Warriors miss out on playoffs yet again
‘‘We threw it away.’’
A gutted Warriors coach Andrew McFadden said his team threw away their game against the Tigers yesterday, while accusing Aaron Woods of milking a crucial penalty.
The Warriors lost 36-24 in Auckland to end any hope of making the finals and did so in the most disappointing manner, conceding three tries in the last nine minutes.
McFadden was still looking shell-shocked at his press conference 30 minutes after the game and didn’t pull any punches in his disappointment of how his team played, or two controversially disallowed tries.
‘‘We just threw it away, to be honest,’’ McFadden said.
‘‘Tonight’s performance was on the back of the last couple, just too many errors. Gave away soft points and couldn’t peg them back.’’
