I don’t care about the “ref” controversy, it’s just another smokescreen for this shit arse club. Maybe 0.1% of their shitness is down to poor refereeing but that leaves the bulk down to them.
Also, don’t care if we pay overs for Nikorima as we’re the type of idiot club who plays a second rower in the halves - not a ball playing backrower like a Dymock or Jason Smith but a straight up backrower. We need a half now.
The Kata compassionate leave is more weird bullshit from this club. Why can’t they just drop him and admit they dropped him?
We’ve supposedly got the best CEO, the best talent spotter (who the rest of the comp considers dodgy as fuck), and apparently we have the best coach because he just signed a multi year deal. But really they’re all cabbage.
I usually get to about June/July before I get this pissed off with the Warriors.
I'm not pissed off this year. We were pretty good last year, so the Warriors Way means that this year we will suck. Circle of Life and all that.
Managing your (lack of ) expectation is the key.

Have we just signed him for 500 fucking K a year!! Aggh. Wonder what the agents totally $$ is annually from warriors players and coach!!
-
@mariner4life I try to manage my expectations - but I’ve been told by too many leaguies that Cameron George is the man and it will all be gravy for the Warriors.
I’m like the Warriors of managing expectations.

Nikorima's debarture from the Broncos seems to be going well...
He'll either turn up sulky and sad, or hyper-motivated. Given our history i know which one i am banking on...
-
@mariner4life on what I've heard about his demeanor etc I'd expect chipper. Wasn't he close to be dropped as a starter to? Fresh club and a familiar coach might be a nice change.
Or it all just goes to shit!

Nikorima for halfa mill????
I should lock the thread now.

Moved to Australia as a 12 year old , so might explain having to pay him overs to relocate I guess .

(my NHL team I follow refuses to sign a certain agent's clients).
Off topic, but Walsh (Douin's agent amongst others)?

pffft, how about "do you want a job bro? Or do you want to play in the Qld Cup? Okay, here's $300k and a first grade spot"

He's supposedly on about $250K and described in the video as "the struggling halfback". Despite that the Warriors need someone, Nikorima shouldn't be in such a strong negotiating position to be able to simply double his salary.
Somebody spending someone else's money?

Darius Boyd is the worst fullback in the comp

Is surprising he got to 300 games.

Is there a cap floor in the NRL?

Souths kicking the living shit out of the Broncos. No flies on Bennett.

They didn't do much for that lead, 1 line break
1 stroke of luck
1 good kick
1 interceptDarius Boyd could have done better with a couple of those tries but he plays on his heels these days.
Brisbane have been better than that score line. And they're first to score in the second

Brisbane's surge now done. Comfortable win for the Bunnies and they are looking pretty good.
I'm still struggling to understand how people rated this Bronco roster so highly in the preseason.
Warriors await arrival of 'great buy' Nikorima
