“It’s one of those that hurts, not so much in the context of the season, just to how many dumb things we saw, things that weren’t good enough, just weren’t NRL standard,” he said.

“Too many errors, too many errors around last plays particularly, poor one-on-one misses (tackles) for tries.

“It’s just not good enough,” Webster said. “I feel like we dropped out bundle.”

Webster’s side missed 31 tackles and made 15 errors but he said many of those mistakes came at critical times and the Warriors were unable to defend them.

“I didn’t see that resilience, I didn’t see us wanting to make those one-on-one tackles to save those tries,” he said.

Following their breakout top four performance in 2023, Webster’s first season as a head coach, not making the finals this season – despite an unfortunate injury toll – shaped as a major disappointment for the club.
