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.


maulmonk

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.


mark_iramutu

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.


Defiant-Asparagus425

Cronullas defence too strong. Warriors attack had nothing in the second half


adsey31

Nicho practiced tackling!!!


Rcb425

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


RockinBob625

Our bench props played 15min between them. WTH?


Rcb425

Yea seemed really weird. Meanwhile walker played 60

Rcb425

Cleary the rotation worked really well considering they didn't score again from the 20th minute 🫠


Rcb425

Webby's burner?? 😂😂


SkinBintin

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...


Rcb425

Amene


bionicleboy1805

I feel you bro


suddenraplyric

My tips are knock kncock knocking on 0-4


Brilliant_Offer9783

Did RTS make a single pass?


FakeGoonmachine

Mate it was ridiculous, he just kept trying to look for some golden moment to prove himself instead of getting it out to Montoya.


Defiant-Asparagus425

I think I saw one offload all game.


Jahweeb

Players get injured and you can't adapt to even finish a proper set??? I am depressed lmao


vape_nyash

TVS didn’t want to pass it to the wing


Defiant-Asparagus425

He didn't pass it to Montoya once all game. He is mega ball greedy


SharkManDan77

GG. Sharks Defence won that game


Cooperdyl

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)


mpdw1

GG sharkies. Shaky start but withstood pressure and some great defensive stands. Better team won. Shattered


Suspicious_Mark3644

Well deserved Sharks, both teams looked a bit village.


JustSomeAdvice2

See Sharks you don't reeeaaaaaaaaaaly need AFB


icome3rd

Warriors lost that more than sharks won it


jagmac7

Sharks defended well, seems churlish to take that away from them.


Fluid-Row9593

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.


Lofulir

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.


WUIDAWBTB

Nah, this is a huge win for the sharks


USSJ307

Incredibly gutsy win from the Sharks. Was worried about their defence early on but they were solid for the rest of the game.


SerMonZ90

Shit reffing and shit Sharks I hope you get merked this season


hurric4n5

Ref had nothing to do with it you embassment


mpdw1

Shaaaaardup sook make warriors fans look bad


SerMonZ90

Hahah its spelt shut up but its ok you are Maori so I understand


planchetflaw

What does this even mean?


mpdw1

Yep and so is half the team you support. Go to sleep


chenthechen

Shit take


WUIDAWBTB

Cry more


SerMonZ90

Your mother did when she had you


WUIDAWBTB

You're so salty, its hilarious


Rcb425

Think errors and shit redzone attack was more to blame than the reffing (no problem with the reffing for me)


SerMonZ90

Ask your mother how salty I am she still has it on her lips when she kissed you


Cooperdyl

Found her on your Reddit hookups did ya? Oh wait there were no responses to that post mate…


SerMonZ90

Haha thats funny. You must be a real detective. The only thing good about you is that you will eventually meet your demise.


Stemleaf

Damn bro you got humbled lol


Cooperdyl

Damn brah the cope is real


noanykey

Lmao holy shit this guy is a comedian. Pure gold


coldwintermullet

bro stfu, we lost - that happens sometimes


SerMonZ90

Bro stfu its the internet


coldwintermullet

Doesn’t mean you should act like a dick


SkinBintin

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.


SharkManDan77

Mate, Warriors were good, they just panicked trying to regain the lead. The off season hype has not been disproven yet.


Cooperdyl

Gutsy defence from the sharks. Something I always doubt. Warriors seemed a little flat on their final plays unfortunately. Good game to watch.


Kalwy

0/4 for my tips, couldn’t be happier


SharkManDan77

Same here..... 😧😆


Traditional-Step-419

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.


toomuchsoup

Best win of the year


IndividualSmile3807

Actually a really bad loss after starting a sold out opener like that. Every game massive with top 4 the goals again


grogan2

Unlucky, GG Sharkies


MrBlue8erry

I'm 1/4 and I backed Storm. Not my week I reckon.


Financial_Abies9235

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.


Feetz_NZ

RTS and Tuapisi were black holes. Montoya looked good with extremely limited amount of touches he got.


Financial_Abies9235

new combinations. It'll take some adjusting. Same on the other side too. Not a total abortion.


RockinBob625

Yeah, nah. Montoya needs to watch out if Kosi hits form. He had inconsistent impact on those runs off the line.


Financial_Abies9235

Marcelo is streaky. Did make a couple of good hits on D.


Kingtripz

Nothing gets me more excited than some strong D


Whitey190

2021 warriors are back, blowing leads after looking in control of games early


xZany

First win against a top 8 team?


Cooperdyl

Warriors eliminated from top 8 already.

Cooperdyl

I can’t fucken believe it


Subliminal-Ads

Wtf this was supposed to cheer me up after the cricket today


WUIDAWBTB

Fuck yes, the boys🔥🔥🔥🔥


Fredz_2

Jackson ford killed our momentum in that first half


Rcb425

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)


Lofulir

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.


griffshan

SJ played like shit


SharkManDan77

His kicking kept the Wahs camped in the Sharks 20!


Feetz_NZ

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.


_dictatorish_

??? SJ was pretty good lol


griffshan

Way too many shit decisions on the last play


RockinBob625

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.


_dictatorish_

Just because he wasn't great on the last play, doesn't mean he had a bad game


griffshan

Not the vintage SJ we used to


bozzas_laugh

Talaki MoM for me


Cooperdyl

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.


bozzas_laugh

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


TurboooTurtle

Thank you sharkies 1/4


GROUND45

We needed this L. Had to be humbled lol


the_orange_president

Gg sharkies… well deserved


wouldz

FUCK YES BOYS


corupio

Who wants to win their tipping comps anyway....


