Hate how refs in NRL refer to player's names.
Refer to "Green 6", or "Blue 7". Grrr
Mates call each other by first names. And Ashley definitely wasn't our mate
Warriors lose due to refs ... normal service resumes ...
Warriors lost because they played poorly, and South’s played bloody well.
The refs were absolutely fluffybunnies though.

They missed a clear forward pass in set of 6 leading to try. I thought the charge down rule was ok as DW had a second reaction to grab at ball ( though it would have hit his hand anyway ) but the 10 mins for FB was inconsistent with prior rulings. At least one South’s was as clear as FB but generally I think the rulings in league are crap as they allow too much leniency for falling players with the two on one tackle which is so crucial to the league game. Rugby has it better. You can’t just allow swinging arms to connect with heads of falling players which is what South’s were penalised for but with no sin binnings.

So we can’t play in wet weather….
Far out we had chance after chance in that first half. Not good enough tonight.
-
The bandwagon I was trying to get on has disappeared into the distance. Far out of sight now.
On my Facebook feed there are some posts going on about how bad the ref was. I don't know enough to comment on the ref. That is except to say that the Warriors did not lose due to the ref. They lost because they kept making mistakes and the Rabbitohs barely made any.

Well sort of expected this and at least beat the TAB. Watch the warriors double down next week and lose in Parra if they play like that again. We are playing like flat track bullies at the moment, only turning up against teams down the ladder.

I’m supposed to be going next week so yep expect a loss.
I go to at least a match or two a year and I think I’ve seen them win once in Oz.

@Nepia good chance I am there too, so bound to lose

Moving round for a few teams on the weekend and the warriors were one of them (in reverse). If we are going to make the final eight we will need a couple of big games in our favour given the log jam of teams on similar points giving us a better for and against. Eels have leap frogged us into sixth this week and I wouldn't be surprised if Dylan Brown also suddenly appears against us this week when we play them later, also rumour has it no SJ either.
Apart from Souths, who I expect to finish strong when Latrell comes back, the rest of the teams from 5th -14th all still batting for final spots. The Panthers and the Broncos look like the only two teams that would look like they would beat everyone consistently.
Unbelievably even the Cowboys after their start are now 9th thanks to their for and against, even after their earlier flogging, thanks to their massive win on the weekend.
It is clear the Tigers (while Brooks out), Canterbury and St George are just likely to cough of up free points for the remainder of the year, while the rest battle it out for spots in the eight.

Teams named for the dead rubber for Origin. Some good news though, RCG, Moses and Gutherson will be unavailable to play the warriors this weekend. Hopgood as 19th man will be free to play.

That NSW team is peak cooked Freddie
There is lols everywhere
Tedesco and JAC retained
Bradman Best
The bench is just all over the shop and I assume Leniu will come in to itYou can also argue bringing old man Cody in for a dead rubber is an interesting move.

I don't mind Cody since he is actually paired with Cook and Murray (Murray finally starting) with Yeo benched, but for game 3 sounds like more of just trying to save himself
Best played well against a reggies equivalent team of the Cowboys and he is a big unit, again though Freddie only seems to be able to look at anyone's last game and cant remember anything else.
looks like 3-0 to me though

I had to laugh watching the opening of NRL 360 - all four around the table heaped in on the media boycott ban. Saying it hurts the fans etc. Surprise surprise they are all in the media including the two ex-players Anasta and Gordie.
I’m no fan of the RLPA and I’ve seen the odd industrial blue or two in my time, but they were all singing from the same song sheet without any semblance of reality. The media ban doesn’t hurt fans. It hurts the umpteen number of NRL shows that on the networks.
Whether it’s effective or not is another question. But hurts the fans, turn it up.

@ACT-Crusader given the amount of shit they make up, I don't know if it will change their insights much

@bayimports they were talking about fans want access to the players during the half time and post game.
What? So journos and ex players turned ‘commentators’ can ask the same inane and predictable questions and the players can trot out the same cliched answers.
Now in saying all that, what will be hilarious is if channel 9 or Fox Sports get a bit cheeky and try and stop a player at half time and said player forgets there is a ban and they cross the picket line so to speak

@ACT-Crusader will also will be interesting if a player talks to a fan thinking they are ok and fan records sound bite on their own phone and then sells it to the media
I'm sure someone will forget somewhere

This one-eyed commentary is hilarious. 20 minutes into the first half and they’re already talking “if Parramatta can win this, it would be so good”
-
We are playing like the Golden State Warriors - lots of speed but so many turnovers.
But our defence is good
