We score first, good to see we haven’t given up.
Holy shit we are absolutely being fucked over by the ref. Some total head scratchers, cheating fluffybunny.
Why we didn’t challenge that last one which gave them an easy 2 is beyond me though.
-
Can’t play as poor as we did in the first half and expect to get a result.
Second half was much better, showed heart to come back at them, especially after losing CNK and Metcalf to injury.
I’m the least religious person you’ll ever meet, but can we all pray that those two don’t have serious injuries…

strange old comp. in four of their last five games the Dolphins have racked up big scores, three of them above 50, and in the other they lost to Newcastle.
The Warriors are cooked. That Penrith game will be the turning point for both clubs.
Melbourne are really good. The Sharks are not.
The Titans hosting the Cowboys was low quality high scoring fun.
-
Origin teams out. NSW unchanged, but Billy has shaken shit up. Big Papa is back from Origin retirement for one more dance. Former meme Bronco Shibisaki is in the Origin team while being on a training contract. Hammer is at the back where he belongs.
-
Dont mind the Gehmet pick, he has been one of the more consistent broncos players and a solid centre. Him and Erin Clarke the two most improved players in the comp

Im giving the wahs some hope, purely because they have been caught the last two weeks with injuries during and still stayed in the fight.
Tanah has carved up in reggies and I dont mind TMM, he cant tackle but he can attack. Coach doesnt trust him though. So Boyd probably straight in. As long as CHT is not kicking goals we still have an outside chance of decent finals. Cant see us winning anything though, mind you didnt see us in top 4 either
And hopefully Taine on the wing over DWZ and Kosi, Roger at fullback would be nice. Although I suspect Taine goes to fullback and Kosi retains his position.

Well done to Shibasaki as well. Great story on never giving up. From QLD Cup regular to Origin starter in less than a year. Great stuff!

I'm with my fellow Warriors hater @mariner4life, they're cooked. The injuries is the excuse but they were done in that game before the injuries started hitting.
The one saving grace is we stupidly have another bye so maybe Webby can work his magic and get the team to bounce back from multiple losses.
RTS for fullback though, it's crazy to continue to play him on the wing if CNK is out (still a bit crazy to do that when CNK is in ...)

The good news is the early wins mean we are still a couple of wins in front of the pack. 7-8 wins covers 5-10th so there is still a risk that a run of outs can drop us right out.
Though it would take the Sea Eagles and Sharks finding unknown levels of consistency.
-
The Spoon race is wide open, the Tigers are using their vast experience to slip themselves back in to it.
11th to 17th are in a funny spot where they can see the top 8, but also the spoon. Some very ordinary sides at the moment. And the NRL wants to add two new teams...

We also have an very easy draw when compared with others teams for the run in, we may luck our way still into top four when you see who we play compared to others
Its just how far can we fall is the question, historically a cliff is not out of the question, if we start losing to the Titans, Tigers and Newcastle (mainly at home) then we should probably give up anyway
