Post Match Storm v Warriors - [Round 6, 2025]

[Get them onside ref!]

I am not sure Taine Tuaupiki is a first-class first grade fullback. I am wondering if he is best as fullback cover. If he's the best full back we have that's a little concerning. I like him, love his heart, but he just lacks a little too much for me.

Agree to small
Try him at 6 or 7

Biggest let down was Capewell - some really rubbish passes and play from him. Looks like an old man out there.

Ford was another huge disappointment. Webby needs to make these senior blokes accountable. They let the team down.

And Nuikore. I liked Nuikore better when he was knocking out people lol.

Are you on the Metcalf train ? Do we wait till he comes right? He is 27 next year. He'll come good when he's 30? Lol....Jokes jokes people. Keep ya jocks on people!

Sooner or later
Cuddles Webster will have to drop some of these guys to reserve grade
Keep picking the same players
Get same result

Nah. Not on the train. I don’t even think it’s a train. More like a cheap bus

Best part of the game was watching these two and Bunty. I could not take my eyes off them every time they were on the screen. Man crush on full alert

Mate no good having these new young boppers busting it up
If no one backs them up!
Is that a coaching thing?

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Like the 3 fluke wins before this game?

Hmmm.....Worst thing that could of happened to us was winning those games. I thought we fluked them. If the opposition hang onto the ball we lose.

 

[Damo]

Hmmm

2 points is 2 points bro

 

[The Warrior Waka]

2 points is 2 points bro

Yes bro. I agree. Im still salty after this game lol

 

[UpTheWahs]

Anybody who thought we are even a remote chance against the Storm with CHT and Metcalf as halves lol

And Pompey & Tuaupiki on the wings. And Capewell & Nuikore in the backrow. And Ford off the bench.

 

[KPWarrior]

36-0 at half time, no point picking out individuals. Flush it, move on, bring on the Broncs!

Yeah thought Capes was well below his best. His play the balls in the first half were a total piss take. And in other effort areas he was lack lustre

 

[John Nick]

Too much catch and pass. Doesn't engage the line first unless he is running it for himself.
The telling parts for me are that Barney throwing a cut out pass, Clark putting in the grubber and TT with his looked better than our 7. But this is what we are going with and best we get used to the learn on the job aspect. Can't help but wonder how fast the learning will be. Not seeing the better kicking game, the organisation or the willingness to take the game on like we have been sold on.

So please let us all know who AW should have played at 6 and 7.
Would it have been different against a very good Storm team
What a difference a week makes

The Storm were running a train on Metcalf in that first half

Oh gawd! Just pretend it's a bye. And we won't watch this weekend.

I know no one is getting dropped after this loss. This will be a flush and move on.

How so? There was the one try on him when he was one on one with there prop. But that's an error on Ford not trusting the markers on grant.

I understand everyone dog piling him. But interesting to see how he was the cause of our defense being awful.

 

[Viking]

Was Metcalf a fullback at the Sharks? In a team with fk all speed, our fastest player is in a role where he passes to players that are slower than him. That run down on Leo was a highlight…,,then the Storm scored a few plays later.
