Post Match Redcliffe Dolphins v NZ Warriors - [Round 8, 2026]

[CWC]

I am okay with the Flegler sin binning as that is how that has been ruled.

I have commented in the past often the player that at fault knows he's done wrong and will look to apologise to the opposition player and ends up having to defent themselves as the team mates rush in.

Looking at the replay it looked like he was over Leiataua trying to get his mouth guard out. Can understand our guys rushing in. Good that no one got hurt. Imagine back in the day and all in brawl and the replay shows the guy was doing the right thing.

They did show monty betham brawl pre game

Happy that we won for CHT's 100th! Hope he gets 100 more here.

A bit lucky play wasn't stopped and he was called off after the Barnett head clash. Thought the independent doctor might intervene.

Would have caused a bit of a re-shuffle if he went off as well.

 

[Falcon]

Erin Clark & JFH practically said we are going to do it all ourselves, - get out of the way.
Anyone else think the Phins looked massive, WWE builds

 

[Mr Drag]

Ugly win and we are back in 2nd place!

 

[Five&Last]

Death and taxes and Dallin losing the ball in our 20 when the game is on a knife edge.

To then jog back to his wing like it’s just another day in the office

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

Warriors own the caketin. Can’t say the same for the AB’s…..

 

[Beastmode]

It was quite apparent tonight that Taine Tuapiki is, infact, very small….

I said during the week that he was better suited to the Titans game and Phins had a bigger backline that suited CNK but Webby didn’t read the memo

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

We’ve gotten away with average goal kicking this season, I thought for a while this was gonna be the time it bit us

Is every try scored on the sideline this season?

DWZ with 9 tries and AKP with 4

Poor Boyd has a tough run.

 

[borgy]

Boys had a bad night... errors, all sorts...
Years ago, would of got bitched, no 2pts..
Different now, our team is at a new level... off days still can get comp pts...

Herbie was one misswing away from wearing him like a hat….

I almost called the police,

But yeah, we need a bigger Fullback.

 

[roguei]

Last year was SO much worse for heart attack games.

Y’all had it too good this year

Aye! No need to jynx it. We have only really played bottom tier teams and won. Roosters round 1 (when was the last time they have ever won a 1st round), 14th raiders, 9th knights (without ponga, sharpe and brown), 14th storm, 13th titans and now a still pretty good 12th placed dolphins. I can foresee some close games as we battle it out with the fellow top 8 teams.

 

[the WARs]

The Fins forwards matched our forwards
Thank goodness for Erin who gave us momentum in critical periods. He was our energy player
Contained Herbie and our edges held almost
Questions
Why does Webster play Ford for 80?
Surely a fresh body would be better
Why does Taine take hit ups from our try line and he is the smallest guy on the field
Taine had a good game
Do we lose Barnett and Ali next week?

Yes, my only grip with Webster is his bench use ... we have some great players they deserve more than just few minutes end of the game when FORD is out on his feet ... good reason we didn't seem to take advantage when Fledger was 10min in the bin .. we seen to run flat ...

many of the WAHs players trying endless dumbee passes .."BOYD"!! We connected well with our edges early in the game for tries, then to sleep on the spread the ball plays for much more one outs ..

Hands up when 6-18 down you were having Déjà vu of the Tigers game ??

So, we’re getting the spoon then?

 

[the WARs]

Thankful for the win

Thankful DWZ brain dead errors in not playing the ball properly and mouthing off to the ref giving away a penalty didn’t cost us the game cause I was ready to unleash ….


Taine also had a poor one. CNK back next week. And we go again

Yes, DWZ is hot-headed and needs to chill the fuck out at times and just play the ball

 

[CWC]

I thought they fell asleep after the ceremony and good they didn’t panic and woke up

 

[kos]

Who has signed Dwz for 2027?

 

[Canonball]

Boyd had a very poor game - so did liam kennedy - credit to the Phins forwards who held there side up very well

where was the support play ? metcalf up the middle on the end of a couple of those breaks probably means we win by a bit more

frustrating but we got there and stayed there which is a good sign - plenty of lessons

You have to take the good with the bad with TT.

He is very small and it’s easy to exploit.

CNK perhaps makes a try saver on their first try when TT was covering and made a poor attempt sliding across.

But we also don’t win this game without TT. His injections add a completely different dimension to this team, especially when Boyd and CHT can be extremely clunky with the shape they throw.

He needs to keep his spot over CNK

 

[timburgesstheonlyoneiknow]

Tough game and but another 2 points
