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.

@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'm genuinely happy for the Titans.

Sack the coach, sack the halfback, sack the forwards (not named Harris), sack the centres, burn the jersey, change the logo, change the name from Warriors to something more appropriate...

Warriors were great for the first 10 mins...then turned off the oven and wandered outside for a sneaky ciggie the entire rest of the game. I would blame the bush shirt, but they can be dross in pretty much any strip. It would be much easier if they didn't show those occasional flashes of brilliance, because when they suck they REALLY suck.

Latrell Mitchell with a coat hanger.
Last line of defence and ball runner with a head of steam not far out either.

Latrell is a massive grub

Green offers too little. Ineffective is a nice way of explaining his offensive kicking game. Every week we seem to go up against a half that can kick a spiral bomb. They float in the air and change trajectory right before you catch them. In other words, they are hard to catch. Green goes down their end and puts up picture-perfect parabolas. Not particularly high parabolas. Just high enough to allow the opposing fullback to get into the perfect position to collect them on the full. Low enough that the chasers are nowhere to be seen by the time it's been fielded and returned for 5-10 metres.
He had a goodish game last week and it may have made some of us think he still has something to offer but he doesn't. Good guy and all, probably would have finished his career on a higher note at any other club. But it's seeyu, seeyu later time thanks.

@raznomore I agree. Green is a solid option, but only when you have a really attacking creative 5/8.

Oh sure. And you league fans say rugby has gone soft?
Don't mess with Melbourne.
What happened?
Two guys going for a grubber on the ground, TV ref decides the raiders player took the other guy out without the ball in a try scoring position. Definitely wasn't clear that was the case, if anything it looked like he was swiping at the ball and came into contact with his legs.

Sounds exactly like the Warriors last night

Really hate how a player can milk a penalty in league just by acting like they’ve been decapitated if they get touched on the neck or head.
If it’s that fucking bad just make the refs call it without making us watch the shit acting.

Worst thing is that it was Addo-Carr that made initial contact. And the fact it was a YC just compounded the bad call. Two tackles later and Storm score.
