The funny thing is , if you hear them ringing up radio sport , that is pretty much how they sound

I agree with the sack everyone bloke, including the fucking mascot.

Fullback/wing Zac Santo has been released by the Raiders and joins the Warriors. Tui Lolohea has been released by the Warriors and now joins the Tigers.

@Sneakdefreak what's this guy like sneak? Will he be an upgrade on Tui who I thought was talented?

A win's a win even if it's against a half-strength Broncos outfit.
Some thoughts:
- A good game to watch if you like smashed'em bro. Not a game to watch if you hate poor passing.
- Watching it live, you realise how important Mannering is to both attack and defence. Every play he is involved.
- In the first half I came to the conclusion that it's time to either trade or release Isaac Luke from the last year of his contract. He's too slow and the Warriors need speed around the ruck area to keep momentum. Roache/Tevaga combo in 2018.
- Not long after I came to this conclusion, Luke does a dummy half run, makes a break and sets up Maumalo for the try.
- Maumalo is also too slow.
- One guy who doesn't lack speed is James Robert. But thankfully he lacks courage when under fire. Dropped the ball a few times due to pressure from the defenders. No wonder he wasn't picked for Origin.
- Great try by Gavet that was set up by a rampaging Matulino. One of the Broncos forwards (Glenn?) was left hurting and couldn't get back on the goalline to stop Gavet.
- Liking Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad more and more. A very smart footballer, quick, and confident when under pressure.
- Saw Tui Lolohea after the game talking to David Fusitua. Seems pretty happy that he's moving on.

Is there anything more predictable than the Warriors winning against an origin-depleted side?
And then being talked up as "back in the hunt"?
Same shit, new year

Kiwis name new captain: Adam Blair. The press conference was more about bad culture and infighting within NZRL.

Kidwell is way in over his head.
Also, Jesse Bromwich is appearing (to me at least) to be a bit of a c*nt.

Best quarter of rugby league in years
-
Hayne with some magic and then undone by some dumb attack.
Bang QLD make them pay.
