Did i hear a stat that Kearney has a 31% winning record as a coach? How the fuck does he have a job?
My theory is the selection panel is normally made up of people at least as dumb so they see a resume with a decade of experience in multiple clubs and hey presto, No one ever seems to ask, why is it that you never manage to coach a team to the finals? Or why don't we take a punt on someone who doesn't have a losing record?

my first ever Warriors game, and I am barely looking forward to it.
-
@Sneakdefreak Nikorima will be wondering WTF he got himself into. His giant pile of cash will make him feel a little better
-
@canefan He also won't cop the flak like he did in Brisbane so he will probably be happy even if it turns into a rebuilding year for 2020 (which it will).

It's always a transition/rebuilding year with us

All part of the master plan for the 2042 NRL season.

... when we finally get to ring that victory bell

Considering the number of people flying in to Brisbane in different club jerseys right now, this magic round might be a success

Are there no home games in this round (well Brisbane aside I guess) or did the teams with home games have to just lump it?
If the Warriors weren't more awful than usual I would have gone up as my mate offered me his tickets and it would be good to catch up with my family in Brisbane.
-
The Warriors are so poop right now. They're not getting basics right, no co-ordination on attack, leaky on defence, looking decidedly second-rate.
Tuned in hoping to see some effort and a good game, but nope. -
Thoughts on my first warriors viewing. We are slow, unadventurous, and yet strangely unstructured. Our defense is also slow to get back and realign.
St George are beating us with offload and physicality. Remember the Warriors myth?
Green is shit.
-
Oh and I can now see why Tevaga gets picked. He actually tries

Our line speed is generally slower than our opposition. We don't come up in a straight line on D either. Kearney building us in his own image. Boring.

@Donsteppa @mariner4life @canefan I think we can collectively give ourselves a pat on the back for inspiring the Warriors to that win. well done us.
-
Oooosh! Cha hoo! Warriors all day baby!!
Enjoyed that. What a 2nd half! Having my boys next to me riding every tackle was great
-
So just watched the game and I’m unofficially back on (I’ll wait until next week....)
Lawton was awesome. Made big metres off dummy half and also tackled well.
Nikorima a very good debut. Still not worth 500 large, but hey keep it going young fulla.
RTS is a superstar. Every time he’s involved he looks threatening and is a mistake free footy player.
-
Well that was a surprise, I nearly threw my iPad at the TV during the opening few minutes.
Wow, it's nice seeing the Warriors moving the ball wide for once. That pass on from RTS to Herbert to Fus wouldn't have happened if Kata was there.
The Dragons just fell apart.
F-word, I still can't believe we won.
