NRL 2018
-
The Wests Tigers dropped their game against St George 20-10 so that means if the Warriors get a win today against the Bulldogs they confirm a spot in the NRL playoffs (Wests can only get to 28 points now if they win out). The Warriors are going with the same side that won against Newcastle last week.

Bulldogs played their best game of the season but still....fluffybunnies.

Why do I want the Warriors to win but then take perverse pleasure in them losing? I think it's the fan base ... not you sneak but the "keep the faith, we're bigger the the All Blacks, logue us the greatest game of all" mob, and the disproportionate coverage they get.
Anyways pops. And take that. At the same time.

Gutted we lost but I still thought we were decent.
Blake’s 5th tackle kick that the Bulldogs took on the full in the ingoal was a coach killer.

Gee thanks for the somewhat backhanded compliment. Just PM me your family address so I can send you that thank you bomb you've been so wanting.

Don't want to watch the replay (even though it was a good game) but can't remember that one. The real coach killer was Kata's poor defence at the end of the second half which led to a Bulldogs try. I'm struggling to see what Kearney thinks Kata can become, especially when Hiku and Beale are probably our best centre combo.

fucked up comp. i don't need help making my predictions look ridiculous.
Less than a week after i declared Melbourne, The Roosters, Souffs, and the grubs of the shire to be a deadset, locked in, mile ahead of the rest top 4, two of them lose, and one loses a bunch of players to injury.
Jesus fuck being a Warriors supporter is hard. It's the hope that kills you, i almost preferred it when we just sucked for most of the year. Almost.

Yeah I've turned in to that bloke I hate. The guy who really loves the All Blacks losing cause all his negatively is somehow justified.

Warriors face the Panthers again in a massive Friday night match up. Blake Green is out (booo) but Tohu Harris does return (yay).

It's exciting supporting a team where you are 18-4 up at half time, at home, playing well, and you are still not convinced you can win

Convinced seems a rather strong word ...
I'd say the game currently 50/50
-
@majorrage @mariner4life any more confident at 24-4?
They lose this from here they don’t deserve to make the top 8.

A penalty goal under the sticks for a line dropout not going 10 won’t help.
Must say I do love the tactic of the short drop outs that the Warriors have employed tonight, despite giving away a penalty there. The team kicking off in rugby managed to get the ball back quite regularly, not sure why it isn’t tried more often in loige.
