On a tough day like today it's nice to see Shaun Johnson & the Sharks lose to the Knights 12-8. That's my happy medicine for today. Plus this gif of Shaq.

Ah balls, I forgot Johnson was with the Sharks, I would have watched that rather than the first half of Tards v Bumboys. I dislike Newcastle too, but it would have been good to see Johnson and Ponga play.

I thought the Canes v Chiefs was dire at times. This game was 2 all for ages, or at least it felt like ages. Not a particularly great game by SJ.

Great to see the roosters and the sharks lose on the same night

[Crazy Horse]

Good to see some things never change. Kata fucks up his first touch and the Warriors so far not getting the rub of the green from the refs.

Warriors rolling at the moment. 16-0 after 30

How’s the new half going?

Good. Score a try after escaping 3 defenders.
3 convos. Kata makes another great pass that results in the new 9 scoring another try. 22-0 near the end of the first half

[ACT Crusader]

We look sharp. Good decision making, strong ball carrying and low error rate.

[canefan]

Half time. Wow, not spectacular, but the warriors look great. The forward pack are clicking, and Roach(?) the new look 9 looks like a guy who will ably replace Luke in the future and be highly capable sharing time in 2019. Both wingers have been active, with Maumolo scoring off a pinpoint Blake Green kick and Fusitua batting a bomb down for a Kata score. Very pleasing that the new boys are playing well. I can't believe the new 6 is playing his first NRL game. He has the look of another Aussie underdog taking his chance and running with it. Blake Green has stepped out of Johnson's shadow and his kicking game has been outstanding

[Virgil]

28-0 Warriors

[canefan]

Doggies finally score off a Tevaga error. Defense has been otherwise very tight

[Paekakboyz]

Let in a try off lost possession, but there was some good scrambling D till the last play. Even Kata looks willing on D!! And I hear he was passing in the first half? Hallelujah!!

[canefan]

Kata scores after beautiful play from Green and RTS. We're carving up

[canefan]

Warriors are pouring it on. No razzle dazzle, just all the basics done well. Green and Kieran look great in the halves. Shaun who?

[Virgil]

On track to record their best ever opening round win.
A quick look through the records and it’s obvious the first round is always a big hurdle for them.

[canefan]

And it's over. A thoroughly professional performance by the warriors, how often can you say that?

[raznomore]

Playing Kata on the other side is potentially the best bit of coaching of Kearney’s warrior stint.

Apparently it was Stacey's idea. Kata used to play on the right as a junior but hadn't been able to secure the right side spot until now

[Paekakboyz]

The league equivalent of zoolander not being able to turn left! Go stacey you genius!
