Post Match NRL 2018 - Round 24 - Warriors vs Panthers Post Match Discussion

[rugged]

A win against the Raiders and we are a good chance of 6th and a home game.

Quite a few positives out of that game. Like the hard running from the forwards, defensively we weren't too bad as we were still getting numbers in the tackle towards the end.

Need a bit of a rocket on some of the attention to detail with some of the messy plays early on around the ruck. Things like not having a dummy half or the messy plays.

Overall we need to back this up next week and have this be the type of performance we see from now until the rest of the season.

Got the finals place locked up. Well earned.

Tohu Harris Harris looks fresh and just dangerous. I hope he stays injury free. I think Pulu will be a huge impact in the finals let’s hope!

 

[Whiteknight]

Full house for #manners300 next week, you rippa!

 

[Ever Hopeful]

The best part of where we are at at the moment is that we are heading into the playoffs with (touch wood), a full strength roster. We haven't really managed to do it this year, so it is very exciting. Our full strength team is top 4 easily, but we suffer from lack of depth when there are players missing.

As well as the obvious strengths of the top players, things like the luxury of having a newbie like Papali'i having a less demanding bench spot, or having a high impact forward as 17th player is priceless at finals time. Suddenly Tevaga becomes a luxury, Shaun Johnson has more space to run etc.

Good win boys.

The Flying Fusitua’ three tries have put him back on the top of the try scoring chart for the season ahead of Valentine Holmes.

Thank the baby lord jesus that we decided to turn up this week. Gonna buy my ticket tonight for the dirty South Stand next week, I reckon may be close to a sellout now that finals are confirmed.

Such a relief, those last two tries were a slight buzzkill but FINALS BABYYYY!!!!!!

Feeling a tad proud at the moment So take that Gus your tactics haven’t worked Woo Hoo Warriors

 

[gREVUS]

SO notable that the Panthers only scored when Harris was subbed off. I also noted that Luke finished the game on the sidelines.

Wasnt it great to watch the whole team fire up. But above and beyond that seeing this SKs purchases dig in and push is so great. This would have to be the most experienced finals team the warriors have ever fielded. And watching Blair and Harris do the one percenters is what is going to make the difference this year.

Also felt that they were overdoing the live ladder thing a bit. As the broncos havent played yet and could still trump us back into 8th.

Agnatius "Dummy" Paasi

My favourite

 

[gREVUS]

i was working it out the other day. All the players in the team that have played in a grand final.
Blair
Harris
Issac
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
Green (? as part of sharks)
Shaun Johnson
Mannering

7 players of which i think 5 have won a gong. I hope the young fellas learn everything they can about culture and composure under pressure from this group.

 

[Whiteknight]

Any injury worries?

 

[Pozza]

A big congrats to SK, the team, and support staff, and a big fuck you to Gus

 

[Miket12]

Anyone know the crowd number tonight?

 

[Fonzies Tram Line]

Any injury worries?

Dunno. Ken was favouring his shoulder, not sure if that was anything

 

[¿N. ig-mah¿]

I need to do this.

Shaun, that is in my opinion, your best game in maybe 5 years. Strong in defence, and tough in attack. Didnt avoid the contact, and didnt run sideways.

Anyone else feel a little embarrassed at the fact we were all writing our season off long before kick-off? Its a dreadful thing to be a seasoned Warriors fan. Too timid to have any optimism.

Anyone know what Kens injury is, and how long he played with it? I noticed when Roger Tuivasa-Sheck patted him on the shoulder after he knocked the Panthers pass down that he winced badly then held his shoulder. After the game you cud see him in the background setting his jersey up to support his arm. Hopefully it was just a stinger or something.

 

[¿N. ig-mah¿]

A dominant Johnson is a sight to see

Why thank you. I dont like to brag, but it does get some comments at the urinal

 

[Canadian_WarriorFan]

Any injury worries?

I think Ken had a bit of a crook shoulder, not sure of anything else. At least they were commenting about it on the radio.

 

[Tony Martin]

Ken was carrying his left arm in his jersey in one of the aftermatch interviews. I think it was when they were interviewing Tohu Harris

 

[janfin]

Anyone know the crowd number tonight?

Think it was about 19 thousand
