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

[CWC]

Cheap suspension means other teams will try to break our star players if we are a serious threat, if trainers can continue interrupting the momentum then a Cup player can be used when the result is set by a team we might meet again in playoffs

 

[Rick O’Shay]

That trainer run on was bizarre. Only just seen it but FFS there should be some serious penalty for that type of behaviour.
The ref could have at minimum given the tits another shot after the first one missed

 

[Naynay]

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?

Do have to remember he is still 19 he could be playing jersey flegg really. we should lower expectations on him being perfect all the time. These will come with time and by learning from this.

Sounds like a second trainer has been seen to break rules too by being on the field longer than allowed when they set up for their dropped goal. The one you’re talking about though was absolutely shocking

Does he have scope to penalise the Panthers on field and give a kick in front?

That would have sent a message, I agree

What i dislike is that they slap on these fines and suspensions but that doesn't give the 2 points back.

If the NRL actually gave 2 shits they'd do the right thing and strip the points from Penrith or at the very least award 1 point to both teams.

Trainers on the park in general are taking the piss.

Once they've seen to the players they should have to fck off.....the way they hang out the back coaching pisses me off.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Actually, hes a panthers employee on the field. Should have definitely penalised them for unsportsmanlike conduct.

The thing is, a streaker (in any code) gets a life sentence but a trainer or water boy seems to have an invisible presence.
I hope this incident means some change to the rules to what has become a blight on the game.

Cooper Cronk agrees too

 

[CWC]

Panthers trainers clearly did it to piss off the other team to disrupt the momentum/mood. Should have been stripped of 2 points since apparently it's their 6th offence since 2021. I remember the one vs Eels where they were on a roll in the redzone with minutes left in the game and Panthers trainers just ran on and stopped the game, won the game basically, awful

IMO if play stops due to HIA or injury to defensive players the attacking team should get a 6-again or something, sick of watching teams build up momentum then it's destroyed in 1 second

i was yelling to myself at the time, get the fuck up.... Cronks absolutely right, unless you got a broken leg get your sorry arse up and try and stop the play

 

[VB89]

He looks to deliberately keep out of the play, almost like he thought he was offside. Or injured. Weird. H

RTS was good example earlier in the season of the desperation needed

So what about the rest of the team who were on their feet and just decided to watch the Dolphins shift the ball from one side of the field to the other...then back again. Why no one wanted to shut down the play was just as weird as Leka staying on the ground.

In fact watch that last shift again and then watch the "urgency" from Te Maire to cover when that left edge got caught short......at no time breaks out of 2nd gear....for some reason that last couple of minutes the defence got the yips......and that was the losing of the game.....we had it won up to then.

Webster: We have to improve if we want to go anywhere

Andrew Webster on reviewing loss to Dolphins, injuries and the need to show improvement.

Webster talks about it in here that was one of their takes out of the game with players going to the corners and not staying in a line defensively

dude you think I wasnt yelling at the tele telling the boys to tackle the bastards.... as play went pass Leka on that edge back to the other for the try, I was so desperate I was hoping Leka to at least stick out his leg, arm or whatever to disrupt that play... wernt you saying/thinking to yourself at that moment, get the fuck up, do something?

Nah I was screaming at the guys on their feet for someone to shut down the ball carrier...I thought Leka had hurt himself, looking at the replays tho seems like more worried about being offside or something...dunno....fckn weird ....point is tho I think defence as a whole just sort of choked the last few plays.

People going on about our halves/ websters game plan/ x,y, or z player.....bullshit...we had that game one....just dropped our kahunas at the end.

Mentioned it before but it was the first time I’ve thought we’ve created room for DWZ to score in the corner in ages. He’s been getting bundled into touch and it’s looked clunky right through the season. I thought a big part of opening it up and creating room was Tuaupiki chiming in, much like CNK did in 2023. For whatever reason it hasn’t been there, I like Tuaupiki at fullback and what he’s doing
