Post Match Warriors v Roosters - [Round 3, 2025]

[run_it_str8_again]

I said it before the season started and got laughed at. We have the toughest pack in the NRL
Marata - Jake the Muss
Fish - One scary fucker
Barnett - Considered to be an enforcer and nearly lost his career at the Knights for elbowing some poor Kent in the face because Barnett just "felt like it".
On the top of that we have the hombre twins Vaimauga and Halasema who like it rough.

The only "nice guys" in our forward pack are Capewell and Ford.

They got belted in round one.

Rounds two and three, they stood their ground

I don't mind healthy debate as long as it is positive and looking ahead to the future (I wonder if AW has a little look at this forum from time to time as we should be seen to be supporting him; this might apply to some players as well so be careful what you post)

I hope not. Last thing any sports orginazation's staff needs is to look into fan comments, outside of the ones in the marketing department.

How often does this actually happen, where points are given to the losing team? Seems pretty bull shit to me.

Also, for those who were questioning Marata, bloke picks up 2 points as one of the best on ground

He got one point for each injured Rooster

Marata: 48m, 32 tackles
Ford: 151m, 43 tackles

I know you can't rely entirely on stats to tell the tale but f me how did Niukore get 2 points? Bloke ran at a halfback a couple of times to little effect, and the voters reckoned he smashed it.

Ford and Leka robbed.

And yes I was at the game so can categorically state I saw Marata doing diddly!

1 and 2 I understand, but the rest.. waht...?

Spencer Leniu was pretty dynamic.

The Dally M's really seem to favour the marquee stars of the NRL (the Australian ones that is)
Tedesco was decent - but hit the ball dead with his nuts and got out jumped by CHT. Those are pretty decisive moments.

On multiple occasions judges have been found out to not actually watch the games. They will have seen it was relatively close, and Teddy had OK stats, so he probably had a good game - throw him a point.

I'm not suer if I've mentioned it previously, however the upcoming game vs the Storm away could be a real test as to how this year will go. We've not beaten them for ages and a win would be the get one off the monkeys back

I honestly think people are missing the forest for the trees here, I get all the concern over attack, I would like to flog teams by 30 plus aswell. But at the end of the day we are winning and nicely too. Let the halfs learn and back out defence to allow them to we need to go back to the 2023 defence that we built that season off.

So true, after watching the Roosters post thirty eight points over the Panthers the week before, I think most of us would have given up takeaway night for a win if the footy gods so offered (hell some on here would sacrifice their childrens pet guinea pig).

I keep going back to two things about this win.

One is Trent Robinsons smugness that they have a Warriors template.

Two is thinking of the many many times we have defended valiantly against a top NRL team and surprised everybody....yet land on the wrong side of a respectable 14 -6 pointer.

He had 7 tackle breaks but there were 7 forwards from both teams who made more run meters than him, with others imo having much more impact on the game than he did. Whyte had more meters and tackles and scored a try...I dunno it just shits me when we're duped like that.

That explains a lot, what a corrupt crock of shit.

 

[kurgal]

The best thing about this win?

They played for the full 80 - and left no doubt about it

Perhaps like some of the ref’ing it shows that former players have crap judgement

They will be down on troops with Meaney (goalkicker) out with a broken jaw and probably Hughes with a busted hand

The Dally M system has been broken for a while.

IMO it must move to the old Rugby League Week system - every player on the field rated out of 10. Over the course of the season you will find a much fairer winner

Someone ask ai who should get DM points based on stats lol

It will be a good benchmark, however they'll have too much speed for us and I'd be surprised if we weren't beaten by 30.
