Because the full match replay came up on youtube I went back to look at the Capewell tackle he was penalised for to see if I could understand what went on there any better. Turns out it's worse than on first viewing - so the original call by Gee is that Capewell takes a player out (Kurt Mann) - which looks odd cos on the TV coverage the shot goes from wide to short at the exact moment of the play - Warriors challenge, the bunker confirms the penalty by saying Capewell made a 'defensive decision' - but in the wide shot you see with the replay you understand that Burton as the ball carrier knows he's run behind Mann and starts the process of surrendering - which contradicts the bunker call by definition, because at that point there's no defensive decison to be made (the surrender tackle on Burton is about to be completed by Demi). CHT asks Gee on ground to explain further - Gee says 'I blew it up becuase there was no disadvantage and you can't just take a player out' - which really seems like a retrospctive reinterpreation because the wide shot confirms Mann contacts Capewell and TSS as Burton goes behind him and not when he starts to surrender - worse, Capewell and TSS actually pull out of the contact and Mann takes a dive (which is the moment when the penalty is blown) in a move that we'll see Creighton also pull out later in the game ... it really is the most fucked call on every count ... and in teh whole sequence you can't really see where Gee is watching the play from cos he's retreated beyond the frame of the shot to set the next 10m line

That’s a very long way of saying Adam Gee is a C**T…

The official NZWF thread for all post match discussion on this weeks game. Celebrate. Vent. Who were your stand outs? Who needs to be dropped? Man of the match (MOM)?

I think the problems for the Warriors started with dropping Tana Boyd, who is the best and longest kicker in the squad currently and on a wet night was exactly what you needed. Our kicks, especially after Martin had to leave the field, were rubbish. Presumably they knew it was going to be wet earlier in the week so I'm surprised at Webster's choices. The other obvious questionable choice was Lussick on before Healey, who was one of the better players the previous week. If Tana Boyd sfarted, you could have Martin on the interchange, start with Healey, and have Martin who can fill either role. Really thought we had wrong players and tactics for the night.

Webster has owned up to some of those mistakes
Pretty refreshing actually
A manager admitting mistakes
Good transperency
