Post Match Titans v Warriors - [Round 16, 2024]

[Ever Hopeful]

We run with an undersized middle of CHT, Tevaga & Ford for a 23 minute period where we concede 24 unanswered points...

It is bewildering. Most out there personnel decisions since Kearney's later days.

Actually worse.

 

[Naynay]

So at no time today or during the game did AW think of subbing SJ off and switch to having TMM and CHT in the halves. At no time did he think of bringing Laban on and pushing Walker back to 13.

The game was fucked well and truly before halftime but the fact we made no tactical changes like the above tells you a lot.

To be honest , I get the frustration but it could do damage if these guys come on as fodder to a fucked game, let the oldies that got us into that mess suffer and cut them, no need to damage ale, laben and to lesser extent the Tmm and cht combo

It all lays with the coachSo at no time today or during the game did AW think of subbing SJ off and switch to having TMM and CHT in the halves. At no time did he think of bringing Laban on and pushing Walker back to 13.

100% It all lays with the coach.
He fucked up big time today

 

[Tragic]

Here is a quote for you. The Titans did not even play all that well. Had we been up against the Roosters tonight they would have clocked over 80.

Who said that?

Wrighty?

Those players are in the 17. They are already part of it. No more damage could be done that was already there and they have been part of that three game run previously so know they can contribute

 

[Ever Hopeful]

SJ's had chronic injuries for a few years now. I think we got really lucky last year, and he was good enough to stand up and deliver. it was magic.

Body says no, as much as anything else that is happening. He'll call it, I'm sure of it.

I hope he does, because he has been such an awesome part of Warriors history and it would be sad for it to end in a whimper. I have always wished that Stacey didn't come back.

 

[Matiunz]

Get on the Sydney swans bandwagon bro.
My missus is Aussie and goes for the swans, it's a nice change watching a winning team

I’m ambivalent to AFL but the swans have been playing some exciting footy that I’ve found myself watching a bit of them

 

[CWC]

Leaking 66 points isn’t SJ’s problem but it was De javu to see those Berry chase Berry kicks where we then give away penalties or get rolled back and start from our 10m and lose the grind again

Our seniors played and got us into a hole, our juniors came on and epically beat 2 top 4 sides, then the seniors returned and we conceded over 100 points in 140 minutes of rugby

If Webby thinks correlation does not equal causation then it’ll be the beginning of the end…. I am confident though he will bring wholesale changes, despite the typical press conference right after the game. 3 days to think about what happened.

 

[Wrighty]

After it got to 30-0 the Warriors stopped playing like a team and each player starting trying to win it by himself which culminated in CNK trying to step through 6 players by himself on the 4th tackle in the red zone instead of giving it to the halves to put a play on and run a shape.

Judging by that press conference i dont think there will be any changes. Lets see.

I started fast forward the game, I am sure the players did the same

Was AFB good or is he back to the rotten apple BTS?

Tread lightly. That's how I started supporting Hawthorn

I hope you are right
Right now he just says we didn't man up and front up physically tonight and he wants a better attitude next week. He said we were soft. I really hope it is one of those things where you just can't afford to tell the truth in the presser yet get very real in the post mortem review. It is hard though as those pressers are for the fans and it was not a good presser for what he shared.

 

[KPWarrior]

Yip, I think we're disagreeing on the best way to get them to dominate. I think confidence comes from when you're winning. Can't do that with a halves combo that doesn't know what the hell they're doing.



You say this, but we've been trash with him in the team this year and scrapped through a lot of games that we should have one last year.

Last year we had a far better attitude to defence imo, which I hoped would become our absolute non-negotiable base line.

A few games last year we scraped a win 'because of SJ' we can't just discount players like this, TMM included!

Ya I think it’d be an awful look to stand down AFB for a week but roll out the same side after a 60 point drubbing, if you don’t have the attitude you shouldn’t be here

And NRL wants a second team based on the Wahs fever Hold the horses guys

 

[Wrighty]

When CHT went to lock our middle third defence became a swinging open gate.
CHT first time at lock
Walker first time at second row.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Leaking 66 points isn’t SJ’s problem

13 tackles, 6 missed, 1 ineffective. He was hardly the glue holding it together.

 

[KO WAI RA]

SAY NO MORE!!!!
Don’t want to hear bout NO more sell out’s back home either cos we aint winning there too…

Was referring to other posters defending him and giving the benefit of the doubt
