The NRL Season of 2016

[Gunner]

Lolohea goes in, that's a well executed try. That's also what happens when passes are out in front of the receiver.<br>
24-12

[Nepia]

<p>Warriors carving up now - McFadden looks like he's happy he'll be able to pay off the mortgage the rest of the year.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>24-12.</p>

Hurrell got a huge cheer with his first touch

[canefan]

Lot of chicken wings from the knights

[Gunner]

Maaaaanuuuu!!!!!

[canefan]

Warriors well on top, manu goes in for a score and in typical NRL we are refused the benefit of the doubt and we are left in the hands of the bunker

[Gunner]

Things going the Warriors way now as the Knights kick off is out on the full - Warriors straight back on attack.

[canefan]

Hurrell goone again? I haven't seen him since that arm bar

[canefan]

Farken hell, basic errors

I'd like to thank the aliens who stole Kata's mind and replaced it with another. He's playing great

[canefan]

Great score by Shaun. Fuck you ref

[Nepia]

<p>Johnson in after a great solo run. The Auckland media are going to be fluffing the Warriors something crazy this week.</p>

[Gunner]

Magic Johnson in.<br><br>
Picks it up from dummy half in the middle of the field, dances sideways to within 1/2m of the right-hand touchline and dots down. <br><br>
No one else could have scored that.

[Gunner]

Luke in now.<br><br>
Should be 40-12 after the kick.

[Gunner]

Pathetic defense again from the Warriors. SJ with an arm grab, the RTS stepped with ease.

[Gunner]

Wooooweeeee. Jazz with a huge hit on Sims. Picked him up and drove him into the dirt (legally).

<p>40-18 - good win although still lacking some execution on the final play. McFadden needs to correct that before he can keep off paying that mortgage with a sense of calm.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some pointers:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- Liking the use of Vete and Matulino in the backrow. Thompson needs to play big minutes, sure, but Vete and Matulino provide a bit more power.</p>
<p>- Also  Gubb and Lisone give the Warriors forwards some energy off the bench, doing most of the shorter hit ups, which means Matulino can play 60-70 minutes a game.</p>
<p>- Robson isn't working. Was terrible today. Can see Leuluai replacing him once he comes back. Or Lolohea next week.</p>
<p>- I don't know what happened to that man known as Solomone Kata but lets keep this one. Ran hard, (actually) tackled hard. Still doesn't pass but two outta three ain't bad.</p>
<p>- Hurrell. Only a few minutes in the second row (plus some in the centres) but the team definitely picked it up a notch when he ran onto the park. Also looked like he really wanted to be there.</p>
<p>- The Knights and their chicken wing tackles need to be sorted out quickly. Dangerous and foolish stuff.</p>
<p>- Robbie Rochow had a worse game than Robson. Even injured one of the few good players in the Knights today (Levi). Shocker.</p>
<p>- Jazz Tevaga needs to remain in the side, he can play NRL footy. However I could see Bodene covering hooker when he comes back.</p>

Was good to see Big Ben offloaded in the tackle. Makes a huge difference. <br><br>
One of Kata's better if not best games for the Warriors. Solid in defence and excellent in attack.
