Beta rugby league I'm afraid. Very timid in the last 10 mins. No one looked like they wanted to properly win the game, just trying to 'not lose'. Running the ball on the last twice in a row, awful. Especially when you know the Phins can attack from anywhere and Wahs defence is nowhere near good enough to contain them.

Deserved the loss.

6-8 finish now with a first round exit in the finals.
 
Does anyone claim to know how the clock works. Last year it stopped after a try in the last 5 minutes. Tonight they scored at 79:00 and then the clock ran out while he took the kick. New rule this year? Did they announce it?

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.
 
We lost.

Once you get over the butt hurt there is a lot to like out of that game.

So Healy can't pass the ball properly consistently. That answers why he isn't picked every week that the horde cry out his name.

I thought he played well though, not hating on him.

Boyd and TMM did really well to use ball movement to counter our lack of Prop forward platform. Top game from both.

Said in game day Boyd needs to tweak his tackling, the heart is there, he doesn't stick, going in too hard and hap hazard, needs to calm down and switch that up for better should arm wrap timing.

Taine was really good.

Pompey was outstanding.

But the best of the bunch was Ford who took up the challenge and played a lone battle in the middle aided by Clarks usual direct game.

The Dolphins should have murdered us.

When we came out for the second half and played them to a stand still, had em clueless for most of that half, I was so proud.

We got burned at the end, no biggie. Shit happens.

Well done Warriors.
 
Clark was good again tonight. His runs through the middle especially in the first half helped get us some momentum.

It also gave Healey something to play off. Healy was good tonight, running from dummy half or playing around the offloads.

Capewell looked better being back in the second row. He filled in well at centre but we need to get him back to his preferred position.

RTS gain busy. Also found some space a few times.

Like most teams at this time of the year and every year it's about depth of your squad.
We went better than I expected but we had a few things go our way.
Plenty of effort but we need everyone to be desperate. Everyone
 
we looked good second half but as it went on, and as the Wahs shut up shop and just a 2 point lead you could just feel the comeback was there for the taking... we had some missed opportunities 1st half and attack look pedestrian at time but good effort from the young guys... was Jackson playing last quarter?..... B for effort

Carm down. Conservative is what was required and coached. We owned them for 35 minutes. Kenty talks about refs controlling the game not blowing penalty all the time. We play rugby like and respect the ref. Ozzie manipulate the ref, so these teams i think are even on that respect. Ref would have stopped for Melbourne and most other high profile teams.
 
Mad game, never seen so many last tackle surrenders in their 10 not even trying to put the nail in the coffin. Webby thinks so far outside the box he must be levitating above it, gotta hand it to him though they nearly pulled it off. Not sure about Tanah, he played the percentage gameplan pretty well, TMM looked more creative than Chanel. Dallin came up with a genius defensive read for that intercept, I swear he's an idiot savant.
 
I thought we actually played well considering the injuries. RTS was outstanding as was Capewell. DWZ improved from the last couple of weeks. Clark was good although thought he was a little one dimension at times. TMM looked more like a 6 tonight.

Thought Leka was fairly poor defensively at times. Always looks good with ball in hand but needs to improve off the ball. EIT had a solid debut and looked busy off the ball.

I actually feel better about the rest of the season after tonight. Lots of effort even if we didn't take the win.
