    @mariner4life Crazy game. Usually the Thursday matches are boring but both teams are missing their Origin players.

    some bloody good tries were scored.

    In the end the Storm managed to cut down their errors that were handing St George points, and the Dragons were buggered. Nightingale playing 50-odd minutes on the right edge, made 40 tackles, and was rooted. So of course the Storm sent a fuck ton of traffic his way.

    Although, it's irrelevant really, the Warriors are fucking awful.

    The wheels are starting to come off - the Warriors should have won against a team without Nathan Cleary or James Maloney.
    They are now facing Brisbane and Melbourne next, it's going to be a hellish few weeks.

    The Warriors big problem this season: they play too conservative against the top sides for large periods of the game. Live a little.

    I thought long and hard about tipping the Warriors this week. Happy i didn't but sad that it's clearly the start of something we are all too familiar with.

    Missed Harris tonight. He seems to keep Hiku, who was fucking horrible, interested.

    Johnson needs to run. Same story, different game. Just fucken run.

    Green needs to get his long kicking game going again. He was killing it early in the season but has gone off the boil. Didnt help. he played through a bit of an injury picked up in the 1st half.

    Too many guys playing reasonably well not to be winning these games. RTS, Luke, Maumalo(demon bringing it back and put in some agressive d) , Paasi, Kata, Blair all had fairly ok games tonight. That's alot of players going well and you'd think it would go some way to winning a game.

    Some pretty rubbish penalties given away and some line balls called forward which got our heads down. When we get that happening against us, the 50/50 calls, we go into our shell and just let the other team play their game.

    Please boys. Turn it the fuck around.

    Warriors, Broncos at 4pm. Warriors have named a strange bench with two centres, one hooker/backrower and a prop. Think Ligi Sao will be a late callup before kick off....

    3 PETA HIKU

    The Broncos are a very limited side, but i have zero confidence we will win this

    Injuries - more so the Tohu Harris injury. Shaun Johnson and Blake Green have also been quite quiet during the Origin period, they both need to step up in the home straight if we are to make the playoffs.

    The Warriors are wasteful so far. Poor hands, panicked no look passes, and poor ball retention. 4 - 0 to the Warriors after 24 minutes but it could be a lot more.

    That’s better! Johnson works it well to put Beale in.

    That was nice. Kahu could be blamed for coming but the deception did it.

    Ballsy of the Warriors to play Hiku on the wing outside Kata considering the formers defence woes of late and the latter being who he is. They may as well have just invested in an attack this side sign.

    Some helter skelter play this half. Both sides down to 12 for 10 minutes and Luke comes up with a great individual effort. 16 - 0.

    Raiders of the last playoff place: The big overlying story for this game between 7th and 8th is the surging 9th place Raiders. They're still 4 points out of the playoffs but the pressure will be on the loser of this game which turns out is the Broncos. A big win for the Warriors. Hurrah!

    The real MVP: All of the Warriors. Simon Mannering was leading the team down the middle in a dominant first half, Isaac Luke was causing trouble around the ruck area, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck ran over 200m and Solomone Kata had two tries. A big improvement over last week's shitter.

    What about the other guys?: Remember when the Broncos were a lock each season for the top four? Those days are goneburger due to some poor recruiting decisions, like signing Anthony Milford and letting guys like Ash Taylor go.

    #Refsstillshite: So Andrew McCullough punches Chris Satae three times after Satae fends him off and both get sent off? And even worse, the penalty goes to the Broncos despite their bloke throwing three (rather sissy) punches? Refs still shite.

    Get fucked Brisbane! (I started drinking at kick off). Eat all the dick Bennett you cantankerous dinosaur.

    We are the best down hill skiers in the comp. The Broncos having butter fingers played right in to our hands.

    Huge game, huge result. When we are on, we will worry any team. Scoring points then kicking it out isso un-Warriors but so smart.

    Green my MVP today, huge game. Paasi was every bit an old school warriors signing, and today he was huuuge. Kata's try in the 2nd half was as good as any you will see this year.

    Fuck McCulloch. Worst player for Qld, and fights like a bitch. That is a fucked rule.

    Cha fucking hooooo

    I missed this, but then NRL.com had 4 minutes of highlights up within an hour of the game finishing, so I caught up quickly. Meanwhile, Sky whinge about Stuff etc putting up 1 minute of rugby highlights...
