Nothing like the Warriors giving their opposition a chance to tie it up at the death

Jaysus. First warriors game in ages and my heart just wasn't up to it after the CWC. We just have little imagination on attack, to the point that gaps were opening for Green when he ran the ball. Nice pace and swerve for that first try too.
We just get face fudged by the officiating. You can barely call it that. Forward passes, half-ass policing of the 10, etc, etc. There is a reason why I record the games then watch with a hand over my eyes!!
Nice to see us do for the DG early. But holy shit when we were running it out with 1-2min left on the clock we had all the urgency of Teresa May negotiating Brexit. FFS lads, show some urgency and pressure the Sharks.
Took an age (it seemed) for Fafita to get his marching orders.
Felt weird with Johnson getting booed. I didn't join in and it was almost as much a reaction to shit ref calls as to him as a player.
Rinsed!! and wtf, they were serving carltons??

Warriors justifiably win considering the amount of shit reffing in this game. Cronulla appeared to be allowed to play gridiron for much of the match with their forward passing.
Warriors' defence was solid and their dummyhalf running (plus Roger charging in from the back) won them the game. Considering they were without Fusitua and Maumalo, and the wet weather in play, they kept it simple and in the middle of the park and that was all they needed. Kodi Nikorima, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Isaac Luke were our top three.
Warriors are now in ninth while the Sharks have tumbled way out of the top 8 to 12th. -
How did the young winger go, Adam Pompey? He went to my school at Onewhero before he went to Wesley. The only other known league player from my home region is David Ewe.

He was steady. Tough conditions so the ball didn’t see the wingers as much as we usually play down the sides.
@Sneakdefreak I was worried when Fusitua was ruled out. He scores tries but more importantly he’s a key guy for us when carrying the ball out of our half. Always makes metres.

Fusitua and Maumalo always provide big metres in the middle of the game due to their hit ups but it was good to see the Warriors turn to dummyhalf running instead of making Pompey and Ayshford imitate Fus and Big Ken. If we do both (dummyhalf run and use Fus and Ken) consistently the team will go on a roll.

Cam Smith is a fucking marvel. 401st game yesterday, did you see how he played?
Caught part of the Warriors documentary yesterday. It made me pine for the days when we still wouldn't make finals, but by god at least we were fun to watch. We are so shit now, we have one player that is worth paying to watch. One. And i wonder if he regrets his move?

He's the reigning MVP so I would say he's fine.

He could be forgiven when you look at some of the players he has to put up with.
-
if he has then he's odds on to move to the Titans!
-
but far out, I hope he and his team are looking out for his health. Dude looks stressed beyond belief and those eyes! pits of despair
-
But he has all the good players the warriors have let go.

Jesus the NRL judiciary is a complete lottery. Penrith's Kikau gets 2 weeks for a "shoulder charge" that he was already binned for. Look at the footage it's barely a penalty, let alone a binning. 2 weeks from the judiciary is an absolute joke.
There's a video of it here.

Did the Panthers get away with an illegal tackle in a previous game? Only reason I see for all these inconsistent decisions is that it's a "make up" for a previous error. They do it all the time during a game.
