    Geez people carry on like Tuapiki is a rising superstar we need to squeeze into the line up- he’s a 24 year old fringe first grader- no farkin way they’re dropping rts for him after last night.
    Rts may be limited in his ball playing but what he’s good at, he’s really, really farking good at.
    When cnk is back to full fitness a decision will need to be made but till then rts has to wear the number 1- it’s a no brainer.
     
    For what it's worth, I enjoyed the game.
    We created loads of opportunities but couldn't ice them, I only started to get frustrated about 50 minutes in where we started to make unforced errors, lazy penalties and set restarts that brought the Tigers back in.

    I dunno, 2 centres who had 4 games between them, probably out worst winger, Roger at the back where he wouldn't have trained in the off season and our 3rd and 4th strong halves....is there any wonder why we struggle to convert our chances? We must have had one of, if not the worst injury tolls this year.

    Effort and heart have been there all year, we just haven't been able to execute

    I think the fairly obvious reason we aren't clicking at all this year is lack of consistency in selection. Most of it has been injury forced...can anyone remember the last time we were close to full strength?

    That doesn't help but for me we simply do not have an attacking structure in the red zone.

    Pretty much without fail our second or third receiver will be running at the corner post or worse when receiving the ball. We've run ourselves out of room all year.

    Our attack was broken down in the very first game of the season - "defend the lead runner, jam the sweeper" - that's it, that's the defense needed to shut us down - been happening all year.

    What have we done to combat that? Absolutely nothing. For fucks sake we weren't even grubbering for how many games in a row against rushing defenses. Rainbow pass to the winger? forget it.

    Never has an NRL team wasted so much field position and possession.

    We literally march down field every set. Most of the NRL would sell their soul to achieve what we achieve rolling down field.
     
    Just finished watching the replay. Game was a pass, but fuck me.

    RTS went off for a lifting tackle that didn't go beyond the horizontal because it could have become dangerous. Which the refs boss came out and said was the correct call

    Since then Wahs players have been tipped over the horizontal and tonight actually properly tipped over on to his head. No sin bins.

    Really exemplifies that the Wahs have to play by different rules to other teams.

    Yeah. How many times this year did we get back to back weeks with the same 7 backline ?

    The first 3 weeks this was the backline. As close to first choice we got, minus CNK, then week 4 we lost Taine. Week 5 we got CNK back but lost DWZ. Week 6 we got DWZ back but lost Metcalf. Kept that backline together till round 10 where we lost Montoya and had Kosi on the wing. Rd 11 we lost SJ, Berry and RTS, Taine and Ali and came in and CNK played 6. Rd 12 we lose CNK, Ali and Taine with DWZ playing fullback, Kosi onto the wing, MGT at centre and CHT to 6. Rd 14 CNK is back as is Berry. Rd 15 SJ back for CHT. Rd 16 we lose Berry and DWZ replaced by Kosi and RTS. Rd 17 we lose SJ again and DWZ comes back. Rd 18 we lose CNK, Montoya and DWZ in game against the dogs. Then last week we lose Taine and Pompey mid game.

    She's been a tough slog for the boys.

    Good to get 2 points.

    But it was a fairly disappointing performance by a team at home against the worst team in the comp.

    There is a huge difference in how we had bodies in motion and everyone playing with intent and speed last year to how it operates right now. Granted some makeshift players in there but its been like that much of the year. We need to have a rethink on how we play and adapt as season goes along. I really dislike our attack.
     
    I enjoyed that last try. It was a change to only scoring from within the opposition 20.

    Also liked it came off the back of the RTS break. They made the break and move the ball and scored off the next play.

    I was hoping DWZ would use his speed to get around the outide. MGT did well with the draw and pass.

    If I was Donald Trump my message would've read "The Warriors are a great team, very great team, but sometimes they do some very silly things, so silly, did you see they lost to the worst team in the NRL, have you heard this? 60 points - 60 POINTS, it's unheard of, no one has ever seen such a thing, so strange. But I love the Warriors, always have, huge fan, huuuuuge fan, but sometimes they do such silly things, so will they beat the last placed team this week? Let's hope they fight peacefully and patriotically, and make Ericsson Stadium great again!"


    I personally am hoping they win, but you can't blame someone for betting against them for what would appear to be an inferior team, especially this year of all years!
     
    From The Roar:

    Barnett a top bloke
    Mitch Barnett’s Origin debut was marvellous. It hasn’t been talked about enough. The interchange forward played 48 minutes and made 30 tackles for zero misses.
    Yet it was the technique and aggression that he tackled with. Away from his brutal carries and heavy contact with ball in hand, Barnett chopped the Maroons at the hips. He was playing Jake Trbojevic’s role while the skipper was on the bench.
    After big mid-week celebrations, he was back within 48-hours, making a return to the field. As a starting prop, he played 73 minutes. This statistic alone is remarkable. No front-rower in the competition plays those minutes, especially after an Origin hitout.

    Barnett charged for 159 metres and made 41 tackles. He also scored a stunning individual try that illustrated his tireless efforts and smart footy brain.
    The former Knight noticed a clear mismatch on the short side and stormed from right to left, smashing his way through Joseph Tapine.
    After all of that, it was his selflessness in the press conference that capped off a career-best week.
    “I didn’t even cross my mind (resting). Where we are at, I consider myself a leader of this club, that was the first thing I wanted to do, back up,” Barnett said.

    When is metcalf ready?

    Are we still getting Dylan Brown?

    Chanel is a serial choker probably don’t give him big responsibility or he will retire back to writing songs about his feelings of choking again. That’s 4 clutch comp points he couldn’t bring home

    Bit rough bro.
    He’s an all heart guy, great kid. Yes he stuffed up but we all do. At the end of the day, no matter how much we love the Wahs it’s only a game. He will be killing himself inside. Some kids could be damaged by too much harsh criticism, I think they should be able and learn to take some but we should also be a bit careful. Just my thoughts bro
