Post Match Raiders v Warriors - [Round 1, 2025]

[Davo]

After all the hype and anticipation, with a new roster, low on star quality, being asked to have faith in some players playing in key positions that don`t impress, we end up being unravelled on the biggest stage.
This loss has hit me harder than most because I just can`t see where to from here.

The old saying goes something like
"The more things change the more they stay the same ".

The Bloke in A Bar review of the game is exactly it.

Everyone is confused just like us fans, and at the same time, their message around player choices and positioning is just as accurate.

So, why is this coaching department making such random decisions around certain players when the entire Rugby League world knows the obvious.

Continue on this trajectory to nowhere or improve. If he names a bench and thinks they aren't up to it then it's Webby that needs to learn that the 17, 18 and 19 are all important. Bench players are not your not good enough to be starters they are the ones who improve on what the starters have done. Anyway, improvement is in them but the unknown is if they will apply it

What troubled me most was it was all self inflicted.

Poor last minute changes

Poor bench use

Also Bloke in the bar breaking down the Raiders and their strengths - makes you pretty jealous of Weekes, Savage, Tamale as a back 3

They would have been rubbish behind as powerless a pack as ours. But they were allowed to run riot.

Contrary to my own point is that from we were struggling to put Savage Tamale and Weekes down let alone Kris let alone their larger performing pack.

Not doubting you but where is this reported? Want to read as some of our players played like they were out all night. In saying that I have known some guys who been out all night before a game and played 80 minutes and just smashed it.

I wonder if Webby was out for some of the night, given his cheesy grin behind a a player being interviewed. His antics looked like he had had one or two too many and probably had contributed to the team's miserable effort. I cannot imagine any other NRL coach acting like a clown in this way.

Warriors have released the name of the guy Agar supposedly grabbed by the throat despite him not wanting to be named. Warriors are saying they want to be transparent and seem confident that cctv footage has a different story to tell

he is a Pom, the current WOKE capital of the world, Agar prob gave him an eye roll and said to him, nice hair princess and he feels hugely agreived and entitled to apublic apology and 1 million compensation.

I just saw CHT in public (99% sure anyway, I did a double take as I wasn’t expecting them back yet), and he looked like he’s just come back from war - thousand yard stare - must have been a somber flight home.

They landed today in the morning.
