Love seeing the bros giving Klown a big up your wahs (with a sneaky one bottom-right for his horse), although it was Butler in the box that pulled out the clutch special season ending calls. It would be nice if all teams get their turn to cop the rub of the green and even better if Annusley's merry men were accountable rather than accosted.

Does Holbrook get coach of the year ??

Well Benji won 5 of the first 7.

But yes Holbrook should win it by the length of the flemmington home straight

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Don't know why they would give it to Webster ahead of Holbrook, a coach who has taken them from the spoon to contenders, while the Wahs have had 2 home finals and have shit the bed at the most crucial end of the season.

Wah, 😢 Wah, 😢, Wah 😢

I thought it was done on regular season games, hence warriors finished second from missing finals,
I don't agree but I dont think semi final results count

As much of a muppet Klein is, that was poor form by the Wah's fans. A full can thrown from height can knock out or or even kill someone.

It's becoming apparent that the bunker should have the power to review all situations when the refs decision is incorrect. There was a blatant escort and Klein got it wrong.

Very very poor from the Wahs fans and a bad way to end their season.

Theyre usually very easy going and good natured after a loss...a few bad apples can smear them all.

We went to the 03 GF when roosters beat them and I was surprised leaving the ground most warriors fans were in good spirits

Tough way to end the year ...klein cant not just make it about him

 

[NT_Tiger]

That’s a genuine risk isn’t it.

Wouldn’t want to upset them over there.

It will be funny if a sudden new consistency in Kleins calls arrives when he starts officiating over there, and the bunker will have to be just that, meter thick concrete on all sides.

A really disappointing end to the season for Warriors. They had the GF in their sights. It is incredibly hard to make a GF let alone win one the reason it drives me nuts when people call ours a fluke/lucky. Any team that makes it and wins one have worked their rings off and no one knows that better than the players and coaches. The fans may feel the emotion but for the players/coach who built the season to get to that point and fail - devastating.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

And this year, they still have Brown, Saifiti and Mooney out

That’s nothing. We were missing KPP and Taylan at the backend of the season. Wonder how KPP is feeling watching his old team.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

The game wasn’t ruined. The better team won. The more deserving team on the day won.
You can not rely on referee decisions and piggybacks to win the game for you.
People are crying over those 3 calls. For mine only the dropped ball called a strip was iffy. The other two were correct.

The deflection was inconclusive. So the bunker was obliged to go with the refs call.

 

[happy_tiger]

Yeah I thought Newcastle where the better side for the last 55 minutes
Better side won and probably should of won by 13+

Benji will get the participation award otherwise it will be discriminatory not get something.

Lucky we don't have these devastating moments.

Lucky we don't have these devastating moments.

A long time between drinks

 

[Flippedy]

Lucky we don't have these devastating moments.

Indeed our whole season is usually devastating!

I actually though Klein reffed better than any other game this year.

Both teams strengths and weaknesses were exposed. Knights weak in the middle but good goal line D. Wahs strong in the middle with horrible red zone attack.

Weak edge D by Warriors and good mid field attack by Knights.

The scoreline reflected the performance of both teams.

Klein actually reffed amazing, didn't get involved and let the teams decide.

Couple of calls from Bunker, but again, it's a grey game.

DCE, bar his debut season, has played his entire career without us making the finals.

For the most part he was good bar the clanger at the end....hes been much much better than Gee and its reflected in the games

 

[innsaneink]

What odds a knights dolphins GF?

That would be good to see

 

[Halbrowne61]

Just remember the Knights had avpretty bad injury toll last year

Sounds familiar but do we have the coach, or the resolve, to reinvent ourselves in 27 ?
