    Suncorp Stadium's playing surface is being replaced days out from Magic Round, after being left damaged by three matches in three days. #Suncorp #MagicRound #NRL #sport #turf #replace #SuncorpStadium...

    Been interesting this week watching NRL fans and commentators speed running through what feels like 6 years of the same shit rugby has been trying to sort out in about 3 days. Penalties are too high for innocuous or accidental head shots. No consistency. The Bunker isn't helping. The Bunker is making it worse. Why are they allowed to go backwards and rule on old things?

    The AFL have had their own piece of concussion paranoid stupidity this week as well.

    The collision football codes have got real problems on their hands. NRL fans are pissed. Rugby fans used to be pissed but they have been gaslit in to believing in this shit now.

    i cannot wait until the about turn this weekend for magic round. I reckon you'll have to flat out punch someone to get binned.

    Haven’t been around to hear any of the bin-athon fall out. Personally don’t think it swings completely the other way this week. Consistency has been horrendous though. Think they continue with medium and direct force to the head, just not going back two sets to find it.

    Hope the rain stays away from magic round, could have an impact on a few results though

    The Suncorp field is cutting up already in the first 5 minutes of the first game of the weekend.

    Will be a bloody mess by the end of this game, hate to think what it will be like after 8 games.

    Also, Daly is definitely picking Teddy for Origin

    Warriors 28-12 at half time.
    Pompey gets an intercept try right on half time.

    That’s an impressive 40 from the Warriors, especially in the wet, only a couple of errors I can remember.

    Metcalf running more and carving up.

    This is the Wahs though, so definitely not comfortable yet.

    Bloody hell.

    The Warriors are no good for the ticker.

    Cowboys played a blinder in the second half.

    Warriors were on the ropes, holding on to a 4 point lead with 15 to go and despite a few bounces of the ball that didn’t go their way, they showed plenty of ticker and hung on for the win 30-26

    Fuck 🤯

    Absolutely, but the ticker in the last 15 is definitely new Warriors, not classic Warriors.

    Don’t underestimate the Berry injury, one of our better defenders, his ongoing hammy issue forced the backline reshuffle and Drinky showed his class to keep going back to exploit.
    Well done warriors for even hanging on

    A bunch of players due to return in the next few weeks; RTS, JFH, DWZ. No need to bring the two backs into the side as starters in a hurry

    After Vegas and the smashing by the Storm, who would have thought we could be in this position? If we can profit during the Origin period we can put ourselves deep into playoff contention

    Points differential needs work but keep winning and you’re always in with a shout

    Yowser, though they were going to run us down.

    I think I'm even more amazed at how we're going this season than 2023.

    Especially after the start of the season. Also on paper the team didn't look that good. But JFH has been a serious leader at training and the young boys have followed his lead. Plus other guys like Erin Clark have exceeded expectations. I'm pleasantly surprised

    If they want to get serious about winning more close games, I think they have to give goal kicking duties to someone else. Metcalf is super sketchy, Tuapiki did a better job when he kicked, albeit with a small sample size
