Post Match Rabbitohs v Warriors - [Round 5, 2024]

[snake77]

Good to have CNK back. The commentators and the journalists will go on about RTS at fullback. But CNK he suits our side.

Like Webster said last week during the post match press conference that it would be good having him back as he thickens our defensive line.

He does a lot of clean up work. Sure he's not the fastest or flashest player but I love having him at the back. He's safe, does a lot of support work.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Thanks boys.

 

[Citygirl]

I’ve got this stupid grin on my face and I can’t get rid of it….my cheeks are aching

Long may it last

 

[KPWarrior]

That defensive determination in the last minute or so was a sight to behold.

That wins premierships!

 

[snake77]

Man 3-2 for the first 5 rounds after a pretty tough run of teams is impressive.

Even the two losses were close.

Now we turn around and do it at home against Manly.

Except for the last tackle missed where the bunnies scored I agree

 

[shuffle]

Just on Laban. Absolutely deserve a first grade debut. During the trials he just looked fitter and his defense was on!!

Other prospects Sifakula, Mau'u, Halasima, Leataua also Ieremia-Toeava the future is so good for the Warriors.

Hopefully we can keep the likes of Luke Hanson and Taylan Egan.

Thanks boys.

You've had a good couple of weeks

At fullback you will get the occasional one like that. Or get a draw and pass to the support runner.

A huge difference between the two fullbacks today. One gets a lot of hype but does little work. The other does a lot of work and gets little hype.

 

[Warriorshopeful]

Except for the last tackle missed where the bunnies scored I agree

He only missed that tackle cause he lost his footing 9 times out of 10 Charnze has been making those tackles.

 

[Pop Dukez]

One game at a time but this puts us in good steed over the next 5 games before we meet Penrith. Beat Manly and we’ll beat the rest.

 

[snake77]

Now we can sit back and watch next weeks opponents.

A tough run for them. The Panthers and then the Warriors. So good to be able to say that after some pretty frustrating years.

Refining my analysis on league betting. Only my 2nd year.

I’ll admit I was less confident when our players started dropping like flies in the lead up. First 20something minutes was poor but we grew into the game and dominated, South’s started strong and fizzled out. Great to see us keep calm and grind out the win

 

[sydneywarrior92]

I believe that we have just given Souths an excuse to sack their useless excuse of a coach. Why he would drop Moale, who made 200+ metres in reserve grade, in favour of a 2nd hooker against our size is beyond me. Dumber than SK in terms of team selections and footy IQ.

In terms of our performance, I err on the side of caution in terms of how much we read into this win. Roosters pumped Souths by more than we did and everyone thought they were premiership contenders only to be fully exposed by Penrith the week after. A lot of this is just how bad Souths are as a team. Their roster is highly overrated: their team may have been a top 4 side in the past but the rest of the comp has caught up with them. The NRL media need to recognise that and readjust their expectations re Souths. They will be lucky to make finals this year. Easily our worst opponents of the year.

We will know more about where we stand next week when we play another top 4 contender in Manly. Pump them and I think the rest of the comp will rightly conclude that we are one of the genuine contenders for this title alongside Penrith and Brisbane.

grind going in, grind coming out, fictionless attack between !

Fox Sports were very clear in their praise of him. Ran his stats to show how good his comeback was.

Interviewed him after the game

 

[Mr Drag]

3 in a row and all off good Defense!

 

[Ever Hopeful]

I love watching this team play in Australia. They seem to relish those conditions. Mt Smart has great crowds, but conditions turn the game into more of an arm wrestle.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

We are legitimately a top 4 team! None of those teams that went to Vegas are doing anything!
