Warriors make a few changes for their clash against the Raiders in Canberra. Papali'i is out for at least six weeks with a knee injury so Pulu moves into the second row while Agnatius Paasi is on the bench. Sammy Cook drops from the bench and is replaced by Jazzy Tevaga.

I know he butchered a try, but how good is Bunty running this season? Almost 120m's a game off the bench so far this season. Very impressive for a guy who is on the small side for playing up the middle.
I looked at the stats for last season and he didn't carry for 100m's even once last year(highest was 86m's). Not sure what he did, but his leg drive is something else this year.
@no-quarter said in NRL 2018:
Our goalline defense was fricken awesome. Swawming them and putting in the hits when required. That was the biggest positive for me.
RTS is pure class, he would carve up in either code.
Fun game and great to see a good crowd again at Mt Smart. SJ forming a good combo with Green already bodes well.
Agree on RTS, but gee he looked slow on that massive run up the middle after about 20 minutes, about 3 titans chasers all ran him down.
To be fair to RTS, he did lose a bit of speed when he beat the last defender. The fullback also slightly clipped him on that run too.

Broncos beat the Tigers 9-7 in OT after ref awards a dubious penalty to Brisbane....
-
They won a league game with nothing more than penalties and a field goal. That's astounding
-
Warriors up to their old tricks, giving away penalty after penalty after penalty, resulting in a visit to the naughty chair to Adam Blair.
Down 12-0 early.
Now is where we will see what the Warriors 2018 vintage is made of. Do they have enough in the top 2 inches to work their way out of the hole they’ve created?
As I type, Warriors score in their first visit to the Raiders end of the field.

Found the will to win ,
Belief is a funny thing .

SJ looked really composed in that final 5-6 minutes.
-
I saw some dumb stuff from us, some bullshit calls from the ref but mostly I saw a composed, but messy, 80 min performance where they waited for the openings. The ability to finish things off is what is going to make or break us against better attacking teams. We should have put 30 plus on GC and to be honest I think we were better than a 1 point win today. just keep dropping crucial opportunities.
Well played Harris, Luke, Afoa and in patches Hiku, Green and obviously Johnson towards the end.
