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

[BrisbaneWarrior]

SJ’s fine but we need another kicking half, the defensive teams know to target SJ. He should’ve gone for a grubber instead of the high kick to the corner but it’s not on him. The team is ageing needs young blood, and maybe no fucking injuries

 

[Makasene]

Seeing a lot of doom and gloom and some posts calling for all sorts of things but here is the thing, the warriors are eighth on the table in points differential and have lost three games in a row, thats all. The seasons not over, unless we say it is.

Love your positivity but the table I am looking at has us in the bottom 4 based on what matters.

We are 14th on the win column too...

Do you think the players around him are doing enough to create options?

I feel like last season they were all working hard and that was helping SJ create more, now we are busted it's not working as well.

SJs options in 2024 do not attract enough attention individually.

Defense can freely shift to cover the ball out the back with minimal players needed to shut down the short ball

Is he not running enough?

 

[Makasene]

Is he not running enough?

He's taken the line on a lot it feels.

But the same principle applies, there is no urgent need for the defense to shift off SJ knowing that his two options are well covered.

 

[Wellington Taniwha]

it’s depressing to think the season could be over in May. Normally we’d get through to June / July. We’re looking like a side without an identity.

SJ is doing too much. His inside balls to Ford are way too early and predictable. Fords a plodder and needs to meet the line.

It’s been well travelled but Webster is making the decisions of a father who isn’t getting enough Kip. Bench is bafflingly bad and wouldn’t pass muster in the Auckland cup. He may be a great man manager but the ability to pivot is the mark of a great coach. He’s shown the faith in the last four weeks with the team, but I think some change up is needed.

My pick to fix this team would be to bring in Pompey, RTS back to fullback. CNK to 6, assuming he has more of a kicking game than TMM. Someone needs to take the ball off SJ. We’re looking like the warriors before he left for Cronulla

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

So tohu thinks we need to be tighter as a group? Do we have some bad eggs in the team?

 

[Roadrunner]

Yea well so much for Webby giving all of them a rest.Most of them after that performance I would have given them home detention for 6 months.God I will need horse tranquilizers to get thru nxt 2 games.Boy the rungs are falling off their ladder climb fast.

 

[Kiwi In Tasmania]

So I didn't watch this game thank fuck. I recorded it and thought I would watch when I get home without knowing the scores. FIRST TIME since 2022 I had that sick feeling and thought nah check NRL.com first to save 2 hours of shit. Can't believe I am at that point!

Also WTF was pompey on the bench? Hope I read that wrong..

We clearly need big changes now to stop the rot.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

I would like to see CNK play around the front rowers a bit more looking for offloads. Also on SJs inside shoulder like Papenhuyzen does at storm.

We need other ways to try open teams up. Where is our offloading ability?

Think back to how Melbourne opened us up when needed to beat us late.

We are nowhere near able to do that

Just the typical press conference talk after a loss.

 

[Beastmode]

What I found strange is there seem to be a wall of defenders everywhere they attacked

No holes to expolit

How is that? Are we too slow? Just unable to break that first tackle ..

Who is taking dominant runs to get over the advantage line? AFB yes, Mitch sometimes... The backs only in their half...

Back to my point of the 11/12/13

I would give Zyon Maiu’u a crack at 13.
Tohu is too slow unfortunately.
Maybe a bench spot when Zyon Maiu’u needs a break

 

[kos]

I can't agree with that.

It could not be foreseen that Capewell would have got this many injuries, all of them unrelated. That's just bad luck.

Broncos didn’t try to keep Capewell

 

[Damo]

Not sure what that has to do with what I said.
They were ready for Piakura to step up, it was touted Capewell would move to a middle role off the bench for them.

 

[kos]

In the nsw cup game Taine played 6 in attack kicked the ball organised etc.
I m a Tmm fan but the man is doing nothing.
This game I watched Tohu gee he is slow getting back etc just as Frank White has been saying.
We as others have said need some youth and enthusiasm
And a new game plan attack particuarly.
Fox interviewed Taine after the game he isn’t injured.
Need some personnel changes three or so and a different attack ball.
Can they go to jungle ball in the last ten if we are behind?
Get Sione Faumuina and Clinton Toopi in to explain.
