Absolutely disgusting referring, dogs are a 32-8 better side, the calls were questionable and we had no chance

 

[BrisbaneWarrior]

This was managed, dogs get bullshit all night & the panthers get into the 4

It’s win-win if you’re not a warriors fan

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Sucky night. We were short on quality at the start of the year and rose above it until we lost too much of what we had.

The young guys will be better off for the season we have had.

If you want to see the impact of injuries look at the casualty ward. The Storm have lost Hughes, but for the most part the top four are blessed by angels.

It is not an excuse, it really is the reality and we've run out of steam.

A few of our good players will get turned on by the fanbase now, but they are not to blame as they are cogs in the machine - JFH, CHT, Ford. Webby is a great coach too, let's try and have a longer memory than this last few weeks.

 

[Inruin]

Out coached, out played.

Dragons a tough one up next with Boyd back. Likely lose it too.

I do think if we can get this side we just had against the dogs plus Egan I think we win at least 2 of our last 3 and have some momentum going in to the finals.

Next man up!

 

[Mr Drag]

Thank Trump that's over!

 

[Ryno 2.0]

Was worried about the lack of a long kicking game with no Boyd, I thought the Dogs and Burton kicked us out of the game in the first half.

Lots of changes with HIA as well, thought the boys tried hard though.

Looks like we will limp into the Finals or worst case full out completely which would be a massive disappoint after such a strong start and middle of the season.

Dragons up next who have been grinding out good teams so it doesnt get any easier.

Clark bomb>Burton bomb

We’re a club headed in the right direction, but there will be many more nights like this one before we taste sweet, sweet Grand Final victory

Why did I start believing after the Sharks game? I knew it was to good to be true.
We’ve only legit beaten the Tigers since then and gotten a freakish but lucky win against the knights.

Our forwards got fucked up.
I still back CHT as a 6 but he isn’t a 7 to save himself.
The season was essentially over when Metcalf and Barnett went down.

We might actually miss the 8.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Honest, that game wasn't bad, we just need to get our game on!

 

[bringinthebulls]

Only A this gets is A for Adam Gee needs a hiding

 

[Dannevegas]

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.

We will miss the 8.

Hahah the Mochery Alexander says put Clark to 7

 

[enterthewarrior]

Does anyone know if Craig Bellamy is available next year or 2027? Serious question

 

[Wah u talkin about Wallis]

Hope we hang on to the top 8. Knew we wouldn't get this game. Fish got red mist. Need to buy speed, not the stuff Manu sells.

Wayne Bennett will be!

That was a tough night at the office.

We seem to get teams better performances. The Dogs have been pretty poor in some of the games in the rain this year. Tonight they were good.

We were going to struggle for points. Losing a half early didn't help.

The main thing was not defending our mistakes. A lot of our mistakes ended up as points conceded.
