I'm usually gutted after such a loss but with the injuries and extra time we played with so much guts and fight it made it a bit easier to take. Up the Wahs💪
Yeah but I think that made it harder for me, just knowing how hard that would have been for the players to take… but on to the next. Hope the boys are all refreshed and ready for fire for the run home
I reckon there’s a fair few more supporters for Pompey than most realise. A big body that can look slick at times. His kicking is impressive too. Happy to see him get game time again
Yeah for sure, I got so much positive feedback when I interviewed him. Just a shame there are still haters out there who done recognize his contribution
Once our back 3 all got injured the Dogs started putting more pressure on the back 3 were doing damage I hate how injuries happen in big games for our boys.
No doubting the commitment from the boys. Gives me heart that going into the future we are setting a good platform regardless of the Titans debacle. With that said I felt we lost our way a bit when when had some repeat sets on attack and perhaps didn’t take the right options. Easy for me to say however. I know it’s really just about our halves still building combinations and confidence. Hopefully I week of will see us right.
@@thewarriorholic yeah true that, Webby and the team will be well aware. Us armchair experts can sometimes forget that they are professionals😂 I really hope Leka gets another game. I have always thought he’s sort of guy they will come in leaps and bounds with more exposure. He’s a freak.
Gutting, but I think our halves didn’t have the impact we are used to was because literally all of the people they normally set up for were gone. I think RTS to wing, if he is gonna play long term it can’t be at fullback
Yeah they don’t have many points in them. If we’d had a full team out there and not panicked with our kicking then we’d have won… but we didn’t so that’s footy
Thanks bro, gutsy effort after such huge disappointment. Yep can take a L but fkn tough to stomach in those circumstances.. I'm talking officiating. Am sick of the bias 🐂 💩. We'll get over it, have to & watch the lads go from here. Ktf💪🏼
I don’t think it’s bias against us, we see similar shit calls 2-3 times a weekend. Just straight incompetence under pressure. I reckon they need to force Graham Annesley to sit in the bunker for all games and have final say live. He seems to get most things right on a Monday so make get it there and make the calls live
@@kelbatt7729 I don’t believe that for a minute. The NRL would love it if we did because it would give them a massive boost when negotiating the broadcast deal in NZ
Just shattering. I'm feeling hollow still. It was a really great game though. It highlighted why there is no tougher team sport. Right at the end both teams were walking in a bunch and out of energy. Both sides had run themselves to the ground but they kept digging to find a way. Only thing that comes close is the 15th round of a slugfest in boxing. Switched it over to the Union at the end but could only watch 5 mins of it. Doesn't compare unless a WC final pehaps. I believe the guy in the bunker, Adam Gee, is a bulldogs fan. Nothing else made sense. He has to be fired. It was the easiest penalty you will see. Just unbelievable but unfortunately used to this type of shit over the years. If Montoya and DWZ had stayed on I'm pretty sure we would have won. Montoya was having his best game. DwZ too. Liked RTS at FB. Barney wasn't human. Walker seemed to be everywhere. The new guy Leka was a real.highlight. So gutted for the team. In Golden point they should not have 7 tackle set if they miss drop goal. A stupid rule. To be honest I would have been happy with a draw at the end. No one really deserved to lose, TMM episode aside.
I think when games get to this point the bunker and refs get gun shy. They don’t want to give away penalties that decide the game… but by doing that they actually decide the game in the opposite way. Complete incompetence is all I can say. Just annoys me that they end up becoming the focal point after an epic battle like that. I also hate golden point as a way to decide the game. Stupid to decide games on drop goals.
@@thewarriorholic Agree but this was a case of a penalty that was too obvious not to give. I think if you go to golden point, both teams should get 1 point and then the winner gets an additional 1 point. Should also need a try to win, not a drop goal.
Great effort but hey effort should be a given not a surprise. Yea agree Burton's kicking is top quality and a big reason they are in top 8 However let's be real while we won the forward battles our kicking game was well below where it needs to be then under finals like pressure our last tackle options were dreadfully directionless simply not NRL standard.There is no excuse not to be far better.The bye round is a chance for a lot of work to go into this area as we don't have time to take time for developing combos etc.The SJ knockers certainly need to have a rethink but unlikely they will. RTS actually looked ok at center but I would still like him to wing with Ali L coming into center.Tuapiki is almost certain to come in at FB. Interesting if Webby sticks with Leka he had a hell of a debut. Doggies just fought hard kicking long and high their attack wasn't great.This is a game that got away from us. Oh well bye round with Barnett to play Origin then Raiders on Friday.Hopefully Barnett doesn;t get wrecked in Origin and can play. UP DA WAHS
Hurts to see it's terrible calls that ended up dictating the game, annusly needs to stand down at the end of this season for his useless, feckless leadership tbh. Other than that, the lads carried the mana that pushed them to the end. Lots to say about the character of the squad, Halasima showed he deserves to play top grade and imagine if Laban, Zyon and Halasima get the opportunity to link up and show what the new breed can achieve in the near future 👀👀 solid game considering what we had to overcome to even get to 88 minutes and everyone deserves a solid relaxing break coming GTFI 🔥🔥 up the mighty wahs and up the mighty warriorholic 🔥🔥🔥🤙🤙🔥🤙🔥
@@thewarriorholic One problem with our future boys is they are all the same size, (185cm 105kg) opposition players (apparently) tire faster when they have to adjust for different heights.
It's hard to take hopefully we win from here on who knows might still be a chance of making 8 again another good review too meke bro go the mighty warriors 💪

