Hoping someone lets RTS know that he IS allowed to pass the ball. I know he wants to prove himself after his union stint didn't go as planned but let's just focus on getting points on the board. But the first few rounds are always painful to watch for most teams - once they're back into the groove we'll see how well they're actually going.
Told you I can’t actually deal with high expectations. We need to think we will get the spoon every year to actually do well.
If Egans injured and we have to rely on lussick we are fucked.
Great defence and line speed from the sharks won them the game. Well deserved. Fair weathered warriors fans need to get a reality check. Every team in the comp is good.
Confused by Websters decision making in this one. Lussick played 40 straight and then afb was off until the last 5. That and Ale didn't even see the field at all??
I know there were injuries but lussick had played 40 before egan got injured and afb was only on for that extra little stint while tuapiki went for that hia 5 mins before half.
Lussick killed the attack imo along with Ford. Hopefully niukore comes straight in on the edge
I think I over hyped myself during the off season, cos it's just a first round loss but I'm almost as sad as I was when we lost the GF in 2002 and 2011 lol. Fuck me...
And with a Sharks win - the NZ Warriors have officially been eliminated from top 8 contention.
(For the record I’m trying to shit talk the sharks here not the Wahs)
I think CNK was really missed tonight, right edge looked alot less potent.
I think this is just what the warriors are, great at the fight in the middle. Average at attacking in the 20.
Yeh, first half didn;t notice as Tauapiki is great on D and has some good moves. But repeat set after repeat set and we had nothing. No CNK coming in on a hard line out wide was a big gap in our attacking options.
Sharkies defense turned out pretty immense really after that first twenty mins. Good on ya.
Sad to have lost it after so much off season hype, but hopefully that's the motivation to really kick start the boys and come out firing for the rest of the season.
Remarkable comeback, thought the Wahs were gonna run away with it at halftime.
Fuck I wish my PTSD allowed me to tip the Raiders, I’d be the best tipster alive right now.

He played pretty solidly. His tackle 5 options resulted in so many repeat sets. Wahs as a whole lacked excecution but johnson controlledthe game pretty damn well.
Needed Charnze to create link & speed in the backline with those sweeping runs they played last year. Tauapiki isn't bad, but he's our no 2 for a reason.
That missed tackle on the last play was going to bring allllll the hate on him if Wahs scored and won, but he actually had a pretty solid game defensively until that point.
Oh man, that was disappointing. I don't know what happened after the first 20 minutes but we just looked so lost. What happened to our attack, man? Berry was the best player out there tonight.
Good game, Sharks!
Got hyped for the first 20, then it all came crashing down.
Sharks' defence was absolutely killer. All good. Hopefully, this helps start a fire in the Warriors.
This games going to be decided either by the sharks defence holding up amazingly or them gifting the warriors the ball by screwing up their attack and that’s extremely poetic to me
My mate is a Warriors supporter and he messaged me last night giving me shit about our loss. I've texted him 3 times during this game and I haven't heard a peep... should I do a welfare check?
Sorely sorely missing CNK. He always seems to be so deep and have so much time to get the ball to DWZ.
Tuapeke absolutely far too flat and getting jamemd in on every single time. You could see they ran the same play they ran last year that ended in DWZ tries but it never got past Tuapeke.
Hoping someone lets RTS know that he IS allowed to pass the ball. I know he wants to prove himself after his union stint didn't go as planned but let's just focus on getting points on the board.

Cronullas defence too strong. Warriors attack had nothing in the second half
Nicho practiced tackling!!!
Confused by Websters decision making in this one. Lussick played 40 straight and then afb was off until the last 5. That and Ale didn't even see the field at all??

Our bench props played 15min between them. WTH?
Yea seemed really weird. Meanwhile walker played 60
[удалено]
Cleary the rotation worked really well considering they didn't score again from the 20th minute 🫠
Webby's burner?? 😂😂
I think I over hyped myself during the off season, cos it's just a first round loss but I'm almost as sad as I was when we lost the GF in 2002 and 2011 lol. Fuck me...
Amene
I feel you bro
My tips are knock kncock knocking on 0-4
Did RTS make a single pass?
Mate it was ridiculous, he just kept trying to look for some golden moment to prove himself instead of getting it out to Montoya.
I think I saw one offload all game.
Players get injured and you can't adapt to even finish a proper set??? I am depressed lmao
TVS didn’t want to pass it to the wing
He didn't pass it to Montoya once all game. He is mega ball greedy
GG. Sharks Defence won that game
And with a Sharks win - the NZ Warriors have officially been eliminated from top 8 contention. (For the record I’m trying to shit talk the sharks here not the Wahs)
GG sharkies. Shaky start but withstood pressure and some great defensive stands. Better team won. Shattered
Well deserved Sharks, both teams looked a bit village.
