2023 R24 Sat - Wests Tigers 22-30 Warriors @ FMG Waikato

[Vic Mackey]

No-one knows. Totally fabricated no try. But I guess we’re a big team now because people are complaining we’re getting calls

you can’t be in front of the kicker, I thought that was obvious

It's the only explanation I can find for it - we're a top 4 team, so that subconscious bias that the One NZ CEO was talking about has swung in our favor.

I know, it feels absolutely unreal to get it - right?

After the easy start the warriors fell asleep

their attack is too sideways and they aren’t running as directly as they should in the forwards

their coach will sort that out at half time

You must know that’s not the rule Vic, you’ve been following league for years

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

I’m not even saying it was a try, I just feel like if it wasn’t a try somehow would be able to explain why

 

[Wb1234]

Cronk talking to robbo lol

rumours are they are sacking cronk as roosters attack coach

You must know that’s not the rule Vic, you’ve been following league for years

so you don’t have to be behind the kicker?

The defensive pressure is still there, errors are being forced from the Tigers - but yeah, we need that direct play on attack.

He was offside lol

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

so you don’t have to be behind the kicker?

No? Are you serious? What are half the chasers on any 6th tackle kick

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

He was offside lol

So you literally don’t know? Surely you’d explain if you could

 

[Vic Mackey]

No? Are you serious? What are half the chasers on any 6th tackle kick

lol what? Yes but they can’t then touch the ball at any stage in the play. Only the kicker can run an offside player back onside

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

lol what? Yes but they can’t then touch the ball at any stage in the play. Only the kicker can run an offside player back onside

That’s the best effort so far

 

[Wb1234]

Warriors 60 percent possession in the first half

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

tbh my understanding was you had to be 10m away when the ball was touched next but it seems like a real grind to even have that conversation

 

[Vic Mackey]

That’s the best effort so far

I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not, it’s a rule you get taught in the under 6s. Maybe they don’t have it in Union, which is why I’m guessing some of the NZ fans don’t seem to know it

 

[Wb1234]

So you literally don’t know? Surely you’d explain if you could

Metcalf was offside

so he’s not allowed to touch the ball unless the kicker puts him onside

Yeh that’s what I thought

 

[Wb1234]

Warriors the kings of milk lmao
