Yeah agree with all that, I’m just making a point vs a view from some on here that it was our best performance of the season.

Certainly not our best performance. I agree with you on that.

It was an important win, in terms of our season and avoiding getting into a losing slump.
I think a lot of the individual performances were pretty good. A bit more flow as a team on both defence and offence is needed.
Tigers line speed was poor, the likes of the Bulldogs wont give us such an easy ride up the pitch. But theres still life in this season yet.

Good point - but I would like to see more of him. He showed real skill and speed against the Sharks.
I can't shake the thought of Boyd at 7, Metcalf still 6. I think that creates a winning spine. I think the attachment to CHT is unhealthy. He has some strengths, but he's not as good as Boyd or Metcalf. I think Boyd/Metcalf is the combination which could take us to another level. Boyd's organization and kicking - you can't deny we didn't look good. DWZ was better. Taine flourished. Berry was on. RTS was better. Freeing Metcalf to just run through holes and set up the outsides, I think it could be fire.

Just consider that we have lost two of our key players (Barney and Luke) and were missing another (Chanz) and we were facing pressure to reverse the two game slump.

Nah sold out means all available tickets have been distributed.
If there is no inventory to purchase it's sold out.
It's sad to see corporate tickets unused - but the club generate big money from those alignments these days.

Some cheeky bastards do that before the games too. The number of times over the years I've had to tell them
Cht has been building a very good season i don't think Webster or me will agree with you at all.
Top 4 atm, great teams win off the back of great defense and Cht is the best defensive 6 in the game.
No Capewell, we lose a Center mid game, there were lots of things against us....I am coming around to this being our best win this season....and that is based off our Hard grafting Aussies that glue this team together being out.
I think the Tigers beating the Roosters the week before puts to bed any dismissing of their threat out of hand.
It usually takes a new Warriors halves combo six weeks to gel.

Objectively the Sharks game was better.
We score more and conceded less points against a much better team.
However, it was still a decent crack with all you've just mentioned.
"Hard grafting Aussies",
the bloke in a bar podcast review mentioned how instrumental Jackson Ford has been to our squad this year, his filling in when jfh and Barnett both were out he has really been a key part of the squad.
Watching the Kick off he was a yard in front of everyone out the gate. Dude is a machine.

Shhhh, the bloke gets pinged for things he doesn't even do, please don't give the ref something else to look at!
Watching that game again, I actually think us and raiders are the best grinding teams in the comp and the style could serve us well. You could see as the game went on that our physical defence put the tigers player receiving the ball in two minds on multiple occasions and they coughed the ball up. Our defence has taken it’s toll on many players this year, Trbojovich hasn’t looked the same since we played manly and many players have picked up niggles after playing us, Samuela Fainu late against the tigers too. I posted the other day I didn’t see us beating teams like the storm but the dragons showed earlier in the season that if you can stick with them, there’s a vulnerability there, especially a team like broncos too. Really exciting to see what we can achieve this season
To go against the grain, I thought Bloke in a Bar were a bit over the top in their praise for Ford. Granted he had a very good game last weekend, bar the missed tackle on the line & a penalty, but for Kemp to suggest we might not be in the 8 without him is way too far. We've won 1 out of 3 since Barnett was injured and against the Panthers & Broncos he wasn't influential. Don't get me wrong, he's an important cog going forward and deserves his flowers for his effort vs Wests (& also stood up in the second Raiders game) but I just thought they were a bit too complimentary of his season as a whole

They had Api, Starford, Luai , May and Luai wanted this scalp. He was geeing his team up for the upset. The tigers are an nrl standard side. There is no bad team this year unlike past seasons.
Now after bigging us up like this - we better beat the knights. I don't like the smell of Gagai at fullback - he could do some damage there.
Halasima made him look foolish at the end of the game. You must have been so conflicted
