Post Match Warriors v Panthers - [Round 11, 2024]

[Makasene]

Watching the end of the game again today.

What do we make of the Ali tackle attempt (or lack thereof) on To'o?

Will give him the benefit playing injured (and well) for most of the game but it has been a common critique of his - chucking arms.

 

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

I have just re-watched the game, and our senior players really stood up.

Walker
Barnett
Jazz
TMM

Were all outstanding.

This will give Webster food for thought when players start coming back from injury.

Is it too early to book an all-inclusive non-refundable flight, accommodation, transfers, and grand final seat package (on the halfway line), with commemorative Warriors 2024 NRL Champions whole of back and forehead tattoo and matching Warriors 2024 NRL Champions car and house painting?

Where’s the faith? You need to get Warriors: NRL premiers 2024, 2025 & 2026 tattooed on your forehead!!!!

What happens in 2027? Rebuild year?

I believe Egan is a good actor and any chance he gets he stays down and hobbles off for.a free interchange which make us fans think he’s made of glass.

But to many times he is getting his head in the wrong place and is actually getting smashed.

He deserves an oscar if thats the case.

The amount of times he pulls out of a tackle looking like he's just been shot! Clutching at a leg or a rib
Im thinking "oh shit he's gone here" but seems to shake it off eventually. Seems to pick up a lot of "stingers" where the initial pain suggests something worse is done than it actually is.

As far as the head knocks go just think he's one of those guys that shouldnt go low, he'd be better off with the wrap and stick.

Some pretty weird takes on this game but seen that has been brought up already so I will move on...

- Jazz was massive, I always want him in the team
- good to see Monty stay on his man, Pompey had a shot to tackle his but got burnt twice
- Taine is not our fullback and still 3rd choice. He had a good game yes, but otherwise just been solid.

As Webby said in pre game, we finally have a team playing without carrying injuries. That's why it felt fresh and fast. It wasn't just the 'magical youth'.

The only rookies that I think could hold their position is Ali (for Berry), Laban (for Capewell) and Roache (for Lussick). Everyone else is a gap filler at this stage.

If he's a usual culprit for that kind of stuff then I wouldn't want him in first grade much to be honest. Don't want to be leaking soft tries on the right like we do on the left. As boring as they are, i've always valued centers who know how to tackle and pass, even if they're a bit flat on attack.

He's definitely one of those players that warms into the season and gets better if he frequently gets minutes. Sometimes a bit rusty after a break

So Webby.. STOP playing guys with niggles.. if not 100% you are on the pine (non playing). Trust in youth...

 

[Kav1]

He started his career on the wing

He can end it there

Twine is my #FB choice right now with CNK #6

Taine had the game of his life. You cannot replace him while he continues that form. Charnze can play centre outside Te Maire until SJ comes back.

So then your drop a player as soon as they have a bad game? So if SJ was fit you don't bring him back till TMM plays poorly? Your theory is extremely flawed.

You do realise that the better everyone plays around you the easier it is to shine right? Taking nothing away from Taine but one good game at the back doesn't dislodged Charnze.

I am arguing that we can better Chanze's undoubted attacking abilities by placing him outside Te Maire. He is wasted bringing the ball back only to be smashed by opposing forwards. TMM had a spectacular game on Sunday so you leave him there. It is already acknowledged that Shaun is struggling with injury so let him have a good break in the meantime.

 

[Zaggo]

I was fortunate enough to be over in Brisbane for Magic Round with a few fellow Warriors fans.

I'm not exaggerating when I say probably 80% of fans in other teams jerseys gave an UP THE WAHS as we walked past, and there was nothing but positive vibes from them and wishing us well for the season. We have really made ourselves everyone's second team.

We were also fortunate enough to have SJ himself spot us on Sunday morning, and he gave us an extremely hearty UP THE WAHS BOYS as he drove past. Absolutely awesome.

I thought the other forward should have covered To'o with him and Ali was left to do a diving tackle from (kind of) behind which was difficult against?

Cameron Smith said on a radio show that the ending to our game had the loudest noise, like a playoff match. It was wild lol

Spectacular game from TMM? Where have our standards gone? He had a good half and was shithouse in the first half.

That's not the way I saw it but what did he do wrong in the first half? If his game in the first half was bad, maybe he took time to adjust to an unfamiliar role.

You are just contradicting yourself mate. I honestly have no idea what you are trying to say. Drop players as soon as they play poorly but also forgive them if they do cause they might come right? Hypothetically if SJ was 100% fit this week what would you do with CNK, TMM and Taine?

That was so outrageously bad I have to assume the injury was starting to hinder him badly. If not it’s a dropping offence.
