Post Match [Round 9, 2022] - Sharks vs Warriors Post Match Discussion

[Afakasi247]

Game will end 60/40 possession to the Sharks.

Warriors making over 100 more tackles than Cronulla.

The period after we scored our 2nd try - where Katoa knocked the ball on..that decided the game.

The Sharks had 7 straight sets - that period of defence broke this team.

Sure, we can blame the reffing. We can say they evened the ledger due to the red card.

But nah. We are a mentally weak team.

As soon as the stacks are against us, we crumble.

Unlike the sharks - down to 12 men, 11 men… they go to another level of belief.

They back themselves - they play smart footy - they offload, throw the ball around, move the ball left to right…

They try to stretch us, tire us, then break down our middle.

As soon as they did that…they showed our team that no matter what goes against them THEY believe…they KNOW they can still win…

That broke our brittle belief system within our team. We lost all confidence… we fed into their propaganda.

We then proceed to play one out footy. We don’t chance our arm when we should, and make stupid decisions when there’s nothing on.

Once we started to self-implode…the Sharks knew they had won the fight.

And it will go down in the record books that the sharks played 60 minutes with 12 men…10 minutes with 11 men…and STILL won by 19 points.

This is the worst loss in Warriors history. A unforgivable loss…one that will scare away causal fans - and cause some of the staunchest to look into the mirror and question their decision to spend their time and hard earned money supporting this team.

And going back to the Katoa knock on…that will always be the problem this team, this club will face for all of eternity…

The inability to grow their own NRL level talent.

Without that, we will always be this.

The game has evolved and left us behind.

This is all we will ever be folks…

Shaun Johnson was once a shining hope… today he showed the same incompetence that Katoa showed.

I’m so so sorry to all Warriors fans. This is the darkest night in this clubs wretched history.

I don’t know how many of us will be back…this is like an addiction we cannot kick…

They even broke kiwiborn91 …this team man.

Fuck them.

Hynes is an incredible player. Most embarrassing loss I can think of in club history. Flush it and hopefully kill it at Magic Round with Montoya back.

 

[drunk_monk]

I only have 2 tats and 1 is the Warriors. I love these club.

But fuck me this is starting to hurt my soul man.

So many coaches. So many superstars. So many loses man.

 

[Bluecat again]

I can't do this anymore. After nearly 3 decades and all the failures and embarrassing debacle I have followed and supported this team. But I really feel inside that that's enough
It isn't going to get better
It's over

 

[pompower]

Not gonna bother being reasonable or going into depth. Massive props to the Sharks who put in an immensely gutsy and tactically perfect performance, and deserved the win.

• Johnson has been a credit to the side and a difference maker since he’s been back. He was absolutely diabolical today and the biggest contributor to a woeful performance.
• Rocco Berry is currently not NRL standard in any facet of his game.
• Our middles didn’t do the work in defence and didn’t do any better in attack.
• Thought Aitken, Vailea, and Pompey mostly acquitted themselves well.

Embarrassing performance and a lot to think about for next week.

 

[Rizzah]

It's been a while since I've turned the team off.... that was some ugly shit.
Brown needs to have the team doing catch and pass drills all week as punishment.

Credit to the Sharks, they played out of their skins with 11 and 12 players.

 

[1995Warriorsfan]

No leadership, no where near a top 8 team, Shaun Johnson had another shocker.
I want to to sack someone, make it Justin Morgan first.

 

[Mr Frank White]

Can get the spoon for all I care. Sack the lot of them.
That game defined what we are about.

 

[DallyM]

all the sharks had to do was watch the warriors let Shaun Johnson take control over 12 men 😆and than do the same against 11 men😆....

 

[jmb_31]

Good that Monty and Adam are ripping the decision to take Lodge and Addin Fonua-Blake off at the same time. It's every week and we always get a massive drop off in quality. He needs to leave one on. That period they were both off fucked us.

 

[Boats n Hoes]

The Sharks deserve to be in the top 8 - our lot deserves the spoon

Tbh as gutsy as that win will be for the Sharks i dont think they even had to be that great or were that great to win.......thats how poor the Warriors were.

 

[pompower]

We as fans deserve an apology

Not a single fire emoji from you is how I know we’re fucked 😭

 

[DallyM]

and than do the same against 11 men

....Boooooorrrrrrriiiiiing

 

[Louim8]

Where do we start? Do we just leave them in aus and start a new team? That was disgusting

 

[Aman]

Boys ive been supporting this club for 15 years but today im calling it quits, not forever, just until they are dominant good again. If that never happens, than no worries ill spend time with my mates and actually do stuff.

 

[Makasene]

Murchie inexplicably decided against putting an unmarked Vaiela away at 16 - 10 against 11.

Knew then we were toast

 

[Bangbros 2023]

Just waiting for Shaun Johnson to bear the brunt of this loss despite the lot of them playing like trash

Take your beer glasses off though bro, he was fucken cake!!! Spine...... what spine?

 

[Beastmode]

Should I fire up the sack Nathan Brown thread ?

 

[Afakasi247]

We’ve had our moments but it’s sad to see a great contributor leave.

I don’t blame you though.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

I just still can't understand how there was so much space on our flanks. It is just not computing in my head.
