Field was very disappointing in that last try, he is our quickest player but basically gave up on the chase (he probably doesn’t stop it, but there was no effort, you never get up, Drown has stopped a few just with effort)

We took full advantage of the time they had 12 players on the field, which I'd hope for nothing less.

In reality we we're all over them and should've put them away earlier.

We've definitely let them back into it.

If we get beaten from here I can see us drifting away from the Top 4 contest. Not that I think there is alot of benefit for us finishing in the Top 4 besides playing 2 Finals.
Better to go out being beaten once rather than twice?

Fair dinkum. We definitely need half time. What the heck happened in those last 10 minutes? Ive never been more frustrated in a long time

If we lose today I wouldn’t be surprised if we lose all our remaining games.

Agreed. In fact at this point finishing 5th or 6th is the better option as we play at home and better chance of winning as i don't think we can beat anyone else who finishes top 4 at this stage.

I'm not apologising for the team but in the first warriors try, I felt there was a forward pass and the second try had another interpretation try by the ref.

Let's have faith. That's all we have.

To fair, those 2 warriors try’s were f**ken lucky. Generally there is always an error (but marker defence for RTS break was terrible)

The key is to just stick to what we are doing and complete our sets, run straight/hard and minimal errors. Plus energy in our line speed.

I think the biggest issue is that this a constant occurrence with this team, over a long period of time. It is standard for us to get to a good lead and then switch off for some unknown reason.

For me, the Warriors got the points in the first 40. They hung in there and threw some great footy at us. BA, the spotlight is on you....

I don't know why we wouldn't kick for goal there. We're the worse team from set situations in the comp.
