Really deflating performance. Feel this has just provided more questions and problems regarding what is our best lineup rather than answers. A perfect opportunity to bank a result at home in favorable circumstances blown. Mt Smart should be the toughest road trip in the comp for visiting teams, it didn't feel like that with this game tigers weathered the initial 10 minute flurry and never looked like losing.
Laban best on field. Boys looked tired. Unforced errors. Tannah was always skipping the line probing but no one following him. Metcalfe too soon? Im going to look at this in hoping this is our shit performance and we bounce back for a big game against the sharks and the game im most anticipating all regular season storm in Melbourne. Tough two games on road... wahs all day even on a bad day!
Reading this after Saturday's first match, I don't feel so bad now with Newcastle getting over the Bulldogs!
We were sloppy throughout and in the second half often lacked intensity in our runs. Possibly fatigue after big efforts in the previous games, and I agree that could explain why Ford output was below his earlier efforts.
Definitely Clarks worst performance in a Warriors jersey and Leka's too I thought, but I'm confient both players will bounce back.
One thing that was noticable at the ground was the size difference across the park between the two sides. This seemed to me the biggest Tigers team I've seen in years and last night they just outmuscled us. They also showed a resilience we don't normally associate with them and thoroughly deserved the win.
I always hate losing, but sometimes you need a loss to stay grounded. The measure of how good we really are will be evident in how we turn up next week.

Would be interesting to add a coach rating for Webby to this, I feel like he might have had a poor week if you did!
