    I was bloody impressed they went the length of the field twice to reach drop goal range. Fitness trainer should be highest paid dude at the club!!

    Exactly what I was thinking. We are super conditioned at the moment, the raiders were gassed and we looked strong right to the end. Luke looking like the player we thought we bought. When he irons out the stupid penalties Blair can be a menace. The young warriors forwards stood up; Bunty and Lisone were immense. Blake Green is the guy pulling the strings letting Shaun be Shaun. It was a total performance, anytime Kata is quietly doing his thing error free I'm happy. Who knows where this will lead but the Warriors have my attention again. Simon Mannering must be dying to get back in

    @canefan Mannering, I had actually forgotten that he isn’t playing.

    Tough choice coming up for Kearney as to who to drop when he returns.

      The seats on this train are rather comfy!

      In a 'never been done before' I watched the replay after the Ed Sheeran concert. (Even though I knew the outcome) That last ten minutes was perfect.

      Adam Blair is a bafoon!

        By the same token, how out on their feet were Canberrra? There was one of those play-the-balls during that final set where our ball-runner was a bit ponderous, but their defence was so slow getting off the mark, he made 15-18 crucial metres.

          Plus we still seemed to fight in the tackle, all those extra metres add up! How good is it to be the fit team! 🖒

                  @mariner4life totes bro - Roosters are pretty much a charity team 🙂

                  Funny parallels with the cricket stuff aye. One of those 'rules' that nearly everyone has pushed (or headbutted) over the years, but one that is increasingly coping more attention and harsher punishment, as tolerance for that sort of carry on drops.

                  They must have utterly labyrinthine systems for accounting for the salary cap - which just makes the 'accidental overspend' claims easier to put forward.

                    @paekakboyz can you imagine how lenient they'd be on the Warriors if they were rorting the salary cap....

                      @taniwharugby I know! although I do think we have a (weak) case, that being the only NZ based team, a bit more $$ is needed to offset the talent that doesn't want to move out of Oz. But that's highly unlikely... hmmm thinking about that more the Cowboys could play the same game! Open season on banter about playing in a shitty part of Oz 🙂

                      No matter how fucked the system is - it needs to be the same for all. Don't play by the rules? you get smacked. End of.

                      But is the system to readily rort-able?? or is it that teams will cheat no matter what?? I think it's the latter!!!

                            He must be sweating bullets, or is confident he's improved his account 'skills' since he arrived!

                              @paekakboyz Hes at the Roosters now. They'll likely take the money for the fine from Manly and give it to him to use at the Roosters.

                                ha ha, far too obtuse! I meant he's at the Roosters now, so if he's doing the same shit I hope he's got better at hiding it!

                                  Speaking of the soon-to-be exposed salary cap rorting Roosters, the Warriors will play them this Saturday. Sam Lisone is suspended after striking a Raiders forward in the final minutes of that game and Adam Blair moves to lock.

                                    Good news warriors fans! I stuck an 8-game NRL multi on this weekend. And after 3 games i am 0-3.

                                    Why good news? I picked the Roosters.

                                      No Johnson and Gavet according to reports.

                                      SJ obviously got injured in sympathy for Cullen.

                                          For once they really have finished an off-season "fitter than ever before"!
