Tigers coach Benji Marshall didn't sugarcoat his side's performance following their 20-point loss to the Warriors in Round 19.
In the post-match press conference, the 40-year-old thought that his men weren't up for the battle in the same way that the home side was.
"I thought we missed the mark physically today," he said.
"Last week we were there with good intent."

The Tigers got off to a promising start with an early try but quickly faded as the Warriors seized control.
"Maybe scoring a try early made it felt easier than it was," he said.
"We are just inconsistent with our games."
Marshall, in his second full season as head coach, acknowledged the mounting frustration surrounding the team's performances.
"You get tired of saying the same things," he said.
"We’re getting better, but there’s moments that need to improve.
"I guess that’s what’s frustrating.
"The more you lose, the more the pressure mounts and the more the conversations start about your role and your job."
But Marshall insisted he remains committed and motivated, despite the noise.
"The pressure is because you want the guys to do well," he said.
"The reason I do this job is because I want to turn the club around and I actually believe that I can."

"I feel like I’m saying my eulogy," he said.
"I’m good mate."
