@sneakdefreak Would Foran be in the team on form? From what I have read - no.

If we were reduced to playing a forward at 6 then yes, otherwise no. It's less the fact we have players in form, more the fact we actually have more than two to choose from for once.
Oh, I forgot Nikorima as well although he's been punted back to hooker by Bennett.

Shouldn't be but Shaun Johnson (and Isaac Luke) probably won't be released by the Warriors for the test in Denver due to their injuries this season so you never know. Foran/Benji could be our halves combo....I would go Benji/Martin.

@raznomore Think Lino will stay with Toa Samoa which is better for rugby league anyway.
Luke has been ruled out of tomorrow's game. Karl Lawton to start and Sam Cook will probably come onto the bench.

@nepia If Lawton plays anything like he did last game then we should be ok.
The beach muscles boy wont have nearly as much influence as Isaac has this year - Blake Green is getting a lot of the plaudits but Luke has been the key to this team this year IMHO.

Green is getting deserved credit. As is Luke. Adam Blair has been keeping his nose clean of late which is good too

Dare we say it, the warriors have one of the best spines this year.

Well the old days are back - in two respects.
- The Warriors are making errors all over the place.
- The reffing is, how do we say, a bit iffy. Blake Green gets laid after a kick and it's play on, a few minutes later and Blake Ferguson gives a celebratory fist in the air for knocking the ball dead before the Warriors could score a try. Refs give the ball to Roosters and they eventually go in for a try down the other end.
Beach muscles and Tevaga have been average filling in for Luke.

Not tonight they don't. Not tonight.

Well, not watching the replay of that stinkarse game.
Oh, hi Mark!
No Luke, no luck: It's no coincidence that their two worst games of the season have been when Isaac Luke wasn't on the field for the full 80 minutes. Karl Lawton and Jazz Tevaga couldn't get anything going in the middle of the park which meant the Roosters just had to target the two halves. When Luke is in form he commands so much attention in the middle of the field that teams have to commit more defenders thus leaving less defenders on the edge.
It's critical to the Warriors this season that Luke is healthy going forward. Put the Maori in bubblewrap.Losing Lino: Bad enough the score but losing Lino to injury is a worse loss to the Warriors. Shaun Johnson needs to drink a large case of harden the fuck up (He can grab a box from Bully's fridge) because the halves depth chart is running out of depth. Unless....Hiku to stand off and the recently returned Gerard Beale to centre? Nah, just harden up Shaun.
The real MVP: The guy who kicked a field goal from 20m and 30m during halftime to win $5,000. I'm not giving the MVP to any of the Roosters. Fuck those guys.
What about the other guys?: Fuck the other guys. Bunch of cocks. Well, they are the Cocks so good to see them living up to their namesake. So where do we begin....Dylan Napa should have been sinbinned for not one headshot, not two headshots but three headshots during the game. The one where he cut Paasi (which was also a shoulder charge) should have definitely been 10 minutes in the bin. Jared Waerea Hargreaves was committing dirty hits through out the game and only got sent off at the end because Adam Blair called him an Uncle Tom or something during a scrum. The refs were allowing way too much dirty play in this game and seemed reluctant to do anything about it. Probably cause the Cocks have the NRL in their backpocket.
Other negative feedback: So new ownership appears to mean a new stadium announcer and it appears the new owners of the Warriors got Jeff from the Glenora Bears to do the announcing throughout this game. Jeff from the Glenora Bears didn't shut the fuck up for most of the game. If he wasn't trying to sell me a new Suzuki Swift, he was trying to get the fans to chant "Defence" when we were down 24-0.

Cam Smith retires from rep footy. Queensland's era is probably over now their big three are gone (Cam, Thurston, Cronk).
