    If we were under any illusion the yardage game of our back 3 isnt critical to the way we play, that game shouldve dispelled it.

    Rog, Dal and Charnze racked up 546 metres between them! Close to a thrid of all our metres run.
    Not just the metres but they usually win the contact as well getting good ruckspeed for the next hit up. Multiple hit ups in the same set means our middles dont have to work as hard and can conserve energy for defence and especially line speed which is huge to our grinding game of limiting opposition yards.

    However it does also highlight imo how our biggest strength can also be our downfall.

    Couldnt be a clearer blueprint for oppositions on how to shut us down - stop our back 3!

    Cant believe Titans didnt get the memo in this. Its what oppositions have been doing the last 6 weeks or so. Titans line speed on those early tackles were literally non existent.....failing to move up allowed Rog n co to get us back over halfway within 3 runs most of the time......allowed us time and again to execute our territory game that Webby loves.

    Its why while happy with the performance im not getting too carried away, 100 percent any top 8 team we play wont afford us the same luxury.
     
    We played well and put in a good performance. But to be fair, the Titans were poor and played like spooners with consistent errors and giving away penalties and 6 agains that killed their momentum and handed us field position and good ball.

    15 errors from the Titans and we enjoyed 54% possession. Quite a one sided game.

    You can only play to the opposition and we put our performance together well. It was a relief to have an opposition not playing their best game of the season for once with exceptional error free games and 90+% completion rates!

    As good as the young guys are we need to keep this all in mind. It’s a good result for a young team but we need to keep repeating this the next 2 weeks building into the finals.

    Best thing about this year regardless of how things end up.

    Leka, Demi, TSS, Laban, EIT, Healey...

    You wouldn't expect teams to be developing that many rookies in one season and still manage to be competing for top 4.

    Good signs for the future.

    Probably the most underrated aspect of our year. We took a punt in fielding one of the greenest rosters in the comp for this year. Yet despite losing basically half of it through the season, we are still in the box seat for the top 4.

    To take perspective, Parra are probably the only other team who took the same risk of moving on their dad's army and blooding their juniors. They are barely out of the wooden spoon race yet NRL pundits just can't get enough of Ryles. Yet not a peep about what Webby has done with our juniors.

    Voss and Brandy were absolutely insufferable the entire game. They were so desperate for the Titans to win, and were in complete denial that we're in the top 4.

    Suck it losers.

    Amazing how some people hear things so differently and seem to think everyone has it out for them. I can't remember once a game called by Vossy which he has been biased in any way for any team. If anything he has been a great proponent for the Warriors over the years. The fact someone can listen to that and think he wants the other team to win says more about the person that thinks that.

    If you take offense to a commentator calling out something as shit when a team is playing shit or makes bad plays - harden up - it happens to every team and I'd rather have honesty than someone blowing smoke up my ass.
     
    It was good seeing Ieremia-Toeava get some big minutes.

    He was doing the basics well. Making his tackles and doing his hit ups. Good confidence that he can play big minutes in the middle.

    The try was well deserved. He would have been tired playing his longest minutes in this grade and still did his job there supporting.
     
    Great on field reffing from the top dawg, whether right or wrong was prepared to play the game as he saw it. Made a huge difference of spending half an hour watching the bunker for once.

    I thought he was pretty fair, got some calls wrong, which the bunker did correct ( the try from the titans )

    Ash Klein would have sent that up a try all day every fucking day
     
    Roger MOTM - he is just so safe. Some good minutes for EIT and TSS we will need these guys to have minutes but very disappointed with the minutes of Leka. The right side attack is very poor since Boyd has come in there. Need more threat than Niukore running at players rather than into holes... Berry made Dallin look much better in defence however.
     
    What I would give to have 3 RTS' this year. 1 at fullback and the other 2 on the wing.

    Really hope Rocco is ok. He is a very good player and we need him for the finals. I think he is really underestimated on this forum due to his injuries but if he can string some games together it is going to be good for us.
