Post Match Knights v Warriors - [Round 9, 2024]

[El Chuckie]

Sky crew, you're really trying to make this about the officiating? WOW, you're as bad the team are!

A few too many Warriors employees on the Sky team methinks. Objective voices needed.

 

[Makasene]

It was reported in the media that way.

That was reported as one of many reasons why we might let him go a year early.

Fact is we dealt him away a year early and it has failed.

That happens though so we just need to live with it haha.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

That is the game plan. Shaun would get lambasted if he wasn't playing to the plan.
Cohesion isn't great and that can be attributed to Shaun sure, but playing to the plan is not his fault.

Well if the game plan was executed better i wouldn't include him in the blame game mate. They all deserve a serve. SJ can get it too.

 

[~Navigator~]

Lmao, the salt is amazing. I'm just calling it based on the past two weeks and the first half.
If you think the ref is to blame and that call cost us the game, you have a screw loose.

I'm just calling it game to game and you might want to tighten that bolt in your neck......lmao

 

[Canonball]

I'm still a believer but only just, a lot is going to ride on who comes in to fix the problem areas next week - RTS needs to be there but where ? would you play him at 5/8 as a hail mary, or get him out to the wing or (can you say it) to fullback ? - this is the 'timing is everything axis', other questions ensue...; and then there's the second row, we need a reliable runner in there, and Ford's not it - this is the 'take the advantage while you have it' axis... Zyon Maiu’u, Laban, or even Halasima. And a second option, the 'you weren't expecting that' axis, can we please have a look at Taine for 6, as the Lord's prayer?

 

[Makasene]

And you put that all down to Curran? I disagree entirely but we'll never know so have to agree to disagree.

Well you tell me? Do you see any energising / ball playing attacking players out wide?

I don't put anything down to a single player. But your style of play is dictated by the players you select.

After 9 matches we are unable to breakdown opposing defence in the 20. It's the style of play.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Absolutely no surprise that Fords near try was started by Ale. Even CNKs try saver... We have to get more youth and enthusiasm into the team.

 

[Jeetz]

Who would be in charge of attack? Stacey or Webby? Like who has the final say?

 

[tyrael]

Best thing I did was not watch the second half.

 

[Zarjaz]

Webby's answer is more kicks to the corner Not the answer I was looking for?

Starting to get the 'Kick it to Manu' PTSD flashbacks

 

[MXRecord]

It blows my mind how many people still blame the ref ...

 

[Next Year]

Come on bro. Shauns stale same set plays inside the opposition 5 is his fault. Execution is off. He isn't blameless.

I waited all second half for an SJ grubber into the in-goal - seemed to the perfect conditions to at least give it a crack when all else failed over again - but it never came. Decision making or confidence lacking all day.

default coping mechanism. Sometimes it starts before the game even starts.

 

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

Almost season over....

We are terrible, everyone has worked out our signature move.

Webster needs to make changes now.

 

[Beastmode]

It blows my mind how many people still blame the ref ...

When we lose
Everyone gets a serve
If that bunker had any balls or dignity he would have given it a penalty try
Would have made a huge difference to their confidence at HT

 

[Warrior#214]

This guy…

Exactly bro. He could of at least got us a few 6 agains when we had nothing on the last. Instead, High kick and hope. Smh...

Really you could not see any calls by the ref that went against us,
Can I please borrow your glasses for the next game, It may make it more enjoyable

 

[Matiunz]

I finding it tough this last month eh, just seems like someone keeps punching my heart out. We’ve all been here before but I’d hoped last years form had stuck round a little bit longer. I really struggle to see how we’ve dropped so far so quickly, last months team is unrecognisable compared to last year

 

[Boats n Hoes]

We needed to shelve the block plays 2nite. Block plays in those conditions are always fucking hard cause you cant get the crispness or timing, of passing or catching..... just end up going sideways which is easy D.

Problem is, apart from block plays and short interchange passes from our forwards with Addin on the crash, dont think ive seen anything else in the Webster play book (dont get me wrong and as unpopular as it may be atm, i still think the general tactics of field position is the right one as we're not a team with a lot of strike.....and if your not a team with strike then structure is your go to). Compounded also by the fact for whatever reason we dont run shape out our left edge,,,,,,starting to agree with other posters in that whats the point of TMM? May as well put a mobile backrower there who can tackle and run a hole. Not all his fault but was watching TMM and their were times he couldve stamped his mark......SJ went for a show n go on the 3rd right of the uprights which opened up the left.......that was his time to demand the ball, organize his runners, but he stood back.....Egan even looked for him but he was nowhere......ended up having to do a 360 pass to Chanze on the right who had nothing on.

That said you can have all the variation in the world but if u keep serving up what we did the first 15 minutes with all the errors and piggyback penalties, then we're no chance. And the real concerning thing is apart from recognizing this every week our coaches cant seem to recitfy it......it keeps happening,

Terrible game really, and enduring Blockers dribble didnt help any.
