Post Match Bulldogs v Warriors - [Round 18, 2024]

[FormerlyJamesW]

But not even a penalty on the night. Annesley to offer an apology on Monday will make it all better. That costed us a penalty kick right in front, in a game we were backs against the wall & deserved the points. The NRL and the bunker are an absolute fucking joke, and something needs to be done immediately, this happens on a weekly basis & there’s no accountability whatsoever.

I think Aussies just love to annoy the shit out of us.

I've never been in the refs are out to get us camp, but I've always been in the they are bunch of incompetent muppets camp.

- 2-3 weeks for Salmon
- Mahoney 2m offside on the charge down

tough article to see both of those included

It's kinda funny, if you think about it. Like, Australasias longest running joke.

I believe the incompetent muppets are out to get us.

The incompetent muppets are out to get us.

Reminds me of the two old guys in the opera box.

'Thats not half bad'
'Yeah, it's all bad!'

 

[pleatedpantspete]

Hardly any of field incidents
No women beaters, criminals, cheats or off season baggies, no one arrested or pulled over drink driving

we got a couple lol. RTS got his bus card working overtime atm

Mark my words. We are going to miss the 8 by two points.

 

[Brightman]

Jaeman Salmon faces a two-to-three match ban for a tackle on Warriors halfback Te Maire Martin that left the Bulldogs forward with a suspected broken jaw on Saturday.


Salmon was charged with Grade 2 Dangerous Contact for the incident which occurred late in regular during Canterbury's 13-12 Golden Point win at Accor Stadium.

Geez that is an admission of disgusting and incompetent officiating right there!
So how does this admission right any wrongs given the offending player has a broken jaw from the incident and couldn't play during his suspension regardless and his team were spared the loss instead of the incident being penalised and the Warriors not given a penalty shot at goal to win the game!

Disgusting cheats..

Already said it at the start of this thread.

Season is over. Bring in the youth brigade.

 

[Wrighty]

Mark my words. We are going to miss the 8 by two points.

On the upside - if there ever were to be a team who could win the premiership after qualifying 8th it would be the 2024 Warriors

I'm still a bit salty, so if I sound like a prick I apologise in advance lol.

For me, the point your missing is that were not 'relying' on calls to go our way, but I'm complaining about the lack of consistency.

The Montoya hit on Tracy was called back three tackles later for a penalty. The normal ref missed it, but the 3rd ref made a point to halt play and go back to that.

If a referee decides to play it that way, fair enough. I thought that tackle was fine, but if you call that one, then you HAVE to call the TMM one.
To have a stop in play and multiple looks at that, and to determine that wasnt a penalty, yet you're happy to call something back three plays later is weak. Imo it's borderline cheating. They're changing their interpretation mid game, so how can we know where the line is drawn?

I thought at times we were slowing the play down in the ruck a lot and didn't get penalised. The same for the Bulldogs at times too. I don't think you hear anyone complaining about that, because the ref was consistent for both teams.

Someone else pointed out too, look at the shit calls that we've been given in the last few weeks - the RTS binning, the Chanel sin bin for dropping the ball on Chad's head, Laban sin binned for being a punching bag for big red.
They were all shit calls. But, I'm happy for those calls if they're consistent across the board. But they're not.

I don't think asking for a game of footy to be consistent is unreasonable, however any time it's brought up us as fans are labelled sooks. It's pretty fucked really

I agree, and now he is looking at a three weeks suspension so they definitely fucked us

 

[Wrighty]

Yes I don't normally like to blame refs but that decision costed us the game.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Can anyone explain what the change has been between a 60 point capitulation against the titans to almost winning in golden point against a top of the table bulldogs team while having that much ingame adversity thrown at us? Two weeks turn around.

At the risk of igniting cohorts of serial disagreeable people here goes:

People are variable. Our players didn't dig in against the Titans. Instead they shat themselves.

Last night they dug in and hung tough

Did you see Addin's run after Leka's first carry? It was inspiring. There is more to this discussion but that's something to chew on

I am also salty. Losing sucks.

Nothing wrong with what you've said. Good take.

That number of field goals seems incredibly low. That can’t be right.

The Warriors have been awful and getting field goals going all the way back to Stacey Jones. Wouldn't suprise me if Michael Witt was a gun but he wasn't around for long. We've been going 20 years without having someone who can just knock one over nicely.

You’d think the halves would be practising this as part of their daily routine.. obviously not

 

[Jimjam]

Considering CHT was not in the NRL last year, came back as a utility, and has never had a career as a starting half, Im willing to let this game slide and see if he can build for the rest of the year. He seems to have a strong bond with the NSW guys, and is EXTREMELY passionate.

I thought they did well, got into position nicely and had 3 clean attempts.

Execution was the issue unfortunately
