    @Nepia see i thought Graham was okay. I liked his stance that as a player he doesn't give a shit unless it's performance enhancing. And that was in the face of the hosts badgering him to give the soundbite they wanted.

    For some reason it grates on me when they keep using "the game" and "our game" as this huge, all encompassing descriptor. I don't really know why, but it shits me for some reason. You are not trying to protect "the game" you are trying to protect the NRL and all the money it generates for all of you.

    If it wasn't for coke, and the NRL's ludicrous player trade rules, you piston wristed gibbons might actually have to work for a living, and find a genuine story.

    @mariner4life It was the underlying issues stuff that he kept going on about that annoyed me. That's bollocks. Young men out partying take drugs ... there doesn't have to be something underlying to it.

    Yeah the our game bullshit is just that. Those Fox shows (which I often find a good watch) don't give a shit about the sport, they only give a shit about NRL and origin.

    Warriors sign Gold Coast forward Leivaha Pulu. Manu Vatuvei is exploring other options and looks likely to leave the club at the end of the season.

    Cowboys with a rare win in Sydney without JT, easily taking care of the Bulldogs.

    Meanwhile, Ben Barba looks like getting sacked by Toulon. Greenburgh throwing up roadblocks for an immediate NRL return, which i guess means the Roosters can't afford him...

    Looks like Mannering is out with injury- Matulino in at lock. Manu might be back as well in favour of Maumalo.

    Warriors have blown a 22 point lead and look totally out on their feet. Not fit enough perhaps.

    What the fuck is happening here?? With a gazillion point lead about half an hour ago I surrendered the TV to Paw Patrol and Dora, and it looks like the Warriors started watching them too...

    A shocking 2nd half. No respect for the ball and some matador defence to go with it.

    The Warriors (like the Kiwis) lose the tackle contest and have slow play the balls, have runners consistently hitting the ball behind the advantage line, and have the worst kicking game in the competition. Until they get those basics right they will always stuggle even when they have incrediblely talented players. How do you look lose a game when you are 22 points up? Worst of all they were gone after 60 minutes. For a professional sports team they were terrible. The worst performance ever.

    So we took a day off the farm to go to Taupo and just chill.

    Fine food, fine wine and because I happened to turn on tv we had fine comedy.

    What a hoot those warriors are

    Every team has a game like that, but Warriors fans must expect them. There's something horribly wrong with the culture of the club. So many players just look lazy and disinterested.
