@westcoastie I didn’t actually mind the fake ambiance. I’ll go as far as saying that it helped me enjoy the game more

@westcoastie I actually don’t mind it. Add in the histrionics from the commentary team and it’s almost back to normal.
Warriors defence was 2002-esque. Fantastic effort and discipline too. I actually screamed at the TV when Murchie lost it with only minutes to go.

@Nepia it was better than decent. It wasn’t a cricket score but it was as close to perfect as a team can get
No handling errors until 6 minutes from time? A clean sheet? Clinical. Now there's a word that is rarely associated with the Warriors
-
Where’s @Sneakdefreak ? Still partying in his bubble aye 😎
@canefan it was a phenomenal effort considering errors and penalties have riddled our game for the best part of the last two seasons.
-
I am fine with the fake crowd effect - as soon as the game started it fades into the background and we get even more shots of the actual game.
Holy shit Warriors - seems they've unearthed a couple of very solid prospects - but the Dragons were beyond shit-house!

@Paekakboyz that young back rower Katoa looks a great prospect
-
Caught the extended highlights of Tigers and Sharks, and thought Benji played awesome. Not bad for a 35yo.

He does.
Probably means someone else will pick him up in a year or two when he has a small dip in form, and then go on to be a superstar because Warriors. -
The Knights v Panthers yesterday was a cracker. The Knights lost 2 players in the first quarter, one of which was their halfback, and you thought they were done. Penrith got it to 14-0, had heaps of ball and all the field position, and it looked like a big win was coming. Somehow the Knights got on the board just before half time, and would have been pretty happy at 14-6.
The 2nd half i kept expecting the Panthers to take control as the Knights tired, and especially having 2 young guys on debut playing big minutes, but they hung in there and hung in there, and with a decent goalkicker, should have won.
Golden point was a shitfight, and the Knights should have won it but for the ball not going to the unmarked winger (he was way too flat). Ended up a draw. Game of the weekend easily.

Haha fans submitted cardboard cut outs for games...

@taniwharugby I was tempted to photoshop a warriors jersey on David Bain and submit it.

NRL getting a lot of praise in AFL media circles for the way they have handled the return and pretty much everything associated with it ,
That doesnt happen often

Indeed. I’m sure rugby won’t praise it though....

I should watch the Warriors tomorrow. But i just know that last week was an aberration, and they will stink the joint out, get flogged (by a desperately limited Penrith) and i would get more pissed than usual.

Luckily for me it's on Fox and they haven't confirmed whether they're playing the Aotearoa Super Rugby yet so if I do watch it will be delayed and I'll likely already know the score.

I didnt see the game so dont have an opinion on it.
But someone ( I think it was Brandy Alexander ) on one of the fox shows said , it was fantastic, but if you were nitpicking , with the amount of possession they had , you would think the elite sides would probably have piled a lot more points on a hapless dragons side who are struggling
