Post Match Warriors v Dolphins - [Round 22, 2025]

🤖 AI Summary

📝 Summary:

The thread analyses the Warriors' narrow 18-20 loss to the Dolphins, emphasizing frustration over defensive lapses in the final minutes despite a depleted squad. Key themes include divided opinions on player efforts—Roger Tuivasa-Sheck #73 received widespread praise for dominant carries while critical penalties by Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and questionable inaction from Leka Halasima #395 drew ire for contributing to the collapse. A balanced perspective #164 highlights the team's resilience given injuries to stars like Barnett and Metcalf, but ultimately criticizes late-game decision-making under pressure. User analysis #321 identifies systemic defensive failures during the Dolphins' match-winning play. Laban's season-ending injury from Kaufusi's tackle sparked outrage over the NRL's lenient suspension #385. Coach Andrew Webster faced scrutiny for conservative tactics—notably opting not to take penalty shots to extend the lead—though some defended the strategy given personnel limitations #397.

I think the team thinking was keep a line at all costs and make them come to us. We have 13 vs 12.

And don’t give away a penalty as that’s golden point. Play no risk.

Shit happens. It’s worked all season holding them out at the end. It’s just a numbers game where one day it won’t work. Good learnings, especially for a young (NSW cup) team.
 
I was listening to Bloke in the Bar and the Beak raised a good point that I was thinking about as the play was close to where I sit at MSS.

Why did Leka remain passsed out on the ground? If it was cramp he should have still got up and at least stood in the defence line or roll over to try and take out a player as the play almost went over him.

I'm sure the likes of Barnett and JFH would have told him to get up !!!!

AM I TO HARD OR JUST OLD SCHOOL?

I dont think you're being too hard. I just hope it's a learning experience for him and doesn't turn into a habit.
