@act-crusader Manly have to be firming as favourites to win the wooden spoon.

I go on a few sports forums in a few different codes ,

it's interesting, common theme , all groups of supporters claim they are the victims when it comes to reffing decisions.

Except the Storm. They just get fucked over and their titles stripped years later

Isaac Luke is out of the game against the Gold Coast Titans and the return of Tohu Harris has also been put back a week too. No decisions on what the match-day squad will look like but I'm guessing this:

VODAFONE WARRIORS

1 ROGER TUIVASA-SHECK (c)
2 DAVID FUSITU’A
3 GERARD BEALE
4 SOLOMONE KATA
5 KEN MAUMALO
6 BLAKE GREEN
7 SHAUN JOHNSON
8 JAMES GAVET
22 MASON LINO
10 AGNATIUS PAASI
11 ISAIAH PAPALI’I
13 SIMON MANNERING
14 JAZZ TEVAGA
Interchange:
15 SAM LISONE
17 BUNTY AFOA
20 KARL LAWTON
21 LEIVAHA PULU

Woefully poor defence from Kata just after half time.

He’s brilliant as a try finisher.. just not at the end you would hope

[Donsteppa]

FFS!!!

20 - 12 to the Tightens at the 50 minute mark.

Increasingly seems like the difference between the 2018 Warriors and previous vintages is that we had our traditional State of Origin run at the start of the season instead...

[Virgil]

Aaannnd it’s done.

[Donsteppa]

26 - 12 to the Tightens at the 60 minute mark...

Warriors increasingly in a fight with the Tigers to see who can be the most casual team to round out the top 8. Luckily the Tigers were also poor this weekend.

[Sneakdefreak]

Luckily didn't see this game but it sounds similar to the Penrith match - they turned up for a holiday instead of doing some work.

That second half was pathetic. Why does Auckland suck at sports?

A kids lemonade stall is more professional than an Auckland sporting franchise.

Maybe if we call them the Canterbury Warriors & Canterbury Blues.....

Roosters v Melbourne firming as the likely GF

Yeah but the Warriors ruined them by sending Kieran Foran over to their salary cap.

[Chris B.]

Five games left and the Warriors are more clinging to 8th and a play-off game, rather than charging into the Finals as a threat.

They have Dragons, Knights, Bulldogs, Panthers, Raiders

Wests have Knights, Raiders, Dragons, Manly, Rabbitohs

Pretty similar assignments - I'd guess the Warriors need to win two of these to be safe in 8th. One might be enough.

But, reasonable chance after next weekend Wests will be only two points behind. If they're not they're in trouble!

[ACT Crusader]

@chris-b 4 of the 5 are winnable. Panthers being the one that I think we'll struggle against.
