Post Match NZ Warriors v Cronulla Sharks - [Round 5, 2026]

Beastmode · Apr 5, 2026

our entire backline was so disappointing … all of them

Mr Drag · Apr 5, 2026

Metcalf saying he wants to be 7 and Karma said no!

Tookey 2.0 · Apr 5, 2026

I missed the game unfortunately, saw LM got injured at the end, who else got injured?

What was the issue for today?

Metcalf going down again makes re-signing Tanah even more crucial.

Leon Black · Apr 5, 2026

We miss Barney and Capes…. Ford plays way too many minutes. RTS, Pompey, CNK and probably Rocco need to be moved on. Niukore, can’t be resigned. Go hard for some pace that can also defend, AKP or Mellars aren’t the answer, both poor defensively.

A fortnight is a long time in Rugby League, we learnt sweet fuck all from last weeks loss and so did you Webster!

Can't really complain about the officiating. We got a good run with the penalties. Could have been a lot worse.

The Sharks capitalised on our mistakes.

It is fine trying to play a more expansive game. However, there is still a time and place. A few pushed passes when we really needed to play out the set and get the game into a gind which is our main strength.

just CNK. He had the worst performance I’ve ever seen today.

If there was any positive in all of that it would be that it was refereed really well, which i'd then worry about because we all know losing teams tend to get shittier calls... cnk was very very bad... was very noticeable that boyd stepped it up for the brief time after metcalf goes off, so yeah the theory that they don't play together well probably confirmed ... still, we have a genuine team here - parts are falling off the side, but there's hope

Boston Boy · Apr 5, 2026

What a predicament we have with our halves, one is a clone of Cooper Cronk without the ability to tackle while the other has the potential to challenge for the Dally M but can't stay uninjured for more than 10 weeks.

Do we put Ali L in at centre (He won't defend worse than CNK)? I say yes.

CHT back to 6.

Forwards were decent today I thought, it was all the mistakes from the backs that killed us. Perhaps 3 trys directly from stupid mistakes? Some poor decision making.

I'm done with Metcalf.

Talented, yes.

But he barely plays 50% of a season.... You can't build a team around that.

Naynay · Apr 5, 2026

Yeah look hope met and cnk are okay but silver lining is it’s basically back to the winning team

BabylonPink · Apr 5, 2026

Weby has tried to have his case, and eat it too.
Over egg the pudding if you will.And it's fucked him in the arse. Like the bottom he is.

Dannevegas · Apr 5, 2026

The one positive today was Demi and Tanner.
But Geez I sound like I broken record but our backline is by far the worse in the comp. Do u think any of these young Testosterone fulled backs give a fuck that they’re marking up against any one of ours?? They’d be licking their lips

Could be worse, atleast we aren’t dumb enough to offer an injury prone player a long term contract.

Just CNK? Are you kidding me

Balance of the team, Laban, Boyd and CNK defensively, mistakes galore, no marker at the play the ball twice, A Grade park errors, poor use of the interchange. CNK should never play 1st Grade again, RTS and Pompey not far behind. All we be selected next week to be given the chance to atone as per Andrew Webster usual M.O.

Jaffa J · Apr 5, 2026

A note to Webby not to change a winning side nor put a player back from ACL straight into the lineup

Dal, TSS, Demi, Egan our best players rest were woeful a spray does need to be had but Webby isn’t that type of guy some of our backs are lucky to not be dropped

Boyd is a priority signing now get it done Cappy

Ryno 2.0 · Apr 5, 2026

Man defensively our edges are fragile and way too many errors.

So important to hold onto possession, and was frustrating to watch us hand the ball over with simple dropped balls.

I am actually looking forward to the Storm game, they are on a losing streak like us and we probably field a better defensive team next week with Capewell and CHT back.
