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

[dylpickle]

Until Webby starts picking for the team not based on loyalty and promises we will never win the comp.

 

[Mr Drag]

It's going to be a long plane trip home . Disappointing for fans who paid big $$ to go over to watch.

Makes me lucky that i'm poor!

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Bro it’s only rd 1

Bro it’s actually 27 rounds of the same shit.

Should have had our Pre Season games on the wrong side of PNG. learn to run fast boys or ya dinner

 

[Dannevegas]

Thou Metcalf had a bit of a shocker I thought our halves were the least of our problems today. Webbys decisions are a massive problem thou

 

[Brightman]

Well,






the only way is up..

Willie Mason on his podcast said he liked the Raiders outsides and they would have us for their early set carries. That has been one of our strengths.

However, one thing Matty Johns pointed out on commentary all of their guys step and find space in between the defense.

We seem to find the collision.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Embrassing for our fans over there.

I could say more, but I just need to calm down.

In all seriousness, I hope the fans had a blast in the surrounding week. I hope it was a trip of a lifetime despite the result. We could hear your support out there and it sounded awesome.

Bro it’s actually 27 rounds of the same shit.

Keep the faith @MrFrankWhite !

I really want to shit on the team but it’s not gonna help with my BP problems

 

[John Nick]

RTS has to be the Fb.
I repeat LM is not a 7. Has to be the 6.
We need outside backs with speed.
We have to use Leka and Vaimauga more
Maybe Boyd to 7.
And the middles need huge improvement

 

[Uster101]

At least we have a chance to get the 2 points against the byes

 

[Warrior#138]

F minus

F as in f**cking dreadful.

Just can’t understand that total lack of connection or sense that they have practiced any attacking plays, at all this pre season. Boggles the mind.

Wahs jumper off. Back in the drawer. Not gonna burn it just yet but man they need to make some improvements to see me getting it back out again. Unreal.

 

[Stuart]

Good to see Sky NZ panel are consistent praising the opposition team that no one in NZ cares about, and not calling out any individual Warrior players

 

[mrblonde]

Gee, I bet the IRL are absolutely buzzed about the 2 games so far being really good for the growth of The Greatest Game Of All.

And my Warriors polo has a 0-3 or maybe even 0-4 record. Might release him early from his contract.

 

[Mr Drag]

Bro it’s actually 27 rounds of the same shit.

Pace yourself, It's a long season

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Fish - Dud

Nuikore - Labans better
Capewell - Demetircs better
Barney- Don't ever chip kick again. Back to prop.
Metcalf - Invisible
CHT - Wish u were Invisible
Tuaupiki - Tried hard. To small.
Leaitaua - No much opportunities. Caught out on dee often.
Pompey - Extended, Why?
RTS - Our best player
Klokstad - Boo

Walker - Didn't have much of a platform to work with.
Halasima - Another clubs future if we keep fucking around and leaving him on the fucking bench
Vaimauga - See Halasima
Clark - Poweful , Should of started.

Webby - Getting close to a sack webby thread buddy. Stop playing favourites and play the inform players.

 

[Shogun]

Warriors still in with a mathematical chance of making the finals

 

[Tookey 2.0]

I know people are going to be fuming, but to be honest that was largely the worst case scenario.

Nothing planned our for us today.
Funnily enough, if you look at the stats at the moment and of the game, things were largely 50/50 across the board. We were no better or worse in run meters, completed sets, kicks etc but there were a few key areas we fucked up imo
-Charnz had a shocker.
-LM's kicking was poor and gave us no chance to compete.
-Bench use was poor. We were clearly tired at one point but no changes. Leka and Vaumunga looked good, they would have looked great 30 minutes in...
-zero go forward. Anyone doubting us requiring someone like Hazleton or a big guy can fuck off. Fish, Ford and Barnett had very little impact early on, that's just too small a front row.

For me, we were pretty much dog shit, with taken very very poor performances. The good news is we have so much upside and things to improve.

We essentially had 3 tries (Starling break, 90m Savage intercept and CNK dropped ball) gifted to them. 3 tries were 1 poor errors cost us 18 points.

We certainly werent good enough today but man, I can't believe the wanking off of the Raiders by the commentators.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Keep the faith @MrFrankWhite !

Nah it’s going to take a major shake up for me to trust Webby. Don’t see it happening

 

[janfin]

Oh SHIT …nothing like the start I had wanted for the start of the season .Oh well hopefully the team will learn heaps from today .Rather disappointing though
