    I'm hoping that Blair thinks this tough guy approach is needed as we get momentum moving in 2018. We've already seen evidence that we can mix it up, so pursuing the niggle isn't a strategy we need to adopt. I guess the coaches would consider there is a time and place for it - but we need to shake our rep as a team that gives away easy penalties. Combined with our shithouse defense last year that stuck the knife in us over and over (and over and over etc).

    I think we may have finally tipped the balance with enough focused and talented new guys (new this year or last) to really smash that shitty culture we showing. Match that up with a squad that is clearly fit and watch out!!

      @paekakboyz Michael Ennis was hinting that every pack needs a Blair type last night on one of the half million Fox league shows.

        @nepia ahh, fair call - I think it's an important part of the game to be able to unsettle your opponents,. Difference is that Blair's approach is crude and easy to spot. More in the vein of thuggery than crafty niggle... although Ennis is the number one grub without a doubt.

          holy shit. One game in and you're swallowing the lure hard out! I am reserving judgement until 3 games after Origin

            @mariner4life ha ha fuck I don't have time to hold off on judgement (best delivered on little info and far too hastily :-)) till that deep in the season. The only concession the warriors have won from me is that I'll watch the next game live, rather than rec and delete, or fast forward viewing.

            The mere fact they are fit and apparently engaged is enough for me.

            Fish on!!

            edit - as in, I'm on the hook, rather than you jogging on 🙂

              @paekakboyz fair enough. I'll take two points any day of the week. I'm tempered by the fact the Bunnies are shit. And we still gave up dumb penalties at dumb times. And that flat fast track suited us.

                            Just can't get excited about a team that contains the names Kata & Maumalo

                              But... if we are only down to two poor selections that's a win imo! When is the greased up deaf guy back? Should push Kata out hopefully.

                                  It's nice to see Cronulla, and their grub collection, go 0-2 to start the year. Flanagan is such a fuckstain.

                                      Watching the NSW Prem warriors and they are rubbish. Lazy, inaccurate and poorly disciplined. The Bulldogs their playing aren't much chop either but they good enough to hammer the Warriors. CNK should has not gone looking for work which you'd think he'd be doing to get back into the top squad. Albert Vete looks average as fuck.
