Gameday 2024 Trial 2 - Warriors vs Dolphins

[ShaunJohnson7]

Really encouraged by the shifts AFB put in too, given this was preseason. It's a pretty good indication that he's not going to be phoning it in for the year or anything.

 

[Defence]

Never occured to me how funny the idea of Ford being falconed is.

Brilliant.

My thoughts on this trial.....

1 And most importantly, Egan is critical to any success the warriors have in 24.

2 Capewell and niukore positional swap will work a treat.

3 Metcalf is 100% Ahead of Martin, and that's no knock on Martin at all!

4 We are blessed in the Fullback, and centre positions.

Piss poor crowd. Sell out my arse.

Winning will fix any issues he might have with potentially phoning it in

Shout out to Mr Capewell definitely fitted into our line up 2 hand salute my friend

 

[Leon Black]

TMM was just as bad passing it to Walker with 2 defenders on him. CHT it is then?

Agree with you all Ben Farr a walk up start to the season

19k there isn’t bad for a trial… but yeah the “sold out” was a joke given half the south stand wasn’t used.

Wasn’t there but it didn’t look like 19k on the tv. A shame a lot if the members didn’t turn up.

I saw 14k on the big screen at one point. Can't remember when.

 

[Wah's Up]

Metcalf was good tonight.

Looked way better playing on the right. He is right handed. Few good kicks and passing right suits him.

 

[NZDoug]

Watched Broncos -Seagulls and it looked like 7 peeps watching!
If money talks were flying

 

[Riz]

You think your love child scores that try by Ali if in the same spot ?

Nope, but he doesn't give Te Whare his try either.

 

[PhilsySH35]

Depends if you like Vanilla Ice cream according to the we should be attacking critics.

He looks great, and we have not conceded a point....kinda the reason we hired him, the nil score line against.....

Our defence actually looks better with him than it did last year, really exciting for the Warriors.

BLOODY OATH!! WOOHOO!!!

 

[PhilsySH35]

Was a nice play from Nikorima, can't do much about something like that. But yeah, nice reminder for Dallen, essentially gifted that to them

Never being much of dallen fan as he too loose in his carries, knocks himself out running it back too hard so looses the ball in contact, however, when he was getting up to play the ball quickly today the tackler had his hands on the ball, how can anyone play the ball if someone has their hands all over the ball!!! wtf, and the ref said he got up too quickly, htf are you supposed to play the ball quickly, I mean Dallen did everything by the book, stood up, bent over to play the ball, and the tackler did not take his hand off the ball, he dropped the ball due hands in the ruck!!! he got shafted by the ref again - what the hell!!! so darn unfair, it's not even round 1 yet and we're getting shafted!!!- are we gonna get shafted again this year??? so pissed off!!!!

 

[PhilsySH35]

One question answered for me. Webby true to his word......Niukore playing in the middle.

Got no doubt over his ability to carry, will be looking how he works and plugs holes on D

Noticed Marata took a couple of head knocks in the game, fingers crossed he's all good

I saw this too. He had already been tackled JMK fell off the tackle and then comes back while DWZ plays the ball and then he drops it. Isn’t that hands in the ruck? The ref had some Gumby calls.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

horrific reffing. Concerning how bad even just for the quality of the game.

 

[Matiunz]

Did you guys and gals notice DWZ doing intercept and going out tackling link player, but our centres have his spaces rounded and covered? Or is it just me?

Saw Montoya do the exact same thing on the other side a couple of times, must be a tactic
