2021 Rd 3 V Warriors: Game Day

[Roger Kenworthy]

And that is why you put specialist left wingers on the left edge.

Rapa had a blinder. Every chance Baily would have just thrown it out

Rapa is my first choice right winger. You need a left winger that can finish with their left hand. Those are the fine margins these days.

I get so tired of hearing how brave a performance games like this are. 'Brave' is the most overused word in the English language.

These are professional athletes being paid exorbitant amounts of money to win. They were good enoigh to get 21 points ahead, they need to be good enough to manage the game - and all associated hurdles - to hold on and win.

The best teams do and we didn't. I have no time for 'bravery' or other buzzwords/soundbites after a match like that.

Mate quite simply you go out the and play for 80 mins straight most of our props play 50-60 mins tops. Yet tonight Papa and Sutton probably had 5-10 minutes off the field. Toots dislocated a finger and stayed out Curtis has a God damn broken rib stayed out there. Nearly all the boys worked their arses off tonight and we lost on some bull crap refereeing decisions.
I'll use brave every god damn time this game is mentioned. We had absolutely no right to score 31 points but we did and you want to be gutless and attack people cause we use the word brave get the F out of here.

[KingDynamite]

I guess we owed one from last week. But that one hurt. I always say you have to be better than the refs but goodness me, we were up against it.

[mick63]

Drop Rapana. Any winger worth his wage scores that.

you **** idiot

[nachopants]

Heart breaking loss. Absolutely heart breaking so emotions will be high

I try to stay calm at times like this and wonder where the influence is in a 50/50 game.

I honestly think Perinara’s calls in the first fifteen of the 2nd half half had a significant influence. The “forward pass” is a clumsy excuse, but there were several holding tackles and 6-again calls that we were denied.

Proud of our squad, and super proud of our medical staff for ruling the 50/50’s in favour of our players’ welfare

Agreed.
Simple Jack kicks out on a full when we needed to make them work for it, and they score.
Whitehead tries to offload on 3rd tackle when we desperately needed to hold on to it.

Classic Raiders.

Being better than the refs is a luxury when you’re significantly better than the opposition.

In close or even games, it’s not a rational take.

[Wiki Special]

Perenara is not NRL standard.

[thedevilingreen]

So, now we lose that game, purely on the ref, and have a bunch of injured players... Awesome... Mid week apology from the NRL, nothing will change... How is it that blatant **** forward passes still can't be ruled on? We have like 40 **** cameras out there, computers which can work out angles... How is it in 2021 we can't tell which direction a **** ball is going?

Amazing how the video ref was very quiet on that one. Our boys stopped cause that idiot stopped even the commentators thought he called it

The video ref can’t overturn a forward pass

I know I'm just God damn frustrated

[Old School Green]

Courageous given everything, but deflating.
Raps should have finished at the end 9.99 out of 10 he nails that, so that’s disappointing.

Can’t be too judgy given the circumstances and it’s only Rd3.

You’d have to think Tapine and Scott out next week and the other two will have to work the protocol. Hard to know who comes in after that insipid reggies performance earlier but we will have to get up and go again and Titans will be tough. At least Huddo back to mark Fifita

[-PJ-]

Forward, Forward, Forward, and not just the tries they scored..All DAY !!

Great game Henry..

I try not to call people names typically. But you are an idiot

No need to be a keyboard warrior. Have a thoughtful argument prepared and present it.

Personally, I don't think it is good enough given the lead they had - all things considered.

[Green Beers]

Is it me or did the ref look like he’d been on a bender last night

[Ultima]

Perenara is not NRL standard.

Cecchin was meant to ref our game... Then instead we get this drop kick for some **** reason...

That BMM try was an absolute disgrace. Not to mention about 10 of Egan’s passes from dummy half.

Expected to lose that game given the circumstances but **** me I just wish I could cop a loss now and then and not know the ineptitude of refereeing played a part.

He has missed out on plenty of opportunities like that on the left wing the last two years. That was one of his better attempts.

Yeah that's the question... sure, on SD cameras from the 1990's, ruling on forward passes would be a bit hard, and in general play don't bother, but in situations like that, when it's not just "floating forward" but basically a Quarterback pass? It's just pathetic that the bunker has to sit on it's hands and pretend everything is OK...

Mate quite simply you go out the and play for 80 mins straight most of our props play 50-60 mins tops. Yet tonight Papa and Sutton probably had 5-10 minutes off the field. Toots dislocated a finger and stayed out Curtis has a God damn broken rib stayed out there. Nearly all the boys worked their arses off tonight and we lost on some bull crap refereeing decisions.
I'll use brave every god damn time this game is mentioned. We had absolutely no right to score 31 points but we did and you want to be gutless and attack people cause we use the word brave get the F out of here.

Calm down mate. We are all disappointed.

It was my personal opinion and the thing with those is, we all get one. You made some good counter arguments so no need to start carrying on.

[Green_Hammock]

Heart breaking loss. Been a while since I've felt this devastated after a game.

All good mate. Just so bloody frustrating that we can't seem to EVER close out games with good game management. Even last week was just a stroke of luck.

[The Nickman]

Hahaha Ricky Stuart’s press conference was the BEST!

[Postman Pat]

Hahaha Ricky Stuart’s press conference was the BEST!

Haha, said it all didn’t he!

[-PJ-]

It all started when Ron missed the horn..

[Hong Kong Raider]

Ricky should have told the truth

That Perenara is a cheating snake

[LastRaider]

We should have won that, we were 21 points up. It’s the start of the season so the energy levels and fitness should be higher.

Stuart knows Perenara is a cheat too hence not wanting to talk any further to avoid a fine

Yeah, it's laced with frustrating but I stand by it. We have to learn to overcome obstacles better. It isn't 12 or 15 points, it was 21!!! That isn't all down to Perenara as some of the other guys have pointed out.

[radicalraider]

RTS said they targeted Scott and it was obvious.. He couldn't make a tackle.. who cares who plays left or right.. you just want to stop the leak of points with someone who can atleasr tackle.. if we played with 12 instead of Scott we don't lose!

Mate, stop it
We had no middle bench, one centre dislocated his finger, one fractured his ribs
We had havilii playing edge
Hodgson playing as a middle running forward
And the officials had a terrible game at our expense
This is not the game to be pissing and loaning about this

[Seiffert82]

We just had literally everything go against us that game. I think we can take stuff from it. Hopefully Tapine isnt too injured. Best to just forget it and move on

Yep, hard to remember a game with that sort of injury toll and decisions go against us and still just lose. Offloads were 20-3 in the end. Unbelievable.

Warriors are a very good team too.
