Gameday - Rd 10 Warriors v Panthers

[Beavers Headgear]

Ford binning was pretty clear cut, when are the players going to learn

The young fella was a stupid play, and left him open to that call, but I watched Mitchell do the same to Reynolds and he wasn’t penalised at all, so those calls on the same incident are at the complete opposite end of the spectrum

competed well again, defence will keep you in the contest but attack is looking a touch toothless. Egan starting from the bench is a strange call

 

[JJ]

Presumably that was caution with Egan? But yeah he has to start, and ideally play the whole game

I had a think about it and I suspect it’s because they’re worried about him getting another knock so they want to have Lussick in the team as backup for him, but also don’t want to waste an interchange spot if Egan plays out the game so they’re using Lussick in the first 20 to soak up the initial punishment and then act as an injury reserve.

That’s exactly what it was, and in this case it worked quite well due to all our injuries.

 

[vvvrulz]

Another tough old grind, we did way too much defending and injuries and rubbish calls didn't help us one bit.

I'm still glad we didn't give up, I love our starch and our biggest problem right now is not icing the (few) opportunities we get to score. It could be a lot worse.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Latrell just had 2 goes at Harry Grants head, no penalty

 

[Matua]

How do the refs justify these high shots as not even deserving penalties now? A year ago they’d be looking at a potential sin bin. How quickly the rules change when the Warriors are at the receiving end.

Its not why we lost but it’s f**kn frustrating.

Also, could we get through one game please without losing most of the bench to injury? Really tough circumstances to try to close out games with both wingers gone and down to one man on the bench.

I thought the bad old days of B/S officiating of the Warriors was over, the last two have proven me wrong.

I really don't know what's the point anymore.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

I wish we'd grow up as a fan base, and I don't mean this forum.

Every time I go on Warriors social media it's about the refs, like we think we have this premiership winning squad and the only way to deal with the fact we might not win it all is to go down the easy route and blame the refs. Sharks fans felt aggrieved in our comeback win but we pushed on, we saw nothing. But oh no when we lose, let's lay out the sufferance we had!

Penrith were the better side. We fought hard, but we were bereft of ideas, we blew chances, Montoya f**ked up a read on the To'o try, etc. That's the NRL. We need to get better, get guys like Egan, Barnett, Martin etc back on the field or we're fringe 8 potential again

Can't beat Panthers with 2 sin bins in a game and come crap kicking.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

12-6, we're in it. Despite players like Ford (knock-on) trying to present them with a try two minutes from halftime.

A high quality first half from both sides, with brutal defence and completion rates standing out.

Always felt like they going to roll over top of us at halftime.

Go back and look at Yeo tackle before Fords, Ford at least drop his arms down. Only diff is out guy didn't get up limping.

Feel we missing a spark/threat in attack that makes defense have to answer a few questions.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Yeo hip drop tackle set before Fords that goes unsighted and punished and won't be noticed by match review.

We clearly made to many errors and had poor last tackle kicking options.
But consistency is a bitch sometimes!
Still hoping Webster will get us out of the victim mentality soon.

I don’t think they ever really went away but when you side is a rabble you know it’s not really making much of a difference and don’t care. When you’re competitive and still getting arseholed in close ones it matters and hurts a lot more.

I hope they contest Ford’s and show that at the hearing.

 

[GoSouths]

Its the inconsistency from one game to the next which is the most infuriating aspect as well as within the game.
The previous night, a player got a slap in the face and it was a penalty. Last night DWZ has the same thing happen and nothing. Clearly the referees arent reffing from the same rule book.
Last night, Harris gets pinged for a moderate high tackle that had slipped up from the ball to the neck region. Commentators say its a soft penalty. Then in the second half when Warriors are hot on attack, he cops one fair on the chin. The bunker looks at it and its play on. How is that not viewed as cheating by whoever is in the bunker by the public? How can you watch a game when you know this sort of thing goes on every game. There is no accountability, no fines to these people who are making poor decisions everytime. Compared to other sports the NRL is an absolute joke, where a crap referee, ends up in the bunker with all the technology in the world and still f**ks it up, or sees something different to the rest of the world. No wonder people think its a rort.

And this is nothing to do with any narrative bullshit. i dont even watch footy shows etc. This is what i am seeing with my 2 eyes.

100% right, but it’s hard to get past when you have a media that knows f all about rugby league pushing the narrative week after week after week

The Sky commentary is the worst, last week Larmer and whoever the token female of the day was were making up scenarios that happened and rules as they went. Couple I remember was when you heard held, the Warriors player offloaded, and the ref called them back. “Ball was clearly passed before the call”. Walker clearly not square at marker “he was perfectly fine” etc

That Dogs game earlier in the year was a very nice call for the winning try as well. Fans of most clubs feel they are hard done, it is something across the board. My Raiders mate reckons they get stitched up every week, even though Annesley admitted a gigantic error that hugely contributed to getting them home last weekend

The raiders and the titans do get shafted week after week. Storm, Easts generally somehow get the better of decisions over an average season with a few shockers here and there. Warriors were getting some calls earlier this season. Now its disappeared and normal service resumed.

I suspect the investigation is into the comments not the shit calls?
Wonder if NRL will be a bit more worried about a major sponsor seeing what the random punters have been screaming about for a while. Oh hold on its a Warriors sponsor.

Amazing in today's world it got past any PC filters. Must have done a customer survey and found their target demographic had these grievance!

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Phil Gould got investigated last week too

How embarrassing from the sponsor, shame he wasn’t as concerned about the customer service of his operation where you spend an hour on hold to speak to someone overseas that you can barely understand
