Post Match Warriors v Cowboys - [Round 9, 2025]

[Warriorsfan92]

I decided to have an edible about 20 mins into the first half, thinking I was watching a warriors Masterclass. It starting kicking in at halftime. That second half was an absolute fucking roller coaster & the edible only exacerbated things.

Commentary mentioned fish & DWZ back next week.

My chest hurts

Up the fucking wahs

 

[Get them onside ref!]

Nearly had a breakdown in that 2nd ..COWS lifted another gear must have been one hell of a rev up from the coach..

I was having flashbacks to all those years of Warriors losses after great starts in games ...PLEASE not again

the whole game the COWs hammered are weak edges ..first half we seemed to handle it.. zero mistakes really but that 2nd it was like the boys were playing into Sunstrike ..

I can't wait for DWZ to come back and take a WING spot had he been in TT position I think we would have least save a try and got a try ... was TT boots filled of mud ...LEKA runs faster ??

TT IMHO is just not FG material and teams like the COWs knew it and hammered his edge for many tries

CLARK he is clark kent the fucker is SUPERMAN man of steel my MOM simply we lose if he wasn't playing

Does BARNY talk ..we seem to have lost leadership in the 2nd when the COWS just dominated us??

Yeah TT doesn’t do it for me
Just doesn’t use his pace
At the end
Mud in boots

 

[Beastmode]

Why didn’t Taine show sum pace at the end there and run down the sideline
No one was in front of him
He looked starstuck
Wateva that is

Gassed

They all were from the repeated defensive sets

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Kosi’s criticism isn’t warranted with his performances this year. That was great awareness to hold onto the ball with a steamrolling Hess wanting to take the middle out after a kickoff

yeah, he is similar to Ford. Ford gets a lot of shit on this forum for making a couple of bad errors at bad times in the game and it has blackened his name. But he is really a battler who puts his heart/soul into the jersey. Same as Kosi. He had one bad game in 2022 against Melbourne and it's blackened his name forever on this forum. He's really put in this year and even in the 2023 year when he filled in for DWZ.

 

[snake77]

I have been critical of CHT in the past. Mainly as we have struggled when he was the main guy and his ball playing.

At 6 this year he has really looked good. Had some good kicks. I'll admit I wasn't keen on that early tackle cross kick tonight but it would have worked better if the outsides chased it.

However, he has had some nice kicks this year leading to tries.

He had some nice attacking plays linking with Metcalf tonight.

Not being the main half and being able to work in when required is suiting him.

 

[Noitall]

In hindsight, that cock up by the ref giving the cows a 7 tackle set when we were 30-12 up was consequential. Berry got stuffed in that set and our edge defense got a bit stuffed. NRL has some explaining to do.

The game turned at that point for sure

 

[PhilsySH35]

The heartening thing about wins like this is they make the side stronger - there was a lot of adversity in that second half, one might say that we were playing against an additional player or two with some of those calls ... one might, but I won't - up the fucking wahs

agree, I thought you're not allowed to tackle anyone who jumps in the air? tt jumped up to catch the ball and he was tackled whilst still in the air???

 

[3rdstriker]

I'm trying to get into laras! She's a bit busy tonight though.

What about Laura?

 

[MrFrankWhite]

The entire second half was cows vs Capewell+Taine

and they still couldnt get the W

 

[sydneywarrior92]

I really don't blame the boys for what happened in the 2nd half. We're already on a third string backline with Ali out and Kosi in. On top of that Berry goes and Capes has to fill in at center out of position. The TT drop was unfortunate leading to the cow's 5th try but any team with as many edge disruptions we've had this week would have lost that against the cows edge that is on a tear at the moment. Really is remarkable how such an understrength team we have has managed 6-2 and 2nd on the ladder again.

 

[snake77]

I know the field isn't as bad as last week. But it did look like Berry's hamstring was partly due to the surface.

My main concern besides the win and 2 points was to get through without any injuries. We start getting the guys who have been out a while back over the next few weeks.

Ended up with Leiataua scratched before the game and Berry injured during the game.

Let's hope no others get listed as injured post game or during the week.

 

[KPWarrior]

I don't think there's one player that hasn't improved under Webby!

Let alone the collective mindset, the patience, the attitude, and doing it all with some big names missing.

This is starting to eclipse 2023.

 

[PhilsySH35]

Healey came on when our forwards were stuffed and nothing was working, not sure if Egan was on the field at the end

It was Webby throwing the kitchen sink to see what sticks

Healey made a few important tackles at the end

agree, his tackling was on point, loved his all round play.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

What about Laura?

Laura too

 

[Boats n Hoes]

The entire second half was cows vs Capewell+Taine

Bastards knew it too. They we're like Sharks smelling blood in the water.....kept going back there.

They just werent connected at all. That said it also coincided when we were losing the ruck so we made it hard on ourselves.

Something to consider tho next time we have to move Cape's back to the centres.

 

[Tragic]

I'm trying to get into laras! She's a bit busy tonight though.

She is too classy for you bro, she only likes me and cnk.

Berry! ps I'm not Dutchy!

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Man I am getting to magic round! How fucken good is it!

Do we think the new eden park could host one?

 

[mrblonde]

Thanks, Todd. All forgiven.

How the hell did the Cowboys not nail that one?!

I'm off to look at a Cowboys forum. And laugh.

For a halves pairing that might be the least experienced in the NRL, Luke and Chanal aren't looking too tacky...

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Drop whoever you like for next week but we need everybody available throughout the season. I actually wouldn't drop Taine based on his struggles. If Dallin is back then incumbent rule gives Taine a run in cup.
