Post Match Warriors v Titans - [Round 21, 2025]

[regenerated borg]

Well Mt Smart ain't no fortress ... lost count of the loses...

 

[BRING DA RUCKUS]

I think the game was lost when Capewell & DWZ failed so bad last week but Webby persisted with the pairing & TT played his way into a starting jersey but got dropped anyways.

 

[ToiletDuck]

A few things...

- DWZ is absolutely the worst player in the side and by some margin at present. He needs some NSW Cup time ASAP. There is no possible way someone like Taine would do a worse job.
- Capewell back to the backrow and play whichever fit and available centre we have. He is a non event defensively. Move CNK if need be. Capewell just cannot continue here unless it is a mid-game shift to cover injury.
- CHT is shite, but there's no one else to replace him.

Titans played well. Won every department pretty comfortably and completed high 90s.

In other quite sad news, I've just run the ladder predictor. Assuming we lose to the Phins next week, then to Dogs, Manly and Titans away, but win against Eels and Dragons - we will finish 8th. I think that is a far more likely scenario than top 4.

 

[Canonball]

oooof .... that was yeah, you guys saw that .... egan missing massive... should've called CHT into 9 immediately and played the table topping halves pairing from cup into play from then too ... that was fucked up in many ways... credit to the tits... just made no errors really

 

[Billyspleen75]

Definitely captaining Farnworth in Fantasy next week

 

[1995warriorsfan]

Losing Egan was huge but we are shit.

 

[Evil_Mush]

Disappointing, but somehow don't feel as bad about that loss as I was feeling a split second before Leka got the ball last week

 

[MXRecord]

DWZ must go. If you still think he's up to standard after that game your eyes are painted on

 

[WHB]

They play us with confidence because they have the game plan and speed to beat the Warriors nine times out of ten.

18 Words.

Just like the Storm.

 

[snake77]

We were lucky to get away with the win last week.

At 10-0 it looked like we may be about to turn around last weeks performance.

Our home games are more of a grind than our away games. The conditions do seem to lead to tight games. It doesn't help that we can be drop off for periods.

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Played well for the first 15 minutes and then Egan goes off and Sutton starts to ping us for everything.
I’d rather see Tuaupiki at the back. He at least offers something in attack. CNK is nothing but a yardage maker and an attacking play killer.
Capewell needs to get the fuck out of the centres. His attack is non existent and his missed tackle count tonight will be horrendous.
DWZ can just fuck off.
We need some fucking speed from somewhere. Backline are largely slow plodders.
Ford needs to stop giving away set restarts.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

the sad thing is Webby will pick him next week

And start Capewell next to him again. Webby is pissing me off.

 

[3rdstriker]

Injured players and players playing with injuries=burnout.
Apart from Dallins performance no choice but to flush this performance and reset.

 

[Canonball]

Losing Egan was huge but we are shit.

Nah we're not shit, but that was a shit performance ..

 

[Ryno 2.0]

Maybe its a blessing in disguise. I am looking forward to see what Webster does here, hes super conservative but in my opinion we need to creatively fix the right edge e.g. CNK / Leka to right center with Tuiapiki coming back at fullback. Marata should go to the bench as well and Capewell and Laban can go on the edges.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Our game plan 101 is to grind teams to death......the Titans we;re up for it with 94% completion

And we dont have the strike to run a B or C plan when its not working.

CNK at fullback and Capewell at centre is doubling down on the _"we have no strike so we'll bore u to death".

The game plan needs to be coupled with an abrasiveness and the whole hunting in packs thing. Forcing the opposition into errors by tormenting them, which were able to do with Barnett and our early season form. We look soft all of a sudden.

 

[kurgal]

Talk about a Titans hoodoo!

But defence was shocking!!

 

[kiwileaguefan]

Wheels are falling off....less the tigers game, four poor performances put of the last 5 games.

Edge defence getting shredded by the bottom team.....wait till next week

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Healey's directness will be a godsend. That is how we need to play.

 

[Evil_Mush]

Disappointing, but somehow don't feel as bad about that loss as I was feeling a split second before Leka got the ball last week

And while I didn't get my $4k multi, I did win the This Warriors Life t shirt on the mixnpik

Silver linings!
