Good effort from the boys. Gutting to lose that

 

[MXRecord]

Well winning that would be papering over the cracks.

We've been mud and serious questions need to be asked. To let them in and win the game like that WHEN WE HAD AN EXTRA MAN isn't good enough.

I'm not sold on Boyd. He isn't up to it.

 

[BrisbaneWarrior]

To be up 18-16 after down 6-16. But then to give away a stupid penalty at the end.

Overall much better game from the team

 

[Barzak]

Would love to hear any arguments to keep Ford in the team. His discipline is disgusting.

 

[bringinthebulls]

Fuck off

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Good effort from a severely depleted team

 

[WahsaurusRex]

 

[Funky Ed Koosie]

That was a choke

And on a positive note:

Clarke - great game. Mr reliable giving 100% every run. Battering ram!

RTS - similar to the good old days. Playing with confidence.

Leka - x-factor. Starting to expect a try a week now!

Healey - explosive but my highlight was the footy IQ. Passed wider when needed to unsettle the fast defence. Excellent game.

Capewell - plays better in the second row.

EIT - great debut. Did nothing wrong. Welcome to the big league!

CNK - injured or attitude? Lots of opportunity to get involved but pretty non existent.

Webster - changed up the team positively. Allowed offloads. For a conservative coach, he made some big moves.

Why was DWZ penalised?
Are you not allowed to tackles players from behind?

 

[BrisbaneWarrior]

Much better performance but fuck me, that sucks. We can’t take a trick with injuries

 

[demco]

Kiss good bye toi the top 4 and no more progress in the first game of the play off RUBBISH

 

[Jaffa J]

Lack of killer instinct is why we’re never contenders goodbye to top 4

 

[1995warriorsfan]

2 points is 2 points

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Cant knock the effort, but fuck me! All them standing around at the end there.

 

[Zaggo]

Absolutely gutted.

How are we so shit at home?

 

[Makasene]

We're in free fall

Dogs, Titans, Eels will all beat us

Good luck at Brookvale in DCEs last game

It was high, stupid but high

It is always tough losing late. We got the joy of getting the late match winner a few weeks ago. The opposite this week.

I can accept this week more than last week. A depleted side battled away, against a better opposition.
