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

[Inruin]

I did think that was weird that sifakula was pulled when he was playing above himself. It's like the subs are robotic and he didn't have a feel for how goodbhe was going.

And Egan struggling but still no Lussick. Thought he might have bought a little bit of spark in that second half of the bench against tiring Dolphins

 

[Canonball]

ah fuck it ... should've could've had that ... dumb... they had nothing we had bad luck

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Gee you can't fault our effort and with a number of questionable calls against us.

As much as this loss hurts I'd rather watch this every week where we play football and have variation than what was dished up in the Eels game.

To be honest we got a lot closer than I thought we would when the team was named with SJ at 7.

I'm very much in the TMM 7 and Metcalf 6 camp for next season

Metcalf, Yes. Not feeling TMM. He killed alot of set plays by running himself into players. He loves to go into his shell when things get tough.

Completely forgot lussick!

That was another bizarre call by Webby… zero minutes from Lussick even when Egan was busted .. did he use up all his exchanges ?

At the presser, Webster will come out and say finals are still a chance and we’ve learnt a lot and proud of the boys, did we… same story. let’s not forget the the piss weak penalty and phins took the 2

He took the tackle a bit rather than forcing a pass to players being swamped by defence. The opposite of what CNK tried to do ball playing to Niukore. Not sure how you get going in to his shell when times are tough after that game? Pretty much did all he could to drag us to a victory IMO

Did the exact same thing when he was 6 and SJ was 7.
Not what we need to do better

 

[Roadrunner]

Before nxt season kidnap from somewhere a kicker to ice these close games.A season of small highs and endless lows so far.But I will return again 2025 with the same dreams.Just hope for some guts before end of this season with a win or 2.

 

[Canonball]

what do you actually do after that ? We should've had it... it's a bit sad ... Sifakuka was a highlight, Marata was poor ... ALI OVER THE LINE... ARGHH ... looking forward to next year now

 

[Zaggo]

Using an interchange to bring Jazz back on with a minute left was just bizarre. I have given up trying to understand Webbys bench strategy.

Agree, Question: the penalty try, isn't that 10 min in the bin for foul play by nikorima? if that was us he would've binned us, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

 

[Beastmode]

Kosi was a bit of a hit and miss

Took a nice catch to score yet bombed a few

Missed a few tackles but also made a few

Kneed Ali in the head for dropping the ball on try line.. hard to tell if that was accident or deliberate

Tuapiki on the wing would have been better

Cant be both, altho you could argue that he should have had 10 for the Ali bombed try, like he obviously was offside and played to stop an easy try

generally it's either/or - penalty try or pro foul and 10 min

Hit and miss is generous. He was 90% miss, 10% hit.

He legitimately looks lost on defence.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Individual errors fucked us today.
A baaaad miss by Charnz cost us 6.
A terrible defensive read by Kosi cost us 6.
A freakish try when we're on attack with a great bat back by Charnz cost us 6.

We actually played better than them all game really. We just duffed a few things that cost us 18 points at the start of the game.

 

[kurgal]

Well there's another one that goes begging. Story of the season. Oh well.

A Warriors win today would have just given false hope, I guess.

 

[Canonball]

shittier teams will be in the 8 ... nrl is fucked

Unfortunately he’s the best we’ve got, get use to it
