Post Match NZ Warriors v Parramatta Eels - [Round 9, 2026]

[PNG Kiwi]

Yes felt comfortable most of the game we were in control.
What has changed expecting the wins rather than hoping for wins.

the way sutton refereed the game was dreadful - and i mean both ways - it really screwed with the spectacle

Our game was ambitious up until we decided we shouldn't be about 10 out from the half - the next 30 was playing down to them - Moses was awful, he's not been great all year from what i've seen but yeah, not the threat he used to be an has far too many mistakes in his game now - Boyd outplayed him, in fact so did Volkman and Chanel - fourth ranked half on the field

I was thinking it would be similar to last week. A reasonably close game compared to a lot you see this year. Most of the discussions would be Eels were up for it. We won a close one when we weren't at our best. Need to win those etc.

Instead. The Eels were up for it. Yes, we weren't at our best but we soaked up the pressure. Found ways to score late to seal the game. Then kept going to extend the lead.

A nice place to be. Got injuries but the guys coming in are covering well and staking their case for the spot. Not playing at our best but either getting the win or having a bit of a buffer as well.

There is areas of improvement. Also a few guys looking in need of the week off.

 

[Tragic]

Laban was good. I would start him over Leka. His chase is berry esque, good line runners, good defender.

Leka has impact and his effort is there but needs work on tackle technique and finding work when things don't come to him. Needs to be on the paddock either side of halftime though.

No room for niukore unless someone gets injured.

Was that the Warriors fans singing "Na Na Na Hey Goodbye" in the first half? That's a bit much.

And the piped in fake cheering for Parra was a but much too.

Commentator Tuaupiki hasn't had a moment yet.

He did the flick pass for the DWZ try.

I know he was probably thinking scoring a try. Still, a weird comment as it was a highlight play.

 

[KPWarrior]

Erin Clark's pretty much been my favourite player since the day he got here! Bro is an absolute beast.

 

[snake77]

Also nice seeing us score on both sides of the field. A headache for the defence.

Then the nice sneaky passing from Clark in the middle. He's been great. Still gives us the grunt like last year and now has some underated ball playing.

 

[Tragic]

We need RTS next year. His yardage carries and elusive runs get us so much momentum. Pompey and Ali can't\won't give us that.

He definitely stole the dally m points from Ford tonite.

 

[BlackToko88]

funny old game. Felt like we could have ran away a bit more in that first half but eels came back.

Ford was massive, as was Clark. Rog chalking up another 100m game

Good time for the bye. Ford broncos mitch will be back, egan should be cleared. TSS most likely cleared too

Good selection headsches

 

[Davo]

Really enjoy watching this side, not just competing but building week on week. Serious athlete's, technically excellent and exciting. Teamwork, spirit and generally discipline is good. No dickheads!
Nothing not to like . I'm just going to savour these moments!

 

[WAH MAN]

It's bloody marvellous that we aren't one trick ponies. We have scored all over the field. So good

Still crazy how we almost went all the way in 2023 only being able to attack on the right hand side

 

[snake77]

That stat mentioned near the end of the game on how many weeks the last two seasons we have been in the top four.

Quite a staggering stat considering the clubs history.

Also quite funny considering the club is talked up a bit on podcasts. But, still overall the discussion and hype is all on other teams.

Still going under the radar while winning.

 

[Inruin]

How good was it seeing Ford go in under the posts untouched.

The silence from Ennis was telling. He couldn't stand it!

 

[rugged]

What a start to the season for DWZ - he was under so much pressure last year and I don't think many of us would have thought he would be this good.

TT had a couple of key tackles on defence.

I love everything about DV. Not often you feel sorry for someone scoring a try but man Penisini got destroyed. The hunger to get across was so good even if they still scored

webby said in the presser he's not dropping either half, metcalf has done nothing wrong but will have to wait for his opportunity
