Should I survive the great Auckland storm of 2018 I'll be going to the Broncos game at Mt Smart on Saturday. Warriors name the same side although expect some positional changes (Mannering to start and probably Paasi or Pulu to the bench).

Crazy season continues. Roosters down again, to the Bunnies, who are somehow 3 and 3.
-
Warriors down 15-14 at half time.
Real mixed bag from the Warriors, have given away too many penalties, especially under their goal posts which cost them a couple of goals.
Very poor last 5 minutes after leveling the scores up, made a couple of mistakes in their own end giving Milford the opportunity to kick the 1 point.
I suppose 1 is better than the 6 they’d likely have conceded last year though.Come on need a big effort in the 2nd half lads
-
14-21 early in the second half and the Warriors are under the pump big time.
Broncos making big metres, Warriors struggling to get out of their own 30.
Oh and more silly penalties.
Need someone to step up and do something special to halt this Brisbane momentum

Our forwards have been dominated today, simple as that.
What’s really fucking me off though is how long the Broncos are allowed to go on with the tackle after the ref calls held, in some cases even joining the tackle after the call.
Surely held is held and they have to let go and get the fuck out of it.

Guess the Warriors can ditch all the 'Battle of the Undefeated' promo ideas they had been preparing for next Friday....
Fucking Broncos.
One of those games: Overall the Warriors were alright but you could tell they were a tad lethargic (or that was just me and my man flu). David Fusitua had an off night with a number of dropped passes which is rare for Fusitua. The kicking game wasn't flash and the team fell into the routine of one pass out and run which the Broncos read everytime. More dummyhalf runs you fools.
The other guys finally won: You kind of had a feeling the Brisbane Broncos were going to have a bounce-back game after all the negative press they had been receiving back home and losing Matt Gillett for the season to a broken neck. They were faster all night long and played out of their skins on attack and defence. Again, the Warriors didn't play that bad (they didn't play great either) just the Broncos played that much better.
Time to test the depth again: Two key injuries in this game as Leivaha Pulu and Solomone Kata were both helped off the field with serious ankle injuries. Pulu's replacement is simple, Simon Mannering will start in the secondrow while either Isaiah Papali'i or Ligi Sao will come onto the bench. Kata's injury is troubling as Gerard Beale and Blake Ayshford are still out with injuries themselves. Centre/secondrower Anthony Gelling would be the obvious choice but he was horrendous in tonight's game with two dropped passes that could have kept the Warriors in it. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad would be the next best option if Kata is out, considering he won NSW centre of the year in 2016.
The real MVP: For the Warriors it was Simon Mannering who made crucial tackles and provided simple go-forward with the ball. But the real MVP had to be Jack Bird and James Roberts. Bird played great in the halves and him and Roberts used their speed to keep the Warriors defenders in chase for much of the night.
Try of the year: The Broncos scored the dodgiest try of the season so far to make it 27-14, thanks to the glorious bunker. Bunker: Checking the pass....pass is forward. Checking the player isn't over the line....his right boot is on the line. Checking the player has properly grounded the ball....he fumbles it. Checking the player is a Brisbane Bronco....he is. Have a decision and going to the board. TRY.
Fuck off. -
Read my mind bro, given we were a bit flat it was good we stayed in the fight and it wasn't a blow out. Welcome back to the nrl grind lads
