It's not like we're not used to this from our beloved Warriors ... it's the new hype train fans from last year that I feel sorry for, this must be a shock.

Big start, no points. I'm worried.
I haven’t checked the stats lately but we’ve been #1 in the comp for metres gained much of the season. That first 10 minutes really summed us up, we played so much ‘good footy’ but we never looked like scoring any points. We play the house down between the two 20 metre lines but we have nothing when defending or attacking in the 20s.

The worst part about the last ten minutes is we finally started using creativity in our attacking sets.

That was 3 (should have been 4) tries in 10 minutes as soon as SJ started doing something original.
He missed two clangers with the boot too - fast asleep for most of the game and we still could have won it.

First set Lussick crusher tackle

Start on their 45m.

Eels stuck in ruck and nothing given.

SJ first attacking kick poor, looked for points with something fancy rather than pressure 20m out.

Niukore a little fumble apparently, replay unclear, no separation and no challenge.

Was a nice energetic set in the buildup.


Poor kick by Eels knocked on halfway by Talfa. Eels scrum on halfway.

Eels knock on a certain try after MGT turned in.


6 more on tackle 4 for Warriors.

Doesn't happen for us!

6 more again when Niukore held.

Eels then offside tackling Capewell inside the 15m.

Shit set, no structure and shit kick at end by Eels. 20m restart before replay showed Eels touch?

Then 6 again for ruck infringement.

MGT knocks on the pass 10m out.

Eels make a break certain. To score and offloads knocked down by Ale to regather.

Why is CHT kicking in the 4th?

Does anyone know why this is the case? My mate and I have been wondering all year why there are so many empty seats in all the sell out games. Are the corporate box seats spread out through the ground and people stay in the box?
In Newcastle the same happens, but a lot of shift workers here, so can't always make the game but season passes cheaper than game day tix if you can make more than 5 games.

The stats also show great completions.
It shows half's with no idea, no ability to build pressure or break down a defense.

The chip bomb is over used, no repeat sets tonight. Our attacking structures are flat and easy to read 1 out stuff or ball shuffled left to right.

Culture really is baked in pretty hard.
You add a talent like RTS and you manage to get worse.
Poor Fisher-Harris coming to this shit show.
