@JK yep crowd noise piped in, cardboard cutouts of people...

So no Korean sex dolls for fans then?

NTA

They dubbed over crowd noise which was ok... Except for the bit where the "crowd" cheered an Eels try.

In Brisbane.

Roosters giving away the slowest play the balls of the weekend so far.

Cowboys towelled up the Titans

Also, have you seen the Warriors team? That forward pack would get towelled up at state league level. Nailed on for the spoon. Shit coach. Shit squad. No home games.

Well well well...

Pleasantly surprising. Warriors seem to suit playing in empty stadia

Fucking hell. 44 of 46 completed sets. 44 In a row.

A horrible Dragons team without any direction on offence. But that is the first time a team has had that many completed sets in a row.

Fuck yes boys. Fuck yes!

As long as we play every game in front of cardboard cutouts 👌

that crowd noise is f**kin stupid. solid warriors against a shit dragons. that should be the benchmark now - committed, 100% completion through the first 75min, that is the foundation block upon which future warrior sides should be built.

Oh good. Warriors get aaaaabsolutely written off so I don't bother to get up even though it's live sport and a NZ team.

They win.

I'm such an idiot, how could I not know?

So, the time I can’t actually watch the Warriors they decide to be decent, typical.

As long as they’re not on Ch9 and only on Fox then this will be likely.

raznomore

@westcoastie I didn’t actually mind the fake ambiance. I’ll go as far as saying that it helped me enjoy the game more

raznomore

@Nepia it was better than decent. It wasn’t a cricket score but it was as close to perfect as a team can get

Gunner

Someone told me the Warriors won a game they had zero chance of winning.

Where’s that bandwagon, I might just jump on it.

ACT Crusader

@westcoastie I actually don’t mind it. Add in the histrionics from the commentary team and it’s almost back to normal.

Warriors defence was 2002-esque. Fantastic effort and discipline too. I actually screamed at the TV when Murchie lost it with only minutes to go.

No handling errors until 6 minutes from time? A clean sheet? Clinical. Now there's a word that is rarely associated with the Warriors

ACT Crusader

Where’s @Sneakdefreak ? Still partying in his bubble aye 😎

@canefan it was a phenomenal effort considering errors and penalties have riddled our game for the best part of the last two seasons.

Paekakboyz

I am fine with the fake crowd effect - as soon as the game started it fades into the background and we get even more shots of the actual game.

Holy shit Warriors - seems they've unearthed a couple of very solid prospects - but the Dragons were beyond shit-house!

ACT Crusader

@Paekakboyz that young back rower Katoa looks a great prospect