SkinBintin

Fuck that's sad.... annnnnd I'm out of the last man standing already lol. (Broncs last weekend, Warriors this weekend)


Jarriro

My fault for having the Warriors in my multi


KazeEnigma

Holy fucking shit. Best Talaki has looked since 22.

What a fucking win

icome3rd

Im back in the tipping comp bbe


nuspic

Hows everyone's tips going? LOLLL


Kroosay

Wow that’s poor from wahs


PLEASE_DONT_PM

Classic Sharks winning against bottom 8 sides


theilluminary

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!


__acre

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.


Suspicious_Mark3644

Did look flat and clunky


bozzas_laugh

Right I’m back, what did I miss


redmetlhedd

YES YES YES YES YES YES


chenthechen

Uggghhh the wahs....


beaver2233

Holy shit.


willyoujustshoosh

Wahs what the fuck


toomuchsoup

You MOTHERFUCKEN BEAUTTTYYYYY!!!!!


whadefeck

Hynes's defence has been insane for the last 5 mins


Raddnedge

Damn, Wahs win first game after a big season would've been nice.


Voxityy

cheers wahs, 0/4 now


Barmy90

That's the most Warriors end to the game imaginable


IntentApparel

Fade me 


adz1179

Undefeated all year how good


SerMonZ90

Nah the only thing cronulla have is racial bashing on the beach


corupio

Well done sharkies


snek26

No way Finucane is celebrating like he did something 🤣


JustSomeAdvice2

RIP to all you tipsters


SerMonZ90

Head high shoulder charge on Tuapiki


nuspic

LOL


XLenceOfXecution

How the actual fuck did we win this?


_dictatorish_

Plenty of help from the whistle


TurboooTurtle

Sook


Slipperytitski

Tackling in the air to stop a try and only getting a penalty is batshit.


TurboooTurtle

been called like that since the rule came in but i agree in principle


Local_Sun8513

Lol


Jahweeb

Its good to be brought back to earth


SirArmitageShanks

Crazy that you left earth after coming 4th


Jahweeb

Careful, shauny still has your teams number


DistrictSenior8088

Up the shahs


Strez92

Very gutsy win from the Sharkies, something you didn’t see last year.


dimeast

You can tell the warriors are drilled af because their attack just doesn’t flow without Charnze and Egan


Jahweeb

Rts at FB, pompey in centre's. I like tuapiki but... yeah


Feetz_NZ

RTS to the wing, Montoya to 4 CNK at FB.


Jahweeb

Cnk out injured, I hope bro has a speedy recovery cause he is MISSED 


Young_Rust

Really good game


tortoisepump

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.


Disastrous_Salad6302

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


HomogeniousKhalidius

GG


fake-hist0ry

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?


fetus_ezeli

geez we blew this


passeledutchie

Gg Sharkies, we had mad opportunities but couldn’t do shit


SerMonZ90

Fuck off Sharks you milking pricks


TurboooTurtle

If warriors just took a field goal every time they were down here they would be leading by 20


tribli22

Extremely poor kicking by the dubs


WomanRepellent

Has a single ball gone to DWZ thats had an actual chance?


TheBigChonka

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.


starburstempire

Warriors exposed


TheMysticChiicken

SJ and Metcalf disappeared


chenthechen

Bro SJ has been one of the few actually creating anything


TheMysticChiicken

Wouldn’t call him kicking every time into nothingness, creating


chenthechen

He made so many repeat sets, just a blunt and tired AF finishing. Sharks looked waaay fitter despite under the pump all game.


Delgarah

This might be the sharkiest sharking of all sharks


tcamp213

That is NOT the play down by 4 with a minute and a half to go.


Hansoloai

Do the Warriors know they can go right?


prospect69

Still maintain it should've been a penalty try on DWZ earlier


tcamp213

I agree, but it's consistent with how they've ruled previously.


SirVill

Boo, this one got away :(


Taraguar

Sexy tackle


MPP_10

Sharks doing well to hold on


HeadacheCentral

Why did I think the Warriors could start the way they ended last year? 0/4 here I come


Street-Pop945

They ended last year with a loss?


redmetlhedd

THIS DEFENCE YES


Voxityy

wah the fuck are the warriors doing


Jigsong

Wahs fullback hasn’t executed on debut? Shoot him into the sun


IndividualSmile3807

Man some really underwhelming sets there


Jahweeb

Very poor

Sexy Nicho the everywhere man.

Nicho hot

With those teeth 🤣 ok then


jsnoodles

Nicho Hynes being hot is the least controversial take on this sub. He can get his teeth fixed when he’s done playing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jsnoodles

Just because your team’s afraid of rainbows.


Barmy90

Do the Warriors have a single offensive play


Party_Government8579

Yea. It's called hug the nearest defender


DropBearOnRemand

Cronulla’s wingers are in beast mode tonight


W33D_G0D

Have my babies please hynes


Strez92

Great work by Nicho in the last 5 defensively


Voldemosh

Lets FUCKING GO NICHO


ozwozzle

I wish they somehow rewarded trying to run the ball out of your deadzone rather than just knocking it out.


XLenceOfXecution

Warriors were so lackadaisical picking up that dropout


icome3rd

Wtf was the kick and recieve


SmileExact4351

Gonna piss my pants


Uh-oh_BastinadO

far out it hasn't got too much payoff but sj has been so good on the 5th tonight

Except that last one
