@JK not sure what to make of the Panthers. Hammered by a shit team in round one, then hammered a half decent team in Round 2. Maybe the expectation got to them for the first game?

Didnt read too much in to game 1 myself. Bet on Dragons to win it for a number of reasons. I thought Panthers were over rated (in betting market anyway) plus halves pairing still not over experienced. Still, their first up performance was more disappointing than I expected.

Going to the Broncos V Storm tonight ,
Usually these clashes are pretty intense with the coaches who dont get on , but , had no rain here for weeks , and its raining today
Slaters first game for some time , his inclusion could be massive if he is anywhere near his best and stays fit , considering they made the GF last year without him

Storm to win tonight and cover the line. Cant see Bronco's getting themselves up for it after last weeks mamoth effort. Plus storm at home for the first time this season. Expect a big performance.

Tight game, the Bronco outside backs tackled like heroes all game and kept them in it.
Strange game from the Melbourne attack really, seemed the whole plan was give it to Billy, and it nearly cost them.
If you want a laugh find a page on Facebook called The Ankle Tapper, especially when Brisbane lose. It's canerbry-esque
-
Billy comes back into the side as Munster departs with a broken jaw , 8 weeks .

We're dominating and finally crack them to score first

The knock on rule in league is perplexing
-
We've found a team with a worse attack than ours

I sometimes think they just make up rules as they go along.
Anyway, I turned over and watched at halftime in the Blues v Crusaders game and saw a try each and both teams looking cabbage. Lots of Graham bitching and moaning too but it's ok because he's PASSIONATE! OUR GAME!!!

Have been channel surfing between the rugby and the cricket + the Warriors... finally got that second try, and the Bulldogs fullback is playing with all the fear of being under an actual bomb at the back...
Ah fuck. And the Bulldogs score...
Abbey is playing like he's a Warrior ... he'll come good as a Bulldog soon.
Typical Warriors ....
-
Fuck i hate the Warriors. I hate how i invest time in them. I hate how it doesn't matter who is in the team or who is the coach, we suck. When is our upswing?
Fucking Cronulla won a comp with grubs and ild blokes, we can't even win in NZ away from Mt Smart!
In shory, burn the joint to the ground and start again. Somewhere else.

They'll solve cancer before we solve the Warriors......FML.
Thoughts:
- Anaemic. The word when I think of the Warriors' offence. Anaemic.
- Bet some of you had to google that word.
- There is no general in charge of the troops. Shaun Johnson just isn't that guy and....
- Isaac Luke is a joke right now. Can't even pick up a ball. Waste of money.
- Be interesting if Foran gets onto the field. If he goes well maybe, just maybe, the Warriors think of Hingano/Foran in 2018.
- To his credit, Johnson was trying along with Bodene Thompson, David Fusitua, Ryan Hoffman, Bunty Afoa and....
- Simon Mannering. Took on James Graham & co and was shutting them down with each hit up they took.
- Rugby League Weekly is shutting down? FFS.
- Former junior Warrior Brad Abbey started at fullback for Bulldogs and was shit.
- Josh Reynolds is still a dirty shit.
-
Mannering is our best player by far in the first 3, followed by Lillyman.
-
@Sneakdefreak speaking of cancer, Hayne out injured and the previously inept Titans are going to knock off the previously high-flying Eels

I used to call Mannering rugby league Reuben (ducks for cover in case Canerbry and Stargazer are lurking in the league thread) but he's clearly one of the best and most consistent Warriors around these days.
