The NRL Season of 2016

Haha that time the titans player just pushed the Warriors chaser over leaving an easy catch. Apparently that rule doesn't exist anymore <br><br>
We're playing well -
Fuck! All the Titans chances are coming off our errors

20-10

Kata just goes length of the field on an intercept. Gives a fantastic don't-argue and scores. 24-10 warriors. 15 to go -
24-10 after a 90m intercept by kata including a video game fend!

<p>He must be up for NRL's most improved, hands down he gets the award at the Warriors</p> -
Fuck off commentators, the Titans aren't the only team who played a long golden point last weekend. I know this isn't going to your pre-planned narrative but sort it out. <br><br>
Shit we're dumb -
Kata has proven today that he is a far better all round player than Hurrell. I thought Hurrell's over the top try celebration was pretty classless. But then again I'm biased because I've always thought Hurrell was a cock
-
Boooom! Maumalo!<br><br>
Our defense has been good -
These commentators have a hard-on for Hayne larger than the one John Campbell had for David Bain in the aftermath of his acquittal. <br><br>
Hayne has been decent today, but not the best on the field -
Poor from Tui, put your body on the line son<br><br>
24-14 -
Warriors will do their best to lose it from here.

Good win. We were good for that, the better side throughout. The Titans only chances came after the numerous soft errors at the back. <br><br>
Defense, especially on the goal line was excellent, there was an obvious plan and was carried out. <br><br>
Hayne showed enough to hint he'll make a difference. <br><br>
Mark Gasnier can eat a dick. Which team played 4 golden points in a row? Fuck off giving the Titans an excuse. -
<p>Great game today - lot of big plays and big hits. Both sides look like they're hitting form in the home straight. The commentators fapping themselves to death over Hayne (who threw two intercepts) was a bit over the top. However....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some thoughts:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- Simon Mannering was a machine in this game. Over 100 metres running, 40 tackles and really got the second half going for the Warriors. Should have been named man of the match.</p>
<p>- Bodene Thompson was also making big breaks and hits (35 tackles) the whole game. Jarryd Hayne looked stunned when Bodene crashed into him because Thompson appeared to have no fear what-so-ever. Him and Johnson make a lethal combo.</p>
<p>- I usually never get into this but the way the rules change when the Warriors play is insane. Apparently the obstruction rule has changed today because Gold Coast did it several times on attack and never got pinged. Josh Hoffman even took Ken Maumalo out during a kick chase and nothing happened. It's getting out of hand now.</p>
<p>- Konrad Hurrell played well, as everyone expected, and even scored a try. But Kata was the better player with the number four on his back with one of the best intercept tries all season. Anthony Don now has a big Tongan handprint on his face.</p>
<p>- David Fusitua also grabbed an game-changing intercept (off Hayne) which set up Kata for a try. Great chase by Hurrell too.</p>
<p>- Lolohea is out of form right now after Cappy randomly dropped him. Time for Fusitua at the back, Ashyford to centre and Lolohea in the halves because....</p>
<p>- Tevaga and Roache were good but Leuluai was really playing dummy-half the whole game. Leuluai to start at hooker, Tevaga on the bench covering hooker/backrow.</p>
<p>- I hate Greg Bird but the guy can hold onto the pill with ease. The Warriors could learn from him considering they spilt the ball thrice in the first 20 mins.</p>
<p>- I mock Hayne but he will be lethal come the playoffs (and Gold Coast will be in the playoffs). A lot of mistakes today but he still has the skills. Thanks to his workout regime in the NFL he can also play in the backrow.</p>
<p>- GC halfback Ash Taylor will probably win rookie of the year but he is really terrible with his fifth tackle options. Cost the Titans a try or two with his indecisions.</p> -
I saw the warrors play in New Plymouth vs the raiders and swore never again! Well I just happened to be at a tele with it on in the background for the 2nd half and by christ that was a totally different team. Even with the stupid fuckups they didn't drop their heads and give up. Two storming tries coming from warrior screwups with titans hot on attack. Best I've seen from the warriors in a long time..may even tune in next week..maybe.

Is there a bigger grub in the game than Greg Bird? Every time there is niggle, he is involved in it. He always looks really pissed when someone stands up to him as well. <br><br>
Hayne looked pretty sharp today. He was in everything and that final cut out pass of his that almost led to a try was pretty impressive. <br><br>
I'm a little bit worried about our kicking. Lolohea definitely isn't the answer, and with the amount of close games we've had, a couple of missed points might end up costing us dearly. <br><br>
Hurrell did play well, but I thought he looked disinterested a couple of times. His try was just a catch and fall over the line, but he celebrated like he'd just won powerball. <br><br>
I think Bodene Thompson has been one of our best players this year. Like Jabbering, Hoffman and Lilyman hes a quiet achiever who always turns in a good effort. -

First Leicester City win the EPL, the Cavs win the NBA championship to end a 50 year drought, now the Hurricanes break the super rugby duck after 21 years. What about the Warriors next? Yeah nah</p></blockquote>

The Warriors and Raiders would be the two teams you wouldn't want to come up against early in the finals. I don't think either will win it, but they certainly have the potential to upset teams. This weekend showed the Sharks, Cowboys and Storm are fellible.
