        Massive reality check tonight for the warriors. We are starting to look injury ridden with Luke, Harris, Johnson, Kata out among others. We played a bit better in the second 40 but failed to capitalise on the possession we had and put another couple of tries on them. Flush the dunny and move on, Kearney will need to work some magic to plug the holes and get them up for the Tigers

          Tough, hard fought 12-10 loss to the Storm.

          As I didn't watch the first half I'm comfortable completely disregarding it.

            Sounds like they took a page out of the warriors book. Warriors been doing that all year and people have been praising their goal line defence.

                It's what the best teams do. Warriors would do well to go back to what works. 🙂

                  Kearney was a student of Bellamys , some of the warriors defense this year has been very Storm like , apart from last night of course .

                      Our two losses this season have been to Kearney's mentors, Bellamy and Bennett.

                        Although we clearly lost the first half and narrowly the second I liked what I saw after the break. They gave it a red hot crack and that's something other Warriors teams have never done. They didn't give up. No one likes watching their team get raped like they did in the first half but I saw enough in the second to know that this team at least responds to a rev up in the change rooms.

                            Thank goodness. With the ARL bid there a number of investors plus some people will return/remain who have knowledge about the running of the club. The American bid consisted of a bunch of peacocks strutting about talking up typical American bullshit promises.

                                Is he? The only time I've heard him is when he was having to respond to the stupid accusations made by Fale (which were probably straight-out lies). I'll give him a pass for now.

                                  It depends on who you believe from the press reports but I tend to think there has been fault on both sides in the Fale vs ARL fight.

                                  We'll have to wait for the details on the sale.

                                    At least the ARL will consider local league interests. It doesn't rule out mismanagement, look at the NZRL!! I hope they sit in the background and let Jim Doyle do his thing

                                        Great news but I hope they don't rush him back too soon, when he isn't as effective and risking a longer layoff

                                          He's named in the starting 13 but I doubt Luke is playing this week when they face the Wests Warriors. Expect Lino to start at hooker with Lawton on the bench covering hooker and the backline.
