Post Match Warriors v Eels - [Round 26, 2025]

[Sukhdev]

I think its time we move on from Stacey. Hes a legend but his attacking style is not working for us. We look stiff, robotic and predictable and the only reason why we got back in is the boys started playing footy and creating chaos.

 

[Beastmode]

170m, no errors is more than adequate when Berry didn't pass him the ball on attack once

I’m supposed to be impressed with 179m?? GTFOH. I do that in my sleep.

Yeah and no errors cause no one passed it to him

 

[the WARs]

Shame to lose like that.

The team has far exceeded my expectations for the year.

Just a shame it most likely end with us out of the 4.

Got us finishing 7th playing the PHINS away, which actually would be the best team, and location to play we can't WIN at home .... storm doing us a solid tonight

 

[Makasene]

Pompeys try was legit there was no knock on, all of us could see it, the bunker killed us... makes you wonder where the real money is invested ..

It was inconclusive.

We are not able to say either way if it was or wasn't.

It is a procedural issue with the Bunker. They should have to justify with what evidence they had to overturn the decision.

In my opinion, it is a fair question to ask if he touched it. But the ruling (as with CNK) should have been that the refs decision was supported due to inconclusive evidence.

The story is not that the NRL have conjured up a knock on that never happened.

 

[RustyFT]

He didn’t touch it with enough force to alter its direction - forward.

That’s why nobody could tell if he even touched it.

It was a 50/50 possibly with it going up a try but we’ve had our share of 50/50’s this season. Shit happens.

Disagree with your first point, agree with your final point

 

[juju]

That one stings emotionally.

Had to listen to some emotional music on the way home and wallow in my misery.

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Why does Cnk take so many hit ups
Sure 320 m in total
But does that reduce his gas in defence?

Counted at least 3 times he took 2 hit ups a set.

All 3 times its was on the 4th with pretty much a nothing hit up on the halfway.

Was thinking "why are u doing that?" Wasnt as if no one else couldve put their hand up. Why not play a support running off a shoulder or providing an option to spread if needed.......get the defence looking at multiple threats rather than all eyes on the ball carrier.

I get that he's all effort and his early carries are invaluable, but when we're playing catch up his limitations on attack are really highlighted.

 

[regenerated borg]

We’re coached to play percentage plays and low risk/ error games.

It’s Webby ball.

It worked, until we got screwed by the bunker, Pompeys try was good, there was no knock on, Boyd's conversion would of won us the game..

 

[Sukhdev]

Look on the bright side with how poor they play at home playing on the road in the finals might actually help them

You're an angry man Beast.

I'm not saying he had a good game. I'm simply saying the effort was there.

Also, no fucking way you're making more than Niukore does

 

[forbesgp]

After having time to reflect, im not that disappointed.
The eels got lucky with a couple of long distance tries, but I thought we were looking pretty good in the second half.
Lowest we can finish is 6th, which I think is probably a fair reflection.
I love it when we play finals footy so up the wahs!

 

[jonesy101]

I'm still really salty. Haven't been all season until now. Celebrated the wins and accepted the losses in what has been so great to watch but it just feels so bad to have the comeback win snatched away in those circumstances. Brandy questioned the overturning of the try!

Over here in Aus the tv angles said the same, even the commentators couldn't understand it...

You know its bad when Brandy who normally hates us questions it lol.

 

[Beastmode]

It was NOT CONCLUSIVE enough to overturn the refs initial call!!!!

 

[The Warrior Waka]

179 inches maybe. Are you mixing drinks again? beer & wine again Beasty?

 

[Beastmode]

Fuck even if he did touch it

It didn’t go back!!!!!

 

[Beastmode]

In your dreams buddy

 

[3rdstriker]

Great game i thought a few lucky tries to the Eels they just wanted it more.
An absolute shocker from the Ref though a few iffy calls there, we definitely didn’t get the rub of the green but i loved that we were in the game for the full 80.
Lots of positves to away and negatives too.

 

[El Chuckie]

It's either gone back off Leka or forward off their bloke. I sort of admire the Bunker for not even trying to pretend to get it right.
