Post Match Dragons v Warriors - [Round 10, 2025]

[marv.]

i’ll tell you what,
i pity every single other man that was created on the same day as erin clarke,
he is a LOT more equal than you.

what a fucking signing!

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Bet we're all glad we took those 2 points now eh peeps?

Ugly 2nd half but we find a way to win is all that counts.......just happily take the 2 points and move on.......Up the Wahs!

 

[LeagueJunkie]

When are we going to blow a team away? Heart can't take many more of these close wins

 

[Dlenai]

What a fighting performance

Literally nothing our way second half, players dropping like flies

Pure grit.

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

Guys!

We are second on the ladder and we have a PD of 1.

Fuck we are awesome.

 

[the WARs]

CAPEWAH my MOM so HUGE tackles

 

[Matiunz]

Fuck what a lucky escape!
Papering over some cracks but all wins count

 

[Barzak]

CNK is an Ironman and carries us in games like this. Anyone who thinks he should move from FB should watch these games and see how important he is.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Love listening to Barney pumping the 'young men's up. Super classy guy Mitch

 

[The Warrior Waka]

The ref blew the last tackle handover super damn fast before the tackle was completed on Capewah lol. Fuck.
Work in progress this team, And we continue to win!? Imagine when we finally click?
Capewah, Barney & Clark were enormous! Metcalf with the clutch droppy. Good win boys!

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

First team this round not to blow a first half lead!

 

[KPWarrior]

The mental toughness we're showing is just something else

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

Lord, DWZ was terrible.

Guaranteed we lost that cowboys game if he played.

Hopefully it’s just rust.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Mitch 190m
Leka 122m
Clark 158m

 

[Inruin]

2 points is 2 points.

I was worried about the recent travel we have done and maintaining the intensity. Second half I thought we saw that taking it's toll.

Had a fair number of calls go our way I thought too. Must have used all our bad luck last year and karma balancing things up this year with our luck.

Clark, CNK and Barney my top 3 players.

Off to Suncorp next game. Hopefully AW gives them time this week to get petrol back in the tank.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

 

[CWC]

Demetric was pretty huge towards the end

VERY scrappy. But given all our outs and DWZ being VERY rusty, we should be grateful for that win. Still cannot believe this depleted side is outright 2nd on the live ladder now. When other depleted sides are falling apart, that is an amazing achievement. It's also impressive that we've proven immune to the 2nd half comeback effect.

 

[Makasene]

We are playing on empty and look to have lost some more troops this week.

Can't argue with the heart.

I do worry about the Dolphins next week, think they could be specials.

For now though, going to bathe in the glow of another 2 points.

 

[Billyspleen75]

Erin Clark man. 52 tackles and 152m. Those are ELITE numbers in the NRL.
Kudos to that fella for where he's come from and what he's doing for this team. Signing of the year

 

[~Navigator~]

Great win and maturity shown by going early for the field goal instead of waiting till the last few minutes that puts more pressure on your self

 

[watcher]

Winning at the 'gong' is hard. Dragons usually grow another leg there. Great win.

 

[Warriorshopeful]

7-2 After 10 rounds, who would have picked that after the Vegas game, and doing it with players out and different combinations. Awesome stuff!!@!@

Would be nice to put a team away.

Hopefully JFH and RTS back next week, Dolphins at home will be another hard game! They're a better attacking side than the Drags but also have a pretty soft underbelly letting in a few points.

UP THE WAHS, always a better week after a win!

 

[CWC]

At least Metcalf unlocked his field goal potential

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Erin Clarke season averages:

2022 57m per game
2023 83m per game
2024 100m per game
2025 159m per game.

What a substantial jump this year! Effectively producing 1.5 times what we bought him based on!

 

[RiceOwl]

Hearing the boys sing the Warriors chant in the sheds while Flanagan and Cook are in the press conference You could overhear it coming through the walls! Love it!

 

[BRING DA RUCKUS]

2 points is 2 points. I remember watching penrith maybe 2 years back and it didn't matter if they won by 1 point or 30 people used to hype them up either way.

