Post Match Cowboys v Warriors - [Round 14, 2024]

[run_it_str8_again]

Pretty bloody obvious that SJ should return at stand off and we should reassess his role vs CHT.

Shaun has a brilliant long kicking game and is a clutch player. He should be in the run on side no matter what while he is fit.

However he is no longer as good as TMM as a strike player in the pivot role.

Six or nothing.

TMM is owning the eyes up Jungle ball strike that the rest of the NRL fear from the Warriors, please don't change it.

SJ at 7
TMM at 7 but wearing a 6 jersey
CHT doesn't displace Walker at 14 but if Walker is at 13 CHT can be 14.

TMM is finally who we need him to be.
SJ will be fine in my opinion (every other team respects him or the chooks wouldn't have chicken winged him and offered him big bucks to go there)

We need both playing 6 and both playing 7.

Shaun is absolutely capable of jungle ball and now can play robot Sydney club ball too.

What do they say about the ancient Buddhist paradigm of SJ being too old to play five-eighth at his age but Te Maire being too good to go back to 6? What do we do?

TMM needs to suffer silently until the 2nd day of the Chinese new year where tradition has him going back to parents’ home and vent

Has Barney pushed his NSW case even further tonight?

Yes. He at least will be on the bench for game 2

 

[Neo]

Interesting what TMM said in his post match interview about the attacking structure. Halfback can roam, 6 controls the left and 1 controls the right. Will be interesting to see if it remains that way

Far out his try was all power. Man he even looked like he was jogging into contact. Wow I'm going to miss his talent

Hope TMM's reading this, he could learn a thing or two about patience, the young grasshopper.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

What other teams that finished top 4 the previous - would have the commentators going on and on about the other team scoring 5 tries from 5 seats... just to take the game to golden point. Ridiculous

Its not ridiculous rather than bias, intolerance and fear. Bias against our achievements throughout the game to get the score so high. Intolerance at our strengths being on display. Fear that we will be as good as they ALL know we can be.

SJ is known as one of the better defensive halves in the competition. The eye test tells me that too lol. I shouldn't have concerns for a player that had his career halted because of a brain bleed? Melbourne are ruthless and having someone like NAS running at you all game will take it's toll. And Melbourne are the best at isolating players in a one on one situation. It's a game by game situation for me. I don't want him dropped for the rest of the year lol. I just wonder if we should adjust the team to suit our opponents. I asked for Walker to start & Tohu to come from the bench. For this game i thought we would be better served for this particular game. No need to get your bitties in a twist.

What are you smoking?

Release your inner dragon, Te Marie

Oh wait you did, 3x

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Look. I love SJ.

He's honestly one of my favourite players.

But, every game where we look this cohesive without him really makes me question if he's the right halfback for us.

One on one, he's better than TMM. No doubt.

In Webbys system, however, I just get the vibe that TMM makes better calls.

There were a lot of things wrong when we lost four in a row and made our way down the ladder. SJ was only a part of what was wrong and he is also a part of the solution going forward for this season. He will enhance the team because the team is firing on more cylinders. The anxieties about incumbents returning were well allayed by good coaching.

Webbys system will find space for SJ. The final masterstroke I would love to see is what to do with Mr. Tuivasa hyphen Scheck.

 

[CWC]

Big Dog Berry has some serious run metre average and post contact average lol, it’s a statistical tie between him, AFB and Marata

Love the share of minutes for the pack

Not sure if Tohu and Capewell on at the same time will slow us down. Cape and Ford should not be on at the same time I feel

Ford and AFB have the 2nd and 3rd fastest play the ball, topped by Lussick put him at prop!

Did we Win?

Did your uncle buzz rothfield tell you this? Are you Sam Rothfield ? Cos you're full of shit

 

[Citygirl]

AFB was pretty immense tonight.

Am I the only one who kept thinking Dylan Walker was AFB or did I just need to put my glasses on.

Great game fam. Up the Wahs

 

[Citygirl]

I thought he went missing for a while at the end of that game.

When he was in the bin?

I see you Luke Metcalf. Can't fool me.

 

[CWC]

When he was in the bin?

60-70th min after dropping the ball on the Chad’s head, Tana Umaga would have things to say….

 

[Makasene]

It's actually embarrassing that we are debating if Shaun Johnson should come back into the team while Cowboys fans were posting they hoped Chad would cop it like Reece so they could activate 18th man Clifford.

Wrong. SJ's defence is excellent.

 

[Falcon]
