NRL 2017

Gagai is an excellent player and had a very good game despite being behind a well beaten forward pack.
This was one of the more physical yet least penalised SoO matches I've seen.
-
Score looks like a blowout, but man, it was close. Queensland should've gotten two tries, if not for a Gregan moment, and Gilette getting stopped dead at the tryline. Another was a silly drop at the kick off allowing NSW to score a try.
This was a game where all the origin moments went NSW's way.
This type of game would've suited the likes of Slater, Holmes and Thurston.

kind of signals an end of an era IMO, NSW looking the goods
And a lot of the QLD greats careers nearing the end , JT , Cronk , Slater , GI , Smith

NSW forwards were too strong, a new era begins. This will be over in two.

@Sneakdefreak were they what! Fifita was huge in the front row (making up for Woods being shit). But their back rowers, all of them including the bench hammered their counterparts. Cordner has been the best 2nd rower in the comp for a while, and showed it, but others weren't far behind. Quicker feet, more skill, but just as hard, the Qld guys had no answer, except Papalii (the Italian islander) who is fucking punchy.
Gillet toiled away, but did Guerra, Thaiday or even MacGuire add much? Myles was shit, as everyone expected, Lillyman honest, but too old now, and far too one dimensional for a game like last nights.
Qld looked in it while it was a physical battle, but you could see they were the ones who were tiring fastest, and that late try in the first half looked inevitable, even with Qld just scoring. The 2nd half was one-way traffic.
Selection for game 2 gets interesting now. Qld have always done this "we pick a team and stick with it, chopping and changing is what NSW do" but there are a lot of guys in that team who are seriously long in the tooth.
-
Amazing what happens when you don't have a retard from Cronulla captaining the team. A decade of shit washed away.

Fuck the Warriors are appalling
-
@mariner4life Just flicked it over for the first time and see Mannering score.
Turn it over bro, BCs going okay and there's a cracker brewing between Cats and Crows.
-
The Million Dollar Man and Captain Turnstile combine to gift Radradra 90m and the Eels 6 points...
@Donsteppa final straw. AFL it is
-
Flicked it over to see Kata ignore an unmarked man on the outside by stepping back inside, Johnson attempt a chip kick and completely miss the ball, and the Eels go 70m to score. Got my Warriors fix for 2017, don't think I need any more then that.
-
Disgrace. Deadset disgrace.
Sack the mascot, sack the kit man, sack the game day manager, sack fucking everyone.
Start with that overpaid useless shit in the 7
-
Reasons the Warriors lose a lot:
Defensively passive
No line speed
A halfback with a Qld Cup standard kicking gameJohnson is wildly overpaid given his output. He's a huge reason why we suck

I like SJ, but he's way to comfortable at the Warriors and he's not developing his game. He should leave and experience a different environment where the pressure is different and the media scrutiny is up a few notches. He's got the talent, but he needs to work on some of the fundamentals.

@ACT-Crusader you like him? Great. He can run, I'll give him that. He's good for fuck all else. Can't run the team, can't kick, makes bad decisions, all attributes of a quality halfback I think you would agree. And he doesn't have the young excuse now either.
Parramatta have 14 players and we're getting hosed.
-
Paramatta seem to be taking their defensive cue from Tuivasa Sheck. They've waved the Warriors right back into it
@Donsteppa Parra are out on their feet.
RTS did nothing then scores that try? Why would you coach this team willingly?
