Gameday NZ Warriors v St George Illawarra Dragons - [Round 12, 2026]

[The Warrior Waka]

Deme does some dumb shit.

 

[Inruin]

Demi and Leka need to pull their heads in

 

[Ever Hopeful]

The pull caused the player to play at the ball...that is the most cooked call I have ever heard and that is saying something!! I have no issue with the call going against Demi for the pull- just the wording lol!

 

[Buzz Killington]

What a bullshit call! He slapped the ball. I bet that will never be called like that again.

 

[MaybeTop8]

What a crock of shit

 

[LeagueJunkie]

What kind of shit justification is that.

 

[DB Bitter]

How does grabbing the defender "make him slap the ball"? He can choose not to slap the ball

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Holding someone caused him to smack at the ball??

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Loool the video ref is just making stuff up at this point. Absolutely farce

 

[Tragic]

So if the attacker holds you in the tackle you are allowed to hit the ball out?
Wow did not know that rule.

He must realize after he said it how stupid that choice of words was

Not when Demi gripped his slapping nerve, that caused an involuntary slapping motion. Fair penalty.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Deme didn't touch that!??

 

[Buzz Killington]

We need to question these bunker calls. The Leka one with the flicking arm and fingers was shit. The CHT knock on was shit! And that was shit!

 

[DB Bitter]

Gee feeling sorry for the Dragons again with that call.

Don't know why he bothers because they give it back within two tackles!

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Deme didn't touch that!??

No challenge, should be fun from here

Have a look at kicking %s between our halves for whichever players get selected. When Metcalf or Boyd plays, they take majority of the kicks. When neither then CHT. Whenever TMM plays, he always gets the far lesser opportunities at kicks. Its not a tactic. Its because he is woeful as a kicker, and there have been many examples of his 'kicking ability' throughout the years to indicate that it will never change. Remember this is a player who used to practice kicking when Nathan Cleary was coming up at Panthers. Unfortunately it is what it is. His best position is as a utility as cover. Refer to TMM's interview from last game, it was not by accident that he let CHT do most of the kicking last game. Unfortunately you cannot have a NRL level half who cannot kick as it just puts too much pressure on the actual kicker. Ideally we have both halves as options if we have any aspirations past regular season this year.

Fair.

I am always banging on about kicking so....touche.

Must be the same nerve that causes my wife to slap me often.

 

[WAH MAN]

Dallin short. Bunker hates us. But no try. Way Deegan off. Healey on

 

[Jaffa J]

I thought he was short but didn’t think he lost possession
