Their chances of making the finals were alive for almost the entire season despite a horror injury toll, some key mid-season departures and no home games in two years.
They won three of seven at their adopted Gosford home base before the competition shifted to Queensland, winning three of eight total games from that point on - at Suncorp Stadium in round 20, Cbus Super Stadium in round 21 and Redcliffe in round 22.The Warriors' failure to make the finals or take a single win away from the top seven teams was heavily impacted by their struggles to contain opposition yardage.
Part of that is around their attack but a much more significant component is their defence, with the Warriors leaking far more tries in the second 20 minutes of each half. They scored just 12 however, ranking them equal 11th best. Five of those came from inside 10 infringements and seven from ruck infringements.The Warriors maintained their reputation as one of the more prolific offloading sides in the NRL in 2021, with their fourth straight season as one of the top four offloading sides in the competition.
NZWarriors So much for the Top 30 that you have to register before the deadline. I've no problem with the Warriors getting an exemption but the Broncos?
NZWarriors They deserve to play a whole season at home!
