Just switched over to see Hiku at fullback. RTS ok?

My multi is still perfect!

The Warriors have more jerseys than the Oregon football team.
Correct, but this version are looking like they know how to play league. They can have a different jersey every week if they desire, so long as they keep winning.
If they hadn’t already been noticed they sure as shit have now, having beaten the capless Roosters.
That kind of shit just isn’t supposed to happen.

That was great! Showing that they can win well without SJ, another tick box in terms of mental toughness imo. 300+ tackles for the Roosters! Fark, that is brutal. Has Tana got Corvo's number!!? May Kearney wants to take over the blues as a side project 😁

Told you! Never in doubt

That little ol' bandwagon was filling up quickly at 3-0, imagine it at 4-0....
...and after beating the (alleged) salary-cap cheating Roosters too.
Don't Panic: No James Gavet? No Shaun Johnson? Concede a try in the first two minutes? No worries. The mental toughness of the team right now to ignore the problems and focus on their work is impressive. Most NRL weekends if a team scores quickly, they'll score again and again. The next kickoff the Warriors began pinning the Roosters down on their goalline and were relentless all afternoon, owning 62% of possession.
Coach Green: When he finishes his playing career, Blake Green will move right into head coaching. The bloke understands the game from the tactical side to the psychological. Hearing him speak in the press conference, he talked about how he studied the game after failing in the NRL early in his career. Green outsmarted the Roosters all game long with early kicks and quickly changing the direction of attack. He outplayed Cooper Cronk with ease today.
The real MVP: Blake Green was great but Mason Lino has to be the MVP. Scored a try and was 7/7 with the boot as a fill-in for Shaun Johnson. Good on defence too. He's no where as skilled as Shaun but far more structured.
What about the other guys? The Roosters were outplayed today and boy did it show. Never seen the Roosters looking so bewildered and frustrated during a game. Blake Ferguson and Reece Robinson had shockers on the wings and their expressions were priceless whenever something went wrong (a lot went wrong).
Love the jersey: People need to rob the Warriors equipment manager's car more. Because of a little early morning thieving the Warriors had to play in their alternative kit and it's pretty slick.
