Match Discussion: Round 4 vs Warriors @ Go Media Stadium, Penrose / Aotearoa

[Woody90]

I feel like we're never going to be in this game. Hope I'm wrong.

Yeah it’s been a while since I’ve had literally no hope for a game before. It’s not because the Warriors are particularly unbeatable but a combination of our outs, current form and the fact that we never play well over there.

I’m pretty calm for the game as can’t see a win. Just hoping we show an 80 minute performance.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

The main thing is we need to see an improved performance. A win would be golden but I’d take a close loss that gives us some confidence as an alternative.

 

[perverse]

Am I the only one that finds Matt Nable's voiceovers incredibly overdramatic and cringe? Fox sports cram him down my throat every damn weekend, and every time I hear him speak it's just the saddest shit I've ever heard.

I have to mute my stream when he's talking. It's too much of a cringe overload. I can't believe there's a producer somewhere that thinks yep, what the Tigers vs. Parra game needs is a voiceover making it sound like it's the f**king superbowl combined with state of origin and the 100m sprint final at the olympics all rolled into one. It's legitimately condescending and offensive to just about anyones intelligence.

Whew ok I feel better now.

 

[macavity]

expecting us to get smacked tbh

 

[Tom155]

Gee that was a shot from frizz

Even worse, half of them are about boxing.

Good tackle by Friz.

 

[Apey]

Ball movement looks better today. Dud last tackle option though.

 

[Apey]

We've turned up in goal line defence today.

 

[perverse]

I know Best hasn't done much with the ball yet this year, but geez he's been getting his defence spot on. His jamming-in and sticking has been shutting down heaps every week.

 

[Apey]

Or not. Took them about 5 sets though.

 

[perverse]

We just couldn't keep up with them in the middle there. Punched through us a few times up the guts and then SJ sums it up against the retreating defence, as he does.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Ugh

 

[macavity]

We can’t win many with these halves and these wingers. Starting on the back foot then can’t finish the set.

 

[Lynoman]

3 forward passes in the lead up and a try assist to 14th man Peter Gough

 

[Haffa]

Just a metre forward. All good.

 

[Yosh]

Two stupid penalties when we got them trapped in their own 20m and plenty of set resets for them... Of course they were gonna score.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Getting slaughtered by ref. Forward passes everywhere.

 

[perverse]

Worth noting the area of the field the game is being played too, deep in our half. We've had some pretty frustrating calls to give the Warriors a bit of extra ball I think, but the worry is how easily they just march it through us.

 

[perverse]

Haha, gonna be a long afternoon. Lazy effort from JSaf and Friz caught napping completely. That was really embarrassing.

 

[Apey]

Reckon anyone would take the Saifitis off us?
