A great win by the Warriors. I wouldn’t be rushing RTS back into that backline. Pompey has played great since he’s been in there. Berry is starting to show his potential and the wings are both playing pretty good.
I’d put SJ back in there with TMM. Chanel off the bench instead of Lussick.
Maratha has been immense in the two games and Capewell is just a quality professional.
Other teams are starting to get the injuries we’ve had. We can definitely go on a run here. -

So just watching the game, the sin bin for CHT for dropping the ball on someone is the most ridiculous thing I've seen.
But damm, with no one really outstanding just a solid team winThe whole incident was ridiculous, with neither player deserving to be sent to the bin. Ref had a brain explosion.
Agree about the performance. We've maybe had more important wins, but it was so clinical, like a well oiled machine the way we put them away. Very satisfying

I only watched one game all weekend, and i am glad it was yesterday's. Big crowd, afternoon footy, and both sides having a crack and chukcing it around. It felt the whole game like Parra were going to win, right up until the Dogs lost Mann for that shit tackle. Everything seemed to be going Parra's way, but the Dogs hung in there, and then going down to 12 seemed to just focus them. And the last bit of the game was all Blue and White.
Stephen Crichton is un-fucking-believable, probably the best buy of all the high profile Panthers. His individual form is elite, but he seems to be a real leader for that team. He and Tracy carved the Eels.
While the Eels were going well, Moses was killing it, but he was totally MIA in the 2nd half.Stocked that winning try was allowed as well. The out of the field only happened because of a push, and he got back in anyway. And as for the "obstruction" that Gutho was having a sook about, that was the defender playing for it an hoping. That should never be called an obstruction. Especially when the linebreak was wider out. Fuck off Gutho you massive sook.

How is the Cheese getting a breach notice at the Roosters? But deserved, he's carrying on like a flog, and is playing pretty ordinary footy. Roosters clearly trying to push him out.

@mariner4life Looks like they've stumbled on Tracey being their best fullback option. Sexton also looked better than Hutchinson at 7, and yeah, I was iffy about the Crichton signing, but boy he has made every post a winner.
Must say Parra also look a lot better now with Moses back. Ofahengaue and Kelma Tuilagi (man he reminds me of David Solomona, like a clone!) Were very good.
A surprisingly good game as I wasn't really wanting to watch it but glad I did!

If the rumours are true, then he will be gone fast, lost a lot of friends as well and needs help. A good pick up for someone but will need a lot of off field support

@mariner4life difference between a player launching at a guys head (Joseph) and a player positioning himself at a low position and then collecting a guy that is dipping (Tuputupu).
Whether I agree with the Tuputupu tackle or not atleast Union don't have the stigma of letting shit slide on a regular basis. Atleast they got it right last night but consistency would be great.
both the same circumstances, upward trajectory at guys slipping, but at different speeds. Rugby got theirs wrong, not league. You are just inconsistent depending on what jersey they wear, kinda like Madge above.
What gets let slide by the way? Those tackles happen so very rarely that it is a surprise. On the flip side, guys get taken out of games every weekend for failing HIAs. Because, you know, that's how you protect your athletes.
Just admit your comment is at least a decade out of date and we can all move on
How can you say they are both the same circumstances? Joseph is flying through the air, Tuputupu had his legs planted on the ground.
League let shit slide all the time, guys walking around groggy without any attention happens on a regular. Rugby act on shit straight away to the point it's sometimes overbearing as a user, but I get it, the players safety comes first. There is a clear difference between both sports in that facet of the game.
The total irony of your comment is that I think League are the ones living ten years in the past when it comes to acting on head knocks.
Agree to disagree and we can all move on.
Late to the party, but flying in the air? Come on, his foot was planted. Evidence below, and I didn’t even need to use bright arrows and creepy voiceover….

@mariner4life the other thing from this game, the size of Burton’s bombs, even rugby heads would be proud of his towering rain makers.
Lastly
Trell should be back in origin partnering Chricton in the centres.
Will Warriors lose their way with SJ back? Seriously TMM needs to play his natural game. Was he previously? Was he allowed too? Don’t know but we need him to stay confident.
Keep Ford in the middle rotation. Good motor didn’t seem to make as many errors
Warriors also one of teams shortlisted to Vegas
Tigers can have spoon now, disgraceful

Lots of rumours he was hard work at the storm as well ,
He has an old man that continually interferes allegedly, was continually contacting the club saying if he isn’t playing 9 full time , we are leaving.
Bellamy liked him as more of a utility backrow / hooker . Probably a big mistake he left now with hindsight.

Suspect Bellamy had his role worked out well too, 20 mins as hooker and then plays as a small middle

would give serious thought to them swapping roles, TMM running the team, and SJ playing the secondary run role. Does SJ have the humility to do that? We've looked a million times better without SJ having absolutely everything go through him

Shaun was playing hurt, which didn't help. With Martin stepping up, hopefully he doesn't feel he has to try and do everything, just let's the game come to him

Yes he was, but to Mariners point, did he have the humility to allow TMM to take more of the lead, even before? Its all conjecture, but we know it was SJ's team. Personally I think they could work and not following this left and right side format either of which was seemingly enforced previously, but letting them both play as it happens, but I suspect that will take time.
-
the best attacks right now have the halves and the fullback all combining. Left side-right side is so a couple of years ago.
Under SJ, TMM was invisible, and the Warriors attack forgot the left existed. The absolute worst thing that could happen would be for us to revert. -
Webster is saying that the attack will change (in theory).
