Post Match Warriors v Manly - [Round 2, 2025]

[Canonball]

My thoughts from the game were that Boyd and TMM are starting to form a very good combination and understanding. Berry looked good for the hit out and a step above Cup level. I'd continue to play him there for the next 4 rounds with a view to bringing him back in to first grade after the Broncos game. Laban is in the right grade for now IMO. Might be an unpopular view but I think he is still improving and needs to develop a little bit more of a harder edge. I think he is still finding out what he is capable of and I'd look to start introducing him in the back half of the season to first grade if there aren't injury forced changes before then. Those 4 players are the most obvious ones pushing for first team. Behind them Healey,Lussick, Ale and Afoa. Bunty doesn't stand out but he does absolutely nothing wrong, just does his job and does it well IMO.

Kosi is a definite never again from me.

Ale and Bunty were huge in that game - really pushing the line back and giving room for the attack. Either a real option for the top team

50% win rate with Gee

Warriors - Referees - RLP

Had to have a geez as its interesting.
So here is our winrate against all the refs who are the main refs this round:
Gee - 50% over 28 games.
Todd Smith - 44% over 9 games.
Garard Sutton - 46.7% over 30 games
Atkins - 39% over 28 games
Gough - 47.4% over 19 games
Wyatt - 0% over 3 games
Kennedy - 75% over 4 games.
Klein - 36.8% over 38 games.

Now we are not looking for 50% as fair, we need to compare it to our normal winrate.

We have a 43% win percentage over the last 30 years.
Over the last 5 years we had 116 games with 45 wins (fuck me 2021-2022 was bad. 25% win percentage). We had a 39.2% winrate.
And over the last 3 years we had a 43.8% winrate.

So it looks like Gee might be one of if not our best ref to have. Kennedy more so but he has not reffed many of our games. Klein on the other hand...

I have always bet against us when I read Kleins name

Happy to eat my words and why I'm not a coach . Needed that after travelling to Vegas
SJ saying for the halves to be more run first. Check
Scope saying Egan needs to control the game with our halves. Check.
Awesome win. Great blueprint just hope we can keep that effort throughout the year.
Up the Wahs.
