Post Match [Round 14, 2022] - Warriors vs Sharks Post Match Discussion

[Warriorsplz]

Just be glad they didn't get a player sent off, otherwise we would of lost by 30 more points.

 

[ryno]

Well the first 20 mins was good. I got so disintersested when I could see the wheels falling off so I started to clean the house.

Oh well, didnt expect much different, and now we get to play the Panthers so the losing streak will continue.

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Went to bed early. Not even sure I’ll bother next week as it will be like watching men v’s boys.

Walsh needs to move out of the FB position. His defence is atrocious.

Johnson and Chanel Harris-Tavita both need to move out the team…

Both the centres need to play reserve grade… In fact one of them needs to join Ratuva playing for the Brisbane Roosters in the local comp!!

 

[Up the guttz]

Gees berry is terrible, uncanny he will get the ball at least twice on the 5th every game

 

[kiwiborn91]

I’ve reconciled feeling upset with the team. It’s been a really heartbreaking season but I have every belief that it’s going to pick up and we are going to find our mana. This season ain’t gunna be the one but as us Warriors always say - there’s always next year and being back at home I believe this will be true! Up the Warriors! And hopefully our club finds its heartbeat again soon 🔥

 

[WellingtonOrca]

Our forwards didn’t leak in all those tries … except maybe Murch

Sharks score 8 tries … all came from their backs

So please spare a thought for our forwards ..

The forwards are part of it too, atrocious line speed lets the opposition get away with excessive ball playing which strips numbers. How many times was our pack just sitting there on the heels watching Hynes like they were the studio audience on dancing with the stars?

Compare that to the Sharks linespeed - Wars were taking taps off penalties and the first receiver was getting tackled before hitting the mark.

Not sure what to say.. same shit different day.

 

[WellingtonOrca]

It doesn't make sense. Asi, whilst not a world beater deserves the chance of earning a contract for next season.

I can understand if they want to drop Chanel Harris-Tavita, he seems scared of contact since his bollock injury which as affected his attack too, his main asset was engaging the line before passing but now he just passes it straight away.

Having said that though, Asi was given a chance and showed why he was a reserve grade player at the cows with some actual sloth like defence - just standing and watching without putting any effort at all to make a tackle or help out. I'd rather see what Volkmans got.

Agree regarding Asi...I would hope the lure of a contract my up his efforts I that regards.

Drop Johnson already. Liability at this point. They need to stop investing in Chanel Harris-Tavita now as well if he’s not here next year. Roll out Asi and Volkman for the rest of the year.

Massively disappointed in Berry’s lack of progress. He’s just not good. Those draw and pass reads he could make in his sleep when he first joined the club. As a young player seeing that, why on earth would you choose this club to sign your first professional contract with.

 

[PCamp]

That could be Jim Dymock, Paul Green or Dean Young. Woolfe is in the UK.

Edited post. Is it Adam Mogg. Current Redcliffe coach and ex Warriors assistant

The only coach they are closing in on is Stacey Jones
I back him to turn this team around he just needs two more front row props and some easy decisions in the backs drop some players

 

[roadrunner]

What a total basket case of a club we have got to since the beginning of the season.Most of us were hoping to some improvement and unity.There are so many people in the club that you could terminate that it's not funny.Most games now fans just wait to see how much we get wasted by sad fact.Next season has to be a united group top to bottom for league lovers.

 

[Evil_Mush]

So I didn't have the heart to stick with my 13+ Sharks $50 bet from the other thread, though did go for a ridiculous $20 margin bet on the Sharks by 21.

Might have undersold myself based on the current trajectory 🤣

Damn, not only did I still jinx us to lose by 13+, I also missed the margin by 1 pt (and the $3kish payout), if only we'd gone for an early field goal in the first 15 minutes before falling apart as per usual 🤣

Yay gambling!

I like Berry's effort but he's scrawny and his skills on offense are well below first grade standard. Thought it was telling that they skip passed him for DWZs try after he fkd up a certain try by not passing to Dallin Watene-Zelezniak a few minutes earlier.

They all do, i only watched the first half, but Johnson is taking two steps and going out the back 5 meters before the defensive line.

In the pre game Stacey was talking about the bench bringing energy, Curran did, Bunty came on and looked like he was playing sedated.

They can't move Walsh as they never brought another fullback into the squad, do you move Chanel Harris-Tavita there and hope being away from the front line will make him get involved again? Do you give Arthurs or Asi a go at FB? You can't play Berry at all, anywhere.

Start Curran at 13, put the 10 Jersey on Tohu Harris, Murchie is okay going forward, good for at least one ridiculous error a game though. Bring Katoa back just to see what happens. Jazz starting experiment over, send him back to the bench. If Addin Fonua-Blake isn't back, then have to challenge Bunty somehow to try and step it up as a starter. Still need another bench prop, play a rookie, Lui isn't doing anything for you.

I would have Lui over Afoa, he’s a worse version of Gavet without the mongrel

I actually think he’s gone backwards. Not sure if is the pressure of the environment being away from home. But his hands and distribution for a centre was his main strength a couple years ago, so much so that he was viewed as a ball playing fullback at one point (got a reserve grade game there in 2020 before Covid). But now he cannot even make a simple draw and pass. When you also throw in how far backwards Katoa has gone… dark, dark times for this club.

 

[Mr Frank White]

How much was that paying?

$10.

I haven't watched him outside of the Warriors but he probably looked like a superstar in school rugby and the lower leagues because everything was moving slower. He doesn't have the natural instinct and timing from playing league at centre since childhood. Kata was the same, couldn't draw and pass at full speed so was afraid to try. That'd be my concern with Francis M too if the Warriors managed to get him. I'd want to see him playing against men at full speed before throwing money at him, not super rugby u20s or similar age grades in Aussie league.

Anyone else notice Sironen for the first maybe 15mins he was on? I thought he was awesome. And i usually think hes mud.

Thought Lui should have been on longer. He was solid when we were lacking a proper prop. It was soo obvious that you cant just throw backrowers as props. We were running a bit sideways once Ben Murdoch-Masila went off.

Afoa was solid too. One of his better games apart from the shit pass he got on his first touch from Tevaga.

The looked solid for the first couple monutes but then Pompey goes and kicks out on the full after a Try and then Sharks scored, and we couldnt get back into the game because our halves were shit.
