I don't mind losing close games. I hate reading other clubs fans calling us -once were's & never will be's - every year. Because , the last couple of games proves their points. We fucking suck at finals footy.

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.

Klein gave us some dodge calls as well. We got away with a few. But he made sure to even things up with interest to the flippers.Cruel end. The Dolphins didnt deserve that win, but were helped in the end by Klein and our inability to ice it with a man up and multiple sets down the other end.
Like most teams at this time of the year and every year it's about depth of your squad.Beta rugby league I'm afraid. Very timid in the last 10 mins. No one looked like they wanted to properly win the game, just trying to 'not lose'. Running the ball on the last twice in a row, awful. Especially when you know the Phins can attack from anywhere and Wahs defence is nowhere near good enough to contain them.
Deserved the loss.
6-8 finish now with a first round exit in the finals.
Carm down. Conservative is what was required and coached. We owned them for 35 minutes. Kenty talks about refs controlling the game not blowing penalty all the time. We play rugby like and respect the ref. Ozzie manipulate the ref, so these teams i think are even on that respect. Ref would have stopped for Melbourne and most other high profile teams.Beta rugby league I'm afraid. Very timid in the last 10 mins.
