2023 NRL Round 5 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks v New Zealand Warriors @ Pointsbet Stadium Sunday 2nd April @ 4:05pm

Warriors played almost perfect footy in the second half, we made too many mistakes, but understandable in the rain. Don’t think we can take too much more from it.

So they played perfect footy but we made mistakes in the rain?

 

[jocktheshark]

We need to start putting more pressure on the oppositions kicker , clearly we're not too worried about but SJ got free rein and that IS when he's dangerous , doesn't do pressure but we let run the game .

 

[jocktheshark]

They did play pretty well.
We win if we halve those mistakes though. It was too many and we did it to ourselves.

Problem is we do it every game , it has become a habit , players need to start getting honest with themselves and teammates .

 

[Walley_01]

I was at the game but can someone say what that penalty was for against Moyza?

Which penalty?

The second half he had an age to kick and once he got momentum and his confidence spiked away he goes.

 

[Sharkfox]

A fresh forward on the bench would've been handy instead of trindall just sitting there all game, or shouldve just thrown in start of second half for a stint

The second half he had an age to kick and once he got momentum and his confidence spiked away he goes.

And if any club should know he is a confidence player it is us , he got a free pass today . But we don't pressure the kicker much in any game .

Wish he played any games for us with that passion and effort
Happy to take our money when warriors threw him on his arse

I honestly don’t think fatigue in the forwards hurt us there, a forward from deeper down the depth charts (presumably for a reason) just dilutes minutes from those above.

In saying that I wouldn’t have minded Nut coming on for 10-15. I just don’t think not having that was a big issue in the scheme of things

 

[Sharkfox]

Wilton or Someone on that left side shouldve put on a big hit on SJ, he was given too much time

That’s a 1%’er, and that’s supposedly what Finucane and McInnes are all about.

 

[Jaz]

For a supposed good team we sure lost to a lot of **** ones.

If we accept the same team we are accepting the same results.

Miss Luke Lewis in that department! He was a weapon

 

[sharksandwich]

I hate the sunday timeslot especially a loss. Its a filthy start to the week.

Tbf Warriors have t been a **** team this season. They’ve been at least okay, perhaps better than that

 

[Sparkles]

We are back to the John Morris era with our last 6-8 games ..

SJ said he was back in the Morris era too tonight

Rather give Hazelton a run, than just keep a back on the bench and never use him, did that with Tracey, its a waste of a bench spot.

 

[Tank]

Gotta say thats probably our worst meltdown in years....Awful...We really cant defend

Fair. But any half okay team punishes the amount of errors we made tonight.

Exactly, even Bukuya would come up with some big hits
