Serves me right for watching the Warriors ...
Was thinking the same, as good as they’ve gone this year I haven’t watched many games…. When I have it hasn’t been pretty.
A bit like my club side this year actually.
I should just stop watching.
I blame you

@Donsteppa said in NRL 2023:
A throwback performance from the Warriors tonight. After they got the first five penalties in the match, it's hard to blame too much other than themselves for being 22 - 6 down.
It’s a weird one.
Firstly, the Bunnies have been exceptionally good in these conditions.
Warriors started well, without setting the world on fire, then got progressively worse as the game wore on. I don’t think that’s due to lack of heart as was the case in previous years, more just one of those off games, when the harder you try, the more things don’t go your way.

Hate how refs in NRL refer to player's names.
Refer to "Green 6", or "Blue 7". Grrr
Mates call each other by first names. And Ashley definitely wasn't our mate
Warriors lose due to refs ... normal service resumes ...
We didn't seem to be on our game. But the ref gave Souths a helping hand, which they took advantage of

Warriors lost because they played poorly, and South’s played bloody well.
The refs were absolutely fluffybunnies though.

They missed a clear forward pass in set of 6 leading to try. I thought the charge down rule was ok as DW had a second reaction to grab at ball ( though it would have hit his hand anyway ) but the 10 mins for FB was inconsistent with prior rulings. At least one South’s was as clear as FB but generally I think the rulings in league are crap as they allow too much leniency for falling players with the two on one tackle which is so crucial to the league game. Rugby has it better. You can’t just allow swinging arms to connect with heads of falling players which is what South’s were penalised for but with no sin binnings.

So we can’t play in wet weather….
Far out we had chance after chance in that first half. Not good enough tonight.

The bandwagon I was trying to get on has disappeared into the distance. Far out of sight now.
On my Facebook feed there are some posts going on about how bad the ref was. I don't know enough to comment on the ref. That is except to say that the Warriors did not lose due to the ref. They lost because they kept making mistakes and the Rabbitohs barely made any.