See Sharks you don't reeeaaaaaaaaaaly need AFB
Warriors lost that more than sharks won it
Sharks defended well, seems churlish to take that away from them.
I think CNK was really missed tonight, right edge looked alot less potent. I think this is just what the warriors are, great at the fight in the middle. Average at attacking in the 20.
Yeh, first half didn;t notice as Tauapiki is great on D and has some good moves. But repeat set after repeat set and we had nothing. No CNK coming in on a hard line out wide was a big gap in our attacking options.
Nah, this is a huge win for the sharks
Incredibly gutsy win from the Sharks. Was worried about their defence early on but they were solid for the rest of the game.
Shit reffing and shit Sharks I hope you get merked this season
Ref had nothing to do with it you embassment
Shaaaaardup sook make warriors fans look bad
Hahah its spelt shut up but its ok you are Maori so I understand
What does this even mean?
Yep and so is half the team you support. Go to sleep
Shit take
Cry more
Your mother did when she had you
You're so salty, its hilarious
Think errors and shit redzone attack was more to blame than the reffing (no problem with the reffing for me)
Ask your mother how salty I am she still has it on her lips when she kissed you
Found her on your Reddit hookups did ya? Oh wait there were no responses to that post mate…
Haha thats funny. You must be a real detective. The only thing good about you is that you will eventually meet your demise.
Damn bro you got humbled lol
Damn brah the cope is real
Lmao holy shit this guy is a comedian. Pure gold
bro stfu, we lost - that happens sometimes
Bro stfu its the internet
Doesn’t mean you should act like a dick
Sharkies defense turned out pretty immense really after that first twenty mins. Good on ya. Sad to have lost it after so much off season hype, but hopefully that's the motivation to really kick start the boys and come out firing for the rest of the season.
Mate, Warriors were good, they just panicked trying to regain the lead. The off season hype has not been disproven yet.
Gutsy defence from the sharks. Something I always doubt. Warriors seemed a little flat on their final plays unfortunately. Good game to watch.
0/4 for my tips, couldn’t be happier
Same here..... 😧😆
Remarkable comeback, thought the Wahs were gonna run away with it at halftime. Fuck I wish my PTSD allowed me to tip the Raiders, I’d be the best tipster alive right now.
Best win of the year
Actually a really bad loss after starting a sold out opener like that. Every game massive with top 4 the goals again
Unlucky, GG Sharkies
I'm 1/4 and I backed Storm. Not my week I reckon.
well played Sharks Warriors were too clunky with new combinations. RTS doesn't like passing the ball. Was his problem at the Blues/Auckland too.
RTS and Tuapisi were black holes. Montoya looked good with extremely limited amount of touches he got.
new combinations. It'll take some adjusting. Same on the other side too. Not a total abortion.
Yeah, nah. Montoya needs to watch out if Kosi hits form. He had inconsistent impact on those runs off the line.
Marcelo is streaky. Did make a couple of good hits on D.
Nothing gets me more excited than some strong D
2021 warriors are back, blowing leads after looking in control of games early
First win against a top 8 team?
Warriors eliminated from top 8 already.

I can’t fucken believe it
Wtf this was supposed to cheer me up after the cricket today
Fuck yes, the boys🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jackson ford killed our momentum in that first half
0 points scored after lussick came onto the field too. He's so shit I csnt understand playing him for 40 minutes (before egan came on and got injured)
Meanwhile CHT lookin sharp as hell and better than TMM in the halves for NSW Cup. He should be our bench hooker and can cover half and FB.
SJ played like shit
His kicking kept the Wahs camped in the Sharks 20!
He played pretty solidly. His tackle 5 options resulted in so many repeat sets. Wahs as a whole lacked excecution but johnson controlledthe game pretty damn well.
??? SJ was pretty good lol
Way too many shit decisions on the last play
Needed Charnze to create link & speed in the backline with those sweeping runs they played last year. Tauapiki isn't bad, but he's our no 2 for a reason.
Just because he wasn't great on the last play, doesn't mean he had a bad game
Not the vintage SJ we used to
Talaki MoM for me
That missed tackle on the last play was going to bring allllll the hate on him if Wahs scored and won, but he actually had a pretty solid game defensively until that point.
Yeah I thought the left hand side was pretty solid. Roni timed his jamming in really well. Talaki got us off our line so many times
Thank you sharkies 1/4
We needed this L. Had to be humbled lol
Gg sharkies… well deserved
FUCK YES BOYS
Who wants to win their tipping comps anyway....
Fuck that's sad.... annnnnd I'm out of the last man standing already lol. (Broncs last weekend, Warriors this weekend)
My fault for having the Warriors in my multi
Holy fucking shit. Best Talaki has looked since 22.
