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

[kos]

Hello Kos.

We can disagree if need be - but wording is key to my post.
They are not playing like the Harlem Globetrotters you are correct. They are playing disciplined Webster ball.
BUT THEY WANT TO PLAY HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS STYLE.

And it comes out every now and then

TMM admitted it in the interview last week post match
"I think we should play more eyes up footy and take more risks, and if it doesn't come off that is ok just defend it".
That sentence is code words. When the warriors talk about wanting to play eyes up footy that is code language for wanting to play harlem globetrotters style.

They all want to be like 2005 grand final Benji.

"Want to" is the key phrase not "they are currently playing" if that cryptic finish to this post makes sense.

It’s called
Jungle Ball

Watch that 2003 game

CHTs first attempt was very close too. His second was deflected by an offside Mahoney.

Holmes and Townsend are noted field goal kickers.

You are being too hard on CHT. His attempts did not look like someone who doesn't spend time practising.

There was a big stink at the start of the season about how the bunker was going to review all drop goals this season, checking for illegal blockers. Surely they could engage their brains and look at markers being offside when charging down etc.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

That has to be the standard if we want to compete with the top clubs.
No excuses.

Yep raise the bar of expectation and ascend this club into premiership winners

Burton and that outside back looks offside from their first try.

Looked alright live. But Xerri is a drug cheat and Leka skinned him. But I reckon the shit was what they got away with in terms of foul play while we can get pinged for an infringement from 1997. Its the 110% rule. While everybody else gets piggy backs and free rides, we need to give 110% to win.

I'm not benchmarking myself to those miserable Cows (excuse the pun!)
That performance last night was not good enough for FG.
Not just the kicking. This decision making in clutch moments was worse than Hynes.
There has to be consequences.
Back to NSWCup and put Tuapiki to #6.
Next man up.

Just saw that Salmon is getting a three week ban for his late hit on TMM but it was all cleared on field and didn’t deserve a penalty?

everyone could see its a penalty except for the two cheats holding the whistle..

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Ayo?

Its my opinion of why such obvious reffing disparities are used against us

 

[Inruin]

I would find it hard to believe they’ve been practicing as their daily routine. They had multiple chances right in front and chose not to take it or failed to convert

DCE made it look so easy winning it last night for Manly

1/2 hr a day on drop goal practices and we win last nights game

DCE has been playing 7 and kicking for how many years? Man, even Burton struggled and the one he got still came off the upright. Not overly fussed about the drop goals. Our overall kicking game needs more work though. And also more work on our no look passes.

Chanel been spending too much time with Egan. Tbf Wayde has gotten a lot better at them

I am double posting this in both his thread and here as this is third best hightlights package for a warrior I have seen behind SJ and Roger's even though it is only two minutes long.
I am giving Leka a nick name borrowed from the Big Show Glenn Maxwell in cricket. Leka will now be known as "show time" for me. Watch this clip and see why.

It reminds one of the Manu incorrect binning when the refs forgot to turn off their comms gear at halftime and were heard to say something like it’s ok it’s only the Warriors!,,

That's exactly what treatment we receive and it's prejudiced to our detriment and we have not yet won the premiership in spite of it.

 

[Rick O’Shay]

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

Execution was the issue unfortunately

TBF the 2nd attempt from CHT was straight in line with the black dot until it deviated from an offside Mahoney.

 

[Rick O’Shay]

That's such a grand imperial thing to say bro!

Wiz hasn't posted today

 

[Possum11]

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

Warriors will make the top8 but will be 7th or 8th spot.

Let's flood the nrl email asking WTF

Steps like SJ and RTS back in the day, is a back rower who can run down wingers.

Did I mention that step

Seems like a very impressive young man who has the backing of his family and a ton of talent.
Hopefully he has a very successful career with the Warriors

 

[run_it_str8_again]

I understand why my post was taken down.

To rephrase in a more appropriate manner

We are playing in a league that does not like that we exist or excel or heaven forbid might win the premiership. So all levels within this league are biased against us both historically and with evidence to back it up.

Even before the Warriors entered the competition it was targeted at NZ reps around about the week before a test match. Anyway that'll do

 

[sballer7]

Sometimes it's best not to criticise the refereeing (ala Ricky Stuart) and be regarded as a whinger. ie stay onside with the referees and Graham Aynesley and you get a more sympathetic approach in future.

Whens that going to come to fruition?
