I've got too much scar tissue. Against these guys, 8 points up with 8 minutes to play is not enough
I started watching with seven minutes to go and thought "I bet they lose'. I am scarred too.
Great finish from Coates though.
After RTS gave them their first chance of the half to attack, we just couldn't stop them once enough to get the win

Why try and charge that drop kick???? If he hits you just shake his hand and say well done and play golden point.

Good point. But if he wanted to affect the kick, if he didn't touch it we win.

Well if "bud" Sullivan is the seven for the Tigers, then the Tigers should start their end of season holiday now.
Tigers spent pre-season working on Mad Monday.

Was supposed to be at the game tonight on some corporate junket but now I’m glad I didn’t go.
Proud of that second half though.
-
awesome second half, unfortunately we came out on the wrong side, best effort against Melbourne for a long time
-
The tactic of continually kicking to Coates was an interesting one given his reputation of being elite under the high ball , had to be to reduce his involvement by tackling him early .
And he was having a relatively quiet game , then scores that try which was the biggest moment of the game
That has to be the most spectacular try of that type from a winger ive seen , he got so much air

I saw the last 2 and a bit minutes of this game as it was on the big screen in the lounge as I was leaving the Blues match. Couldn't bring myself to watch the replay which was my original intention. Even all the Kiwis in there were cheering that try (not the result).
But, as spectacular as it is, the Warriors let the Storm go in twice in that time. That's the Warriors of old.
Ever the Warriors pessimist, despite how close the score was, I think the wheels are coming off the biggest hype train in NZ sport.

The hit by DWZ propelled him higher than the height he got on the leap.
Was a sweet finish. -
@antipodean Benji took no part in pre season with them. That sort of stuff is beneath him.

What I have learnt from NRL over the weekend.
Hoodoos are hoodoos, dont hope.
Either the Titans without D.Fif, J.C and KF are truly woeful, or the Tigers may just have some competition on their hands for the spoon from the Dragons after all.
Raiders might be a bit better than I predicted
If we are still chasing a prop, then throw the book at T May. Big minutes, big numbers, looking for a club. Already rank him in top handful of props

Saturday was crazy.
The cowboys made very very hard work of beating the Knights. Val Holmes had probably his worst game of rugby league ever. The cows butchered opportunity after opportunity, the Knights kept turning up and making tackles. Probably the right result in the end, but neither team will be happy. The Cowboys need to get rid of Granville and Feldt and maybe even the Chad.
Then fucking Melbourne happens. The game starts, we let the kick go out, and it looks for all money like 40-0 is on the cars. We then turn it around, but Melbourne still do better stuff. The set before Meaney's long range effort was our best of the year, then one late offload and they go 70m. And still we come back. We're up 8 points with 4 to play. We are fucking home! Wait, no, we're not, wrong house. Fuck Melbourne.Rest of the weekend? Manly are good, and probably should have won by more. The Roosters are absolutely stacked but are dumb as fuck. Lol at the Dragons, which may mean the Titans are Q-Cup level. Benji is going to look 60 by the end of the season. Why? Why take this job? Penrith bounce back, and the eels are still not really good enough. The Raiders have been gifted a nice easy start to the year, and get us next.
The battle for the spoon will be epic by the look of it.

Warriors game was tough, started like a traditional lay down misère and then we came back hard. Looked to have done enough and somehow still lost to a piece of brilliance.
Eels right in it until injuries stuffed them and Tago the line break beast teared them apart.
Brooks adding a lot at six for Manly, missed a couple, but general play with DCE was very good

he was the better half yesterday, early days but that's looking like a very solid combination
