Rocco Berry diet
That was comedy gold, crap defensive play then injures himself by his own unco-ness.
Glad I had a meeting this afternoon which meant I couldn't get over to Brookvale in time for this match (I get a members seat from a mate for Warriors matches).
-
I fell asleep on the couch, have watched the last 15 minutes and we've been pretty energetic albeit with a lack of precision and creativity on attack. In true Wahs style it's all too little too late. Meanwhile the ref has gone YC crazy and binned Turbo and Jazz (deserved), DWZ might have touched down in the corner on the hooter and Boyd converts from the sideline. Wahs lose to a DCE left foot DG. Fark
-
Given we were gifted the fastest try ever at the start, the scoreline is probably flattering. Warriors have some good moments, but as always not the consistency.
Plus the defensive gift that is DWZ. Hard to think of many who've ever been so constantly hapless at positioning.
-
Jazz Tevaga did his best to get the Wahs over the line in the last 10. Gave away a forward pass that changed the momentum, fell asleep at marker for the Sam Healey try, then got binned at the end.
Possibly his best game for the Wahs.

Manly are an enigma. They patches of the prettiest football, and score a bunch of 40m tries.
And then for half an hour they will just suck.
Last night they brought us back in to it.The team is pretty average. There aren't many backs i would keep if we're serious. Some good forwards and i like the young dummy half.
Go find more young backs because ours are cooked.Penrith will flog us next week

And it'll be tougher for the Wahs next year I feel as teams are getting better, whilst the Wahs have a bit of an aging teammixed with journeymen.
They've overachieved massively this year, but next year, I'm thiking they're looking at about 12th-13th.

They should probably push forward with the youth movement. Funny how we can't find young quick wingers at the moment, we used to be a conveyor belt for them
-
Souths and Eels in to the 8 means 2 have to drop out. We're definitely most vulnerable.
-
Agree, we have the worst centres in the NRL, aging second rowers play better for us there. Wingers have great work rate but have far too many flaws. Our halves were also awful last night as well. Ironically we do have some decent talent like Sio Kali but they keep looking elsewhere. Hence we bought a busted souths winger for next year lol

Not wrong.

I think we have one big game left in us before season end. It’s our year

Right I’m calling my ranking early for this before pre season ends, needless to say a bit controversial at the bottom end. To be honest I think you could throw a blanket over the bottom seven.
Storm
Sharks
Panthers
Broncos
Sea eagles
Bulldogs
Rabbitohs
Dolphins
Raiders
Cowboys
Dragons
Roosters
Tigers
Eels
Warriors
Titans
KnightsSo I get a few right this year especially highlighting bottom of the table, where normally it’s 0%. . But missed Raiders and Warriors for sure and Wayne’s Bunnies definitely worst call at the top end.
Biggest miss not putting money on Knights getting the spoon

Ah, gents
Conventional wisdom says of you concede 50 on a regular season game you can't win the comp.
Raiders reserves are willing to test that theory

Don't think they win it anyway, this now confirms it!

Hardly a normal game to test that stat in. Now that the Storm have some key injuries this is going to be an interesting set of finals.