Yer thanks bro. Cant agree on it all but next one a win!
What do you disagree with?
Was proud of the wahs for the guts and effort. Pretty use to the bunker calls against us but it was a good game 💪
Yeah bunker is consistently incompetent. Our boys did us proud though
Annesley coming out and saying it should have been a penalty for that late shot makes the loss feel undeserved, onto the next one though!
Yeah just makes it worse to hear that eh
Yea nothing anyone can do it is what it is but damn how the bunker made that call is so crazy questions need to asked.
That's happened to us a few times, other teams too, but what happens if it happens in a GF?

@@thewarriorholicDude….it’s his defence under high ball and in general are reasons for the negative feedback.
I think we can live with a loss when we don't quit.
Yeah that’s it, all I ever ask for is for the boys to play with heart eh
Appreciate you my brother 💯
🙏🏻 thanks mate 💚❤️💙
Once our back 3 all got injured the Dogs started putting more pressure on the back 3 were doing damage I hate how injuries happen in big games for our boys.
Yeah we always seem to cop injuries in big games like this… so damn annoying

Yeah they will know themselves but the key is to learn from it eh. Next time we get that chance we have to nail it
@@thewarriorholic yeah true that, Webby and the team will be well aware. Us armchair experts can sometimes forget that they are professionals😂 I really hope Leka gets another game. I have always thought he’s sort of guy they will come in leaps and bounds with more exposure. He’s a freak.

Yeah I agree RTS to the wing
It's gonna take a miracle or 2 from here bro. Bugger it. UTWs. ❤
Yeah almost down to that eh
Just hope we can pull something out of the hat eh
@@thewarriorholic Definitely m8. Never lose faith no matter how much it hurts at times. 😍
Barnet can make blues? Wow
Yes he did
2 words to sum up this game: weekend ruined lol Montoya was fired up in this one.
Yeah both him and Dallin were playing as good as we’ve seen them this year
Gutted but proud. F you to the bunker. Grrrrr so hard to get over. 13+ when we get them in Auckland.
Yeah they don’t have many points in them. If we’d had a full team out there and not panicked with our kicking then we’d have won… but we didn’t so that’s footy

@@thewarriorholic The NZ Warriors will NEVER be allowed to win the NRL competition. But I'd love to eat my hat.
@@kelbatt7729 I don’t believe that for a minute. The NRL would love it if we did because it would give them a massive boost when negotiating the broadcast deal in NZ
Dogs are good this year.
Their D is good but they can’t score points

Yeah in form and fit SJ would have iced that. Taine definitely has to go to the back IMO, need his energy
Dogs have very little on attack
Hurts to see it's terrible calls that ended up dictating the game, annusly needs to stand down at the end of this season for his useless, feckless leadership tbh.

Yeah I can only imagine our pack in 5 years with Toby, Taufua, Zyon, Laban, Leka and Demitric 🔥
@@thewarriorholic One problem with our future boys is they are all the same size, (185cm 105kg) opposition players (apparently) tire faster when they have to adjust for different heights.
Rekon its shit but there again. Just gota win em all no. Think can have to!
What are you thinking was shit?
Up the Wahs
Always 💚❤️💙
It's hard to take hopefully we win from here on who knows might still be a chance of making 8 again another good review too meke bro go the mighty warriors 💪
Thanks mate. Always worth it to get all the feed back as tough as it is to review a loss. Surely we have to step up on R20
Barnett is blues dont want em? Wahs do.
He’s in
Match fixing i reckon unfortunate for the boys they put it all on the line
Nah bro just compete incompetence
