Name your Man of the Match, discuss the coach, captain, starting team, bench, opposition, game tactics, substitutions, errors (or lack thereof), penalties (or lack thereof) highs, lows, refs etc.

Dont forget to rate the players...

 

[Once A Warrior]

Positives...... Ed Kosi.

I don't wanna vote f-------
Like we failed, but better than expected,

Some good bits, some terrible bits.
Tried some creative shit that didn't work, but you don; try you don't succeed.

Please don't leave us Egan!!!!!!

 

[rugged]

Thought we carried the ball well off our own line.

We tried to go wide several times when it wasn't on (intercept, Walsh hitting curran, Kosi bundled out etc) If we don't have the shape the playmakers neeed to die with it.,

 

[Evil_Mush]

Even though the loss was disappointing, the fact we actually made an effort to reduce the deficit at the end with a quickfire couple of tries of our own (and get into double digits in the process) made it less deflating I guess.

I've never seen a team that'll flick from playing strong, confident footy to absolutely falling apart so quickly.

At half time we were right in the game, and as soon as the second half started it was nothing but knock ons and soft defence. Is it lack of leadership, fitness, skill, confidence?

Chanel Harris-Tavita was also invisible. For me he's either at fullback or not in the squad.

 

[tajhay]

Chanel Harris-Tavita is a better fullback than a half.

Too many unforced mistakes.
No leadership.

Atleast we retained our captains challenge so we can still top the leader board as the worst team at using it.

Hope Webster teaches the team basic rules, and asks the leadership and senior players to actually start being those players on the field.

 

[Motota]

Curran looks clunky running off Shaun Johnson, as soon as muchie went to right edge we looked a bit sharper

 

[Once A Warrior]

Can I be critical of Tohu Harris? Thought he had a few errors and was lazy in the Papalii try.

 

[Sup42]

Really a bitter sweet game.

Thrilled Kosi scored where Ken Maumalo wouldn't have...carried 2 defenders over the line, Ken couldn't beat one.

Exciting to see the new attacking shapes but sad to realise they prolly dissapear with Stacey.

Defence is far more up front and personal....again sad that prolly goes when the Aussie no name replaces all the work u can see tonight from Jones.

All you haters should snap put of it and realise it is a big deal Stacey stopped us getting a massive hiding vs a better team in the top four level.

Losing always sucks. But this is a big turn around from the losing streak a few weeks ago.
Think coming home the previous round and the week off has hoped.

The result still blew out in the end.

Agreed, there was zero quality ball going that way. What's the solution though? Curran to lock, Jazz to the bench and Murchie starting on the right?

 

[Defence]

Not a bad effort tbh- parra are a decent side.
Couple too many errors.

 

[Once A Warrior]

Curran looks clunky running off Shaun Johnson, as soon as muchie went to right edge we looked a bit sharper

I would put him on aitkins edge.

 

[gREVUS]

had to rate it an F. mainly because all the pain was self inflicted.

 

[JaggedJ]

Looked like a typical Warriors loss

Attack struggled, faltered in critical moments after doing the hard work, soft tries due to lack of effort or lazy lapses.

Yeah, dunno. Game was over with 20 to go, not really something to jump up and down about or get upset about either.

 

[Tim burgess]

Good effort from the team. Execution at key moments cost them dearly. Nice to see Kosi putting in a solid game.

Stacey has openly said he doesn't want the job?

 

[Vancent]

I still think we’re afraid of winning. The minute we’re in with a chance we fold like napkins.

Reece needs to go now, his errors, inability to score even when over the line and senseless kicks on the second just to make us tackle again are killing us.

I think he’s already moved on and I think we should too.

Won in the only game without him, let’s try that again.

 

[the borg]

Badly need a good attacking coach ... too many wasted predictable plays near their goal line. Shaun Johnson looks confused, the attack game plan doesnt suit him... Overall POS' rosters good need the right coaches.. this season has been about coaching crap.. Eels aint really a good team, just jammed their way through the season..
Best thing that came out of this game was the attitude we have.. need to be coached right...
