Post Match Broncos vs Warriors - [Round 17, 2025]

[WahsaurusRex]

What a pathetic past fortnight

Will still finish top 6 with the run home, but we’ll be up to fuck all once September actually rolls around after these games.

 

[Makasene]

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.

There's a reason he's in reserve grade and shown the door.

Not the answer

 

[forwardpass!]

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.

Got no one else

Shit in a bucket.

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


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


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

We'll probably play them in form

 

[Dannevegas]

Roger is our best fullback by a mile. Shout out to Charnze for his efforts, but every game Roger has played at fullback since Webbys return he’s been outstanding. Yes Charnze makes 200 metres a game but he has 1 try and 3 assists all year, know where near good enough in a key position. Roger makes things happen he is X factor and is wasted on the wing.

We’ve got 3 days to find some backs.
Dwz, Kosi, Berry and Pompey are average.
Speed kills and we have none

 

[Ferdie]

The Broncos were on and our guys were gutsy.
A bit of luck and we sneak a win there.
Kosi blew a couple of tries that DWZ would likely have finished, and some of those penalties that the Broncos kept ticking over 2 points from were frustrating. 1 from a random scrum penalty, and another for taking out an offside player.

 

[kos]

Did Bunty even play today?

No he was at the ground but as a spare number 19(?)

 

[Zaggo]

Got no one else

Get me out there. I'm old, fat, and slow, but I reckon I could catch at least as well as he can.

 

[Makasene]

Think something else worth noting is not having a true halfback makes it more difficult when on the back foot.

Metcalf has proven to be one of the best attackers in the comp on the front foot. Very quiet when we are on the back foot.

Speaking of Metcalf, where is @Inruin ?

 

[snake77]

I'd have preferred to have played the Panthers earlier in the year. The Broncos have been hot and cold all year but we hit them the second time as they have been improving.

While we are in a bit of a down spot. Plus a few injuries mounting up again.

Probably been banned or having login probs on website like I did

 

[janfin]

Crap reffering sure didn’t help plus all our injuries once again ….Talk about taking out some of our main players …kinda pisses me off

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Post contact metres were virtually non existent. Forwards generally made no impact. Backs were mostly man handled with their hit ups.

In defense we were run over, lost the ruck, gave them quick play the balls and gave away too many set restarts/penalties.

Ed Kosi.. hopefully the last time we ever see that liability in NRL again!!!

 

[Canonball]

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

yeah, Barnett massive loss

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Andrew Gee is a kunt of a cheat. Kosi, goneski. Webby will have Harper start next week just to spite the forum

 

[snake77]

Had a bit of the 2023 final feel to it.

They got going and were hard to handle. We got in a whole and had to find a way out of it.

 

[Makasene]

Really question the selection of Kosi ahead of Taine.

Can't fault Kosi's effort but his selection was costly. Bombed two tries and let one in.

Not sure why Taine has fallen out of favour so quickly.

 

[roguei]

I avoid these threads like the plague after a loss. This one hurts quite a bit as I know we are better. But that first half was awful, can't even blame injuries on it like we can for the second half. Just error after penalty after error. How can we build pressure when we do that shit, it's the bane of our whole game plan as a team. Its beyond disappointing, the broncos did not play well enough to force those IMO. I don't know if a bye will help or hinder. But some kind of change must be found for our discipline to improve.


Metcalf and CNK being out for a while sucks. I hope it's not major. I don't think a new person in those positions fixes the errors we have. Its a fundamental issue.

 

[Bluecat]

We were out enthused from the start and we were playing catch up from there. The Broncos did to our forwards what we have been doing to opposition packs.
The ref played a big part. Although we gave him plenty of opportunities to blow the whistle. When we have the upper hand we don't do the dumb stuff that we do when we're defending. Something they're going to need to work on more.
I'm not blaming Ed for the loss because he had some helpers out there but I felt he missed out on 2 tries that a better winger would have scored. His defensive play wasn't any worse than DWZ but that's not saying a lot
Two weeks to pick up the pieces and bounce back.
