Post Match Dolphins v Warriors - [Round 11, 2025]

[tajhay]

Don't think I've heard Capewell's name so many times in a game

credit where credits due though. he was great. needed to be as well with dwz's game awareness/defence on the wing.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Tigers fans seem to have this weird complex with us this season.

Can someone sign up to their forum and rub it in??

Wests forum response to our 5 game winning streak:

"Stevec said:
Obvious knock on by RTS but ref says knock back
Blòody ridiculous by ref Gough
Warriors lead pens 8-2 in their favour
Warriors the least penalised team in the NRL
Something smells
The NRL want to grow the code in NZ
are officials told to go easy on them
Warriors beat Tigers on a dubious pen with scores 24 -24 after we had 2 tries disallowed
They are in 2nd with a for and against typical of a team in about 9th
But they are the sweethearts of the comp
Credibility important Vlandys and Abdo
"

haha. Jealous that they're not the feel good story for the year?

Sorry, it was my first team so now it's my second team. Just calling it how I see it.

 

[Makasene]

Never get tired of winning.

We are asking to get bitten though and soon enough it will happen.

 

[marv.]

everyone taking about SJ in the studio.
how can we get that in NZ??? kevin walters almost sucked every ounce of life out the game.

Can’t help when you’re a team losing 0:64

Grinding away, winning is a habit.
Pompey is definitely getting better, and is a first choice centre.
The combinations are getting better, and the halves are helping win games.

pity you didnt leave your trademark love for TMM and dislike for Metcalf on there.

 

[Dannevegas]

Leka back to the bench. For maximum impact, where’s his footwork gone just running straight at defenders like everyone else in the team.
He’ll be a very good 80 min back rower very soon I just think we need to slow the process down a little bit and let him do his thing. One of the most dynamic runners of the ball when he’s on.
50 destructive mins a week.

 

[Get them onside ref!]

Plenty of times
We have had blatant bad calls against us
Nice to have some go our way

Yeah I felt he tried to hard
But he’s got to learn to hold on to da ball

Similar sentiment in the dolphins forum were apparently the ‘fairytale story’ this year and getting the rub of the green

He's reliable af. Not going to score tok many length of the field tries, but has recently found penetration through keeping his legs pumping.

To be fair I’d be fine to be carried to a premiership like the cows/bunnies/sharks were in recent seasons lol

 

[Inruin]

Like I said. Just calling it how I see it. I'm not the only one that thinks our attack is lacking, despite our dominance in our forwards and nearly every other stat. And I don't dislike Metcalf, he is a good player, he's just playing the wrong position.

 

[Jeetz]

capewah is a fucken beast

 

[shuffle]

Halasima is looking like a NRL Veteran! Sucks he’s not making an impact as some of us would hope but damn he’s doing the 1%ers really well atm!

Laban made a definite impact! Scored an important try and is building nicely too!

 

[RobRoyMcCoy]

We were much better than them and we deserved to win.
Our forward pack owned them.
Best game by Marata ever.
Him and Leka are lethal.
I loved this win.

Agree. I thought last week's game was one too many at this stage. We're losing his impact. I think Laban could be swapped in for him. That way they can rotate their turns and get used to the week-to-week grind without wearing out mid season. Better to rotate them than wait for a form slump and sack one of them. I truly believe Laban is ready to start a few matches. Let Leka freshen up a bit and play in rampaging bursts.
