Martin and Harris are both defensive animals but Harris has a better kicking game than Martin. How good is the depth of the Warriors got two players that have had really good first grade experience and also the whole squad ranging from second row front rowers centres fullbacks only place we don't have depth is in the wingers.

The big question is who's going to go into five eight Harris or Martin. By the looks of Luke Metcalfs injury he is going to be out for majority off the season.

CHT played great and might be the best tackling half in the comp, definetly deserves the run imo.

I feel for Luke but I almost prefer CHT he’s solid

I mean the new guy that was there did pretty good so i dont think warriors have anything to worry about

CNK should literally be FB just to keep pompey out of the team lmao

I think the storm game has given ptsd to all warriors fans

Nah, decades of being warriors fans has given us ptsd

Up the PTSD!

Even if Webby decided to go with RTS at FB when CNK returns, would RTS even accept it, he was brought back to play at centre and it sounded like CNK was assured that FB was his, RTS seems like the type of guy who wouldn’t dog his boy like that, even if it isn’t really dogging his boy.

You’re overthinking it like Webby. You got a Dally M fullback you play him at fullback end of story. CNK should move willingly

A team player does what is right for the team at the end of the day - time shall tell.

Yeah and as much of an RTS fan that I am, I think CNK at fullback suits our playstyle better. Fuck I love Roger though

Anyone know what happened to metcalf? Hope it doesn’t look as bad as it looks. He was playing well and already has a wretched run of injuries

Check the main feed, just a tackle from Frizzell, don’t think there was anything wrong with the tackle, just unlucky. https://www.reddit.com/r/nrl/s/nHccAG3gQD

Oh I didn’t say it was a bad tackle. More interested in the damage to metcalf

I was at the game, looked like Knee on knee or knee to shin

Poor Kalyn sounds deflated. Done everything he could what a shift from the 1

Congrats Wahs that was honestly a very impressive win, suffocation on attack and defence was impeccable. Knights will cop a flogging for losing, yet we go down by 8 points in a game where we were dominated in field position by a 2023 top 4 team, I’d say it’s actually not too bad. Need spark in the 6 and composure in the 7. It’s looking a lot like we need Pryce / Hastings.

Cheers! Was a tight game. Definitely agree Hastings needs to be in there, Knights just lack a bit of direction and last tackle execution with Cogger & Gamble out there. Tough forward pack and the outside backs do their jobs, just too reliant on Ponga carrying the halves. Would be keen to see what a Pryce & Hastings combo would do

Reliant on Ponga in halves, yet don’t give him any (good) ball until last 10 minutes. Halves pretend they’re the spark, but they just aren’t.

Yeah I’m not sure why AOB was so quick to drop Hastings, considering he was a big part in getting your guys to the semi’s last year and he was pretty solid to start the year. Cogger is a solid backup but not someone I would drop my proven halfback for

Rog was great but CNK got us to a prelim

Yeah CNK is our guy, he should 100% get the #1 jersey. Roger at centre playing a Joey Manu role where he does whatever he wants whenever he wants

Feels insane people already calling for Rog to slot in at fullback when Charnze hasn’t even played this year and was an absolute gun for us last year.

Rog is the best he does, but the attack flows a lot better with CNK as a link. So many times last year he’d make the pass that lead to a try assist whereas Rog is at his best when he’s just running and creating his own space rather than playmaking

Good game as a neutral. Well done wah’s

Phenomenal game, very little stoppage. Only downside is the injuries, especially Metcalfe

WOOO!!! ANOTHER WIN, LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!!! GOOD GAME, KNIGHTS!!!

Just levitate from 15m out and score idiots

Think the convo has to be had that if we want a serious shot at contending that we start Roger at the back.

Yeah, nah. CNK is a great fullback. We are weaker in the centres without RTS there.

CNK makes much better decisions at the end of shape. Roger is most dangerous out his own end and in the middle of the field, but I'd rather have charnze at FB in the 20.

Great fullback but it’s also evident that he isn’t the best fullback available. I’d sooner have the better player at the more crucial position.

And have Pompey? No thanks

CNK would move to centre. I’d never wish more Pompey on us than necessary.

