Post Match Wests Tigers v NZ Warriors - [Round 4, 2026]

[BangBro's (still banging)]

We're those tigers fans delusional or were we?

 

[BRING DA RUCKUS]

Thank the Tigers for giving us a reality check I literally just put my leave in for Grand final week

 

[Sir Arrow]

• Webby has made this mistake before - changed a winning team. Did we need to rush Metcalfe back in?
• Boyd was the only one playing with the same intensity as previous weeks.
• Metcalfe's kicks were far too deep. Not sure why he even had to be kicking. Just run.
• So many players off the pace this week.

Now we can follow the rest of the season with level heads.

Well done Tigers, take a bow Benji.

Still good times ahead!

 

[Matiunz]

That was bad, something just flipped about the 20th minute and we turned to shit. Credit to the Tigers once they got a bit of confidence they kicked on while as soon as we faced adversity we crumbled.
Some ways it’s a good reality check but that wasn’t an acceptable performance at all

 

[Canonball]

Well that was shit!

that was shit - ugh - beaten by a different style and being a bit cute with our positional shenanigans - also was there only the one 6 again called in the second half (right at the end) ?

 

[demco]

Metcalf and Pompy where Rubish

 

[WAH MAN]

We looked liked it was the first time we met each other. I’d like to see specific players on their last chance or dropped even. A couple of unacceptable performances.

We did that with Leiataua

 

[jumpman5xl]

Tigers got a style that will beat even the top teams if youre missing tackles. However you stop that, not that great.

 

[CWC]

Too many youtube interviews and contract negotiations mid week eh

 

[the WARs]

Disgusting display after a solid first 20.. The boys looked gassed couldn't tackled

WTF is LEKA doing in the TIGER post match circle ...did he have $$$$$ on the 13+ as he was MUD

Congratulations West Tigers and Benji Marshall. Happy for them and their fans, this is an epic win for them.

Pretty admirable to come over here with their Star player out and give us a hiding.

As for us. I am not worried one little bit.

Seen this before over and over again, when you have a lot of players moved around you can get these issues, especially our halves combo's the Warriors are very brittle there, change a player and it is like they have to go back to the drawing board.

Still, Metcalf and Boyd are great players, we just have to give them time to click.

Other things that went wrong were signs of having an off night, it is not like we suck as a team anymore, I refuse to believe that, and Our coach is still the same guy everyone was fawning over two hours ago.

 

[Lance155]

Metcalf ruined our attack and CNK killed our defence. Why change a winning team. Every other player was as good as usual.....

 

[Jaffa J]

Embarrassing team looked like they thought it’ll be easy and too many changes Lukey Met was underdone should of played some games in Cup first to get fitness back on to next week

 

[BrisbaneWarrior]

A good wake up before playing the Sharks next week

 

[LeagueJunkie]

Well done to Benji and the Tigers. They were up for it and played really well.

A reality check tonight for the boys. Really poor performance. Trust Webby to get shit straightened out for next week.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Not flash, but a clunky game was always coming, it always does in the NRL. We couldn't win ugly, we got done by their forward pack. Bad errors compounded it.

C'est la vie. Every team loses in this comp. It is a close one. Metcalf has a game under his belt. One step closer to hitting his straps.

It would be pretty good if the Tigers have a better season.

 

[enterthewarrior]

Why is it we always get by beaten by B or even C teams. We also got beaten by Broncos and Panthers minus their key players.

 

[sballer7]

Reality unfortunately. The refs weren't on our side tonight.

Certainly think we were beaten by the better side tonight regardless.

To your point though...the refs have way too much power over the flow of the game. It helped us in the first 3, tonight we copped some back and we did not adjust.

The team as a whole were flat and in general just pretty pathetic.

There isn't a coach around who would make their highest paid half play reserve grade first before coming back into first grade.

He was coming back in as soon as he was ready.
