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

[peewee]

Little bit at the end where Erin Tanah Tmm combined to spin the ball wide.
I think the coaches game plan disallows second phase.

Dead right.
Webster is to conservative for his own good
People are getting sick of his tactics

 

[kos]

I dont think we are getting beaten up in the forward pack. We are making good yardage most of the time.

We see different things.
Fish def made good pcm played well
Ford was like a deer in the headlights -on coach -played him 74 mins
I dont know why TSS gets picked.
I thought the Titans forward pack played out of their skin and rolled us.
We need some size -hmmm -who played 8 and 10 in Nsw cup

 

[kos]

Can't be bothered reading the endless dribble so will just post my thoughts.
Tits and a few other teams have worked out how to beat us, really quite simple.
Mo fat arse acre and Gillard know to lie all over us as the Ref will not penalise them. If we are a second too long the refs will penalise us.
Foran completely owned the ref and got in his ear the whole game, physcoligy and keeps the ref watching us and not them.
With what the tits got away with in the ruck we were never going to beat them and don't get me started on the 6 agains.

Des Hasler known tactics.

What I've noticed about this season is when Websters plan works it can work well, but when it doesn't work there is no alternative.

Yesterday it seemed like the Titans beat the Warriors at their own game, they had the possession and field position and made little errors. We couldn't wrestle any momentum back. I think that comes down to the forwards, and their rotations, the conservative backline that doesn't have a shred of flair, and just a little bad luck with officiating - but mostly coaching. Problem is I don't think Webster has ever dropped an out of form senior player (I half remember a few players being "injured" a couple of years ago). It's ridiculous when you have the NSW Cup team in all time form but they can't be promoted for out of form half injured players who have been promised positions.

I'm kind of glad we didn't find a way to win that game because otherwise they would definitely roll out the same team and game plan next week. At least a loss might make the coaching team try something different.

Something different????
Maybe DWZ will wear different coloured undies.
Webster wont do shit. And we all know it.
Teams jam in on defence cause they know they can with our style
Always trying to bash it through the middle so they dont need to cover our outsides
Hence there are no gaps to expose

As was mentioned before the game, Hasler has a 70%+ win streak over the Warriors as a coach. Webster hasn’t got a win over Hasler yet apparently, but his win streak over Warriors goes further back than Webster. For whatever reason Hasler knows how to beat Warriors

 

[steakncheese]

Fuk it get Stacey out of the coaching box he’s a known loser put Tangatoa in there after the Regis finish, known winner ffs

Fuck it. Let's fire him and put the club in turmoil for the next decade again. #sarc for all those about to get worked up

 

[Mr Drag]

Now they're just gaslighting us cause there ain't no fucking way

No wonder DWZ ain't getting better, He's like Trump hanging around his yes men!

 

[Mr Drag]

Fuck it. Let's fire him and put the club in turmoil for the next decade again. #sarc for all those about to get worked up

I thought you hated Conservative people?

Damn right we should! For Webster to once again fall short of expectations everyone has of the warriors this year! Anything bar a top 4 finish into a grand final is far below par.

Im sure everyone had us in the top 8 at the start of this year! I say we chuck conservative Andrew Webster and go for a real coach on the market. Any coach out there should be able to get us this far with the stock we have!

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Opposition teams are getting a big leg up with the weekly gift of repeat sets against the Warriors. Those calls do matter and have a huge impact on the final score as it did last night, and I am honestly surprised not many others have mentioned it so far. Ill be that guy...

It would be interesting to see exactly how long it took for the ref to blow the whistle against the Warriors for holding down in the tackle in the first 20 minutes compared to how long the Titans were allowed to lie in the tackle in the final half hour. Seemed absolutely one sided again last night from the stands and does have an affect on performance and the result. Titans were allowed to hold down longer resulting in Warriors struggling for momentum, while I found myself (and probably the players) watching and waiting for the ref to penalize us most defensive sets gifting the Titans quick play the ball. The six again’s are consistently inconsistent. It is all up to the ref’s vibe, and it seemed clear to me that the ref wasn’t vibing with us again last night.

No, I am not new to league. Yes, I hate watching Warriors lose. Agreed, the Warriors should have played better and I am disappointed in the performance, result, gameplan and team selections for this game.

We just seem to be such an easy team to penalize, and those repeat sets are just another uncontrollable hurdle the Warriors have to overcome most weeks.

To the bitter end.

I think the refs are trying to hand break the top 4 teams and close the competition up. Lower the top teams and raise the cellar dwellers.

They couldn’t take us down against the Knights so did a better job this week.

Such is the way of the NRL. ‘Closest competition in the world’

 

[Damo]

Fuk it get Stacey out of the coaching box he’s a known loser put Tangatoa in there after the Regis finish, known winner ffs

Tangatoa is in there already.

 

[Kav1]

Even at fullback his defence would be shit.

Like, bring in some players with SPEED!

Leka has speed coupled with strength and footwork to match. We need to put him at centre where he can exploit those qualities.

Yeah, lets put our best 2nd Rower at centre.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Who else didn't have a morning woody because of this team? Depressing aye?
Or is it because I'm old?

Do we see this team rising to the occasion in the next few weeks? Unlike us?

Or do some think we are done for the season?

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Yeah, lets put our best 2nd Rower at centre.

Not a silly idea. Leka could be our best centre as well!

Capewell returns to second row where he’s better suited and Leka will destroy in attack from centre and has the lateral movement to be a better centre than Capewell as well.

Leka at centre would score 2 tries a game every week. Might never feed his wing but does that matter

 

[Victor_Radley's_Scrotum]

Had awful dream last night that we got beaten up by the lowly Titans, woke up in a cold sweat and everything. Thankfully it was just a dream...right? Right??? Oh ffs

 

[timburgesstheonlyoneiknow]

The Warriors were beaten by a team who better on the day. The loss of Egan was huge. Just his all round play was missed and leadership. The Warriors have struggled with injuries in key positions and experience in recent times. You have to remember the level of in experience in the forwards.

Plus Capewell having to fill in the gaps at Centre. Hopefully next week he can get back to the second row and Egan is fit (head knock protocol's permitting).

CNK will be better for the run.
