    I miss the Warriors of the early 2000’s.

    At least if they lost they were entertaining. This current mob are boring as batshit to watch and don’t know their way to the try line.

      Pathetic, overconservative, rubbish. First win in 18 months at home for the Titans

        Haha we rush to a scrum like we think we can go 80+ metres. We can barely go 10 metres and score.

          They just shovel the ball from side to side and hope on attack. I wasn’t much of a Shaun Johnson fan, but there was always a chance that he’d spark something big on any set of six. These days...

            RL, the only sport where you can deliberately knock the ball forward to end the game. 🙄

            A good game to miss.

                  Well the Warriors turned to shit as the game went on - but this is another to add to the plus column of the Warriors getting shit treatment from the refs.

                  Egan is so shit, he reminds me of when we had Townsend who barely looked like a decent high school player when playing for us and then went and won a premiership, so Egan's next club should be happy. He's just so slow, his passes are slow, when he runs he looks like a Nana.

                  I didn't mind the jersey. It's not even in the same ballpark as the Central Vikings jersey for the team that didn't exist.

                    Even Oz comms are calling the ref out.

                    Saw a couple I would have thunked were penalties not given.

                      Warriors apparently received ZERO penalties from the on field refs

                                    @canefan Yeah, and as a Raiders fan I hated the Panthers, but those were horrendous. I didn't want to use a photo of piston wristed gibbon Alexander in that jersey.

                                      I really don't know what to make of the Warriors.

                                      Not sure whether to be disappointed or pleased they lost.

                                      Am sad as they're the only league team I have any thought about aside from the Kiwis.

                                      But part of me likes them suffering because of the Mick Watson years and continued years of less than adequacy but they'll be the biggest BRRAAAANND in New Zealand and the whole league is better than rugby bullshit and this is our year but then I want them to win ...

                                      Overall am disappointed with the result.
