Post Match 2021 - Round 12 - Cowboys vs Warriors Post Match Discussion

[Bangbros 2023]

Just utterly fucken stupid that take the whole five tackles to make that shit kick! Even if they won that game it would of been so disappointing on so many levels, fucken absolutely garbage in that first half, Fanua Blake won't make a huge difference.

nathan brown, once again, your tactics leave me cold. why would you have Chanel Harris-Tavita kick for the sideline, with 6 points ahead, and only 10 mins left. why not take the easy 1 point to make it by 7

Pretty sure Nathan Brown isn't remote controlling Chanel Harris-Tavita from the coaches box.

Just low IQ play unfortunately.

 

[Rizzah]

Lots of dumb footie. Much better second half.
We really need Addin Fonua-Blake back and POS needs to find another quality prop.
Not a fan of Chanel Harris-Tavita punting for the sideline in the last 10mins.

Because he has CTE and he has forgotten they took out scrums this year.

 

[Bangbros 2023]

And now the stupid cu**s on the post match

 

[The Falcon]

Can someone please explain why you don’t set for a field from the scrum in front?

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Sack both the halves. They are not game managers at all.

7 minutes to go we had the perfect chance to set up for a field goal and go up by 7 points… didn’t even attempt it. Cowboys score to lock it up…

2 minutes to go we get the ball 20 metres out… and instead of setting up for an easy field goal to win the game, we go wide and wider… then fluff the easy kick back in front.

fucking hopeless.

 

[mt.wellington]

Truth is the Cowboys were the better team for most of that match. Bar some individual brilliance we just didn't respect the ball enough in the second half to give ourselves a chance.

Broken record time. Edge defence system blah blah blah...

Tevega is becoming a real liability and was arguably the difference with how many points they scored while he was off the field.

Its getting depressing seeing Katoa regress so badly this season from his breakout debut last season. Really hope he can get back to that level and soon.

Not too disappointed as this game was always going to be 50/50 IMO. We certainly had our chances.

Would have been nice to go into the bye round with a win. Especially as we face the Storm next...

 

[MarkW]

The (much) better field goal won it

 

[3rdstriker]

Yeah lots of bad points and plenty of good too, hard to blame it all on Chanel Harris-Tavita. If I was to blame anyone 1stly I'd blame jazz tevaga and his discipline what a fuckn liability he is. Who cares if he goes elsewhere. What does he need to prove by putting his fingers in every pie.

 

[Vancent]

That’s enough. Chanel Harris-Tavita is not a half. We will go nowhere whilst he is in the 6 or 7 - it’s not a mystery, it’s fucking obvious.

Jazz is an absolute fucking liability. He went close to costing us the last Cowboys game, and he cost us that one. Withdraw the offer - and send him to any other NRL Team - it’ll be a double benefit for us regardless.

Between a lock in the halves, and Cecchin, we were absolutely shafted in that game. And guess fucking what - that and the Manly 13-12 will be the difference yet fucking again this season.

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

The sin bin cost us, that and our ability to switch off for ten minutes or so. Loss snatched from the jaws of victory

 

[drunk_monk]

That sucked.

Chanel Harris-Tavita should have nailed the drop goal.

Annoying that at the end there the bunker went back to before he challenged call because I am sure other times they only check if the call was correct or not. It's fucking confusing and inconsistent.

Them scoring off the back of the captain's challenge where we clearly got taken in the air and didn't play at the ball but they got it back killed us.

Stupid reffing, stupid Jazz bin, annoying loss.

 

[pleatedpantspete]

We fucked our selves but


how can the bunker rule on an earlier play than what was being challenged???

cows challenged cliffords knock on - but the bunker rules on the play prior???

typical warriors though. Snatch defeat from jaws of victory.

also how is Roger Tuivasa-Sheck a knock on and yet the scott drinkwater one is a knock back

 

[Tragic]

Disappointing! We got no idea what to do to ice a game.

 

[bruce]

Can't believe I am saying this but I prefer Nikorima over Chanel Harris-Tavita. Chanel Harris-Tavita is a weak link.

He still gets through the tackles.

 

[ramps]

We will never win a premiership if we cant rely on anyone to have the balls to seal a open drop kick!! How many times have we lost because we cant close a game??
i feel jazz done well in second half and tried to make up for his stupidness but its what ultimately lost us the game. Chanel Harris-Tavita would actually make a decent 13. I just feel he just isnt quite the 7 we need. Kodi is even worse!
Montoya is waay better than prop wings. cant wait for Addin Fonua-Blake to come back! We need a pack leader! We were far too soft in the middle in the first half

Maybe that was an onfield decision

 

[jmb_31]

Kinda disgusted in that.

LAM, Evans and Bunty can do a job on the bench next year. Jamayne Tounua-Brown is a waste of a squad space atm, doesn't offer anything. We need another top prop or edge signing. I wouldn't be keeping Jazz next year.

Walsh is a half in my opinion, his defence and positioning ain't up to scratch for a fb. Chanel Harris-Tavita did his job, wouldn't be opposed to him being the 7 next season. *I actually saw Chanel Harris-Tavita kicking for touch as a positive, far better than how they've previously been going about games. It slows the game down and maintains field position, it's the kind of game management you want from him. Kodi should be 14. I would be looking for another fb.

Pompey is solid enough but he's not a threat, I wouldn't say his spot is a certainty next year.

 

[Bangbros 2023]

If there was any positive it was Ben Murdoch-Masila impact in the second half with the go forward, katoa will be dropped this week, Murchie is way better! Maybe katoa in the front row?