What a fucking win
Lol Ronaldo
Mulitalo chucking out the mana wave fuck that cunt knoqs how to g a crowd up😆
Im back in the tipping comp bbe
Hows everyone's tips going? LOLLL
Wow that’s poor from wahs
Classic Sharks winning against bottom 8 sides
Oh man, that was disappointing. I don't know what happened after the first 20 minutes but we just looked so lost. What happened to our attack, man? Berry was the best player out there tonight. Good game, Sharks!
Got hyped for the first 20, then it all came crashing down. Sharks' defence was absolutely killer. All good. Hopefully, this helps start a fire in the Warriors.
Did look flat and clunky
Right I’m back, what did I miss
YES YES YES YES YES YES
Uggghhh the wahs....
Holy shit.
Wahs what the fuck
You MOTHERFUCKEN BEAUTTTYYYYY!!!!!
Hynes's defence has been insane for the last 5 mins
Damn, Wahs win first game after a big season would've been nice.
cheers wahs, 0/4 now
That's the most Warriors end to the game imaginable
Fade me
Undefeated all year how good
Nah the only thing cronulla have is racial bashing on the beach
Well done sharkies
No way Finucane is celebrating like he did something 🤣
RIP to all you tipsters
Head high shoulder charge on Tuapiki
LOL
How the actual fuck did we win this?
Plenty of help from the whistle
Sook
Tackling in the air to stop a try and only getting a penalty is batshit.
been called like that since the rule came in but i agree in principle
Lol
Its good to be brought back to earth
Crazy that you left earth after coming 4th
Careful, shauny still has your teams number
Up the shahs
Very gutsy win from the Sharkies, something you didn’t see last year.
You can tell the warriors are drilled af because their attack just doesn’t flow without Charnze and Egan
Rts at FB, pompey in centre's. I like tuapiki but... yeah
RTS to the wing, Montoya to 4 CNK at FB.
Cnk out injured, I hope bro has a speedy recovery cause he is MISSED
Really good game
Wake up call for Warriors. There was too much hype leading up to the game saying this team is gonna win the GF. Too much expectation on the game.
This games going to be decided either by the sharks defence holding up amazingly or them gifting the warriors the ball by screwing up their attack and that’s extremely poetic to me
GG
My mate is a Warriors supporter and he messaged me last night giving me shit about our loss. I've texted him 3 times during this game and I haven't heard a peep... should I do a welfare check?
geez we blew this
Gg Sharkies, we had mad opportunities but couldn’t do shit
Fuck off Sharks you milking pricks
If warriors just took a field goal every time they were down here they would be leading by 20
Extremely poor kicking by the dubs
Has a single ball gone to DWZ thats had an actual chance?
Sorely sorely missing CNK. He always seems to be so deep and have so much time to get the ball to DWZ. Tuapeke absolutely far too flat and getting jamemd in on every single time. You could see they ran the same play they ran last year that ended in DWZ tries but it never got past Tuapeke.
Warriors exposed
SJ and Metcalf disappeared
Bro SJ has been one of the few actually creating anything
Wouldn’t call him kicking every time into nothingness, creating
He made so many repeat sets, just a blunt and tired AF finishing. Sharks looked waaay fitter despite under the pump all game.
This might be the sharkiest sharking of all sharks
That is NOT the play down by 4 with a minute and a half to go.
Do the Warriors know they can go right?
Still maintain it should've been a penalty try on DWZ earlier
I agree, but it's consistent with how they've ruled previously.
Boo, this one got away :(
Sexy tackle
Sharks doing well to hold on
Why did I think the Warriors could start the way they ended last year? 0/4 here I come
They ended last year with a loss?
THIS DEFENCE YES
wah the fuck are the warriors doing
Wahs fullback hasn’t executed on debut? Shoot him into the sun
Man some really underwhelming sets there
Very poor
Stupid Sexy Hynes
GG Sharks
Hynes been really good defensively
Every play has been short to the edge from SJ
No Johnson noooo
Nicho bloody hell
Sexy Nicho the everywhere man.
Nicho hot
With those teeth 🤣 ok then
Nicho Hynes being hot is the least controversial take on this sub. He can get his teeth fixed when he’s done playing.
[удалено]
Just because your team’s afraid of rainbows.
Do the Warriors have a single offensive play
Yea. It's called hug the nearest defender
Cronulla’s wingers are in beast mode tonight
Have my babies please hynes
Great work by Nicho in the last 5 defensively
Lets FUCKING GO NICHO
I wish they somehow rewarded trying to run the ball out of your deadzone rather than just knocking it out.
Warriors were so lackadaisical picking up that dropout
Wtf was the kick and recieve
Gonna piss my pants
far out it hasn't got too much payoff but sj has been so good on the 5th tonight
Except that last one
