Post Match Sharks v Warriors - [Round 26, 2024]

[snake77]

Gotta give credit to the cronulla club and their players for how they honoured SJ post match. Such a fitting way to end the game.

Well it was their old boys day.

He wasn't part of their guard of honour at the start of the game. The least they could do was honour him at the end of the game.

Let's hope he does good work mentoring the halves. The guys taking over from him need work. You can see the difference having Cronk, Andrew or Matty Johns at some clubs. Having someone based locally would help a lot.

SJs been let down by body injuries. His brain is all good.

I reckon he’ll do well in a mentoring position,

Warriors doing Warriors things!
This team… you can’t live with them and you can’t live without them!
Already looking forward to next season.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

I have a gut feeling Ali and CNK were a big factor in last nights win. We've been getting dominated at centre for most of the season and last night those two had huge meters, tackle busts, line breaks, quick ptbs and only 1 missed tackle between them.

 

[Inruin]

Great to finish off the season with a win. Both for SJ, AFB and Jazz, but also for the rest of the team. Pity we can't play our games against 12 all the time.

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

The time is definitely right to hang up the boots.

Where was this style of play previously? Was it Webby or SJ leading it?

Going to be an interesting off season and team selections.

 

[Playdaball]

Also does anyone know why Lussick was playing like prop? Seemed weird having him and egan at rhe same time

That was crazy, unless forced???
Lussick gets ‘turtled ‘ when tackled - giving the opposition more time to get back on defence.

Yea man no idea what that was all about. They usually use Ale there but saw him used more on edge.

Maybe webby sees lussick as a prop in few years

its because Webster is stupid. Someone else pointed out that Sifakula and Ale were on the bench when Lussick was playing prop.
I mean Webster is stupid and stubborn and over loyal to certain team members.
I posted earlier he needs a strong assistant coach who questions his decisions and provides a strong counter point.

 

[Kav1]

I don't know what to make of that. How do we win that one?
And where the hell has that version of Johnson been all year?

That's done for another year. Have a good off season all. See you next year

Injured for the most part

 

[Kav1]

How fucking good was Jazz in his final stint

Worth his weight in gold. Notable was his try saving tackle on Brailey two feet in front of the posts. They scored 22 points when he was not on the field and only 6 when he was. Our loss will be someone else's gain. Hope it doesn't come back to bite us.

 

[Kav1]

How Warriors is it to play conservative football all year. Come to the final game and the offloads stick and they move the ball and make breaks.

A fit and happy SJ

 

[Kav1]

Shame Sharks! Away next week to Melbourne!

Sea Eagles actually

 

[RiceOwl]

Fantastic and incredibly bittersweet game to finish the year. Congratulations to all the boys for that one and getting it done especially for SJ but also to finish the season on a high and give some confidence for next year.

We aren't a 13th place team. Were we a top 8 team this year? No, not quite, but we have showed on a few occasions we could compete with the contenders. It has been hard to know why we didnt quite reach the heights of the top 8 this year but I genuinely believe injuries and changing of combinations has been a big reason, losing those 2 early games, some refereeing decisions influencing some of the close games, but whatever it has been it just is what it is. I often like the quote that applies to the NRL which says - you are never going quite as good as you think you are and you never going quite as bad as you think you are, and I think that is apt for this year.

On the game though - SJ fantastic, and congratulations on your career. That was just a great way to finish. We will miss Addin but am looking forward to having JFH here. Metcalf showed some nice glimpses too and showed we missed that combo of SJ and him this year.

We showed some character to get up for this game and that is a statement in my eyes for Andrew Webster as well. As surely if the boys didnt respect him or each other they wouldve just packed it in for the season, so was great to see some fight there. He has a bit to work with for next year and some interesting calls to make in regards to positions and the make up of the side, but I will look forward to 25 and hope the fans continue to pack out MSS as the future of the club is bright.

Lastly, glad it was done to the Sharkies, can't stand them. Hope they get bundled out in the finals.

Yeah I just realized that there is one more week forgot we had the bye

6min - Warriors celebration chant bellowing in the background is hilarious

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Thoughts from the highlights;

1. Sifakula was actually really busy on D for a long period of time. Was scrambling on all Sharks breaks.

2. Lussick was getting shredded on defense.

3. Walker see above.

4. Marata was horrific from start to finish. If he had put in 100% on D, we would have stopped at least 3 Sharkies tries.

5. Game looked good when we got the 50/50 calls.

6. Ali is an absolute animal. If he can elevate his defence we could be looking at a new Toopi. His natural ability to beat a defender through power moves is amazing. Can drop a shoulder then switch ball arms to fend in an instant.

7. Metcalf is hopefully going to be great for us. Short and long passing, kicking, trying the 2pt field goal.

It was good to actually get a win, but where were performances like this all season. This season was 27 games, not just one. Imagine where the team could be if they had played like this all season.

Lot's of experts on here with stats and theories when the answer is as simple as effort

Story of our year, last night's game was.

So close you could fart and we'd be playing finals.

Niukore can go. If there's no workethic, theres no point.

For those with roseys for Jazz. You have short memories

It's the way the game is going

Sometimes (mostly) its to do with who is putting in the effort. That depends on who is available.
