@act-crusader Think he makes an alright host when they've used him there recently.
Roosters a bit off colour tonight. Manu needed to get involved more I thought to try and help Tedesco out as they were heaviy reliant on him, and trying to score off every play wasn't helping their cause.
Good effort from the Broncs. It's a slow rebuild but with some of the young guys locked away and Haas leading the charge, there's a bit of light at the end of the tunnel for them I feel.

Turbo had another big game last night.
Not sure if we'll see another player put up the type of numbers he's putting up.
These are his stats in just 13 games:
19 tries
25 try assists
34 linebreak assists
20 linebreaks
77 tackle breaks
2760 running metres(212m per game)Just freakish numbers. Imagine if he didn't miss so many games.

Warriors looking sharp today. Feels like this could be a shootout though.
I like Walsh more and more every time he plays.
Not sure if there are any closet Jason "Costo" Costigan fans on here, but he's calling the game on SENZ today. I've managed to sync the radio call with my Sky Sport picture, so it's like a throwback to the 2000s.

Just to confirm, you're choosing to listen to Costigan?
Is he no longer as politician?

I reckon he's great. Adds something interesting to the commentary - better than McIvor, who they replaced him with, and any other of the generic commentators we've had since! I think his political career fizzled out.
Walsh got smashed in that late hit. He's tough as nails.

He tops my all time worst commentator list and until this moment I don't think I've ever heard someone say they like his commentary.
And the Warriors are about to fall apart.

Interesting, most of my league loving mates think he's great. It is entirely possible that I just hang out with munters, of course.

The surface at Redcliffe looks quite impressive. So good it's almost un-australian.
Talking about un-australian, the Warriors were just awarded a dodgy try without it going to the Bunker. 22-10 Warriors.

Warriors were a couple of fumbled tries from blowing them away, but it was a good win, albeit against easily the worst team in the comp

I'm just gonna come out and say what we're all thinking - 2021 is our year!

Welcome back bro. Stick around, we could still finish 9th.

I feel like 9th would still be a win given where we were a couple of months ago. I've finally got round to logging in to TSF on my work computer so hopefully will be a bit more regular round here.

Unlikely to even finish 9th..barely fumbled to a win today. Still could screw a few other teams but we are just not good enough this year, injuries don't help obviously

There are like 4 good teams in the whole comp, everyone else is varying shades of ordinary.
So i wouldn't be shocked to see us finish 9th. I mean, a record of 9-12 gets you a finals spot FFS
Also the most important bone in the whole comp is Tommy Turbo's cheek this week. Either it's fine, or Manly are fucked.

that last part is 100% accurate.
I know we have a better run in than a lot of teams, but I dont even think we beat the resurgent broncs this week not gold coast later. I am not talking about other teams ability to fall over either as youre right outside top four not much happening, but I suspect for warriors although possible, not probable

look, for the 2nd season running, they are turning up week after week despite living in fucking Australia, and i am not sure they are getting enough credit for that. Add in 3 wins on the bounce (always knew RTS was holding us back) and there is a lot of credit to come out of this year.
You are right, we're as likely to come 12th as 9th, but they are putting in a shift, and at times playing some decent football.
A running dummy half, a grade-standard halfback, and one quick centre and i reckon we are in business. A hard, quick, ball-playing middle forward wouldn't go amiss either.

Strongly agree with the bolded bit. It hasn't been our best two seasons and we've blown a bunch of games we should have won, but you know what? We watch it from the comfort of our lounge with our families around us, they've been double bunked in hotel rooms for the last two seasons. The uncertainty of it all must have taken its toll.
I spent the last three months of my time in Thailand with my wife and kids living back in NZ, and aside from getting to go to the pub more often, there aren't a lot of upsides. It's quite disruptive at a personal level, so the fact these guys can still turn up week in, week out, without too many complaints is something they should be proud of.
I think we'll be a better team for it once it all gets back to normal. How well the guys went last season when some of the stars went home was phenomenal.
