6-0 after 8. <br><br>
Bye coach</p></blockquote>
<br>
We've looked good in the last 10 minutes. Making big yards and holding our D line. -
Why can't RTS tackle?<br><br>
We've been the better team for nearly 20 mins they finally shift to the left and we give up another. Shit effort by the fullback lets it in though. <br><br>
12-8 -
Agreed Brandy not enough urgency from the cover. Up your game
-
As I finish typing a complimentary post, we play some matador defence and let them in. RTS a shocker
-
Kata is playing alright actually great runs out of dummy half
-
Good finish. Looks like Blake A is goneski. <br><br>
But man it's disappointing to see a couple of decent ingoal kicks and not forcing a repeat set. -

That's it, 2 injuries and now a try the Warriors will quit

Time I went to bed, I'm wrecked.<br><br>
Huge improvement from the Warriors in the 55 odd minutes I've watched.<br>
They've played more direct and made very few, if any errors with the ball, defense is another story.<br><br>
Despite this, they haven't really threated the Brisbane try line too much. Last plays just haven't quite been on the money and the Broncos have been too good.<br><br>
If they keep playing like they have in the first hour or so, they'll win more than they lose. -
We're fucked. <br><br>
That attack should show the Warriors what to do. Direct with bodies in motion. Not lateral and one-off like us. <br><br>
Johnson has been shit -
<p>Warriors put in another 40 minute performance and the Broncos cruise to a 25-10 victory.<br><br>
Positives:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- The Warriors played a more direct running game which got Luke a little more involved (and got him a try).</p>
<p>- Kata was one of the better players for once. At least he was trying to do something unlike some of the veterans.</p>
<p>- Bodene Thompson was causing trouble for Reed and Milford's side of the field on attack and defence.</p>
<p>- As mentioned, Sam Lisone is all aggression.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Negatives:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- Forget the annual media reports of the boys running over sand dunes - these guys aren't fit enough. Fatigue has been a problem for several seasons now.</p>
<p>- Even before he got injured Manu Vatuvei was struggling. Time to bring in Fusitua (AND KONRAD HURRELL!!!!). Sadly Cappy will bring in Jonty Wright and Matt Allwood.</p>
<p>- Speaking of the soon-to-be fired coach, best image of the night was Cappy sitting in the box surrounded (and I do mean "surrounded") by 4-5 assistant coaches. This was followed by a shot of the Broncos coaching box which showed only Wayne Bennett.</p>
<p>- This was also a good image:</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Best Warriors of the night? Probably Thompson, Gavet and Kata. Yes, Kata.</p> -

<p>I didn't hear his name in commentary until about the 20 minute mark.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Agree Kata was terrific, as was Thompson.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ayshford is yet another 'meh' type player that Cappy loves, never going to create something from nothing. I wonder who the Warriors could use for more impact in that centre position?....???? Hmmmmmmm :think:</p> -
<p>The winners of the wooden spoon? Newcastle Knights. Awful side.</p>

Lara Pitt is hot. Suddenly the pre and post game show is worth watching

<p>Have you managed to find a pic without the 3cm of make-up on her face to make your analysis?</p>

<p>Ah crap, we're going to get beaten to that as well?</p> -
This can't be the same Chad Townsend, he looks like a decent first grade half
