'16 | R9 | Sun | WAR 26-10 SGI | Mt Smart

[This Year?]

Warriors deserve the lead at half time. This is a game Shaun Johnson needs to take control of. The Dragons defence is very compressed and with a bit of slick ball movement, there is plenty of space out wide to take advantage of.

 

[St Tangles]

No, they really havent. There was one bad call.

Correct but that one bad call resulted in a 12 point turnaround.

 

[Meth]

Packer the best on the field so far

 

[Dr Crane]

Then don't cry if the same happens to the Warriors.

Trust me, I don't.

 

[Warriorsoul]

Dragons are losing to a reserve grade squad. Surely tgey swapped jerseys or something

Not sure its any consolation but you're heaps better than our normal first grade side...

 

[WithTheDawn]

Dragons keeping to their normal trend of scoring 20 or less so far. Warriors have looked pretty good so far, next try scorer will be a big deal.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

The Warriors taking advantage of it and good luck to them, not their fault.

I don't think the Warriors are milking it. They are making an attempt. They're just receiving from the bunker.

Dragons hard done by.

 

[thommo4pm]

Correct but that one bad call resulted in a 12 point turnaround.

And given we can't score points at the best of times, that hurts.

Full credit to the Warriors, they exposed some terrible efforts defensively at our end.

 

[TimmyB]

Jeez, I think all the no try decision have been reasonably fair.

In both obstructions the Dragons' decoy runner clearly initiated contact, and the ballplayer stepped back across the sliding defence into the gap created. In both instances the Warriors defenders did have another shot at making tackle, but from a position that had been compromised by the decoy runner.

Warriors going well. No issue with what they have done.

 

[Leber]

I'm a Warriors fan bro

 

[This Year?]

I'm still laughing at the Benji no try.

 

[Leber]

Be very very surprised if we are able to hang on here. But it's still s much better effort than last week

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Warriors going well. No issue with what they have done.

I took the word "advantage" you used into different context. I fought you MIGHT be implying they're milking it. Sorry.

 

[Jaegerex]

No, they really havent. There was one bad call.

Yup, though by the black and white rule is correct doesn't make it a good call. Yes contact was man with a player behind the defensive line, but it isn't what causes a 10m gap to open up. That was all Kata rushing up.

I personally would like to go back to ex player discretion on obstruction once the season is over, black and white may be more consistent but it isn't a better ruling.

Keep black and white for the rest of this season though.

 

[Meth]

Get Sipley on the field

Thankyou. Just because a player has some kind of chance to stop the play doesn't mean he hasn't been impeded.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Maybe he should join forces with his mate Wobbie Farah over there at the Tigers

I have no problem with the Widdop no try but the Benji one is absolutely disgusting.
