What were the odds that it’d be the Warriors benefiting from a refereeing howler just short of half time.... !!

About 50,000/1

The true story about this years version of the Warriors will come out in the 2nd half.
We saw them in front at half time on several occasions last year, just to completely fold in the second.

40 minutes to see if anything has changed.

[Gunner]

How many times will we see Maumalo drop the ball under zero pressure this year?

[Gunner]

Gagai drops a 6 point gift from Johnson.

[Gunner]

Yesss boy.

Maumalo no issues catching that one.

Warriors showing more creativity in the first 50 minutes of this game than they showed the entire 2017 season.

Tohu an improvement over that other ex Melbourne bloke we used to have whose name I can't remember.

[Nepia]

Hiku you fucking hungus

Hoffman.
Actually took me a while to think of his name too.

And yes, you’re right.

[Gunner]

Kata is in.

Wow wow wow, I’m in disbelief.

[Dice]

The bench has been great.

Mid season revival has come early this year

[Nepia]

Good to see RTS questioning the ref this year.

[Gunner]

Dumb from Kata, giving away a penalty like that after a team warning.

Really fucking dumb.

And Souths are in.

[Donsteppa]

Nice change to see the Warriors looking like an NRL team and Souths looking like, well, the Warriors...

[Nepia]

This has been all over the show, Maulmalo gets an intercept and nearly runs to the Warriors line, then Johnson takes a hit up because what are the forwards doing, then Green kicks a 40/20, then unsurprisingly the Warriors turn it over. Nuts.

[Gunner]

Absolutely love seeing a penalty for backchat, about time you woke up to it NRL.

[raznomore]

I will say it now, I like the energy, the talking, the back slapping and the playing for each other. Have not seen this in years.

Green is exactly the player Johnson needed. He is the structured but creative half we need and allows Johnson roving commission.

Although we should have got a penalty in the play of the ball for Green being held down considering we copped three of them in a row.

Also the leadership. After scoring points we’ve seen the Warriors in a tight huddle with the leaders urging the lads to keep focused.

You don’t win the NRL in round 1, but these are some of the more promising signs from the Warriors we’ve had in years.

Alex convo , ex storm and broncos strength and conditioning coach looks to be a massive signing as well , cant remember the warriors looking like this in round 1

[Gunner]

When did we last win in round 1?
