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

[Kaos A.D.]

nothing annoys me more than kiwis who don't support the wahs.

I know a kiwi bloke who's never been to Canterbury or Bankstown but he's a true diehard Bulldogs fan wtf is wrong with these people...

This is the type of high IQ discussion that keeps me coming back.

It's gotta stop man! We've played six matches this year after losing Johnson, Tohu, AFB, Dylan Walker, and we have a bunch of crucial injuries, and somehow, SOMEHOW, we're 4&2. There are way more teams than elite halves. We HAVE to try and build and develop our own halves pairing. So many people would have us switching our halves pairing every other week. It's just a terrible, terrible idea. We have to back this pairing for this year (barring a truly catastrophic run). If I see hair brained "tuaupiki to six, boyd to seven", posts I'm giving them the one word treatment.

 

[Garry Saloon]

Okay

Apart from all the other reasons switching our halves pairing is a bad idea, nsw cup is nsw cup. It's not the nrl. If Metcalfe and cht were in cup they'd be carving up and people would be calling for them to be in the team.

A good win based on effort and bloody mondeness.
Those criticising Kosi his stats and efforts are first class. What alternatives do we have. The man has stood up for his team. You need the Kosis of the eorld to stand up when required.
Metcalf another effort player. A few misses it happens came good in the end.
CHT, it is so important to have a strong defensive Half. Probably the best defender there since Andrew Johns.
Everybody contributed and out efforted Broncos

Agree mate, get behind our players, they all did a great job to get the win

You are right. Constructive criticism is OK, just start from a positive place.

Would have the warriors win on a dry track in brisbane?

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

We’ve have the most tackles in the opposition 20 across the season (40+ per game) but are 12th for attack points.

We are literally not converting possession into points. The third place team on -18 pd is insane!

We’re winning but doing it the very hard way. Wins are wins but it could be so much easier.

It's kinda Raideresque.

Which is not ideal.

But.

We did get to see some of the tinniest trys we've seen in a while (TT's audition for AFC) and a 50 metre kick to end golden point, which is very Warrioresque.

But I agree, we were camped in their 20 for a chunk of the game last night and walked away with nothing.

Would we have won the 2002 Grand Final if Daniel Anderson didn't play a video tape at half time?

Tough win from the boys, it's basically the same game plan that has been getting us over the line in all our wins to date... All effort... Shout out to Ford, Clark, Barney setting the platform, doing the hard yards with special plays thrown in the mix from our young guys... Our halves not setting the world on fire but still getting us wins is all you can ask, so much growth and upside for the future... could get all nitpicky with certain players at certain times with errors etc, but it was a team effort in the end, which is what you want when up against more vaunted side... So happy where we sit and especially after last week, I also love how we sit under the radar, we are the underdog but we just quietly get the win, while the other team lost the game according to media and pundits... Can't wait to next week in a new stadium with a big crowd let's go

Cowboys finished top 4 in 2007 with -71

It can be done!

that's nuts - how?

 

[Playdaball]

Or Pompey

Or TT ( better option)
Or Boyd

 

[Playdaball]

It was Roberts

It was Mike McRoberts

 

[Garry Saloon]

Or TT ( better option)
Or Boyd

It was blowing a gale. Lots of misjudged kicks, in play and off the tee.

 

[Playdaball]

Need to get TT involved on attack in the middle as sides start to get tired. He looks likely to make breaks.

 

[Wah's Up]

And nobody gave us a shit show.
Love it!

Well, four of us clicked the 13+ Win for the Warriors. Some of us have faith in the team and the coach.
Even with the injuries the boys seem to be gelling as a team and some really good individual efforts there last night.

I don't think anyone is going to argue that out attack has been going good, as it's clear to see it's clunky AF.
Same problem we've had for years - close wins and heavy losses result in a terrible for and against.

The good thing however, is 5 of the 6 teams we've played have been top 8 so in theory, a few games against some of the less well polished teams should see us improve our attack somewhat.

Plenty of troops due back in the next 4 weeks or so too, which should help our attack moving forward

That's crazy to me that the Mongers aren't in the top 8.

People forget something about our beloved halfback. He's played 32 games of first grade footy.

32.

We are top three, with a 32 game halfback. Give it time.

When I lived in Sydney, the most annoying ones were the expat kiwis who were Broncos fans. Also can't stand Matt Devlin's producer who is a Broncos fan who hates the wahs.
