Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Warriors @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

[Woody90]

That try was on Gagai for the dumb pass when we had someone in the bin.

 

[Yosh]

Holbrook's gonna be so mad at Gagai for that. We just needed to get to half time..

Also, looked a tad forward but we shouldn't have been in that position in the first place..

 

[Seage]

Phoenix on report for a hip drop? That will do me.

This game has season imploding vibes

Lucas is not comfortable defending next to Smith

our back row has been absent so far this year

 

[Tom155]

Between the super dumb errors and getting absolutely reamed by the officials it’s a miracle we’re not down more tbh

Bit dramatic. We were always going to be up against it.

McEwen very ordinary to start the season

 

[Port Panther]

Gagau having a shockeralong with the ref .

Yes the biggest disappointment so far this year. Lucas and McEwen both have had minimal impact with the ball and some moments in defence too.

A carbon copy of last year. Win the first 2 and never sniff a win again. Hooray.
I still remember a few seasons ago when Mitch Barnett ruined our season by getting sent off against Penrith when we were looking solid. We never recovered from that. Not against Penrith, and not against anyone else that year.

This ref has been a deadset joke.

put it down to25 years of trauma

 

[Woody90]

While the ref has been terrible, we’re giving a lot away because we’ve been losing the ruck since the interchanges came on.

 

[perverse]

I don't think this implodes our season - it was always going to be tough once Sharpe was ruled out. Having said that, we're also seeing the gap between a top pack and ours today. I think the honeymoon of deluding ourselves into thinking Pasami Saulo's and Thomas Cant's could be enough is well and truly over.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

We're getting Epstein'd but the refs

Frizell and Soulo v Barnett and Niukore

Difference has been stark to say the least

Unfair on Lucas. He was huge in minimising both Luki and Olakau'atu over the last 2 weeks

 

[Alex28]

We are having a go - a bit of it beyond what they should at times - but can’t argue the effort and proactive nature.

The defence… it’s reacting to how dominant the Warriors are in attack. They have needed to jump early to keep them out.

 

[Jono078]

Not gonna comment on the bullshit ref or our errors. But Sandons got a habit of rushing up and leaving huge gaps. He better fix that asap.
