Post Match Tigers v Warriors - [Round 4, 2025]

[Matiunz]

The Warriors played cleanly while the Tigers played dirty. I might be biased but I believe we're the cleanest team in the NRL.

I thought we were a bit lucky that first 20mins the amount of time we were allowed in the ruck, ref gave a few 6 agains but we were certainly testing the boundaries

 

[Kav1]

Tigers probably think we played dirty to get the match winning penalty. In my mind, a dirty win is still a win. Sometimes you have to learn to be a bit grubby to win.

There is a difference between games man ship and playing dirty

 

[Beastmode]

result is an A+ but the actual performance was not great, they had 2 or 3? tries disallowed that were super close and our defence around the ruck when fish and barnett were off was horrific, id argue that if May's try was scored when they were up 24-18, theyd have probably ended up winning by 20

Under this criteria you basically never give it an A+

I gave A+ because I expected us to fold like we have in the past

A+ because we came from behind

A+ because of Halasimas unbelievable try

Most importantly

A+ because we won and get 4 points

Imagine if played the perfect game and lost
That’s two weeks of misery for everyone

What were your ratings for the Manly and Roosters games?

Imo the Manly win was up there as one of our top 5 wins in the last 3 years. And that wasn't even an A+ haha.

It’s all about the win in my books
Doesn’t have to be pretty.
In fact having a fantastic performance only lose sucks balls min C…

Sick.

I gave it a B, because I thought we can play better.

Why do you care?

You sound like an Asian parent

You sound like an Asian parent

You sound like someone with low aspirations in life.

You still didn't answer my question, btw.

Sorry mum
I’ll aim higher next time

Good boy.

One day you'll make your dad proud, son.

Now run along and play.

Laban for Niukore
Healy can do Fords work
Pretty easy swaps.

Laban I can get on board with.
I like Ford though, he has got some punch this year and his clean up and off the ball work is first class.
Healy can't do the same as Ford but I wouldn't mind seeing him get some time somewhere

I think Ford has found his niche right at the moment. High energy 40 minutes from the bench.

Interesting that the other three on the bench hit roughly 30 minutes each. Has AW finally worked out that he has 4 on the bench each game?

People on here have been very critical of AW and his selections this year but I think he is still learning.
So far so good
Might be a fast learner. Time will tell but I'm pretty satisfied for now

Touch wood it continues, but a healthy Egan is better for the team all around

The difference is he's changed his tackling technique

Agreed, I would like to see Healey (or Lussick) on the bench giving him a 20min or so spell each game. Love Egan and what he is producing but from previous seasons we need him fit for the back end.

 

[Noitall]

And Victor Radley has adopted it

 

[Ref]

I have just watched the replay and only half as smashed as last night.
That was a fantastic game of league.
The game evolves quickly at times and we are trying to play an enterprising attacking style and a brutal defensive style.
This comp is wide open.
The Leka try was started by Ed Kosi leaping under pressure to diffuse a bomb about 15 metres out.
TT might have had the next run and then maybe CNK.
Then Ali scooted left from dummy half and TT had rushed from the left to the right to make the overlap.
Perfect passes from Ali and TT.
Ford was insane in his new cameo.

Wonder if Egan is just too important for this inexperienced halves combination at this point? Seems to be a leader on the field at present too. He’s a big factor in the wins we’re having

 

[steakncheese]

You can see it coming, mandatory HIAs to deter cheats like Charnze.

Charnze has been doing it a lot....A LOT...

Yup he’s a flopper But if the ref doesn’t penalised forceful contact to the head then he has no choice but to gain advantage for the team.
