FFS, the first time I make an effort to watch the Warriors in two seasons and they concede two tries in the first five minutes! I am changing channels.
I did change channels! To the Sevens - bloody hell, what a result. This new coach seems to have put some real heart into the outfit. Top work.

That's the game of the fucking season in any code already
Had everything
Fuck I love the 2023 warriors. Everything went against them and somehow they pull off an all-time comeback, on the road, against a contender.
I am so wrong on SJ, he's playing out of his fucking skin. This version of SJ is even better than the flash one from years ago
High entertainment ends in an incredible win. Awesome.

Can
someoneall of you with talent in reverse jinxes work your magic on the Tigers? -

This years SJ doesn’t run cross field and drop a pass off 5 metres away from the line any more. He straightens and sometimes even runs at the line, plus he tackles. His kicking seems better as well. Questions are why he didn’t do this before? And maybe Andrew Webster can have a word to Beauden Barrett about toughening up a bit.

Showing your age!

What really is the point of the Tigers?
-
Yessssssssssssss
What a win. Man we showed some steel. Thought we were cooked but we settled in and didn’t get rattled and just played some damn good footy.
SJ had an absolute stormer. His 5th option kicking was the best I’ve seen from him for so long, if not his best. It was long and high and tactical.
Forwards worked their butts off and even with a YC we just kept our heads.
Man I’m pretty emotional after that. Best game ever (in my best Vossy voice).

I'd prefer if they just called them the Wests Magpies and retired Balmain's legacy tbh.

there needs to be an investigation!...every other warriors team 20-0 down loses by 40 minimum, well done Warriors that was an insane effort
When we were down 30-24 late in the game and the rain started to come down harder I thought we would drop the ball on attack and lose any chance of winning. I even convinced myself that against the Sharks in their backyard coming back from 20, that we had played a great second half and shown we are a very good side even with a loss.

Webster has built his Warriors in a similar way to Mody Maor and the Breakers, based on defence and doing the basics well. That will keep us in plenty of games this season

ok, so, it's already weird, but the Warriors are 2nd!
The Broncos are sitting pretty at the top unbeaten. They flogged the Tigers, and they were a couple of dropped chances from racking up a really big score.
The Panthers ended the Raiders' chance at a premiership, slapping them in Canberra
Melbourne beat Souths with the best defensive display you are ever likely to watch
Manly and Newcastle played out an actual draw. Maybe the Knights will learn to not be so petty and play their contracted players, because Dom Young is fucking superb.
The Dragons put away the Dolphins, who are starting to run out of first graders already.
And the last game of the weekend went to Golden Point, and the Dogs pulled off a fucking miracle to beat the Cowboys in really shitty conditions.Except for the Tigers it's a very tight season at the moment.
-
@mariner4life NRL must be pinching themselves at the quality of the games right now (except any game that involves the Tigers). Just this weekend alone two more golden point thrillers and a missed kick from Hynes preventing a third.
Warriors have a long way to go and as a long time supporter, the first thing that comes to mind, is not about making the eight, but is it enough to not get the spoon lol? Our centres defensively get schooled every week, luckily for us other teams are happy to revert back to a grind against us and we can beat them at that this year. At least there are a lot of positives at the moment. Still hoping Tohu not an MCL, never looked like he would start, just don't know how much was smoke and mirrors from the club.
Roosters will have two games without Tedesco now I think and ironically could be tougher without him to beat, as their spine operated better as a unit
Broncos the team to beat..
