Post Match Warriors v Dolphins - [Round 22, 2025]

[Boats n Hoes]

Thought it was a pretty hearty effort for about 75 minutes tbh.

Then it was like we got the yips and just watched them throw the ball around.

I know no one wants to be the guy that jumps out of the line and leaves a hole but for god sake stop making like a statue and move up! At some point tackle the fcking ball carrier! If u just watch players like Kodi, Katoa and Hammer they'll hurt u......oh well painful lesson to be learned.

Thought Taine was one of our best, adds speed to the attacking tempo which was evident in both Dal's tries. and that cover tackle on Averillo (incidently if im the recruitment team id be jumping all over that if the rumours are true about the Dolphins not re-signing him} was top class.

Roger got us on the front foot all game. I dont think im exaggerating when i say his carries are probably more powerful than any of our front rowers.....still has the fast step as well)

Didnt really rate our chances before the game so in someway im even more disappointed cause this NSW cup team did everything but win it in the last minute. Wouldve been a real bonus getting the 2 points from this one.....cause we wont get them against the Dogs

a question for you folks.
Why do we struggle putting oppposition teams on their backs when tackling? Is it down to poor coaching and wrestling coaching?

Dolphins were able to get us on the back easily whilst our tackles had them on their stomachs.

Im actually happy with how we went last night considering the players out.

Want i really wamt to see is healey stay on the bench though. I dont care if it's CHT or Martin at six, but healey just makes things happen!

I feel like when he runs the ball we get out offload game on, its like he just unlocks the offload game.

This guy never learns and looks to have given a serious injury to one of our top youngsters. Think it’s time players like this are given long suspensions until the penny drops and they learn or simply walk away from the game. Interesting the amount of storm forwards or ex that seem to look to intentionally injure players, NAS is a fine example and this guy in no different

Something that was so disappointing last night was when Healey came back on and immediately threw an absolute bludger of a pass to Boyd on last that resulted in an obstruction penalty.

He's deadly with his running game, particularly when we seem to have been given the licence to offload at long last, but needs to nail the details.

Don't post often. I thought the effort last night from a team missing 8 genuine first grade players and no Bunty or Ale is s a testament to the clubs investment in junior development.

Even with the the Gold Coast loss and others in recent weeks. Playing each week with at least 5 first grade players will hurt any team. I have always thought that the Warriors were over achieving especially with the amount of younger players in the first team squad. You have to remember, Harris and Dylan Walker retired or realised without being replaced.

Taine and CNk are both quality players.
Boyd is not a Metcalfe.....and is doing a good job in a depleted team. Yes he has things to improve on. Its why Webby had him in NSW Cup
Capewell is a team player is effort and leadership is undeniable
Healy has some quality about him

I could say more. As a supporter of the club I could not be prouder. I am so looking to Bulldogs game next and also Manly where I'll be in attendance.

The team will finish top 8 or maybe even top 6 which for me will be a fantastic season.

Be positive as there is so much to like about this squad.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Egan's craft, passing, and game awareness is top teir. He can pretty much run the whole attack up field without the need for half's and get you to the exact spots on the field you want to be.

Healey is a good young player, but at this stage they aren't close.

Its not 2023 anymore

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Play should have stopped on this tackle, but nah have another tackle advantage, dont worry about the players, Ref should be stood down for this IMO

But lets just play over him, dont worry about how he is

View attachment 14021


Then hey just leave him on the ground, might be dead ? Who cares right, play over an injured player, fucking disgrace.

View attachment 14019


Would this have changed the out come of the game if that player was in the defensive line, i would say absolutely.

Is it an excuse to loose, no its not.

But seriously that is some fucked up shit.

Was Leka injured? The answer is no

some of you should just take the night off to cool off. Nothing constructive is going to be said when you are emotional. When you are pissed off, it's natural to look for someone to blame. As usual, it's Ford and DWZ who are copping the brunt of it again despite the fact both had amazing games.

The better team lost tonight. Just like the better team lost in Newcastle 2 weeks ago. We've been winning games like that all year, including against the Dolphins earlier in the year. What goes around unfortunately comes around. These things happen in professional sport. Just ask dragons fans who have had to put up with losses like that all year.

We just need to put that loss in the rear view mirror and move on.

Ford tried his guts out for his too long a playing stint -thats on the coaches -makes errors because he is maximum fatigued.

a question for you folks.
Why do we struggle putting oppposition teams on their backs when tackling? Is it down to poor coaching and wrestling coaching?

Dolphins were able to get us on the back easily whilst our tackles had them on their stomachs.

Willie Mason on Levels earlier this year went quite in depth on the amount of technique involved in the contact and turning players that the Bulldogs train religously. Where different players are aiming for, what their role is wether their 2nd or 3rd man in, where their trying to make contact on the body, which limb their targetting, It was quite eye opening tbh.

We probably do the same in our wrestling sessions and i could be wrong but i think the kai Kara France was a Webby iniative so fairly new.....still learning, getting those techniques imbedded.

I will say tho when we go one out hit ups with no support we're easy fodder for other teams gang tackling......it was noticeable once we started stringing some passes together we were making yards a whole lot easier,

 

[kos]

Clark's one dimensional play is what we need right now. Because his basic play is levels above what we have currently. His one dimensional, hearty runs up the guts denting the line is better than anything our current props offer up.
Leka & Capewell can do the flash shit.

Run Clark through the copying machine add two more Clarks to that side making 3 we win that game.

I could be wrong but it feels like maybe the refs scared us out of it?

Felt earlier in the season thats what we were doing do well, probably the last 6 weeks we have been quick to get off cause they would rather give the ptb speed l.

Watching the dolphins they were pretty grubby in the tackles and didnt get pinged. Jfh was probably leading that at the start for us

 

[kos]

I still think Bunty and Ale in that game last night would have added some zest punch and serious defence round the middle.
This would have given Boyd space to work with.
I expected Kafusi to screw up -he did -got sent off and I thought we had won.
But we didnt take the 2 and fell off in the last 2 minutes rest is history.
TSS still dont see it. Ineffective to an extent in tackles doesnt have the size to punch forward or the 'style' Rewa style of Erin Clark.
Coach left Ford on way too long but I thought he was won of our best
Pompey did some great work too RTS big tick and the young guys.

If the warriors make the finals & get some of their injured players back they could go deeper than week one

He should get 6 weeks minimum!

I know i have harped on about this but Capewell needed to better a s a captain and go to the ref when there was repeat infringements when we had them camped on their line.

Just the little things.

How was JMKs try given but Egans was a double movement last week?

Another small thing Jackson ford is now 8th in the NRL for most penalties conceded.

Ford does some dumb shit, but he gets penalised alot just on reputation, that one against him for incorrect play the ball is a prime example

Their 13 was interfering all night and never got pinged
