    Mannering is our best player by far in the first 3, followed by Lillyman.

      They'll solve cancer before we solve the Warriors......FML.

      Thoughts:

      • Anaemic. The word when I think of the Warriors' offence. Anaemic.
      • Bet some of you had to google that word.
      • There is no general in charge of the troops. Shaun Johnson just isn't that guy and....
      • Isaac Luke is a joke right now. Can't even pick up a ball. Waste of money.
      • Be interesting if Foran gets onto the field. If he goes well maybe, just maybe, the Warriors think of Hingano/Foran in 2018.
      • To his credit, Johnson was trying along with Bodene Thompson, David Fusitua, Ryan Hoffman, Bunty Afoa and....
      • Simon Mannering. Took on James Graham & co and was shutting them down with each hit up they took.
      • Rugby League Weekly is shutting down? FFS.
      • Former junior Warrior Brad Abbey started at fullback for Bulldogs and was shit.
      • Josh Reynolds is still a dirty shit.

      @Sneakdefreak speaking of cancer, Hayne out injured and the previously inept Titans are going to knock off the previously high-flying Eels

        I used to call Mannering rugby league Reuben (ducks for cover in case Canerbry and Stargazer are lurking in the league thread) but he's clearly one of the best and most consistent Warriors around these days.

            Just to illustrate how fucking shit we are, Manly, who are a basketcase on and off the field, have just gone to Townsville and flogged the Cowboys.

            We can't even go to Dunedin and beat a team that:

            1. Hasn't won since some time last year; and
            2. Travelled from Sydney.

            We suck. This season is a bust.

              Cowboys are missing a few key players but still - Manly winning 30-8 in Townsville? Impressive.

              Great defensive work by Manly, they tackled everything and anything for the final 20 mins. Uate was impressive and so were two former Warriors, Shaun Lane and Lewis Brown.

                That was as bad as i've seen the Cowboys play in many years. In saying that they finished the game with the following first choice players injured; Coote, Winterstein, O'Niel, Feldt, Taumalolo, Scott. That's nearly half their starting 13.

                  I saw the half time stats for the Manly v NQL match and was wondering how Manly were ahead. Haven't watched the second half - they must really have fallen apart.

                  Has Ponga decided who he's going to play for yet?

                      I'm thinking Queensland as well, as unlike Taumalolo he was actually born in OZ IIRC?

                        @Nepia I think so. NZ parents. They went back to NZ for a while then returned to Aus as far as I know.

                          Yeah, I saw him playing some rugby and touch in Palmy when they were back in NZ.

                            After the Warriors gave Des Hasler a stay of execution, the Tigers getting another hiding is making it look like Jason Taylor will be first out of a job

                              @mariner4life The Raiders are looking the goods however - my GF pick for this season is Raiders/Storm.

                                Ugh second pick of the year wrong there. Thought tigers would keep it within the 10 point line but were woeful again. Raiders looked very good

                                  Oh and surprised to see no comments re the officiating in the panthers v roosters game? So many shocking calls. Roosters very luck to get the win there

                                    I'm watching the Roosters replay now and the refs have done them a few favours so far, and that's before the biggest call.

                                    Reports Taylor will be gone in 24 hours. 3 games and fired even though they won one. Who do they bring in? Cleary?

                                      Taylor gooonnne. Former Warriors coach Andrew Webster will take over until they find a new coach (either Cleary or Toovey).

                                          The lack of urgency from the Knights staff to bring their fullback Brendan Elliott off for a concussion test was the most shocking call of the weekend. He had to get knocked out a second time for them to act. Considering the club is being sued for their lack of urgency regarding a former player's headknocks, you think they would have taken that a bit more serious.
