        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.

              @sneakdefreak Blake Green was excellent, allowed Shaun to do his fancy stuff. Hopefully he can stay fit

                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.

                  One of the NZ comms just suggested the bulldogs have "stolen the win". It's 8-30.

                    Chad Tavaga throws back to back lazy forward passes and has a nut at everyone else.

                      Hoping the mediocrity at the warriors stays in the lower grades.

                        I don't know if we'll win or lose, but so far the Warriors are looking more like the glory years Warriors than last year. Lots of ball movement, good running. Just as I write this we lose the ball early in the tackle count in the shadow of the titans' posts, they come back, and we go length of the field only to fall short ,that's the Warriors!

                          Two brilliant tries for the Warriors, 12-0 😊

                            Titans starting to look tired , if the warriors can execute, they should put on a decent score

                              I don't know how good the Titans are, and we have not been perfect. But exciting warriors style footy, tough defence, very good organisation and execution. The razzle dazzle is back to Mt Smart baby!

                                20-8 to the warriors, first 2-0 start since 2009 😁. It's early but Stephen Kearney might be on to something. Harris and RTS were brilliant, Blair was everywhere and played more disciplined. Blake Green is making Shaun shine

                                  2-0. A few teams i wouls call better than us with a worse record. Nice soft draw to open the season though.

                                  Still the same old shit with the penalties, we give them away at the worst times, either to compound an error, or to completely undo a good piece of play.

                                  Still, we seem to be fun to watch again, and we're winning. I'll fucking take that.

                                    Our goalline defense was fricken awesome. Swawming them and putting in the hits when required. That was the biggest positive for me.

                                    RTS is pure class, he would carve up in either code.

                                    Fun game and great to see a good crowd again at Mt Smart. SJ forming a good combo with Green already bodes well.

                                      Had a few so apologies.

                                      There more to like than not. Seem to be getting it done while still leaving an absolute fuckload of points on the field.

                                      Green seems to have adjusted quickly to the off load game. Johnson is a pretty player to watch when the reigns are in someone else hands. RTS is shit talker but a good leader(according to Brandy) and he did a lot of leading from the front today. Very loose with the ball at times but the defense was a thing of beauty. Penalty count was shit. Surprising not real part in that was played by Blair. But I saying that he was such a non feature I can not really remember his name mentioned.

                                      GC are a team of left over and nobodies. They did well to keep it to 20 but I can not help but feel a better team would have made thing harder in our red zone. GC had some opportunities go against them but they weren't all that threatening really. A steam with a better offload game and a stronger bigger pack would have made made life hard for us.

                                      Fair play to the Warriors though. They played what was in front of them and that's all you can ask of them. Some really enjoyable passages and the huddle, refocus thing is excellent. Johnson needs to sort his kicking out. 2 games in row he's been average off the tee.

                                      Oh, well played Maumolo. Could not fault his performance. Well played that man.

                                        Just the third time in our history that we have won our opening 2 games of a season.(assuming the Ferald is correct)

                                          Didn’t see the game, but great result.

                                          These are the type of games (against lesser teams) they need to keep winning if they want to be taken seriously.

                                          2 & 0 is just crazy after getting accustomed to us being 0 & 4.

                                          In other games when I flicked over for a look the Bunnies were up 14-6 with 10 to go and wind up losing 14-18.
                                          Very Warriors like that is.
