Unlucky. Heart & Guts.

Not often you rate a loss and A

 

[Dlenai]

A game that confirms we are going deep in the finals this year

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

What a game.

We are so freakin close to the top dogs.

Next weekend, focus up.

Reload for August,

 

[MaybeTop8]

Cracking game. Great work warriors

 

[Bippidydoodah]

That's an A performance. I'm gutted we lost, but Penrith won the 50/50 calls, the boys played their hearts out.

 

[sup42]

We are the REAL DEAL WARRIORS WHANAU

WOOHOO!

 

[CWC]

We’ll be fine in the playoffs

 

[Makasene]

Pompey has to go.

Good for depth. A solid journeyman that average teams need.

We are not average.

Niuokre can go with him.

 

[Zaggo]

What happened to Leka? Only played 41 minutes and did sweet F.A

 

[Mr Drag]

Better a loss tonight than the Grand Final

 

[Zaggo]

Pompey has to go.

Good for depth. A solid journeyman that average teams need.

We are not average.

Niuokre can go with him.

Pompey was OK. Kicked the goals at least.

Niukore is an absolute spud. Incredible how such a big bloke can have such little physicality.

 

[Jaffa J]

Plenty of opportunity to win that but didn't capitalise can’t see us beating them full strength just look rattled at times with no options we lost to the panther b team

What happened to Leka? Only played 41 minutes and did sweet F.A

We were wondering the same thing.

 

[BRING DA RUCKUS]

This confirmed for me the Wahs are a quality side. But I think its better the boys lost that game cause some individuals played way too casual.

 

[Worriers]

What happened to Leka? Only played 41 minutes and did sweet F.A

Was wondering the same thing! Imagine if he got that offload instead of Laban!?

 

[Victor_Radley's_Scrotum]

Fuck Ivan, Fuck the Panthers.

 

[Beastmode]

What happened to Leka? Only played 41 minutes and did sweet F.A

I saw he was injured at the start

 

[mtsmart]

Lacking the finish to nail chances, at least 3 tries went begging for the Warriors. Also, too many Warriors had tryline fever, selfishly trying to be heroes.
