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

[afakasi247]

Can’t believe we’re back in the top 4 with all the real killers

Warriors in the Top 4:

 

[Wah u talkin about Wallis]

I would like to see him back as he is running it back nswrl and without the errors.

Bunty playing for a contract. If he's any good, Wayne will grab him. Defence is the name of the game at the moment. Not hard runs

 

[Teets]

The masterclass of Boyd v Flanagan had the crowd on the edge of their seats.

An epic of Mason Lino vs Bodie Croft like proportions.

Hopefully Tanah gets some confidence out of those few runs he took and takes the line on a bit more next week.

So I’m not a fan of CNK at centre but at least he can tackle. Pompey - and DWZ - hmmmm

Sheeshz, 20+ missed tackles between Marata, Boyd, Pomps, DWZ on that right edge.

 

[Wellington Warrior]

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 was so ineffective tonight. Usually he is a much better playmaking fullback option in attack than CNK but he was awful tonight. Running his outside backs out of room. We somehow managed to run a sweeping backline play out to our left wing only to find CNK with the ball with RTS outside him and 4 defenders waiting for them both.

I’m celebrating the win the same as any win. Like it’s my birthday.
Shame the majority of the forum aren’t.
I’ll worry about dissecting it tomorrow.

Man your tomorrow is gonna suck, enjoy tonight my friend

For all the people rage posting right now, let's keep some perspective.

Dragons are no longer the mud side they've been all year. They were robbed against the Dogs, beat Canberra and taught Cronulla a lesson last week. Getting the 2 pts was never going to be easy tonight and we had to be good to beat them. They are a grubby side with their season on the line. To be as bad as we were and come away with the 2 pts is actually fortunate.

As for the game, no doubt that ranks as one of our worst performances all year, despite it being a win. For a side with the best completion rate in the comp, 10 errors is just ridiculous. No one player should be scape goated- JFH, Ford, Leka. They all contributed to the mess we created in the ruck.

But once we got out of our own way, I thought we won the middle battle. Erin did his usual thing and was our best I thought. DWZ, RTS monster meters as per usual. TSS also had another solid outing. EIT also did well in the middle, even though that is not his natural position.

Finally, Pompey haters need to chill. He had a shocking start no doubt and Finae was running rings around him. But he definitely redeemed himself by showing up Finae twice in the final 20 minutes, including for the match winning try. Pompey is one of our most consistent performers week in week out. So one mixed performance we should give.

To add to that, the 3 HIAs was wild….had that not happened the game was all St George’s, it gave us a leg up eventually

Didn’t we just beat the team that has just beaten Raiders and Cronulla.
We are top 4 despite so many setbacks and are safe in the 8.
And there was so much fantastic play at times and more first grade experience for Healey Tanner and Eddie.
Leka didn’t play the second half.

People going on about the Dragons losing three players are the same moaners that ignore that calculus in why our team is having a hard time.

I thought the Dragons barely skipped a beat with all their outs.

 

[Leon Black]

If Webby is happy with the win…. I will have no words

 

[Dannevegas]

I thought the Dragons barely skipped a beat with all their outs.

Because they were playing us…any other team would’ve bent them over and punished them. Lets be honest

 

[Wah u talkin about Wallis]

We played an 8 round boxing match, that was the game plan. Body shot( hit the middles) wear them out, then a few head shots in the final rounds. Win on points, rather than the ko they where going for( Sloan almost getting through). Enjoy a win.

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

Bruh, they lost three forwards lol

And we still struggled.

 

[CWC]

We worked out our game plan now I guess, knock out 3 of their players and limp to a win

 

[timburgesstheonlyoneiknow]

A win is a win. Hard watching but credit to the Warriors resilience and Dragon efforts. Dallin and Roger were awesome second half and Boyd look good when he ran the ball.

And TSS impressed in the forwards

Taine was so ineffective tonight. Usually he is a much better playmaking fullback option in attack than CNK but he was awful tonight. Running his outside backs out of room.

Think he had baby on his mind

You can't compare losing players mid-game to players unavailable due to injury.

[CWC]

Same problems as before

- Ford playing too long, PTB shockers and drop balls
- Leka clearly fatigued by now, 3 drop balls
- Right edge still fragile, I saw Boyd reading wrong for 1 of the tries

I was sure they were gonna bunk that up, even though I was sitting down the other end in the South Stand.

Also, six agains are even worse in person when you can't hear what the refs dumb reason is

Being a fellow ginger, I will hold my tongue against young Todd, but he was really grinding my gears especially in that first half hah

 

[MrFrankWhite]

If you consider the battle of the Somme entertainment.

Grim watching, but hope it gives the boys confidence.

A+ Ford, Clark, DWZ, Rog
A CHT, Egan,
B+ Boyd, JFH, Marata, Leka, Demi, Pompey
B Charnze

A++++ Those Dragons that knocked themselves out. Poor buggers, but that happened because JFH just put that little burst at the line getting in front of the tackle. DWZ knockout was him off the back fence. You make your own luck.

Less mistakes boys and make it a bit easier.

Egan was poor and Marata was terrible

 

[Zarjaz]

Great to get the win, grinding effort, but FML we don't look convincing at all…
How many bloody errors does Jacko need to make in a row to convince Webby that maybe… just maybe… he's not an 80 minute front rower.
