Match 2024 NRL Round 1 New Zealand Warriors v Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 7:50 pm Friday 8 March @ Go Media Stadium, Auckland

[Western Sharkie]

I was a bit disappointed with some of Katoa’s options tonight.
there are a few plays/decisions he would like over again

 

[Born&bred]

Didn't watch the game as I was out. Followed it all online. How did Trindall go?

 

[HaroldBishop]

Can anyone explain when you can and can't attempt to bat back the ball? **** I'm confused.

I think the key will be to get good purchase on the ball, if you try it and miss, you are open to the new interpretation of the rule (of borking or whatever the **** they’ve called it)
If you get a good piece of the pill, you are safe!
Thats my take anyway

Based on that call on us I currently can’t.
Could argue he wasn’t looking at it but I don’t know where that is part of a rule. Can’t tell me he didn’t genuinely attempt to bat it back.

Not really fair to say someone didn’t genuinely attempt something just because they missed though. Need to clarify the rules and how they will decide intent.

 

[Sludge]

An opening round win away (overseas) against a team with momentum. We weren’t at our best but for a cobweb blower and considering previous round 1 results over the last 10 odd years it doesn’t get much better.

Yeah I really don't understand it. There was one or two others that seemed similar to Will's that weren't pinged.

 

[Greg86]

I love how confident warriors fans were heading into it

plus all the commentators and expert tipsters!

 

[HaroldBishop]

Most in here tipped the Warriors

 

[HaroldBishop]

Super gutsy win but FMD we continue to make it hard for ourselves. Really can't keep happening if we want to finish top 4.

 

[The Punisher]

Most in here tipped the Warriors

Know i did

 

[Greg86]

Most in here tipped the Warriors

Yeah I wasn’t confident and especially after 15mins but what a win

 

[The Punisher]

What happened to McInnes?

 

[XGinga]

I'm the only one that tipped sharks in my family comp of 8 and only one in the top 10 in my cash comp of around 80

 

[bort]

What happened to McInnes?

What prompted this question?

Solid game... Both him and Nicho struggled to get too involved in attack.

His defence has gotten even better. Had some okay touches but our chances were few and far between

 

[bort]

Yep solid is best I can give him

Won’t hold the DWZ high shot against him, one kick in particular we really needed an extra 10 or 20 he should have been capable of, but in the scheme of things that was pretty minimal

 

[apezza]

Know i did

I'm 0 from 4 so far!
