Post Match Bulldogs v Warriors - [Round 23, 2025]

🤖 AI Summary

📝 Summary:

Warriors fans express frustration over their team's performance and officiating after a heavy loss to the Bulldogs, with significant debate around referee decisions seen as biased or inconsistent. Multiple users #28 #119 detail early penalties and questionable calls that shifted momentum, while others #45 #111 argue the Bulldogs' dominance made the result inevitable regardless of officiating. Player performances are heavily scrutinized, particularly regarding halves combinations and kicking deficiencies in wet conditions—user #117 questions the omission of Boyd's long-range kicking, and member #14 criticizes specific players like JFH and DWZ. The impact of injuries on team depth emerges as a key theme, with several users #57 #105 noting the absence of key playmakers like Metcalf and Barnett has exposed limitations in attack and squad rotation. Coaching decisions are debated, including bench management timing for Healey #34 #36 and perceived safe selections, though member #32 defends Webster given injury constraints. Despite concerns about missing the top eight, some members #57 #69 maintain perspective on the season's developmental value amid the setback.

Thier challenge was a bit odd.

It didn't go 10 metres and RTS touched it was their challenge. So, as they challenged two things and one couldn't be proven.

Could't decide if RTS touched it but it did go 10 metres. Keep your challenge.

Teams should aim to challenge two things from now on and throw them off.

Bulldogs clearly the better team even without the leg ups from the officials.

Better game plan, better execution (kicking game of Burton, set completion) and a wall of defence. More disruption to our already disrupted side didnt help but the lack of attack and cohesion on attack evident (as it has been all season tbh apart from a few Metcalf/Leka moments to create from nothing).

Those moaning about CHT's kicking......have u never watched him since u/20s?

That said the bunker and Gee sucked ass......as for Brandy....u could almost hear the glee in his voice.....he can go suck a big one as well.

U couldnt confidently back us in any of the remaining games but geez lets hope we can scrape 1 or 2 more wins to at least keep us in the 8.

Fish the most over rated prop in the game. He’s been outplayed by Clark, Demi and even Ford FFs what a waste of 800k. But he has aura lol. And Marata. Charnze is clearly having a sook because his dad moved him from fullback, 6 runs in 2 games.
Can Webby even coach, get Tangatatoa in. We’ve had the same problem with no solutions for about 8 weeks now. Healey was our best last week and we needed him on at about the 20 minute mark and he’s brought on with 25 to go, with the game gone?? Fucken dumb.

Haha chill dude wow.
 
If I was Cappy and Cam George, I’d seriously blow this roster up — starting with the back five. No speed, no skill, and not exactly hard to coach against.

Potential doesn’t win you much. You need clutch, consistent, high-performance players — guys who can play more than one style of game.

And if Bunty or Ale are going to be ghost-listed, cut them loose and stop wasting spots in the top 30.
 
I've commented that the six-again rule is frustrating. We can dominate but get none, then the opposition get down our end and the ref starts calling six-again.

A few weeks ago we got over early and the opposition queried the ref. It sounded like he answered "Well you haven't been down there end yet". Sure enough we start getting pinged.

I had at how much six-agains the other top 4 teams would conced. I mainly watched the Bulldogs. Tonight was a good example where we'd be getting hit with them but nothing down the other end.

If it is bad discipline than we need to fix it up. A call to the referees boss or questioning it over the off season.

But some of the calls like players retreating back through the ruck are frustrating when you see the opposition do it.

My other frustration is players pushing over the ball carrier. Healey got penalised for it but we often have out plays pushed over again inside the opposition 20. That helps slow the play the ball again when you have to get up twice.

At one stage Alexander said 'Gee got a lot right tonight'... it was truly fucking awful -
 
Let's face it, we're not a top 8 team. I'd rather let the Roosters take our spot; they simply have a better team. This isn't a knock against Webby or the club, but we just don't have the strength to compete with the top 8 teams now. We have been gutted with injuries and I don't need the stress of watching them get pumped in the finals. Let’s finish the season by giving the young players some experience and focusing on playing attractive football. Up the Wahzoooo..
 
Man the regular deebie downers are out in force tonight!

We lost our starting 7 early, whilst not having our starting hooker, captain, centre, whilst the dogs missed Montoya & Tracy. They’re essentially full strength, at home, playing like a top 4 side & needed a bounce back after getting pumped by the tigers. The ref didn’t help & he showed to quickly try even the penalty count in the last 10 mins when the game was gone to make it look like he reffed fair.

We’re a side down on confidence, down in troops & it’s showing. The reality is, we’re not a top 4 side, nor are we playing like it. That doesn’t discount all the heavy lifting we’ve already done to deserve to be in finals footy. We’re probably the 6-8th best side imo if we can get some troops back.

We just have to accept this year as a development year & move on. This year’s still been a mammoth success imo with the unearthing of some juniors who will play for many years at the warriors, have had incredible exposure to what the NRL is & will be better for it.

Chin up ya sooks. We got beaten by a better side but it’s not all bloody doom and gloom, sheesh!
