............And no he doesn't.
Don't expect meaningful questions from a pitchside reporter, bro. Even if the player shows up in a pink tutu with no undies, a pair of speed dealer shades, a smoking bifta in his mouth, and a pierced scrotum, the post-match script must always run thus:

"How did that feel out there?"
"It was tough. Bit of an arm wrestle. Good to get the win."
"Well done."
 
Great on field reffing from the top dawg, whether right or wrong was prepared to play the game as he saw it. Made a huge difference of spending half an hour watching the bunker for once.

I thought he was pretty fair, got some calls wrong, which the bunker did correct ( the try from the titans )

Ash Klein would have sent that up a try all day every fucking day

No Sharks were with 2 points from the bye. If Warriors had lost, they would have been in 5th spot. With the win, they jump the sharks and put some space between themselves and the Panthers. The Warriors needed that win.
 
Such an improvement from the last couple of week. Our line speed on D was nearly like we had Barnett back. Defence got a bit shaky at the end but that can be worked on.

Type of game we can build on going into the finals. EIT who was impressive and TSS got big minutes so Webster must be preparing them for the finals. Berry played really well. I can see why he came straight back in. Really happy with the first 70 minutes.
