Post Match NRL 2019 - Round 14 - Titans vs Warriors Post Match Discussion

[wallacenz]

We won and still have an issue with the refs. It's blatant. No need to blame refs ever when it's a victory. It isn't us. It's them.
That sin bin was a disgrace. Never seen something so pathetic. I bet we don't see one for something like that ever again. If that happened in the first half does anyone really think that he would have been sent. No way. The only reason he went was because the game was on the line.
There is no other explanation.

I feel like the refs dont respect Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, the Warriors need an articulate captain who will approach the refs in breaks in play and make their case, thats what Smith or Thurston did.. talk to the ref before a scrum sets or while the other team is kicking goals.. make the case for your team getting a fair call. A fullback just isnt in the right position to make their case and stay in position

 

[gpred]

Thurston said the same thing last night. Said it's way too difficult to replicate it in training.

Bizarre, I can think of how to replicate it quite easily

 

[Hadyn]

That was terrible.13th best team beats the 15th but only just and typical us when the opposition lose players off the bench we don't have the game management to take advantage.
Tough calls in the last 5 minutes against us though and I have never been so happy to see Blair give a penalty away wnen he did.
Allowed us a breather and to reset the the defence.To be fair to Blair it looked bad in slo-mo but in real speed he had to and was committed.

Pros: 2 points banked and some fans happy.
Cons; Mooks and the Rocket Scientists another week away from getting the boot.

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Kens post contact metres were higher than the other forwards made all night!!!!

 

[mt.wellington]

WTF, Ken said they don't practice scoring tries in the corner in training? Surely I'm misunderstanding?

You dont run full tilt and dive like that at training over and over again. Risky...

 

[Horriors2013]

That was a real bottom of the table game.. there wasnt much attack, if Titans hadnt lost 2 of their better players when they were getting on top I could totally see them racking up a score on the Warriors today.

You know I do think this is one of those years where the comp is mostly even. Pretty tough week to week. But when you're slightly out of form, it sticks out.

 

[Makasene]

That win once again was inspite of Kearney.

Picks one prop on the bench (Bunty)

Only prop on the bench doesn't enter the game until the 50th minute

We are getting polaxed up the middle from 25mins onwards.

Only prop on the bench leaves game in 65th minute.

Kearney played Bunty for 15 mins.

We are a dumb team with a dumb coach

Fair enough. Would be easy to replicate digitally and avoid contact. Cover defence as lights moving across the ground which senses contact with the winger.

Considering the amount of injuries we see from it, I'd e pissed off if they practised it.

 

[Makasene]

Unbelievably shit call on Blairs hit. Wasn't on a kicker, wasn't high. If that doesn't show the bias.

Rub the grub out for 18 months!

Honestly, if your not Cam Smith they don't respect anyone.

The way they spoke to Mitchell Pearce last week was disgracful

 

[Mr Frank White]

Good to see what the win meant to the boys.

Blair was pretty big on defence, lots of tackles, and was laying hits all game.

 

[Dixpat]

What do we have to do to get a hold down penalty in the tackle????

Have we won a pen count this year - tonight 3-7

 

[FuNQie]

Jazz coughing up the ball. Sets with the lowest metres made ever. Poor last tackle actions....when we got to the last tackle....how many times was that? Weird use of the bench. Again. What's with keeping Bunty off the pitch until H2?

But we won.

Poor opposition, yes, but more than that. Somehow, we had guts and determination right through to the end. We even grabbed opportunities, and did things with 'em, quickly (as we used to do all the time.)

Big Ken, what we do without you? And Roger too. Kodi is playing pretty well. Ah Mau. Tho I'm his biggest critic, I reckon Blair had a good game, defending like his life depended on it. Even Greeny was better than he's been. There's a lot that's not right, but well done boys anyway.

The ref near the end was a dick to roger

I believe being able to talk confidently and authoritatively without getting abusive, all while being succinct is what make those guys different.. Steve Price had that ability to talk and others would listen. Pearce doesnt come across as a sharpest guy

 

[wrighty]

It would have helped the warriors more in the long run if they had’ve lost
It might have poured more spotlight on the shitness that is jazz tevagas style of play.
Or it could have forced us into other personnel changes.

I think people are harsh on the coach. Except when it comes to bench strategy. It's quite puzzling. BUT, I think it's because he knows he doesn't have the best pack. When a little bloke is your best you know you're fucked.

 

[kurgal]

Voted a "C" for that performance. Typical Warriors win - putting themselves under pressure and on a knife-edge in the final minutes.

I dunno, they just look a bit ramshackle, and at times, a bit dozy. Just not a very convincing win.

The Titans were the better, speedier team on attack. Where's our line speed?

Paasi benched at the 20 minute mark, Ah Mau after 24 minutes (incidently Titans eat our 10 point lead up between the 22 and 25 minute mark)......we're playing almost 30 minutes without any specialist props till Bunty comes on in the 50th......like this shit isnt hard enough without Kearney the bench whisperer making it harder.
