[Beastmode]

All you saddies, would you prefer we played champagne rugby and lost or ugly ruby but WIN.

I want the WIN.
Dont care how we get it.
Just WIN.

 

[BlackToko88]

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.

Well theh were raising some money for mental health pre game today, what better way then to ask warriors fans

It's mostly been fairly ugly wins all year. This one was particularly ugly though

 

[steakncheese]

Ok I’m always the optimist but ffs we are struggling with individual accountability. I’m so happy we won fk it would have been horrendous at my club to drop out of the 8. But we made it bros so Im happy asf atm dammit. Player analysis later on after my negative Nelly thoughts dissipate.

 

[CWC]

I mean you tske the win, but fk me.

Fish was awful, really thought he would up for it especially with all the pre match stuff.

Seemed more focused on his pregame performances the last 2 weeks. Football first on the footy field for a footy captain please

POST MATCH

The official NZWF thread for all post match discussion on this weeks game. Celebrate. Vent. Who were your stand outs? Who needs to be dropped? Man of the match (MOM)?

Discuss...

Another frustrating watch, they came right at the end, but another top 4 team would have taken them to the cleaners and lets not forget the Dragons lost 3 players. Tana Boyd showed he's the right guy to have at half given who the Warriors have available. If nothing else, his kicking is superior to anyone else and its a critical part of the modern game. Why he wasn't picked for a wet game last week beats me.
Anyway, I'll give them 6/10 for this game but they need to improve rapidly.

There's absolutely no reason to think his leading indigenous round celebrations and ceremonies had any effect on his in game performances.

 

[CWC]

Just be glad we got a W and stopped the bleeding lads, that’s how it goes sometimes, you do anything to get back on the winning train and build from there

Imagine if we played like this and lost

I didn’t watch the whole pregame stuff, so he LEAD the ceremony?
I’ve seen too many players with extracurricular activities that correlated with form slumps

I'd prefer if we played champagne rugby and win.

I fast forwarded the game and saw DWZ and Pompey getting put off by their inside men, it’s a domino

First domino - I've been watching Marata super close the past few weeks and it's definitely starting with him. He makes pretty poor decisions a lot, and doesn't have the speed/lateral to compensate for getting himself stuck for too long. Essentially why they've tried to turn him into a prop but injuries have curtailed that.

Second domino - Tanah isn't a great defender, he gets beaten a lot and seems to make some poor decisions.

Third domino - Don't feel Pompey is overly to blame, we've seen that left edge hold it down for the majority of the season.

Fourth domino - DWZ, hes left with way too many decisions to make due to everything inside him. This isn't ideal for someone who's made a career struggling with defensive decisions on the wing.

I think you could put Critta at right centre and there would still likely be trys a plenty, maybe a few less but one player can't fix so many issues by themself.

me too.
And I'd prefer to be young and rich also, but i know that's not going to happen either.

 

[RustyFT]

Is anyone able to explain the rationale behind our second try not being an obstruction? I was at the game and thought that try was going to be taken off for sure.

 

[BlackToko88]

I'd prefer if we played champagne rugby and win.

Id prefer to have a 6 pack bur here I am wirh a beer belly…

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

That’s funny. I’m also a ginger and I unleash on him.

 

[Warriorsfan92]

That’s the worst I’ve ever seen fish play. Maybe let the occasion get to him? Whatever it is, I’m confident he’ll step up because as a leader that’s unacceptable. 2 big errors & penalties, at the worst time. He was very similar last week. I back him to bounce back, but that was poor tonight from our captain.

That dramatic Haka at the start? I thought- Ahhh, That's it we're fucked! Lol.
Can't be mean mugging /Pukana eye-ing mother fuckers than come out playing like grizzly looking pandas aka Jane's dressed as Tarzan.

Too much Kaka , Not enough Mana!

Who cares how we win, as long as we win.

Somehow this fucken team is back in the top 4. It was a hard watch but damn, who out of any of us would have picked this at season start.

I am just gonna ride this ride this wave for as long as it lasts.

PS Greg Alexander is an absolute c**t

The above is an image I cut from Kayo of Brandy after our game on the Fox panel last week right after he said..

"The Warriors won't win another game this season"

The dude has a weird fetish of wanting us to fail like no other.
