Post Match Warriors vs Panthers - [Round 16, 2025]

[snake77]

I'd have preferred to have played the Panthers from the early rounds that kept dropping the ball.

 

[Po11um]

Probably best to have a loss at this time of the year so the warriors can reevaluate things

 

[Noitall]

Well that's put a dampener on Matariki, first game of the year and we flopped, not as bad as Vegas though.

Seem to be playing better on the road than at home at the moment with two on the trot. The opposition has been pretty handy though

 

[snake77]

Does Niukore have a 11 day stand down period after failing his HIA or is that just for category 1?

Even if there isn't he could be in doubt depending on how he pulls up.

Poo. Just take Metcalf off next time Webster. Wtf ....Tmm was there buddy.

Moala shouldn't get another game. Pomps was quiet.

Stop letting the ball bounce Rts & CNK(They were good tho. CNK is a machine)

Laban was incredible! Vaimauga aggressive!

Fish has been a non event for mine. He doesn't dent the line, Doesn't hit hard. He just has big muscles lol.

Shit house defense. Ginger fuck ref with some head scratching decisions.

We were inches away from scoring several tries. Game could of been different. But Ill discipline & lazy defense cost us the game.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Seems like a bad idea not to kick deep from the drop out with 1 minute left before halftime. Think that try before halftime hurt. Don’t think Capewell in any way changes the result but a few little effort areas lacking at times that he usually leads

I believe capes would of made the tackles that Moala missed. And wouldn't of dropped the balls Moala did..

Mind you, Capes can't score long distance tries like Moala did.

Just take Metcalf off next time Webster. Wtf ....Tmm was there buddy.

TMM was covering centre because of DWZ being gone. If we'd moved him into the halves, it would be even more of a shambles with Leka having to slide out.

You've got to be kidding me. Bloke has us sitting in the top 4, everyone in the team has been raving about his impact, the young bulls have been playing out of their skin since he turned up, and you're saying he's a flop? Fark me there's really no impressing some people!

 

[Wrighty]

CHT's penalty for attacking the kicker was poor discipline.

Capes is a knowledgeable old dog.

I have no doubt that he would have made a difference.

That last penalty against Ford. Did the ref blow the whistle?

Sure it was a knock on but with the NRL refs we have seen some weird decisions where those are let go. Coaches say play to the whistle.

He did kind of remind me of Jon Favreau character in the replacements. Did the coach tell Ford to get him the ball?

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

That last penalty against Ford. Did the ref blow the whistle?

Nope.

Didn't even call surrender, as far as I could see.

 

[Dannevegas]

MGT was terrible

How? He missed 1 tackle that led to a try. I’ve seen Pompey get burnt countless times, never seen him score a 60 metre try tho.
He also took more carries than Pompey.

Not saying he should be in the team, just don’t think he was terrible.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

TMM was covering centre because of DWZ being gone. If we'd moved him into the halves, it would be even more of a shambles with Leka having to slide out.

I don't believe so. Leka has played center several times. I fact, He started his career as a center. TMM has never played there. Metcalf couldn't and wouldn't make a tackle. I'd rather have players out of position at least putting in the effort.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Not saying he should be in the team, just don’t think he was terrible.

He was shit. Clueless out there.

 

[juju]

Flat flat flat

 

[janfin]

Very disappointing ..oh well bring on next week

 

[Noitall]

Flat flat flat

Not putting the loss down to it solely but I think Capewell is important to this team currently in leadership and performance

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

As a positive, 3/3 conversions...

 

[Mr Drag]

Flat flat flat

No leaders like Barnett and Capewell

The way I see it

We lose

No one is safe
Shoot first
Ask questions later

our backline just frustrates the crap out of me. There is no X factor. SJ come back for one last dance
