Post Match 2025 Finals Week 1 -Warriors vs Penrith [Round 28, 2025]

We're taking the loss pretty well so far I thought, we've matured as a fan base. The AB fans are going feral.

I'm a bad kiwi but I've always thought the ABs descent from global superpower status in rugby was good for that game. Rugby Championship is actually a genuine contest this year with Aussies splitting the results with the Pumas and ABs deciding not to turn up tonight.

Six again is a blight on the game. No if's, no buts.

That sort of subjectivity has no part in the game today with all the technology available (and don't get me started on forward passes.)

No one can do to us what the Boks just did though, they'll always be the greatest foe in my world view.

DWZ gone
CHT gone
CNK gone
Niukore gone

New spine members are needed or we are going to be wasting the prime years of our young forwards

Hearty players.
Warriors legends however time to move on.

 

[Dannevegas]

you've been negative for the whole year. Tonight's not the night. Come back and bitch about CNK tomorrow.

Shut up. I can have an opinion on who our fullback should be. I love this club and think we could’ve done a lot better despite us finishing 6th

 

[Five&Last]

Is it weird that I feel we should’ve won that?

We were pretty dominant for majority of the game, all their tries were either extremely opportunistic or just unbelievably soft D (the dummy half try and Capwell completely missing the defensive assignment on papalii)

Like I don’t feel like they outclassed us. Tough pill to swallow. Can’t see Penrith going much further based on that display.

I know it was wet but this game highlighted how we are never winning with a fullback that can’t pass. CNK’s poor pass gifted them the To’o try. He just can’t be our number 1 next year.

Also for sixth billion time can we please fuck off DWZ this offseason.

CHT stepped up and played well I thought.

Was Erin injured? Found it puzzling that our best player all season played the least amount of mins all season in such an important game.

will be super embarrassing if we lose to the wallabies next up. They are genuinely the Titans of world rugby. Score some lovely tries but boy they are dumb af.

Other than the Storm

He tried his heart out tonight
But yeah he’s just not it for #1

I reckon feed him in the offseason and turn him into a Ford 2.0. He’s got the size and motor to transform into a forward. Playing like one anyway. He still has value

 

[JaggedJ]

Yes really think Phins deserved to be in the 8 over us going off the last month of footy they were building we were fading and really we had so many tin-ass wins we could have easy lost and not made the 8

During the last month the Phins had 60 put on them by both the Roosters and Sea Eagles, beat the Titans and were handed a free meal against the Raiders.

They didn't deserve anything.

 

[Leon Black]

AB’s suffered worst home soil loss since 1950 or ever, bad night all round! NSW Cup and Wahine will get the W’s tomorrow

Put this in a rugby thread

Razor probably one try away from losing his job

I agree that 'outclassed' is a little strong. We shouldnt have trouble them as much as we did.

However, their finals experience showed through. Where we left the ball bounce to chance, they didn't.

Ironically, I thought we were (or close to) out penrithing penrith up until DWZ let that ball bounce.

 

[out the gate]

Thanks for the ride team. Not our season once again. Disappointing finish to the season. We'll all be back here next year despite our option on who should be dropped / sacked. We'll still lace up for another ride. Until next year team, look after yourselves.

If they lose the Bledisloe too Andrew Webster might get poached by rugby

I assume that you jest, but some people here may be pretty happy with that.

I think most can see that we were up for the game and put in a shift. Can't fault that. Pretty proud really.

 

[Ref]

Webby got epic performances from every player today.
12-8 with 13 minutes to go and we almost forced a line drop out.
Then they score from that kick.
Then To’o gets the runaway.
At Ref HQ we were humming.
