NRL Rd 23 2021 - General Non-Warriors Thread

Twice in 1 night 12-0 up turns into 19-12 down

If not for the Storm this would be a great grand final.

12-all, twenty to go. Panthers have ground their way back and look the most likely now

This isn't a full strength Panthers either! Plus lost their Fullback during the game.

Latrell is a such a flat track bully, he’s every where when his team is flying but when it comes to putting in the hard work he goes missing. Pea heart stuff.

Another thing I noticed was bugger all set restarts. Some of our players like Jazz and Pompey only need to look at the ref funny and get pinged for a set restart. Not sure if I’m complaining that our ones shouldn’t be a restart or if there should have been more tonight, but I counted atleast 4 occasions where if the guy was wearing a Warriors jumper it would have been called

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Why do they bother with masks on the field???
1: They don't wear them properly.
2: They have just played all game against anyone on the field.

Waste of masks.

Felt Bunnies got some rough calls and Panthers given some important misses.

Latrell doesn't go looking for work to lift the team.

Refs are human, but they seem to bring a bias into games.
If they still do tip sheets on player then it is clearly bias, as you are looking for that player infringing rather than just watching for infringements.

Bunker just seems to be consistently inconsistent.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Will be interesting from Wayne post match, the ref is giving them absolutely nothing

Apparently least penalised team in comp and tonight gave away 11.

3rd game with team in front at half-time losing.

And more importantly JFH back soon, they are a great side… Edwards is kind of the odd one out, fullbacks have become so important and he’s not an elite one, decent though…. You wonder whether they could have kept Burton and moved him there

The game changed drastically when Crichton went to FB, not saying it’s all him but he is far more threatening

He’s a great athlete, not yet a great player….

A couple of sets I saw him running back and forward putting himself on either side of the ruck on attack looking for action, Tommy Turbo like.

Tigers v Bulldogs a tough one that advantages Warriors.
Small win by Tigers best due to points diff.
Tigers have Panthers then Dogs
Sharks have Broncos then Storm.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Bunker watching things in slow mo makes no sense for watching infringements. Tigers try disallowed as player held in scrum. At normal speed no issue, looked normal binding, in slow mo different story.
Maybe they need a real time timer running in the corner of the screen.

It’s getting interesting, I’m stil of the view that 7 and 8 are almost certainly rubbish sides, and certainly will be this year…. But we have a pretty decent draw for the last few weeks …. I long for a full double round so everything is fair

Sharks 50 points didn't help the cause.
Could all be for nothing by tomorrow night.
Knights win now 4 points clear of the chasing pack

Equation is unchanged - Storm will take care of Sharks, we need to win all our games and our destiny is in our hands

I won’t be surprised to see the Storm sit out half their side for that game

Payten's Cowboys have now lost ten straight.

The Bulldogs have gone backwards under Barrett.

I'm listening to the ABC Radio Grandstand wrap from today and preview of tomorrow. It's nice to hear their neutral opinion that we are a good chance of 'sneaking into the finals'. It's in our hands, sort of.

The NBA Miami Heat have announced that all their employees must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by September.

Is this news relevant to the NRL and/or Warriors? I'm not sure exactly where we are in this context.

This roosters season is ridiculous, they have no right to be in the position they are but just keep rolling on