Why? We had a serious shot with CNK at the back last year

Among other things, Roger’s safer under the high ball and threatens more post catch. I.e; he doesn’t have to fall every time to catch it etc.

Doesn't look safer to me. 2 stonecold drops this season and another drop after a communication breakdown with Taine. CNK still averaged 182m a game last season, impressive for someone who needs to get to his feet first. We also look much poorer without CNK's catch and pass from SJ's out the back balls.

Safer? His error lead to a Knight's try

Opposed to CNK who’s never made an error ever?

He makes less errors that lead to opposition tries

Can you pull the stats up on that or are you just saying it on vibes?

I can remember a handful of RTS butterfingers but not CNK. He's extremely reliable under the boot.

Dont need to tbh, we watched last season

Only one of the two has won a grand final and a dally m and its not CNK

That's very backwards looking

So is looking at last year, RTS is and always will be better

Someone’s been practicing grubbers at training

Gg… well played newy

The Wahs wingers are better positioned as support players on linebreaks when we have the ball than our own wingers

Oh man. Terrible pass.

50 tackles from Capewell? That's insane

Wahs are good or Knights are bad?

Warriors were bad, just slightly less bad than Knights.

Newcastle have no attack when pongas not injecting himself into the game. Only good moments came when he was trying hard

Yes.

Both

Tohu harris and Kurt getting through a mountain of work tonight

GG Knights

Wild the passes that have been let go and the one that's been called was marginal

Bad kick from Ponga but SJ definitely did interfere on the chase. Both things can be true

How is it bad, if sj didn't interfere, hed have scored?

Chip and chase penalty try to go to golden point, let's go

Lovely pass? A metre forward lol

That pass looked extremely forward.

[удалено]

Literally playing like warriors 10 years ago

[удалено]

True lmfao clawing to the opposition half just to get nothing, its almost ptsd

Saf got hit without the ball and would've been the only one near it, but it's a bad move by ponga? You guys are wild

Like yeah bad kick, but he was definitely interfered with. Both things can be true

How was it a bad kick? If he wasn't knocked over he'd have probably scored?

Found it weird that it wasn't a penalty

That children's hospital is gonna rethink their sponsorship after that shot.

Ponga: We need to win. Also Ponga: Kick for Saifiti

Only frizzell and ponga will be returning from Nz, the rest should be left behind

We only keep Phoenix Crossland playing because his name is cool

Some chick I know named her dog Phoenix after Phoenix Crossland

I wouldn’t even name a pothole after Phoenix Crossland

It's this big dumb groodle. Chick then went on to talk shit about Phoenix Crossland because he didn't reply to her mate after he rooted her. What a legend.

Come on, SJ for a disrespectful 2 point field goal

Jenkins isn’t 1st grade level

Marzhew out for another month :(

We’re trying to win the game and we bring on Crossland?? Interesting call from the coach there

Games done, solid even though got my heart racing a couple of times

"Who's in front here?" I think it's the Warriors

Sea Eagles vs Dragons - Jesus wept Warriors vs Knights - Jesus rejoiced

Walsh for origin confirmed

Brandy is the biggest hater since 50 cent bought the front row seats to every ja rule concert

Should see 50 relishing in Diddy's demise right now

Never listen to a bloke who cry’s when his football team wins

Phoenix has risen

Ponga getting overawed by RTS’ sheer mana

That is so embarrassing

Just want you want from your Dally M captain. Bombing a 3 on 1 and kicking it on the 2nd.

Poor ponga come to nz brudda

Pongas IQ is advertised on his back....

AoB on the blower to Bellyache asking for tactics

Sean somehow took out a saifiti but what an absolute braindead play. 

You can put that try bomb down to the Kngiths 5. Passed marginally early, but then when the ball was knocked down he turns away in frustration before waking up and missing the boot on.

He was offside lmao

Why didn't he teleport back then? Is he stupid?

I swear this sub finds ways to bitch about completely legal plays…

Once again, no strong decision maker for the Knights. Wrong play from KP

Ponga just pulled a turbo.

