Hey @nrl . Serious @NZWarriors fans don’t think officials are cheating. However, subconscious bias is a well documented phenomenon, and we have sure had a bad run. Bigger picture, you have failed to repay our Covid sacrifice. Subconsciously, that says to me you don’t respect us.

The @NZWarriors making the top 4 (after 15th last year and being gutted by Covid) is arguably the best achievement in the nrl in a decade No matter what happens from here, we are set up well for 2024 and beyond Take time to enjoy that today, we can think about finals later 🍻

This loss is the end of a good story. The turnaround is remarkable and I now have confidence in management. Our Cup team showed that the future is bright. Personally, this team and the community has thrown so much positive energy that at times I needed. The best is yet to come.

There is some hope Wayde Egan can play next week after initial assessments suggested “just” some cracked teeth after this tackle. Nasty contact with plenty of force, lucky to not suffer facial fracture. Thankfully it is rare for players to miss time with dental injuries.

The biggest shock for me yesterday was Paully Roache’s performance. On what I’d seen in Cup I just didn’t think he’d stand up to long minutes at 9 in FG. He was awesome (37 tackles) and proved me wrong. However, doing it week in/out is another step altogether.

In a way, I’m glad we lost that. The club needs a total rebuild, and papering over that with a few wins at home wouldn’t have helped. It’s easy to blame Covid, but I hope management know they’ve made some bad calls in the last 2.5 years, even if they don’t say it. Bring on 2023

Why I’m down on the warriors rn: 1. Game model. We offer a low complexity, low power/yardage model. Defensive system dysfunctional. 2. Selections. Rookie OBs that were never going to be ready. 3. Cohesion. Turning over roster mid season (again). 4. Comms. We aren’t stupid guys.

We lost this game because we only had 4 middles. We only had 4 middles because we have 5 middles out injured and no others that are first grade ready. Once our starters got fatigue and saints brought on 3 fresh middles the game was over. Simple as that.
