Serves me right for watching the Warriors ...
Was thinking the same, as good as they’ve gone this year I haven’t watched many games…. When I have it hasn’t been pretty.
A bit like my club side this year actually.
I should just stop watching.
I blame you

A throwback performance from the Warriors tonight. After they got the first five penalties in the match, it's hard to blame too much other than themselves for being 22 - 6 down.
It’s a weird one.
Firstly, the Bunnies have been exceptionally good in these conditions.
Warriors started well, without setting the world on fire, then got progressively worse as the game wore on. I don’t think that’s due to lack of heart as was the case in previous years, more just one of those off games, when the harder you try, the more things don’t go your way.

Hate how refs in NRL refer to player's names.
Refer to "Green 6", or "Blue 7". Grrr
Mates call each other by first names. And Ashley definitely wasn't our mate
Warriors lose due to refs ... normal service resumes ...
We didn't seem to be on our game. But the ref gave Souths a helping hand, which they took advantage of

Warriors lost because they played poorly, and South’s played bloody well.
The refs were absolutely fluffybunnies though.

They missed a clear forward pass in set of 6 leading to try. I thought the charge down rule was ok as DW had a second reaction to grab at ball ( though it would have hit his hand anyway ) but the 10 mins for FB was inconsistent with prior rulings. At least one South’s was as clear as FB but generally I think the rulings in league are crap as they allow too much leniency for falling players with the two on one tackle which is so crucial to the league game. Rugby has it better. You can’t just allow swinging arms to connect with heads of falling players which is what South’s were penalised for but with no sin binnings.

So we can’t play in wet weather….
Far out we had chance after chance in that first half. Not good enough tonight.

The bandwagon I was trying to get on has disappeared into the distance. Far out of sight now.
On my Facebook feed there are some posts going on about how bad the ref was. I don't know enough to comment on the ref. That is except to say that the Warriors did not lose due to the ref. They lost because they kept making mistakes and the Rabbitohs barely made any.

Well sort of expected this and at least beat the TAB. Watch the warriors double down next week and lose in Parra if they play like that again. We are playing like flat track bullies at the moment, only turning up against teams down the ladder.

I’m supposed to be going next week so yep expect a loss.
I go to at least a match or two a year and I think I’ve seen them win once in Oz.

Moving round for a few teams on the weekend and the warriors were one of them (in reverse). If we are going to make the final eight we will need a couple of big games in our favour given the log jam of teams on similar points giving us a better for and against. Eels have leap frogged us into sixth this week and I wouldn't be surprised if Dylan Brown also suddenly appears against us this week when we play them later, also rumour has it no SJ either.
Apart from Souths, who I expect to finish strong when Latrell comes back, the rest of the teams from 5th -14th all still batting for final spots. The Panthers and the Broncos look like the only two teams that would look like they would beat everyone consistently.
Unbelievably even the Cowboys after their start are now 9th thanks to their for and against, even after their earlier flogging, thanks to their massive win on the weekend.
It is clear the Tigers (while Brooks out), Canterbury and St George are just likely to cough of up free points for the remainder of the year, while the rest battle it out for spots in the eight.

Teams named for the dead rubber for Origin. Some good news though, RCG, Moses and Gutherson will be unavailable to play the warriors this weekend. Hopgood as 19th man will be free to play.
