    I'm usually against bagging the ref, and admittedly it was only one call.

    But how Gee and the touchie missed the in goal call. The whole 13 were yelling and waving their arms for a challenge. Him letting them tap and then in the refs mic saying "It's too late to challenge".

    Momentum completely flipped with that call when we were in control. Then compounded with the Berry injury, with Marata and Capewell shuffle to that edge who started getting worked. Yes you have to be able to manage that, but the Cows aren't a shit team and are deadly when they get a bit of momentum especially in the current six again era and lack of wrestle..

    Absolutely stoked the boys managed to come together and make some adjustments on that edge to grind out a win. Would have been miffed if we lost because of that momentum swing.
     
    Fox sports loving SJ. Great hype and energy, emotions to match the roller coaster.

    And that game had all the thrills of a classic warriors game. Dominant first half followed by a dodgy call against the warriors when they got a 7 tackle set and then 3 tries in quick succession. A desperate tackle in the corner from the halfback and then 15 minutes of desperation. We looked gone for all money, but they just lifted when they needed. Halasima tackle on their 6 at the end - incredible.

    A game to build a season on. Feel sorry for Berry, next man up. Great debut from Healy and Marata s defence at the end outstanding. Erin Clark never stopped as did Barnett and CNK. These boys have heart and grit. In the trenches and over the top. Mana proud.
     
    30-26 with 15mins to go…. momentum 100% with the cows after 3 tries - two from fukey kicks….

    For the team to hold for 15mins after wave after wave of attack…… that second half frantic defence by the warriors was EPIC… no idea how we didn’t choke

    CNK losing the ball on the first and Leka dropping to give the cows a repeat set, Metcalf not making 10m from the in-goal…. Boys made it harder than it needed to be…

    Healey coming on as fresh legs was just what the doctor ordered. Dummy half runs to relieve pressure, critical tackles up the middle, that catch and kick which nearly scored us a try.. so many good moments in the last 15’mins…

    And Hats off to Metcalf for that corner try saver on Taulangi

    So many good movements to discuss knowing we WON 😂
     
    Adam Gee should be sacked for refusing our challenge on the 7 tackle restart. Guarantee it won’t get any mention. If I’m wrong and you can’t challenge, apologies, but your still a dick Adam Gee!

    Leka impressed me tonight, no flashy plays, just a grind and some great defence. Met, Egan, Clark and Niukore our best. Hopefully we get some troops back next week. Sam Healey, more than decent debut.
     
    No mention yet for Marata Niukore. I thought he had a great game in the middle and his best game for us in a long time. Took a few casualties along the way too.
    Fully agree with the other special mentions: Clarke, Kosi, Metcalf CHT etc

    But a fantastic team performance both halves, that could well be season defining.

    Is he a genuine #7? I dunno but him and CHT each playing a hybrid 6.5 role is looking very promising. It will be interesting to see how he goes when he has a #6 alongside him who is a run first style of player & even more responsibility falls upon his shoulders.
    What he is though is a winner! 29 starts in the halves in the NRL for 21 victories. His enthusiasm appears to be contagious

    I think it’s Clark that’s opening up space for him by going so deep into the line. Egan and Clark are setting are great platform for both halves. Think that’s when cowboys piled points on, was when Clark was off?

    man. erin clarke is amazing.
    buy of the season, no doubt!
    lukey met on a hot streak too.
    looking nice at 7!
    taine is a tricky one once the big wingers are back.

    also, just quietly,
    not missing JFH at all!
    can’t wait to see what he adds once he’s back.


    still keen to find out more about cooper cronks achingly wet mouth pre game too.
    💦💦💦


    roll on finals man.
    what a time to be alive.

    Haha Cronk was sweating like Prince Andrew for some reason. Shaun must have some major dirt on the whole Fox panel, they're turning it into the Shaun Johnson Show. No wonder he looks so happy, he's got a job for life if he keeps schtum.

    Kosi’s criticism isn’t warranted with his performances this year. That was great awareness to hold onto the ball with a steamrolling Hess wanting to take the middle out after a kickoff

    yeah, he is similar to Ford. Ford gets a lot of shit on this forum for making a couple of bad errors at bad times in the game and it has blackened his name. But he is really a battler who puts his heart/soul into the jersey. Same as Kosi. He had one bad game in 2022 against Melbourne and it's blackened his name forever on this forum. He's really put in this year and even in the 2023 year when he filled in for DWZ.

    I'm sure most in this forum thought Kosi would have been the issue on edge defense. Turns out the issue was TT (admittedly he was injured and was admirable out there).IMO, we would have gone on to win 13+ if it hadn't been for the Berry injury screwing up our edge. We just didn't do well enough in adjusting there but we'll learn from that.

    If TT and Berry are both out, I'm hoping DWZ and RTS are ready for next week. Fish back would also be mad.
