Post Match Warriors v Dragons - [Round 24, 2025]

šŸ¤– AI Summary

šŸ“ Summary:

Warriors fans express relief at defeating the Dragons to secure a top-4 finals spot, though the win is widely criticized as ugly and unconvincing, with members #7 #8 #33 calling it one of the club's worst victories. Concerns dominate discussions about inconsistent player form—Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck earn praise for strong carries #58 #34, while Jackson Ford, James Fisher-Harris, and Pompey face scrutiny for errors and penalties #54 #71 #87. Broader team challenges include inefficient attacking structures #24 #42, questionable bench rotations #46 #60, and doubts about playoff competitiveness against elite teams #23 #71. Despite the criticism, one member #114 argues the Dragons were resurgent opponents and highlights defensive resilience in the final quarter, crediting improved middle-forward efforts. Others debate Backline experimentation #80 #126, though consensus remains that the win's significance outweighs its flaws for finals qualification #15 #53.

Most folk are brain dead, nice win ? ugly win ? It does not matter. The warriors are a confidence team, if they string a few wins into the finals, steel up. They will be hard to beat

Do you guys remember the game where we had Michael Witt and Grant Rovellli ? As our halves.....

We have had a unfortunate issue with combinations towards the back end of the season, which is always gonna make any attacking side to convert to points a problem.

The difference between last week and tonight, Boyd needs to play out the season regardless of the outcome, it was so easy to see how much more impact he had on the game taking the ball to the line and running shapes outside to our wingers.

Healy coming on, i would near say is change of play, won us the game. Egan is the shit. But Healy fresh and on point. Sign this guy up.

TMM as much i like the guy, he is not the answer for our halves into the finals.
 
Are we gaining anything from the cnk to centre and taine to fb move? Taine is best suited to wing but he wont get it above dwz or rts. Cnk needs to go back to fb.
Taine's most impressive contribution from fullback for me has been his positioning when defending clean line breaks, saved a couple of trys against the knights and another tonight.
 
Win or lose tonight we aren’t winning the gf, the way I see it, if we can scam 5th or 6th (we won’t hold onto 4th) and somehow make it to the Second week of finals that’s a good building block. 2 points is 2 points at this time of the year. You often learn as much from these sort of games as you do a loss.. swings and roundabouts, we played well against the Phins and lost, played awful tonight and won. We are 4th and snapped a losing streak, crack a smile you wet blankets
 
Disgusting, diabolical, unethical win.

And before you say ā€œa wins a win I’ll take itā€, I’d almost prefer NOT to take this win it was that bad.*

The worst ā€œtop 4ā€ side ever bro 😭

*edit: because we didn’t deserve to win, fact.
Yeah, but over the years we've lost games we deserved to win, so...

I'd rank that as - even although, obviously as a Warriors fan I had some emotion invested in the game - one of the crappiest, we-can't-be-arsed-to-win/we-don't-know-how-to-win games I've ever seen. Absolutely not the kind of game you show someone to introduce them to The Greatest Game Of All.

We have got to, for Gawd's sake, get Adam or someone who's better than 75% accuracy doing the kicking.

Felt for the Dragons a bit as they had those 3 Haitch-High-Hayes during the game but I'm sure we've suffered similar over the years...

The best thing about tonight is, frankly, that that was not the Warriors at their bestest.

If it was, we'd be fighting for that Pikelet Making Tool ie The Wooden Spoon...
 
Come on now. You sure about that?
I see alot of disappointed people in here.
Are people really surprised with the performance?
After the talk all week about our injuries and last man standing ?.
But we win and its not good enough... no pleasing some people... .

AND I HAVE EVERY RIGH TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH OF SOME FANS ON THIS FORUM STILL UPSET OVER A WIN.
I think context needs to be added around the "win"

They were playing with no bench forwards from the 30th minute.

Two of their 19 year old forwards played the full game pretty much.

They were clearly the better team but just ran out of gas at the end due to no rest.

I don't think it takes a genius to identify that we will be out in straight sets come finals (and probably don't win another round robin game). That's where the disappointment lies.

I don't think anyone is disappointed about collecting two points.
