Post Match Warriors v Bulldogs - [Round 25, 2024]

[giffy]

Shame for SJ to lose his last home game.

Bulldogs are aggressive off their line and know our shape so well, knew what we were doing before we did it and stifled our attack.

Our regular attack out of yardage was stifled by Crittas shoulder and Pompey’s injury - we consequently lost momentum and were out enthused in the last 40.

1 more week and then go well AFB, JT, and SJ - you’ve all done the club proud.

Some people just like sucking it up. Unfortunately that group is made up of so called diehard fans and the Warriors HQ. That's why we are still everyone's bitch, and will continue to be.

I'm a die-hard fan. I attended the first ever warriors game in 95. I cried we had a team in the Winfield Cup!! Before that. I followed the Raiders in the 80s and first 5 years of the 90s. But never have I ever seen such bullshit & corrupt officiating like I have seen against the wahs. Year after year. I'm amazed we have investors/owners sometimes. Who'd want to waste millions on a club that constantly gets shit on? Yes, We haven't really reached our potential. That's on us. We'll never get a fair go unless we address it. Or doing something drastic to force them to give us a fair go.

Really feel for Shaun.... deserved a lot better than that.....

.....Story of his career probably.

I would say us long suffering fans deserve a lot better than that.

I love Tevaga's passion for the club and the effort he puts in. However, I'm not going to miss his unforced errors.

I wouldn't be surprised he moves clubs and those errors stop. Such is the way things go with this club.

also where’s the SS9 aftermatch!?
or did crichton shoulder charge that off the tv?!
if it’s not the team or the club or the refs, it’s sky.

why is someone always kooking it?!

Fox League have no interest at all in the NZ audience. Their flagship 360 show is actually on at a good time in NZ @ 8:30pm instead of 6:30pm Sydney, and do everything to avoid mentioning the Warriors. Not selling us advertising I guess, but you'd think growing the game here would be of benefit

I watch it most nights
They focus on the top four sides more than others
And also the team coming last
The teams outside the top 8 don’t get talked about except the spoon side which gives them an opportunity to white ant them

 

[snake77]

I had some hope when they went up. I was hoping the emotion would keep going for a bit.

Like a sucker who has been supporting this club since day one. They got me again.

Like most big events, milestone games or farewells. They usually start well and end it disappointment.

Disappointing but not unexpected.

Still a couple of good things to take away from the game.

Metcalf first 30 minutes. We were completely on the front foot but still good to see he has developed a nice short pass. Last season i doubt he even looks for the pass. Missed a bad one on one with Critta. Went missing a bit in the second half but that's probably a mix of SJs game and the dogs with the wind. Looking forward to seeing what him and TMM can do in the halves next year.

Sifakula looking more and more comfortable in first grade. Hopefully AW uses him well next season.

Capewell another strong game from him. Starting to show his worth since recovering from injury.

I'm quite excited about next season and the team having to reinvent themselves somewhat.

The centres and wingers for us tonight need to be seriously looked at and consideration given to replacements

Whats your take on the 2 shoulder to the head calls? Fair enough or dodgey?

The RTS one should have been a bin IMO. I'm ok with the Barnett one, it was worthy of just a penalty.

As per the whole season, the issue isn't with the decisions being made, it's the consistency of interpretation and punishment from week to week and even game to game.

Probably going to get roasted for this but I actually think the ref we had today is quite a good ref.

Based on manly’s bin’s for shoulder to the head contact last night, Critas should have been a send off

He’s literally Kasey badgers lesbian brother.

He’s a terrible fucking ref.

Dylan Walker got sent off for way less

Remember RTS tackle where the ref though “there was a possibility of a injury”

 

[WahsaurusRex]

Without reading the thread- still trying to leave the ground- but that was the most diabolical reffing display I have ever seen in person

High shots missed or let off lightly, I mean Crichtons hit was worse than any in the Manly game last night, and constant offsides not called. Reed Mahoney may not have been on side a single PTB tonight.

Shed some tears when SJ came out, little shame in admitting that. fuck I am guttered.

 

[Beastmode]

How fitting was that last play by SJ?

Jink, step, beats a man, jink and step again and then drops it cold.

Can’t help but feel that’s his entire career summed up in one play.

To suggest I post like this guy and say he’s my burner account is just plain insulting

Aman 2.0

You’re a muppet

 

[3rdstriker]

Basically fuck the Ref here.
What else to say when we were in control the Ref took it away from us, Haven't read a single post here yet either just my opinion it was absolutely disgusting.

 

[KPWarrior]

Hope we get a detailed explanation of "mitigating factors" or whatever the fk it was

Apologies for insulting your messiah.

He’s clearly not mine.

It’s ok not to get butt hurt over an opinion.

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Andrew Webster finally says something about the lack of calls tonight, but he sure ain’t no Ricky Stuart when he has a crack at the officials…. Scaredy cat!!

Was so bad. Did the sky crew decide it was too wet and couldn’t be bothered???

 

[Aman 2.0]

SJ also ends his career by dropping the ball with his first and last touch.

Don’t think that’s ever happened before.
