Post Match Warriors vs Broncos - [Round 7, 2025]

[Wahs_Ultras]

Hopefully we get shown some respect after that win. To beat an essentially full strength broncos team with the amount of outs we have is something to be extremely proud about.

Best win of the season.

Cannot believe the B team did this.

Or even more like our C team.

Bodes well for the rest of the 2025 season.

 

[The Truth]

We got a fair rub from the ref I think, other times we would have been screwed over.

But i believe we were the better team for the most part and deserved the win.

Well done boys!

To be fair, one of the broncs should have gone to the bin in the first 20 minutes for continual interference in their 20. About 28 tackles for us of which 26 were given as penalties or set restarts.

How good was the CHT hit on Adam Reynolds

 

[Kav1]

Very glad metcalf was the 1 that went for the winning kick and got it. Hopefully it helps his confidence in goal kicking.

He can only kick them in front - what about trying Tavita-Harris again for the angle kicks?

There was so much bloviating in the fox pre-game about how much better the Broncs are. Even on this forum, many were predicting that our gameplan wouldn't work against the bigger packs like Brisbane and how we'd be taught another lesson like we had in Melbourne. But I think this game proves that our forward pack can stand up to anyone. I really thought our depleted but youthful and energetic pack tonight held our own against the fearsome Brisbane pack and at times outmuscle them. We outran them, both in total rms and pcms, won the possession stakes and for the most part controlled the game down their end. So proud the boys did it without Fish.

Or Pompey

 

[Brightman]

That penalty for a lifting tackle is the first time I have ever seen that rule applied to a tackle where the player wasn't being lifted by the legs

nor did he land on his head..

Or Pompey

or taine

 

[Leon Black]

We won…… that is all

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Was really worried going into this game that the experienced Broncos halves vs our inexperienced halves would be the thing that would cost us if we lose this game. But I have to say not only did our halves stand up when it matters but the broncos experienced halves really failed in game management when it mattered. I was convinced we were going to lose after LM missed his DG attempt and Broncs had a 7 tackle set to finish normal time. Absolutely gobsmacked that they actually failed to get a drop goal attempt for their last set.

I feel I need to clarify that when you alternate upper and lower case letters, you are being sarcastic.

Yes it was an ugly win, like all our previous wins have been. But consider we had no CNK, RTS, DWZ, JFH, Berry. Broncos essentially full strength and considered a premiership contender by most. Should be really proud of that win. This was the toughest 2 week period of our season, so it's great to emerge 4-2-1 and inside the top 4. From here, our draw gets relatively easier, so we should aim to maintain our strong ladder position until the cavalry arrives (rounds 10-11).

Next 3 games: Knights (H), Cowboys (H), Dragons (A)- no slam dunks but if we can come out of this period 6-3-1 or 7-2-1, we will set us up nicely right before the origin period hits. We have more games during origin this year I think.

I believe they gave us 2 byes to protect other teams and the other game is against the Raiders. At least we only miss Barney for 1 game though, maybe Raiders will lose Hudson Young. Egan is an outside chance

I hope the opposition treating us like wooden spooners though

I know Metcalf at 7 has caused a lot of debate. I'll worry about any faults for another thread.

One thing though. Having him around the ball so much means he's more likely to be there in support. He's been there for quite a few tries like the one tonight. The others in support were a bit more traditional than tonights.

It has been good having his speed there in support to finish off opportunities.

Just like a natural 6 or 1

Definite question marks over certain aspects of his game as an on the ball half (and they quite evident), but i do take my hat off to the kid who after kicking like he had 2 left shoes couldve quite easily passed it on to Pompey. But to back himself and want to be "that guy".....thats half the battle.

Kudos must go to our middles for that one who worked their arses off. Barney and Clark leading the line speed, the great wall of Bunty, and Ford....who altho has a lot of gumby about him, has one big engine under the bonnet.

As much as id rather a comfortable win, think this is how we'll get most of our wins this year.....compete for 80, and grind like hell.

 

[KPWarrior]

Not that long ago we couldn't manage a game in those conditions let alone having so many outs.

 

[CWC]

Shout out to Egan making a low tackle causing a knock on instead of knock on the head

What a funky night

I doubt it but that's ok. I like how sneaky we are being this year. No one is giving us a second thought that we are currently sitting 3rd after essentially a third of the season.

I like reading the comments on other fan forums after a win. Bulldogs are generally alright except for some expat kiwi dog fans. Scooby in particular. He is a absolute retard whan talking about us! Would love to jump off a building on to his face.
