08 :: R5 Sun :: Warriors 36 Bulldogs 16 @ Mt Smart

[Fast Eddie]

Fien and Henderson were both really good today. Rovellis kicking game was pretty good.

 

[NZ Warrior]

Great game by the Warriors. A very dominant display out there. I guess the Warriors made more of the opportunities they had.

They've got a very tough Queensland road trip up ahead. If they can win at least 1, they'll be doing good.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Really thought both teams's halves were pretty bad, although the shorter kicks from the Dogs was definitely than ours WTF was up with the up 'n'n under tactic?!?!

 

[McLovin]

Filthy dog whores for the spoon...

 

[Dr Crane]

With enough ball we'll sh*t this in. Simply a game of possession for mine - Warriors defence is crap and our aerial defence is hopeless.

Timmah, nostradamus.

 

[Maroon and White]

I have waited a long time to see the Dogs have their turn as the whipping boys of the NRL :lol:

 

[Rovelli]

Henderson and Fien were very good for us. Hendo started a little slow, but really came on late.

Hohaia is getting involved in the line, and been safe under the high-ball so far. Rejuvenated anyone?

Witt and Rovelli still struggling.

But, then again, a 20-point win.

 

[Dr Crane]

The second half was the best of the year, on our behalf. Tackle tackle tackle for the better part of 20 minutes, score against the run of play and go on with it.

 

[Ridders]

have to give it to the warriors, at half time i was pretty comfortable and thought that we'd be able to see the game out. Sonny was great in the first half, not as effective there after. Fien was awesome but as been said, Witt to me looked out of sync, muddled up some good chances.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Sorry Timmah, but your friends had plenty of chances early in the 2nd half to get points but you came up emtpy handed so take it on the chin

 

[Timmah]

When haven't I taken it on the chin?

F*ck me dead you should learn to think before you talk, instead of being such a sore winner. Your team was by far the better side and I don't see where I denied it.

 

[Blaze]

very even game. Warriors dominated the first and last 20 mins, while the Bulldogs were on top during the middle 40.

The difference was the unusually strong Warriors defence after half time where the Dogs had five or six shots at our goal line, and came up empty handed.

During that period the Dogs didn't use SBW enough. He is lethal in the attacking red zone, and was looking on song today.

The attack from 20 metres out should be a real concern for Dogs fans. Roberts and Holdsworth aren't asking enough questions of the opposition's defence imo. It has been a bit of a theme for them this season.

 

[Ridders]

i've being saying it for a while, our fifth tackle options are absolutely dreadful. I'd like to see our ration in terms of 5 tackles in the opposition 20 and tries coming from them cause i reckon we'd be lowest in the league. The main problem is Holdsworth, i don't know why but he seems absolutely lacking in creativity. At least Roberts provides some spark

 

[Timmah]

Holdsworth must go.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Yeah I think Roberts asked questions of our defensive line....Holdsworth wasn't up to much.

And yeah the Dogs should have used Sonny Bill more when they were inside our 10......

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

I thought the Dogs used Sonny too much for the most part. It's ok when he has some space to work with, but there's 12 other players who should be able to do something as well. Pass it to Sonny and hope isn't going to be enough and at times it seemed that was their plan when the halves couldn't spark anything.

The forwrds can hold their own in the tough stuff. Maybe Roberts to 7 and Reni at 6?? It might not be ideal, but hving a ball runner at five eight would give something extra for the defence to think about. Roberts tried hard but Holdsworth was non-existent.

Good work Warriors.

I love you and i love Scribe because you got me the tip.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Good work Warriors.

I love you and i love Scribe because you got me the tip.

:lol: weren't you the same dude that put up the 'useless' thread in the Warriors forum?

 

[Timmah]

I'm still waiting for where I haven't taken it on the chin brf... ;-)

Don't worry about it, she made the wrong call


She usually just adds a comment that is neither here nor there, unless she's upset then she has a mare :crazy:
