I have to say I was wrong about Egan, he is the most improved player in the game. If you'd told me last year he'd be this good this year I would have thought you had taken a blow to the head. Still not convinced by Metcalf, great runner, but not sure he's a 5/8th. Hopefully next year I'm saying the same about him as I am about Egan today.
The team is great at the moment, fun to watch, hard to believe it's the Warriors. However, Up the Wahs sucks, I hate it and I hate those guys who do the Warriors podcast for pushing it (and the silence from CNK and Niukore when they mentioned it in the latest podcast suggest the players don't think much it either).

I think Egan showed that improvement at the end of last year and thankfully also re signed this week for the club.
Lots of good signs today from many, just hope they were resting Tohu with the amount of time he was off the pitch. I would say the best game from Berry in a Warriors shirt. -
kept an eye on games while i was away, but not the comp. What the fuck happened in the last month??
Canberra are in the top 4? how the fuck did that happen? Canberra are shit. Their points diff is -55 FFS!
How are Souths, the team i thought would play Penrith in the GF, now 8th? and in freefall?How exactly have the Warriors scored 40 points in 3 of the last 4 games, and yet somehow got pumped by Souths in the middle of that, given Souths suddenly suck? Also, how did the Warriors suddenly score 40+ in 3 out of 4 weeks?
While Parra were never as bad as their start suggested, to see them in the 8 is still weird.
The Cowboys have dragged themselves to the cusp of the 8 as well.And it looks like 10th down are already planning mad monday.

2 byes plus games against a fallen Roosters, St George and Titans

Latrell the main reason in my view, but Souths have had multiple games without their stars. Expect them to unleash with Latrell back.

Surprisingly our team doesn't seem to handle the wet, lost to Souths and Roosters in terrible conditions and we tried to play expansive games against both.
Still not sure if we can legitimately beat a top 4 side, but no other team scares us right now.While Parra were never as bad as their start suggested, to see them in the 8 is still weird.

Parra and Cowboys could be playing for the same spot, both looking like teams you would not want to run into in the run home, Cowboys in particular have really found their mojo

@mariner4life Bit harsh on Souths when they've been murdered by Origin and injuries. They virtually fielded their reserve grade side against the Dogs and still nearly got up.
If they get there (which they should), then watch out. Penrith I think will do it again, but they'll still be Semi final minimum.

It really is a false looking ladder currently. Souths, Parra and the Cows are the teams to watch and will be competing with the Panthers and Broncs come the end.

The Warriors say hello…
We are in this big time. All the right ingredients on the park, a coaching team that has the boys believing with a simple but effective gameplan, and a spine that if healthy are one of the best in the comp. Add to that the Sydney/Bris based media will keep talking about those sides and we will just keep doing our thing.

@ACT-Crusader I don't believe so. Yeah they've punched well above their weight, but they haven't beaten any of the top dogs this year. Got smashed by Souths, lost to Brisbane B, got hard done by against a weaker Storm side than previous seasons, and lost comfortably enough against Penrith.
They've done well, but they ain't going past the 2nd week of the finals. Pull me up on it if you're wrong, but I'm happy to put it out there.
Credit to them on the year they've had at the same time.

I agree, although ironically I think our game can beat Penrith ball interestingly enough. If we kept players out of the bin, we were a big shot at winning that game and have got better since. I don't know if we can beat a full strength Souths, Broncos and we always struggle against the Storm.
Still need to front tonight, whatever we think of the Raiders, they are currently top 4, will make other teams fear us more and give us more confidence playing in the wet.
