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....

How did so promising a season fall over so far?
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.

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.

NEVER DOUBTED THEM
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

Nice recognition of a great career. Surprising that he's the first

Amazing servant to the club, we'll miss his huge motor. A club legend

@canefan Lewis is gone!!? wtf, I thought he'd have had another year on the clock at least. Same as Mannering but both have had loooong careers. Both of these guys are made of steel, you don't get those sort of game stats without being a durable mofo!!
Mannering is one of the best we've seen for both the Warriors and the Kiwis. Will be sorely missed.
-
Shame to see Mannering retiring because he has a few more campaigns in him, but you can see Father Time has made great gains this season while Tohu Harris has replaced him as the 'franchise' forward.
My guess is Kearney told Mannering he was leaning towards Harris, Isaiah Papali'i, Leivaha Pulu, Jazz Tevaga and Adam Blair as his backrowers for 2019 and Simon really didn't want to move his family just to end his career playing for say, Parramatta.
Anyways, let's get Mannering into the playoffs and past the 300 game mark!
