Gameday Dragons vs Warriors - [Round 7, 2024]

[Matiunz]

Webby seems to be storming round the sheds giving the silent treatment like a disappointed Dad

 

[afakasi247]

We can come back... It's a massive fucking hill to climb.

Only in the sense that we got to sort our own shit out. Dragons aren’t that special. We’ve gifted them field possession. Their defence is admiral but it’ll crack if we make use of our opportunities.

I’m saying that, our defence is shit house atm.

 

[bringinthebulls]

Those high kicks on tackle 5 are fkn useless and obviously a game plan designed by the coach.

it is a tactic and not entirely useless. With kick chasers and the tackle on the spot, we're effectively giving the opposition only a 4 tackle set starting on their try line. Whats not working with it, is giving away penalties. That's when it becomes useless

 

[BrisbaneWarrior]

Another game where we can’t play for the full 80, or even 60. We’ve been ambushed

 

[Leon Black]

Our right side attack needs to widen itself somehow.

Teams are defending our right side identically every week, with their wing jamming in harder than Montoya of DWZ ever have onto our centre.

We need a rainbow pass or something because this season, that side has been figured out

Smart teams would roll a grubber or chip to the corner, surely that Asian guy in the box next to Webby can see that. What’s he there for?

 

[Bluecat]

Why do we have a left hand side attack?
If it's not working constantly going right would it be a bad thing to see what someone else can do?
I hope Webbys kicking chairs right now. Too much dumb to win at the moment

 

[Matiunz]

To add to my point about last weeks match

I rewated a couple of days ago. The intensity was pretty massive late in the game and into GP, more noticeable on replay than when watching in the moment.

We would be silly to think it has not had some sort of effect.

Saw a couple of comments across forums saying both teams last week would find it tough backing up

 

[The Shah of Iran]

Seriously the amount of times in the last 18 months we have not iced opportunities in the first 20 and then bailed them out of their own end with repeated penalties is staggering. We're going to need a big arse second 40 and I'm not sure we have the bench to bail us out this time around.

Yeah the penalties have been poor, Capewell had me calling him a few choice words after that boneheaded one on our line

 

[PNG Kiwi]

Well the boys are going to need to grind this out

 

[itsouryearwhenever]

Warriors are just straight up dumb rn

 

[Zarjaz]

Ole AFB looked pretty unhappy there.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Another game where we can’t play for the full 80, or even 60. We’ve been ambushed

Ambushed by our inability to switch on and then light the afterburners?

 

[Leon Black]

- Cold drops
- Missed tackles
- Multiple penalties to let them out of their end
- No support runners early when on top
- Second phase lacking any purpose, just dumped out the back

About as piss poor as you can get with nothing on the bench likely to turn the tide.

Can only think the short turn around and GP has had an effect

We had an extra day scratch that excuse

 

[PullingTeets]

Well the boys are going to need to grind this out

We tried that in the first half and they killed up

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Tohu looks fucked already. Egan has nothing tonight. Montoya is to hot & cold. To many mistakes by him. Capewell looks slow.
Charnze, SJ , Addin & Barney are trying hard. The rest of the team are letting them down.

Finally someone gets it, more often than not we are kicking it to their strongest winger too, takes a carry away from them also

 

[Warriorshopeful]

I think we've got a bit too much experience in our side, need some youth and speed/x-factor.

 

[John Nick]

Don't like to pick on one particular player but TMM hasn't touched it in general play except once and got rag dolled and missed his tackles.
Not up to NRL yet

 

[Warriors4lyfe]

We are only 10 points down.
If we sort out shit out we can easily win this.
Come out fired up after half time and get 2 tries and we could be winning.
Easy peezy

 

[BrisbaneWarrior]

Dragons for us on all major stats
