Believe just believe .👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻❤️

 

[Mr Dragon]

Well played Addin Fonua-Blake and lodge. Led from the front with power.

Lodge redeemed himself and he had too!

 

[Aman]

there’s almost no point to Kodi being In The team. He is the most useless player I’ve ever seen in my life. If we didn’t need injury cover he wouldn’t be here

 

[kos]

Very good use of the bench by the Coach.
Kosi good 2022 start although his play the balls sometimes are scary.
Good performance all round and special mention to all the Auckland born players.
League is a confidence game.
We have it now.

Defense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sballer7]

Id give that a B bordering on a B+. Just missing that crucial composure that will be needed against the top teams. That will come. Shaun Johnson is underdone but does the basics well. Our forwards are absolutely dominant and that front foot ball will be crucial in the next few weeks. Where has that defensive structure been? Seriously was so much better than what weve seen so far. Shaun Johnson stiffens that right edge up considerably and allows the others to slide. All in all any win without arguably our best player on the field is worth celebrating. 🥳

6th on the ladder (with games still to play) and a positive points differential for the first time in years!

Did he come on did he?

Lodge and Addin Fonua-Blake doing much better when they put away the offload and just run it hard. Still shades of the Shaun Johnson kick it and hope of old though. Hopefully more games with a settled spine will pay dividends.

Good to see a cooked ref work out for us for a change.

 

[snake77]

That was a lot better. The first half especially.

The first half is the level we need to be.

Need to work on our second halves. Got away with it due to the quality of the opposition.

Can’t rank Kosi or Shaun Johnson in the rate the players…

Both played well and were big inclusions

 

[jonesy101]

Counting our one game played there last year, that's now two wins from two at Redcliffe stadium. Hopefully we continue to play well there.

lets end the season right now. NRL owes us something.

 

[JBmurc]

Good win ..we still have much to work on esp on attack throwing away the ball with tackles to go ,,if we can lift higher and take that confident play into the COWs I think we could tip them up ...Are two big bopper on fire exact what halves needed ...

Shaun Johnson such a difference the whole team seem to gel so much better .. CNiko bench support at best ...

Bring on the COWs

 

[Toookey]

Shaun Johnson controlled the game well
Walsh was dangerous and added spark pretty much at all times
Addin Fonua-Blake and Lodge just smashed out the meters
Jazz held the D together well - I thought we looked best when he was on the field
The rest of the players did their jobs well, nothing flash, but played well and not many errors or penalties.

 

[Afakasi247]

First half - we looked great.

Second half - lost a bit of intensity, but grinded out a win and didn’t allow a point against us.

Forwards laid a great platform in the first stanza. Lost a bit of omph when Egan and Jazz left the field.

Niko and Katoa didn’t give much. Ben Murdoch-Masila was great, as was Bunty in limited minutes.

Arthars - would love if we could find a way to keep him. Pompey might be better suited at centre. Kosi/anyone who fills the wing role is a placeholder until Dallin Watene-Zelezniak is back anyway.

Shaun Johnson - controlled well. Had some erratic decisions in the 2nd half. But kept a level head and steered us in a win.

Walsh tries hard. A bit raw, or exhuberant, but a lot still to learn. Can see why Browns always harping about keeping him check. Especially when the Aussie media releasing articles every hour about how he’s gonna leave the warriors.

On the Aussie media - how about them fucken Fox Sport commentators tho.

I am (as I’m sure we all are) so sick and tired of listening to them.

Week in, week out they never speak about us with any sense of positivity - I agree that when we play crap, sure, but when we score, do anything positive they sound fucken dejected.

Whether it’s blocker or Flanno scoffing at anything we do, or Vossy and Warren Smith crying conspiracy every time a call goes our way, it’s fucken tiresome.

Im not calling for a team to be kiss arse but is could we have some objectivity, some fairness in the call.

Not the weekly bias - every week the commentators are literally cheering for whoever is up against us.

Fuck them.

But - good win. 2 in a row. Reduces the errors. A performance to build on.

 

[TheSultan]

Good win lads. Like someone said earlier…this is a good platform to now build from. We’re nowhere near the finished product but theres a decent footy team here IF we use this game as the new benchmark.

- Great fame from Montoya. This is why he is a better player than Ken. Can we settle that debate now?
- Addin Fonua-Blake & Lodge were huge! Put away the offloads and just ate up those metres. This is all we need from these fellas going forward.
- Good games from Kosi, Pompey and Arthurs. Out performed Staggs, Farmworth & Cobo.
- Shaun Johnson had some great touches and directed the team well. Enjoyed seeing him signal to the lads to settle it down in those last 10 minutes
- Jazz needs special mention. Looks to have really pulled finger on his mistakes. Great scrambling D.

How good is Shane Flannagan as a commentator. So insightful and in another stratosphere to the meat axe Blocker. Can we keep getting him do our games?!!!

 

[Swanny]

I think the main issue is not having any attack coming from our second rowers. We can definitely make ground through the middle, but not poke our nose through on the edge

 

[Miket12]

Yes, I know our two wins have been against teams at the bottom of the table and there’s still a heap of games to go this weekend but that win puts the Warriors into sixth place for now.
