My heart can't take this. I don't know how we did it. We seemed to try everything to lose.
Does DWZ retain his spot? I don't know. He probably will but he seems to be a massive liability.

CNK 17 runs for 203m in 40 mins!
I'm on a cruise ship heading to New York, it's after 10pm and the game starts at midnight, the drinks have been flowing.
I feel this is where we put the rest of the comp on notice....
Let's fucking go!

Great post off the knights forum yesterday. Our players and those coming through are starting to get some attention
With Fish/Barnett/Capewell there as experienced rep-standard forward mentors and Webster generally doing a good job building the Warriors I reckon we'll see Halasima get closer to his potential than what we've seen from Fifita so far, which is exciting and terrifying as an opposition fan.
Add in Vaimauga, Laban and the production line that will follow from their domination of junior pathways comps since re-entering post-covid, the Warriors have the potential to become the next Penrith if managed correctly
IMO, Halasima is the most gifted backrower the league has seen since David Fifita.

Ponga would singlehandedly change our attack, an area where we are currently struggling.
Haas would give us even more go forward and dominance up the middle, something we are currently one of the better teams at in the NRL.
Either would be one of the best signings in the Warriors history, but I'd prefer Ponga. Especially if he turns his back on State of Origin, that's at least 3 more games we'd have him each year over Haas
My totally uneducated guess about TMM's situation is that during his health scare he may have been able to put life into perspective a bit more in terms of the balance he needs to live a good life.
Enjoying his hunting/fishing etc. whilst also enjoying the day job at the Warriors. He will be up against other players who are living and breathing footy, and I'd imagine Webster might be the kind of coach that would prefer that mentality and focus.
It sounds like TMM has got a great life, and hopefully there is a way for him to continue to enjoy it the way it is without financial motivations being the be all and end all.

Goes alright for not being there for his attacking:Exactly
He ain’t there for his attacking nor variance
11 games
11 try contributions (3 tries, 8 try assists)
2 line breaks, 6 line break assists
11 tackle breaks
Glad that someone finally called Gus out on his hypocrisies. His emotional response is clearly a tactic to distract us from the real issue which is the insane conflict of interest he has exploited for far too long. If you are paid 1M plus on channel nine, you really shouldn't be using that position to market your club to a player like he has with Galvin. But beyond Gus, there are way too many opportunities for conflicts of interests in NRL media. Whether it is Braith Anasta holding NRL 360 whilst being a player manager or Gorden Tallis sitting on NRL 360 whilst his wife is a Titans board member. It really shouldn't be hard to enforce complete neutrality (ie no direct ties to clubs/players if you are in a media position). The lack of professionalism in this part of the game has to be cleaned up.
CNK lives rent free in too many heads. Webby isn't moving him from FB and nor should he. His work rate is unreal and is often the one taking carries through the middle when the boys are buggered, particularly in the second halves of the cows, dragons and dolphins games.
Cause he's been our best centre this year?
First time this year we have fielded our full strength team. How good!
Boyd takes his player option for 2026 and remains with Warriors
Tanah Boyd makes big call on NRL future amid Cowboys interest
He has been linked with a move away from New Zealand.

Tanah Boyd taking up his option for next year and sticking around. Think the club would have been honest with him and he could still be in their plans? He may be depth but if he gets an opportunity, he might grab it with both hands. Think now if TMM is to be extended, it’s as a 14 going forward. Still a possibility, we signed Walker as a bench utility who can fill multiple positions and TMM has that in his arsenal. If he got a preseason to become accustomed to lock off the bench, I’d back him with him a strong defender. That’s possibly where Gannon fits in though?
Apparently, Mahoney approached the Dogs and asked to leave when he found out they were serious about getting Galvin in ASAP.
Take it with a grain of salt, but the rumour doing the rounds is that there’s a number of Bulldogs players upset with how this has all gone down because they feel Sexton has been screwed over/led on by Ciraldo/Gus
Off sharks forum. Will make my day if true

There were times when Luke gave a spray to Leka and Ali for just staying back, not running any lines and just expecting him to to run it up without any support. I liked seeing that. Always need options.
On Ali, did he play with a dislocated finger during the early stages of the game? Surely looked like it on tv.
The game taught the youngsters a lesson that they need to be alert at all times. Hero individual plays will come where they will get to shine, but they also need to able to be part of the team first mentality where everything has to be on point to get the win in the first place.
On Demitric i think he was too eager when he first came on. As soon as he came on he made what seemed like 4 or so tackles in a row.
Get rid of him. Should have made 300 metres.
seems like a bit of an overreaction to a tough loss in trying conditions to a fellow top 4 side in Canberra. All the travel finally got to us and we played a bit flat tonight. Yet we still almost won that game. It happens- look at what happened to the Sharks this week who have been travelling as much as we have in the last month. I'd back the same team with JFH and Barney to get the job done against the bunnies. If we maintain the effort/intensity with better execution, we should get the bunnies and get back on track.
Why do people feel they need to shake the team up after gong on a 5 run streak and finally losing a close game against a good team missing 2 of our best players?
The Raiders defense was ON. Their wingers seem to jam in perfectly (Something we could learn) and shut down a couple of wide plays that could have gone in against a lesser team. They also had tabs on Metcalf not letting him get a sniff of any gaps.
I think we just chalk this up as a nice loss and move on to next week. No drastic lineup changes needed.
