    Also, Wayne Bennett is such a bitter old flog. He created that dogshit roster at the Broncos, got sacked, but landed on his feet with a fucking good team. Taking any pot shots at Seibold would be rich as fuck.

    I just can't understand why Seibold would leave the Bunnies and that roster, to go to Brisbane?

    Opposite take: Bennett's style of play means he can work with a lesser roster while Seibold's style means he needs a talented roster to begin with.

    Seibold should have stayed at Souths though. No take needed there.

    His last game at the club was not so great.

    But yes, his low mistake style is greatly helped by guys who can then create points from not much. And to be fair, Reynolds is very much back in form under Bennett. That Souths spine is really fucking good. Throw in an experienced and tough pack, and a super-experienced coach, they should go pretty deep this year.

    Nikorima signing confirmed. Figured shown was $1.5M over the next 2.5 years. Will be available next week for the St George game in Brisbane.

    As an aside, anyone else going next weekend? I'm planning on going to the Warriors v Dragons, Storm v Eels, Roosters v Raiders, and Bunnies v Cowboys.

    @mariner4life got a membership this year to yoink tickets to the Wellington game. Hopefully SJ is healthy for that match but who knows. Quite likely he'll tear us a new one if he is playing, such is the luck of the Warriors.

    Storm v Eels and Rooster v Raiders would be good games. Fingers crossed for us v the Dragons!

    Right, are there any other players available at the moment that we can massively overpay? Any players looking to retire at the end of this season that can be persuaded to play another 2 or so seasons at a mediocre level on higher than market value wages?

    TBH, if you look at what Milford gets and compare that with Nikorima, arguably he was underpaid at the Broncos and his salary with the Warriors is closer to what he's worth.

    I suppose the Warriors could have kept that money and kept playing outside backs and second rowers in the halves.

    Haha, imagine supporting Gallen, it took me almost his entire time playing for the Warriors for me to support Tate and he's not even hate-able on the Gallen scale.

    Yep, and came out way worse after the inspiring halftime talk.

    Well I went along to the game because I'm a season ticket holder and yeah, they were outplayed by a Newcastle side that ran at Harris-Tevita all day, kicked away from Tuivasa-Sheck all day and took the two points when the Warriors gave away penalties on their goal line all day.

    Positives:
    First time watching Patrick Herbert play live and for a unknown who was number six or seven on the centre depth chart, he looks like a bargain buy for the club. Also means the club can release Beale and Kata this year and go with Hiku, Herbert, Milne and Keighran as their centre options in 2020.

    Another young player who looks the goods is Hayze Perham. I don't know how the Warriors are going to fit him in their line up (unless the plan is to move Tuivasa-Sheck into stand off in 2021) but he's the club's best prospect.

    Negatives:

    Pretty much looking like another Warriors season of shit start, pick it up around Origin, and fall away in the home straight to finish 10th or 11th.
    The veteran guys aren't stepping up when needed (apart from Tuivasa-Sheck) and their game plan is out of date. When Kodi Nikorima is named in the halves next week (Harris-Tevita was pulled from the final 10 minutes of today's game so that's him done for 2019 - 5 games if you were counting) Kearney needs to just go back to the old Kiwis game plan of hooker and halfback sprinting out of the dummyhalf every second tackle because that's actually working for rival clubs.

    To me the main difference today was the Knights kicking game was on point, where as most of our attacking kicks were 5m too deep.

    I thought I locked this thread...

    We looked passive and directionless in that second half. Newcastle built pressure and did that simple things well which they haven’t really done much of this season.

    Where’s that fork?
