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

[KO WAI RA]

Again just on Laban,
Did ya notice his instinctive pawn out to the open side to help increase his play the ball..
Think it was his 1st tackled carry….
He’s got the goods…
9much young man…..

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.

That has been my thoughts as well.

As long as we pick up the two points at home.

But we do look better in Australia on the dry tracks. Especially for our ball movement.

A few things with that. It is great for a side that has traditionally been poor on the road, we accumulate more points. We are likely going to need to win in Australia to qualify for a Grand Final. Then to also win a Grand Final.

If not for that Coates magic, we'd be at the top of the comp right now.

That was impressive seeing it set for set. They score to get ahead.

Then we just ground them out of the game. Suffocated them into making mistakes, kicked to the corners to work their way up field.

Curious to know the thought process of those who rated the game a B?

Is it because the bunnies scored the first try? Never mind we scored 34 straight after?

 

[Wah's Up]

Oh ye of little faith, I backed our team as 13 plus.
Have I told you how much I love HARISS?
Egan is my MOM
Roger is awesome, CKC fitted in like he never left.
Have I told you how much I love my team?

Great win.

Special thanks to @1995warriorsfan for getting us into the churchill lounge hosted by the burgess bros. Great time thank you.

Good to catch up also with fellow forummers @ndp26 and @Fonzie. Might need to organise a few more catchups at games this season with fellow forummers in Sydney.

Bro, I’m trying to forget

Due to the early time for the game we got Domino's delivered.

They still came with Easter packaging. My kids start cutting something out next minute they are running around with Warriors jersey's on and a rabbit face.

If they didn't have their jersey's on I probably would have tackled the little imposters.

Any other week would have been fine.

To channel Bruce….only four players didn’t run over 100m today…. and two of them still ran over 90m. AFB made 75m post contact.

Went to the game. We literally suffocated south’s. We made them look school boys.

And Eric Watson saved the club.

Heyzuess.

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.

Because we average 16.4 points conceded per game, 12.4 if you take out the final 3 mins v Storm! I'm quite comfortable saying we are easily top 4.

However, are we Top 2? That really seems to be the big question and I would say 'No' at the moment.

No injuries

Bunty’s hamstrings?

My kids pissed themselves laughing at Reggie the Rabbit staring down SJ as he took that conversion from wide out.