I used to think damn that must be a winning teams mentality.

Happy with were the team is at, definitely building something different..

 

[The Undertaker]

Not many teams are stopping.the opposition in the 2nd half once they have a roll on and their tails are up. This is a momentum game. The last two weeks in particular we’ve won the last 20 minutes after being beaten up after halftime.

Raiders today couldn’t do that. Several other teams couldn’t this weekend. We have and are.

That’s the most promising thing. We still have levels to go to. But we have so much grit we just won’t be beaten.

That’s how premierships are won.

 

[Gods_17]

Happy Mothers Day to All you Mums out there! We Know your day will have good vibes after that close win (I was... gonna post "We Know your day will have good vibes after that close shave" but, ehm ). Just Friendly banter, Man down, Medic!





Just quietly, this could Actually be Our Year. Keep it in-house, ok, shhhh.

This game. Hough! Wasn't pumped up like the usual, me... drags are mid bottom 8 and have everything to play for so I wasn't too sure how this one would pan out, tbh. Got the result though, 2pts by 1pt is relieving... yep that's Gold!

Capewell was, again, Monster! And Truly the slowest most bad'est beard'est mf'in center in the game, Love 'is effort/passion/work! Egan made some try saving tackles, I can't remember the last time he got injured (even though I could google it) ribs are NO joke and I hope he'll be ok for next week. Barnett lead the way like Captain America. He's a place in that NSW team for sure. Can't praise 'em enough for deciding to come over here, from a decent club, to better Our Club. Laban, Leka and Demi are in a great position/team and gaining the momentum from 'em. DWZ's first game back was ok for mine. Tough game back but as MFW posted "Dal wins it with a knock on." was so true and crack-up, hard! Dust the rust off, Dallin, and go at it like you can do. Pompey's our #4! Earlier I hoped for a #3 Ali and #4 Berry. Berry battles injury, Leiataua's learning left-side, Adam's mastered both!


A Special thanks to Temepara Bailey (Happy Mothers Day) for her roll in the concealed plan for our very First GF. Her son, well, he's Off The Fu(kin Hook!!! Looks like he can Sledge with the best and proofs in the pudding he's the Best buy in the game. Onya Girl!

Up The WAHS! and again, Happy Mothers Day Mums!

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Capewell really proving his doubters wrong this year. Sure 2024 was a rough year for him, but it was for everyone in the team. These last few weeks are demonstrating why Webby pushed so hard to get him to us. Not just his work on the ball but his experience off it. LM mentioned in his fox interview that Capewell was the one who went up to him and suggested going for the field goal. His experience playing in big stages like grand finals and SOO is starting to become known in these clutch situations. If ever both Barney and JFH were to be out for us, which is entirely possible during origin, he's my next pick for captain.

 

[RiceOwl]

Geez we enjoy doing things the hard away. Can’t we just pump a team for once or put it way out of reach early? Beggars can’t be choosers I suppose, and in reality, when I look at the games where there has been big comebacks in the second half, it shows we can really dig deep and hang in there.

A big part of me is concerned about the +1pd, but when I analyse it a bit deeper, we have had some big outs over the last few weeks, so to keep winning at all without them has been remarkable. I would hope that once we get more of our first choice starter’s returning, we may click more into gear.

It was heartening to hear Webby and Mitch both allude to being happy with the win but not the performance. Also stating (not in a cliched way either), that we have a lot of improvement in us. They are being honest and tempered in their approach.

All I wanted out of this season was a solid season where we may scrape into the 8 and for our young guns to get plenty of game time. At the moment it’s exceeding that which is exciting. The future is most definitely bright.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Iis it me, or when opposition start moving it wide the last couple of weeks we look really thin. Last night on many occasions the gap between LM and Niukore was alarming.

Of course. We have a 2 second rowers at prop, a rookie in the second row, a second rower at centre, and our back up fb on the wing.

The fact we are competitive at all let alone winning is amazing.

 

[Get them onside ref!]

Injury aside Bunty had a good match and it was the right decision to start him.

Good old Bunty always give his all
Good clubman
