Post Match Dolphins v Warriors - [Round 23, 2024]

[Worried2Death]

Tell me how many warriors fans didn't turn the TV off and say the same thing after the game.

Something along the lines of 'well, the top 8 is definitely over for us now'

They should do a Real Housewives of NRL. Some people just exist for drama. I admit I was triggered by her latest insta post, I'd probly watch it (only because the wife puts it on though).

September also looking good for a divorce and contract backflip

Supporting the Warriors is like supporting a First Class cricket team and getting bent of shape because Peter Younghusband couldn't score 7 runs off the last over to win the game. The NRL or maybe it is just the warriors have some pretty poor players.
Watching the Kiwis play league is more enjjoyable.

Agree, this is the whole reason I watch and support the Wahz for the Kiwi's, by the way, I've been meaning to ask for a long time, are you the kiwi cricketer John Wright or is he a famous whanaunga of yours?

Tell me how many Warriors fans - with direct access to the teams inner sanctum - did a sarcastic / nasty post like that on a public forum after the game.
That's the issue.

I think it's all the other underlying shit she has done over the year that people are rightly triggered by.

Loving this club is like a slow death by a thousand cuts Wrighty, but I hope you don't give up and switch to another club.
Whatever you do, don't become a Tigers fan, none of your mates here want to see you get into a patten of bouncing from one abusive relationship to another.

Safest switch would be the Newtown Jets, South Queensland Crushers or Adelaide Rams.

Only Ed Kosi could do something like this.. absolutely zero lateral movement… but yeah, he must be Webbys love child

Not gonna lie - that’s gotta hurt!!

Look at the picture. Even Egan, who no longer feels head knocks because of the number of head knocks he has received, felt that.

Did Kosi even try and change direction?

I will be surprised if Ali is available this week. He showed bad signs when he tried to get up from this. Surely he is mandatory 11 day stand down?

I want to get this off my chest. This will be a rant. Feel free not to read this.

I pay $80 a month for sky sports, roughly. That is roughly $20 per week. I only pay the money so I can get the NRL.
Why should I be paying $80 a month to watch low quality sports where I figure if I were 20 years younger could do better than the players I am watching.
When I was 16 we all used to horse around kicking conversions. I reckon right now if you gave me two weeks practice I could be a better kicker than CHT is. I also reckon if wound back the clock to me as a 40 year old just ten years ago that I could put in a better performance than what Ed Kosi turned out yesterday.
I used to be a lower grade club rugby winger and I won player of the day once for my tackling and defence. So I know how to tackle men and how to put them on the ground. I didn't used to jam in from my wing like Kosi does for fear of getting burned if I missed the tackle so why on earth does he do it. What did I know as low level club player that he doesn't know and how can it be possible with all the coaching that he gets that I know more about wing positional defence than Ed Kosi does.
And even if I am delusional that I would be better than both of them and delusional that know more than Kosi or could kick better than CHT that is WHAT I FEEL when I am watching them. And I why the hell am I paying my hard earned dollars to watch players who I think I am better than, and certainly I could find better players than if I just went and watched a High school first XV game. Becase definitely the high school first player would have made those kicks CHT missed and made those tackles Kosi missed.

WHY AM I SPENDING THE TIME AND MONEY TO WATCH RUBBISH PLAY ON MY TV?

Professional players don't make mistakes. Professional soccer players can juggle a soccer ball for twenty minutes. I am paying money to watch professional level rugby league and I am not getting that for my money.
Webster doesn't want to single out the goal kicking or Eds defence because the sport is a team sport. And we win as a team and lose as a team.
OK then let's not single individuals and lets choose to keep losing instead. That sounds like a good plan doesn't Andrew?

I am not a bandwagon fan but I watch pro sports because of the high skills the professionals have which leave me in awe.
The 2024 Warriors are not at a professional level and I they either improve soon or I am going to find a different NRL team to support instead of the Warriors like many Kiwis have chosen to do who show up at Mt Smart supporting the Dolphins or Tigers.

Shades of Francis Meli coming off his wing to nail the opposing centre (only necessary when they have an overlap and speed on the outside - you can't just blame Ed for this situation, Ali and others inside him must be responsible for marking their man.

I agree. This will be a truth bomb for some but nobody can bounce back from that kick he missed against the raiders. He is cooked and always will be. It is not his fault as the captain should have replaced him as kicker in the Raiders game earlier.
But now that the water has flown under the bridge it can't be reversed and it will forever be in his head. I am sorry he needs to be dropped from the NRL or be reinvented into a completely different position than a half. He can not be one of top three halves for next year. Release him and end it. I am sorry for hurting Chanel fans with that statement. But he is cooked. End it. End his career.

He is not our first choice goal kicker (Pompey) nor our second (Tuari T). He has other skills that the team needs eg kicking in general play.

Metcalf is a good kicker

Metcalf is a good kicker

but hasn't been available. Hopefully gets some gametime this weekend.

I did. But my spouse doesn't get paid a million dollars from the club.

Were you under a rock when she did the same thing at the Sea Eagles?

Why are you being an apologist for someone who has a history of toxic and disruptive behaviour that has caused disharmony amongst the playing group of not one but two clubs?

You like her cookie that much?

Not being an apologist at all. Just bemused that people are getting all sulky over an instagram post from an account you have to join to see the posts from. The post was barely inflammatory. They are leaving in 4 games time. People looking for a reason to get shitty much? Toughen up buttercup

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Your overselling it - @Wrighty thinks he can step like that and he is on the higher side of 400!

Sorry to break it to you, but nothing on the internet is private. If it was, it wouldn't end up here.

They are leaving in 4 games time.

They are leaving in 4 games so let them humiliate the club that's been paying their bills?

People looking for a reason to get shitty much?

Or, some people aren't ok with getting shat on?

Toughen up buttercup

We can see who's the softcock here mate

forget the sprint races. I wanna see @Wrighty at the grand final showing his stepping skills!

I'm still waiting to see him get tackled by AFB for $100.

Do we pay AFB or wrighty?

I'm in either way, even if it's both.

I'll pay $100 towards his rehab.

I have been tackled hard in club rugby before. I could easily wear a shot from AFB for $100
