Post Match Warriors v Eels - [Round 22, 2024]

[Wrighty]

Part of me is very sad though. How amazing would have been to see RTS and Shaun lift the trophy!!!

 

[John Nick]

If it happens under Webster it will be in the 2020s

Which it will

So if we can keep you eating your porridge every morning until 2029 your eyes will live to see the promised land.

Fuck the porridge .Bacon and eggs for me.
Hope you are doing well mate

RTS already has one. Would have been nice for Shaun but Mannering and Jones really deserved one but Warriors will be Warriors.

Why.
They are contributing to the fact we havnt

Where is that lippy broncos wank stain that was in here giving us all grief last night… how’s your team doing pal?

 

[afakasi247]

I am impressed with all us fans for seeing the big picture and writing this season off as a learning experience and investment in Webster. If Webster was like Nathan Brown and had ten years experience behind him then we would not be being so patient. But this is perfectly obvious - he is a highly talented and gifted coach but he is new and learning on the job.
He is going to get us a premiership mark my words.

These are the type of posts we need more of. Instead of squabbling over every little thing that’s wrong atm, taking a step back and looking at it from a wider perspective.

Well in that spirit in any normal universe we would probably have 4 extra points right now and be in the playoff hunt and had much more confidence going into last night - eg the Dogs no penalty call and yet the player got suspended for three weeks.

Is what it is, mate. We dropped plenty of games we could have iced.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda.

2025, we go again.

 

[Tragic]

I feel better today, getting over being butthurt and not crying about not renewing my seats next year.
Seeing broncos and storm loose was like soothing balm.
Still hurts a little bit though.

Yeah that's true but in the form we are in it wouldn't matter. We are really in a hole. Probably the worst performing team we have had for the quality of players on paper.
Although i am seeing that through rose tinted glasses and they are all just past it.

This is the sort of positive posts we need here!
Imagine if it was flipped around and this season was last season we wouldn't want anything of Webster be calling for his head.
But last year everything just clicked we won more and didn't lose as many games The Broncos have fallen off a cliff too especially against those niggly Titans. We have to let Webby build the pathways and his own team.

The on field bickering is a real concern.

Has happened a lot this year and usually points to disharmony in the group etc. Lots of debate this year about what might be causing it.

It's a real issue though. If the environment is negative then the crappy results will rinse and repeat

Who is doing the bickering?

Multiple reports from people at the game about players at eachother.

Not the first time this year it's been mentioned

2012 Warriors were the same except in 2011 they went further than our 2023 side.

Just had a quick read back through the thread.

RTS and SJ?

AFB? Barney?

Has AW lost the senior players?

AFB and SJ too apparently

 

[slime]

Why am I not surprised that we managed to lose to a team paying $4+ to win?
SJ should have come back this weekend via NSW Cup with Metcalfe.
I don't want to be hard on the guy, but the stats are getting out of hand.

• 8 game losing streak - hasn't won since early April (Round 5)

At least we can move on to 2025 early.

I guess my argument or not an argument as that sounds confrontational. My point is that had we won the dogs match and raiders matches we would have had more self belief and confidence and more momentum going into the Eels match and we would have smoked them. A lot of how you play on the night is based on how your whole season is going. And to a lesser extent how your last few seasons have gone.
