[Warrior#214]

-The Warriors’ Vegas Vanishing Act-
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the biggest magic show Las Vegas has ever seen, starring the Invisible Warriors—who managed to play an entire game against the Green Machine without actually even turning up! For a team that traveled halfway across the world, you’d think they might’ve at least packed a game plan in their luggage.
We looked like a bunch of guys who just won a radio contest to play an NRL match in Sin City. No structure, no urgency—just 80 minutes of running around like a toddler in a shopping mall. And that Bench Rotation was from the Twilight Zone. If Webby had been playing blackjack, he would have hit on 19 and bust every time. His bench rotation was a mystery wrapped in confusion, dipped in incompetence.By the time fresh legs came on, the game was already on life support, and the Raiders were picking out what colour balloons they wanted at the Wahs funeral. (Spoiler alert - it’s all shades of green)

My thoughts.
Too many old slow players just hitting it up and making easy tackles.
CNK, RTS, Pompey, Niukore; Capewell; Egan, Ford .

 

[Old Sid]

Wrong place probably, but I've just watched the AW Presser. How amateurish that there is no mike available for the press' questions?? Come on PVL, get the basics right before the grand schemes.

Probably for the best because the questions were about as probing as our attack.

And AW didn't have anything positive to say about the job ahead

 

[Wah's Up]

Stickys plan was simple, offload, put 4 into the tackle and lie on us for ever, never got penalised once yet we did. Can't remember how many in the first half but certainly killed us and we had no strategy to stop them.
The rH side seemed to be running and passing in slow motion.
Metcalf went missing and not happy with CHT, would rather TMM

 

[KPWarrior]

This event needs to be a mid season thing when teams have a bit of form, I think it's been pretty poor overall as far as attracting a new audience.

 

[Kaos A.D.]

I knew we were in for a shit day when Webster thought he would be smart and swap Clark to the bench for Ford to start, so Ford would play the whole game so our young bench players could sit on the bench.... This loss is on Webster

Yes mate. Hard for the backs to operate when you have no go forward but you are right unfortunately

Ford
Capewell
Barnett

All too similar body types and mould
They don’t bend the line or drag in defenders like AFB
They’re not fast or dynamic and they don’t have much vision or situational awareness

Ford played 51 minutes. But agree, think our original lineup was better.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Its not just a starting pack, its the game plan. Sticky figured us out beautifully; thats why the Raiders spent the 1st 20 dropping the ball underneath, moving our fowards and back row around tiring them out.

Our forwards are small and mobile and our back row is big and slow.

8 Barnett
9 Healey
10 Bunty
11 Laban
12 Halasima
13 Clark

14 Egan
15 Walker
16 Fish
17 Demetric

I don't mind the shuffle around.

We were well off today. It's not fatal yet but frankly everyone in that team knows what went wrong

Yes but we got out muscled and that is also on us. Us as in them.

 

[Kaos A.D.]

Yeah I know but just seemed like he was on way to long, plus I turned off the telly after about fifteen minutes second half

Yea, that was a diabolical call and I have no idea why he did that. Ford has shown last year that his 2023 season was a one off.

For me Clark looked about the best warrior pre season trials, starting at 13 and Webster just throws that away for a plodder who can last long minutes... I turned off the game about 15 mins second half didn't even get to see the young guys because it was already over...

 

[afakasi247]

We play the storm d-team and think we’re ready. Ricky’s team turned up

I wasn’t fooled by that performance. Been fooled too many times

 

[Nakiproud]

Where do we find the match stat's?? How long people played, when the bench came on etc??

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

Yea, that was a diabolical call and I have no idea why he did that. Ford has shown last year that his 2023 season was a one off.

So have the majority of the team, not only Ford
