Or else short to Tohu and out the back to TMM through him
Post Match Warriors v Titans - [Round 8, 2024]
- Thread starter mt.wellington
- Start date
Watching the replay still.. From the 20th-30th minute we completely go off the boil. Zero shape, zero attack, just some nice individual runs and a nothing kick...
Love the still frame. RTS and Montoya aren't even in the shot or in position to do anything. AFB made the right decision not passing to Tohu or to TMM. TMM is there ready if you play on a frame or two, possibly a little deeper than he needs to be but in a similar position the set or two before where he gets the ball from Tohu and threatens.
Fair criticism but we finish that set pinning them in their 10 and they only make it to their 20 before brain snap decision making by our rocks and rocks winger allows them to score a long range try.
Pretty sure the Panthers game is in Brisbane during magic round.

If he was closer up to the line ABF would have the option to pass behind Tohu directly to TMM.
More options the better.
RTS and Montoya must be extremely deep not to even be in the picture. Is this deliberate?

I get that defense is an issue, but we simply cant massacre an opponent because we cant apply real pressure. Ie constantly attacking their try line.
The Panthers lost to last years wooden spooners the Tigers and won the premiership.
We lost to the Titans who are in the box seat to win the spoon and we will win the 2024 premiership.
You heard it here first

Look, I agree with you to a degree. Certainly room for improvement. But you can't concede to a team attacking from their own 20m zone when you are up 12-0. They should have been tackled on the 5th in their 30m and kicking under pressure with us receiving in great field position and turning the screws. Similarly the second half we didn't get a result from an attacking set and DWZ pushes a non existent offload on the kick return. Titans score from there. Some mentally weak players and some really poor defence. Soft tries let them back in the game instead of us breaking them and kicking on. Fifita carries four warriors and scores. Laban with a rookie error you can forgive.
If you are defending well, your attack generally feeds off that in the NRL. Our defence hasn't been up to the standard from last year and our attack feels very one dimensional.
The unearned arrogance of our team.
We win a few games and we walk around like world beaters.
Wahs and Tits the only two aside from the Fins to not win a ring
No desperation, no point to prove, no mana for Anzac Day
It's a mental thing with us not a player thing.
We got the boys to win.
Unearned arrogance.

Agree our defence has been the major part of our losses
I haven't read the whole thread (I need to tune out after a disappointing loss). But my 2 cents
We have no plans b - plan a is kick to the corners and pin them and wait for a mistake. These last two weeks the drags/tits were playing with a unbelievable completion rate. Plus our I'll discipline just let's them off the hook. And when they start winning the ruck, plan A doesn't work.

It’s the outside backs letting the team down in defense. That’s where points are leaking
While I enjoy CNK taking 100 hit ups a game and making thousands of metres - it’s means he buggered on the defensive end and no where to be seen
The Berry & DWZ combo are getting bullied on the outside every week…

Anyone got a link to the players stats for the game?

Could implement having the centre on opposite side ready to go for the grubber chases while SJ bombs or pretends to bomb to the other side
I am starting to worry that Webby is not responding as he should to these losses.
I understand we are very low on troops and therefore options, but I would have expected some changes to the game plan after the last 3 games.
I will admit that the game plan does work with our best 17 on the park, but we are a far cry from that now and I don't think we have the cattle to play like this at present. Notice how none of the other teams are using or copying this game model?
I am concerned with the parallels between this and the coaching of Steven Kearney who never dropped out of form players and insisted on sticking with "the process" regardless of outcomes.
The fact that Webster rigidly sticks to his "process", and refuses to change mid game is what has allowed the opposition coaches to do their homework and outplay our team. We are made vulnerable by our very predictability.

I think Ale is doing Bunty's job well in the middle, same number of tackles and limited hit ups, but averaging about 10m per run, better than Bunty, our issues are really penalties followed by centre/winger brain snap individual defense, nothing your pack can do, shows the other team was clinical when given a free pass.
TBH I was thinking this is a good Titans team playing on par with Raiders and Manly, obviously losing sucks but they are not playing like a wooden spoon team right now, sky didn't fall, just need to fix individual issues or change of personnel, the attack looked good with variations, they might need therapy for mental issues at the clutch though, downgrade from last year