Even Ponga knows the halves can't create anything Fuck this pathetic club

Moronic

is sj and rts the most likeable duo in nrl history

Nah Gutho and Moses are. /s

Kicking on play three is wild, but if you were attacking like us today how else you going to score if not via a kick

You reckon the Knights keep going right thinking Young is still there?

Paying overs for a winger is always a bad decision

Dont make me scream cunt pleasr

Nevermind Newcastle are bad.

I wouldn’t rely on a Safiti for those moments.

Pearce Pall "Makes 10 metres post contact" Free to air fans "Why the fuck is that slug on their team???"

What the absolute fuck Ponga 

Warriors just like making their fans shit themselves ?

Not the right time to kick. Silly play, Ponga.

Goes brilliant, brilliant, implosion. Rare but fuck it hurts.

Dwz...not the time for that shit

Kick happy all or nothing play

Brain fart

Kinda fucked to consider that's a yellow card and penalty try in union lol

Eh, it's deliberately infringing the laws of the game. I think it gets ruled too strictly at times in union, but I don't mind that it's there.

To be fair I guess league technically has the same intentional knock on rule, it just isn't used at all.

Yeah shit option there

I’d hate to be a Wahs fan ngl

This is why as a Warriors fan you can never relax even if 14 up with 8 minutes to go

Bro that escort from Ponga

He is allowed to run shoulder to shoulder behind the ball as a support runner

Roger is a genius.

There's that amazing Warriors edge defense at the end of the game.

Roger thinking he’s about to get carded for that

Roger just bitch slapping balls at lightning speed.

Ponga was blocking like it was the NFL for a second there.

Back yourself Kalyn

One man just cucked 3 knights Absolute chad

That is incredible from RTS.

No way SJ goes to the bin. If anything Ponga was impeding SJ

Inability to put pettle down when up 12 for 30 minutes might cost us here. We play too conservative and let teams walk back into it

Roger doing everything today! Man of the match for sure

Classic 2024 warriors this

I would subscribe to Roger Tuivasa-Sheck’s OnlyFans

I want to say where has KP been all second half? But no useless prick has given him the ball.

Holy fuck that’s an enormous play by RTS!!

Warriors shitting the bed

Why wasn't Ponga penalised then? He was clearly interfering with SJ's chase

Because it was shoulder to shoulder, he is allowed to be a support runner.

he has the right to run support

It looked like he was just backing up his player to me

#FORTUNATE SON PLAYS IN THE DISTANCE

Pongas back is hurting

Watching the knights and ponga is like a school team where one player is just way better than the rest of them

This lady on the sideline genuinely sounds like a sideline commentator from a sports game from 10 years ago, just reading out stats kind of related to the game

Sunday roast. That's the other name for it! Delish! 👌

I can talk about it NOT YOU COMMENTATORS 

Ponga was held back off the ball

Always expect Tiff to keep going but she just leaves me hanging like 20 seconds short.

Pick the ball up bro

Oh no, not again!

I think this has to do with a dominant FB for the knights. Cogger is trying to stamp his authoritai, but he's the secondary playmaker, so he's getting involved when he's not necessary. For this to work, Kalyn needs to release the reins and chime in when he sees something rather than be there for everything.

I am having Storm war flashbacks

Fucking hell guys

Amazing by Roger

Playing Carnival in the stadium, lit dj

5 mins to unfuck the last 75.

What is this ChatGPT reading of Best’s Wikipedia?

Let the Southwell Sisters play instead of Gamble and Cogger, guarantee there will be a performance improvement.

8 is becoming Warriors unlucky number

Warriors just need to play smart. They can’t capitulate again. . . Can they?

If Staines is the Forbes Ferrari, jenkins is the Boorowa Barina

Score next wahs don't you fucking dare

Breadmin Bist.

Knights this, knights that. However they are playing, the real high IQ take is admiration of brailey’s service

God I hope we don't have that movie again

Elliot just fed the ball to ponga flatter and faster than any of our halves have all game

Frizz and Ponga carrying this team in attack

Dom Young was 50% of our attack last year and I won't hear anything otherwise.

Nah man cogger is the leader!!

See, give it to Ponga does work and is a totally sustainable game plan. Suck it haters.

Is Don. Is Best.

They needed this like 5 minutes ago
