I'm buckled in for this one, maybe foolishly with a bit of optimism.

Gunner

Warriors in first, for the first time this season I think. 
Denied another one by a marginal decision in the bunker. 
Then a couple of soft penalties and a line dropout later, let in an extremely soft try via a missed tackle. 
I'd like to see some stats on it, but I reckon the warriors are right up there in penalties conceded.

Gunner

My god the warriors defense is rubbish. 
Knights up 12-6

KiwiMurph

That 7 Robson is trash.

Gunner

Mannering offloads to thin air. There was no other Warrior within 10m, what was he thinking?

Gunner

WHAT THE FUCK? 
How can they call obstruction, when a; the defense is 5m away, and b; the player supposedly obstructing is 2 or 3m ahead of the guy receiving the ball, meaning the ball carrier is a good 7m away from the d. 
That's fucked!

Gunner

Matulino pinged for pushing himself off the ground after a tackle, using the tackled fullas face for leverage. 
That happens 50 times a game and they suddenly decide to penalise it?

That he was in a team that supports the ball carrier? 
 
;)

Matulino barges a defender out of the way and helps himself to a try beside the posts.

Yay, we're equal points with a reserve grade team. 
 
12-12

I can't see what progress McFadden is making. We look like a team of strangers out there

Konnie warming up as we score on the last

Its the consistent passing above/behind the target that I don't get. 
Last play options/executions aren't greta either. 
Meanwhile the Warriors go ahead with a bit of luck, a last play kick bounces of a knight into the arms of a warrior, a couple of passes later they're in. 
Big Konnie on his feet. Expect him to go fucking berserk when he gets on.

Nicely worked try

Gunner

Lolohea goes in, that's a well executed try. That's also what happens when passes are out in front of the receiver. 
24-12

Nepia

Warriors carving up now - McFadden looks like he's happy he'll be able to pay off the mortgage the rest of the year.
 
24-12.

Hurrell got a huge cheer with his first touch
