I don't know, hence using terms such as may, some etc.

@antipodean maybe 10 years ago but I don’t think the ‘lazy poly” sentiment will feature in this matter.
The legal points are interesting from what I’ve read at least and I can see even a conservative SC justice leaning in the player favour on a few of them.
The reasonableness of what allegedly occurred in my view even fails the pub test let alone the legally defensible test. So the procedural fairness not being afforded to Topine should get up.
So the Bulldogs lawyers will probably have to make concessions but will fight the corporal punishment charge (a fairly high bar), but the strategy of Topine’s legal team will be to get into the minds of those making decisions about what happens when a player rocks up late to training.
Popcorn worthy viewing for sure.

NRL: Warriors sign Jett Cleary, younger brother of Panthers star Nathan
The younger brother of premiership-winner Nathan and son of former Warriors coach Ivan Cleary is set to head to Mt Smart.

Every warriors game looks exactly the same. Start well, be on top, score early. Then every set is good metres followed by a bomb to our right. Set after set. No contesting. No variations. Give away penalties. Other team gets in to their rhythm. The lead evaporates.
Sometimes we come back. Sometimes we don't.
We are very predictable and not exciting to watch in this mode.

Not looking great at the moment. Last two games we have had super leaky defence. Lacking imagination on attack.
Johnson with one grubber and very few runs (if any), which are worthy just to keep the defence guessing.
Great support from fans though. I’m loving watching the Warriors at the moment even if I’m not a die hard. Lots of family and friends are. -

I don't know how they held us out in the final 10 minutes. But we shouldn't have dug the hole we found ourselves in in the first place
They were gassed more than 20 from the end. We were abysmal. We should have put them away yet our only moves are hopping AFB barrels over or kick to Perriera's wing. If the Titans had a wing who could catch a high ball then we'd only have one tactic.

Just got back from two-up and this was on the TV in the background. Why are the Warriors persisting with this three legged donkey on the right wing? In the second half his defensive shithousery gifted the GC two tries. The GC fer fuck's sake.

Warriors have some problems, they’re not terminal, but will be if they don’t sort it out ASAP.
Going to sleep after 20 minutes… again, what the hell is going on there?
At times attacking inside the 20m we look like our players just met each other in the pre match warm ups… 🤦🏽♂️
I think Egan, Johnson and TMM aren’t running it enough, we get too into playing the percentages and these guys forget how good they are when they have a go.
God that was frustrating.
Fuck fuck fuck

How the fuck do you lose that. I think you’re right they’re not terminal but there are some really worrying signs though where they switch off.
DWZ and Montoya both going through really bad out of form spells at the same time.
Short of middles and some tactics just not working, think we would all like a couple of variations from “trust the process” which just is not working in attack.
Still a game we should have won
Looks like the Roosters finally played to the ability of their squad, shit they are good when they click
I’m going back to the drink ..
-
League loves to wank on about how superior their players are to their union counterparts in terms of defence ( Ok this cliche may be 30 years old ) but by Christ DWZ was an absolute turnstile ( same as last week )
to be fair 30 years ago it was true , union is very different now in that area though
-
well, i for one would like to thank both the Dragons and the Bunnies for taking the spotlight off that shithouse Warriors performance. The story today could easily be how we folded at home and gave the Titans their first win.
But no, today it will be that the Roosters are back, and the fact that the Dragons had 60 put on them, and how the Bunnies were eliminated from premiership contention because Melbourne put 50 past them.

The Warriors need a hard reset.
Our attack has gone to shit. Linebreaks are non-existent, but our completion rates are awesome. We're back to that shit we played under Nathan Brown. Last year a strength was the complete faith in the process. This year it's a weakness because when it's not working, we're not trying anything else until we are chasing the game.
SJ isn't challenging the line enough, our sweep plays involve too much lateral running, and teams are just sliding. I am not sure of the stats, but i feel like our wingers score the smallest percentage of our tries in the league.
We're rubbishing Montoya, but he gets no ball in attack, gets no balls kicked to his wing, he's basically there to cart the ball out of our own end. We have no plan to get Roger in space, and to be fair, he doesn't look like taking the outside shoulder and putting a winger away.
Dallin is Dallin, rocks and diamonds. But there aren't many diamonds as he is starved of opportunity.
TMM is a waste of space. Harris is digging in to the line, but too often his pass is too deep, and the opposition knows it's coming.
I am fucking sick of the same set being played over and over for no result. Great plan if you have Penrith's defence and discipline. You get rewards. We can't force errors or jam a team in their own end. And then we'll give away a late penalty.Webster needs to take a step back and have a look, i reckon we need the bye desperately for a reset. If every game looks exactly the same, it has to be by design.
