Warriors give top 8 team a touch up. Beautiful. And somehow we are 9th? There is a lot of credit due here.
Word is Payton is getting the Cowboys job on the back of it
Brisbane fired the coach and still suck. Hilarious. They are bloody lucky the Dogs exist or this would be the most deserved of spoons. And so much chat they are going to give Walters the job? Do they hate their supporters?
Just when Souths look like becoming a contender, they lose Latrell for the year.
Top 8 is locked in now.

That is true, but a low bar. Our expectations aren't too high. Being in the top 20 (I know) is an achievement for the worriers.

TBH, I'm not really too worried about where we're sitting on the table, but more how we're playing. Amazingly, we look like a competent team, in the wins, but also in the recent loss as well.
My mate text me on the weekend and said he was wearing his Warriors jersey out in public again.
-
we're 9th, with a sniff of finals, despite:
Living in another country, with out the players families;
Had a bunch of 1st teamers head home;
playing with loan players from other clubs. -
@mariner4life that whole Tamworth experience and the performance that the boys put on for the people of Tamworth was fucken cool.
Pretty impressed with how the boys have handled this season
-
Just watched the game. Payten has us humming now, enthusiastic and energetic. We look to really be enjoying our footy (why wouldn't we?). I love the fact that so many young fresh players are making a significant difference at the moment. Brown has a decent foundation for next season and there's still all to play for this season. Such a shame the eels won't let their loan players play for us next round
-
Benji's time at the Tigers looks finally up.
Reports he's pissed about it.
A senior half in a team playing dogshit, who is 35, and defends like his shoulders are made of wet paper, is upset a club doesn't want to pay him $300k next year?
riiiiight
-
@mariner4life good fuckin' riddance
And take half the squad with you.
-
The Tigers salary cap is a mess. Reynolds, Mbye, Brooks and Packer are taking up far too much of their cap space. I feel for Madge as he's cleaning up a mess that Cleary has created there.
I think the Titans could be a good destination for Marshall tbh. Ash Taylor would benefit I feel with an experienced head outside him. The Tigers however are making the right decision letting Marshall go.
-
God i love the Broncos. They are a dumpster fire
Today's reports are: Everyone is fired!!! The list of names able to speak to other clubs is astounding. Some of them are good too. I would take Kotoni Staggs and Joe Ofahengaue in a heartbeat.
As if this wasn't funny enough. Reports they want Ben Hunt back! And even a rumour of Benji Marshall! What the actual fuck are they doing up there? Is everyone coked up to their eyeballs.
Pleeeeeeaaaaase let this all happen, and they sign Kevin Walters. They'll be a laughing stock for years to come.
-
Also, let's talk about the Tigers
Michael Maguire is apparently too hard on the poor players, who hate that they might get dropped for shit effort.

Great to see a focus on defense with Payten in charge, pity he will be with NQC next year.
Parra probably going to hit hard after being found soft like a marshmallow by Souths last week

We are playing well, the two loan players will be a loss but not pivotal
-
@mariner4life yep sad that split playing group, especially since like the warriors it was more lack of consistent effort in defence that was causing the tigers issues.

Welcome back mate.

@ACT-Crusader thanks mate, took me a while to get over the cricket hammering by Australia. Typical that COVID didn't come earlier enough to wipe that result out!

righto - how is old SBW going to go tomoz?

Much like his latest AB days. A thumble, an over rated run or two, a bad pass and an off load that will give the commentators orgasms.

20 minutes at lock, so probably not much, although as mentioned 100 minutes of talk about what he could do..
-
@mariner4life They're an embarrassment. I feel bad for Madge now taking on this rabble full of overpaid prima donnas.
-

I read that SBW will be playing through the middle, not on the edges.
I'm sure a no-arms tackle is on the cards too.
And come on the Raiders!

I gotta stick up for the offload to Ma'a in a game in 2015...
That'll do pig
-
Warriors v Parra - arguably the worst sinbinning I've ever seen in any code with Jazz being being binned. Including the 2019 RWC yellow/red card debacle.
-
Jazz Tevaga sinbinned for fighting. Lucky to get only 10. One of the best fights you'll ever see!!
-
Two of the most Warriors tries in a decade scored in the space of 5 minutes.
I'll call it now, we're gonna win by 50
-
If that sin binning wasn’t clear evidence of the different rule book that gets applied against the Warriors, I don’t know what is. Appalling.
-
We are getting no running out of dummy half. Not a fan.
-
Both hands off ball yet it shows he had at least one hand on the ball at all times. Hilarious.
-
A complete defiance of the universal laws of physics.
League knock on laws
-
Atrocious reffing across the board tonight. I'm not one of those warriors fans who thinks the refs consciously have a vendetta against us, i just think it was completely sub-par. Warriors threw about five million forward passes tonight, all of which got missed as well. Hard to come back from that 16 nil down, a lead which was built on the back of that terrible sin binning.
-
Here we go.
-
Hiku you egg.
-
People can criticise the sin bin but rules are rules and Tevaga was stupid enough to throw the short jab.
-
@African-Monkey it's league mate 🙂

Yeah nah.
Should’ve sin binned the Eels player as well then for his chin music too.
-

Disagree. The scuffle started because the tackler was blatantly grinding his head into the face of Tevaga after the tackle was completed. You sinbin one, you have to sinbin both.
-
@Siam I know haha and the rules are OTT, but it is what it is, don't give the ref a reason to penalise you over something soft like that.
@ACT-Crusader Uh, yeah, a stupid play from Tevaga which wasn't needed. Cost the Warriors 2 tries as a result.
-
Some consolation to this NRL round, Tigers beating Manly last night was good to watch.

Coach reckons they got it wrong too. Both should’ve been binned if they went down that path.
