Despite the injuries and the Broncos getting all the calls they showed some character to stay in the game. We are well covered for fullback but not sure what that means for the wing stocks if RTS or Tuaupiki need to go there long term.

1. I hate blaming the ref but fuck me
2. The impact of Barney was also going to be felt more as the season goes on

 

[Dlenai]

Soul searching time, seems like all of our luck has run out

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Oh well....thank god we banked points early this season

And thank god we get 2 points for the bye next week

Boy we got some work to do

 

[Ever Hopeful]

The last two results are not too serious for our season, but the injuries are. To key people, and in positions we are lacking depth in.

I was stunned when we didn't pick up a wing in the off season. I think it costs us any serious shot at it in 2025. Neither DWZ, Kosi nor Tuaupiki are any kind of real answer. We have to sort it before 2026.

For those who haven't followed it, Kosi has been really good in NSW Cup, especially at shutting down the play by making good defensive decisions. Some just can't keep up with the step up/or get overawed, and it seems he is one.

TT 1 Boyd 7 next game

 

[BarnesNZ]

Did Bunty even play today?

 

[MrFrankWhite]

that last 80m play shows we could have cracked them open if we'd simply been aggressive

 

[Zaggo]

I never want to see Kosi in a Warriors first grade jersey again. He is simply not an NRL player, to put it mildly. To put it more honestly, he is fucking useless.

First half was diabolical. Second half was better but christ we really blew our chances.

 

[Jeetz]

Capes to Center and Pompey to wing next game and Kosi left right fucken out

 

[Rizzah]

Need the bye to regroup, it's been an average couple of weeks.

 

[Zaggo]

Did Bunty even play today?

No? He wasn't even in the team!

 

[Canonball]

that last 80m play shows we could have cracked them open if we'd simply been aggressive

also pfft, that last bunker call showed where the officials were at ... that said, we lost they won... and i resent that

 

[Beastmode]

Poor Kosi was cursed the minute you lot started talking him up during the week…..

Looks like we’re on the slide now ..

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Oh well, at least we have the bye and the tigers next!.........


Right!?............


..............guys!

 

[Makasene]

Seen an identical pattern in all losses

Opposition committed to out muscling us early. Particularly v Canberra & Penrith at Mt Smart and this game.

Gang tackling, get us on the back foot - simple and effective.

Barnett is proving to be such a huge loss.

Bye followed by Tigers, Knights, Titans - If we don't get 8 out of 8 points kiss top 4 bye bye

 

[LeagueJunkie]

Grab Tyrone Salone and throw him on the wing. Get rid of DWZ and please do Kosi a favour and not pick him for first grade again. He's not up for it.

 

[snake77]

A frustrating game. Too many errors especially in the first half. Got some periods where they looked better in the second but couldn't maintain it.

They battled on after the injuries. But the main thing was the first half mistakes.
