    That penalty was rubbish. But our inability to slow down their ball is costing us big time. They are making metres at will. The speed of Hughes is killing us.

      I reckon it's silly not to play RTS at fullback. Let Walsh get used to 1st grade on the wing like RTS did.

      RTS is wasted on the wing. If he's not playing fullback at least bring him into 6.

      Also, Kayo is such a rubbish app, spent half the game dropping down to 720p. Never happens with Stan. Problem is I can't complain as I'm leeching off a mates account.

        The Warriors left hand side defence was as intimidating as a wet bus ticket in the first half, but the half time TV pundits think RTS talking to them from the back will magically fix half-pie commitment.

          On phone, can't post link but

          Check out old.mates monstrous shoulder charge in the dog's v sharks game. This guy who is built like a fridge absolutely irons out this dogs player. It's an awesome hit that 5 years ago would have been in season highlights packages.

          He was very lucky to only get 10 minutes in the bin. Chances are high he'll get a few weeks on top of that

              Ha! I was just about to comment on Egan’s dummy half passing, but he set that try up well.

                Fortunate to be only down 22 with a stat like that.

                  No team in the history of the NRL / Super League have been able to get away with extra wrestling and lying all over ball carriers at the tackle like the Storm. It’s so blatantly obvious too.

                    @nepia I think RTS is defending on the right wing and moves into the halves on attack.

                        The Crusaders of the NRL, just substitute lying over ball carriers at the tackle with, no wait, that can stay.

                          @nepia Crusaders of the NRL sums it up nicely, they get away with murder these buggers. And of course at least one pathetic decision has to go against the Warriors. Tom Curran put in the bin and for what. It was a simple accidental head clash, nothing more, but no Curran gets put in the bin. Even the Aussie commentators were blowing up about that one.

                              @canefan I am sure they will, getting 10 for an accidental head clash was a terirble decision.

                              Mind you, always thought we were going to get beaten in this one, especially with Tohu as a late out due to concussion. Walsh had some nice touches but if the warriors are serious about going the top 8 this year, they will need to play RTS at 1. Perhaps Walsh can float on the bench as a third play maker. Given Paul Turner is out for the season it is a possibilty.
                              It was nice to see Maumalo score a couple, that might just get the confidence going, hopefully he uses that correct some of his defensive lapses.

                              @ACT-Crusader you did say it could be worse , we could be the Tigers. I suspect you havent seen the draw, we also come up against the one man team the Manly Sea-Turbos in two weeks again. If Tommy's hammys dont go for a tear on the corso again, I suspect he will be creating carnage against us soon.

                                  And now i understand the Townsend signing. An experienced professional half to teach the young fulla. Townsend will do the bulk of the organising and kicking i imagine, and let Deardon just play.

They have nothing in the spine. A bit of attacking talent out wide but no way to use them, and a whole heap of cap taken up by young forwards who only show up once a month. They need to burn the place down and start again.

                                    A little under a 3rd of the season done, and it is looking like only 3 teams can win it

                                    Penrith, Melbourne and Souths.

                                    The Roosters i am only counting out because injuries. Parra i rule out based on history.

                                    Everyone else is looking at 2022. Even if they make finals it doesn't matter.

They need to burn the place down and start again.

                                        They need to bring in a Adam Reynolds and a leader in the forwards and they could be ok... they have the quality they just dont seem to have the leadership or belief in what they're doing.

                                        Dearden to cowboys - how do you reckon he will go? Not sure how him and Chad will go... to different style of players and a weak forward pack

                                        And now i understand the Townsend signing. An experienced professional half to teach the young fulla. Townsend will do the bulk of the organising and kicking i imagine, and let Deardon just play.

                                        The Broncos are fuuuuuuucked. Clearly Seibold was the issue... I reckon poor Kevvie gets home at night and just hates his decision. Hates it. They have nothing in the spine. A bit of attacking talent out wide but no way to use them, and a whole heap of cap taken up by young forwards who only show up once a month. They need to burn the place down and start again.

                                        They need to bring in a Adam Reynolds and a leader in the forwards and they could be ok... they have the quality they just dont seem to have the leadership or belief in what they're doing.

                                        They seem to come out firing. But then as soon as something goes wrong all heads drop and they go back to being shit.

                                          yeah, they need a lot more than that. They have holes everywhere, bad contracts, a coach with little tactical acumen, and a complete lack of heart throughout the whole squad. I am not sure they can attract a good player, especially because the last thing they need is another massive contract.
