Post Match 2023 Warriors vs Knights - Week 2 Finals (Post Match)

I think I would rather have Glen Lamar than Warren Smith who did the Foxtel call yesterday. My heart sank when Vossy did the Roosters Storm game though fark we are going to get Smith on Fox

Just checking if nein is likely going to be showing the prelim, I'm going to be in Sydney for a vacation and not certain of the Foxtel situation.

It’s probably overlapped with Matt johns show?

Matty John's show only starts showing at 8.35 so misses Sky content and also misses Matty John's reviewing the game

So the knights gave away 3 penalties 4 six agains versus our 2 penalties and 2 six agains. Is that correct?

 

[Since95]

Isn't it Webby vs Reynolds

Sounds about right and you known this is true because without Rendiggity they are atrocious.

Also came across this made my day!

You need to invest in platform shoes and stand up with the wave

The feckers listened to me

Yeah Nein get all the finals games

How could he miss that...
I thought it used to be a scrum to the team in possession...

It was almost like he didn't know the rules or was too busy focusing on other things.

Only thing I can think of is that he thought there was a knock on before it hit him which he called and then when we challenged he said something like Warriors challenging the knock on, we go back to the play the ball otherwise because it hit me.

If not, he has just completely fucked it up

So what Cecil?

He let them have two tries from a knock on and a forward pass....not one ...but two tries FFS.

Now if that had been a close game there would have been some controversy.

I don't think it was intentional cheating, just very poor refereeing.

Heyzeuss he had two touchies and the bunker watching.

He got the full treatment from the crowd, which was fully deserved.

The look on his face when Dylan Walker scored looked like total relief.

Pretty much all has been said so won’t try and rehash the same thoughts but add a couple of different thoughts.

It definitely was one of the best occasions in Warriors history.

- Atmosphere: It was a cracking atmosphere no doubt but found it to be more of a party/fun type atmosphere than the 08 semi as the games were so different. Did anyone else smile and think of Bruce when the Mexican wave kicked off?

- Funniest moment: Jazz rub of Curren’s taped up fingers on the bench

- CNK was just everywhere. All heart that guy. He had some deft touches and tip ons in attack which are great to see.

- Fav moment: There were loads but I enjoyed Berry’s try. It was a cracking effort on his part and Dallin. There were 7 defenders trying to stop a try there and he showed some great strength and grit to get it there. The floodgates opened from there. Siro’s try a close second for the feels.

- TMMs defence. I really noticed it today and what he brings comparatively to Metcalf. He will take some confidence from that heading into next week.

- Back 5: Lead by CNKs massive effort, hats off to our back 5. They all had great games. Pregame that’s where I thought the Knights would have the edge and pressure us but we > them all night long.

- It was a true all round performance where we were polished in attack and smothered them in defence.

- Momentum: My last thought is that they will take a heap of confidence out of that and truly believe they can take it to the Broncos. Most definitely they can do it. I reckon it’ll be tight and the longer it goes the more faith I’ll have in our boys.

Enjoy this everybody. Those cold wet nights sitting in bay 29 for seasons on end when we had a myriad of coaches, players who didn’t want to be here, and ultimately shithouse performances, make nights like last night truly special. I tried to take a few moments where I looked around the stadium and tried to soak up what I was seeing. What a fantastic occasion.

So what Cecil?

Just clarifying how those stats are read Cyril. Sorry if that triggered you

 

[Bruce]

Kid played well. Ali to replace him next year though still

It is called depth

when Eric Watson saved the club

To be accurate you had to include those bad calls.

What really topped it off was when I watched the replay with the Fox commentators. Too gutless to call what was farking obvious.

It was flat, the referee saw it as ok...fark off it was forward!!!

Never trust anyone from Fox aye Brucie

Honestly, I had a quick look around but the only frowns I could see were those of Knights fans!!

Stats, sorry I am late ladies and jellybeans
possession 56% to 44%...but in the first 20 min it was about 80%
Completion rate 82% to 78%...the Knights were a good side
Set distance...here is the killer... it ended up 44 to 39 metres...but in the first half it was the other way around.
So the boys really turned the screws with SJ's kicking.
47 tackle breaks to 26
Dummy passes 33 to 4 WTF???
Tackles 335 to 409...that stretched out towards the end
Missed tackles 26 to 47. The Knights are a good defensive side too.
Most tackles Jackson Ford 45
Run metres CNK 299
AFB 10 runs for 117
Mitch Barnett 15 runs for 151
Jackson Ford 17 runs for 188 metres'
Tohu 25 runs for 228 netres
Walker 12 runs for 94 metres
Montoya 20 runs for 160 metres
Pompey 14 runs for 143
DWZ 14 runs for 146
Best tackle percentage Bayley Sironen 85%...but Jackins was over 95% as well.

There was obviously a good game plan they stuck to. They tackled with efficiency rather than passion, as Webby wanted them too.
If they play like that next week the Broncos will know they have been in a game.

CNK and SJ are better than their opposites, I have no doubt about that.

MJ had some crosses back to Auckland, Madge and SJ had some banter about Kiwis selections.
