    Penrith play. Penrith win. But, their attack is clunky as fuck at the moment. They won by 12 last night. One try should never have been awarded. Another was a gift from an early kick gone wrong. They are struggling a bit to create tries.

    But when you dominate field position, and only give up a couple of tries a game, you don't need to create many to win. If, and it's a massive it, another team can put them under scoreboard pressure it will be interesting to see how they go.

    Manly came with a different plan last night. The early shifts to get around the middle we have all talked about. But they also repeatedly kicked early to try and get field position. It worked a bit, but never looked like a tactic that was going to generate points. And then Garrick and the defense had that moment and it was all over.

      Or did you mean it went wrong before it started because they played it at Napier? We all know nothing good happens in the Hawkes.

            Apart from second half handling errors, kicking early too many times cost Manly, Schuster had one, Garrick two (including that one from Garrick who I swear thought he was playing union for a second tries to drive play back into opponents 22) . Even Saab didn't appear to know what was going on and gave up on the chase. They ended up with close to a 50% completion rate in the second half as well and let Penrith back in.

            Now their season is gooone

            I do maintain we have one of the few forward packs that can go at Penrith.

            If Penrith secure a top two spot, then Cows might be lucky enough to find they play a B team in round 27

                @mariner4life nah, you should beat the sharks at home after the bye, you then have Dolphins. I have you making the eight even if you lose to the Panthers. Your draw is better than some others who are on life support

                    Great start Warriors, very tidy, except after both tries Mitch Barnett has dropped the ball on tackle 1 from the kick off.

                    They pay for it with 6 points the 2nd time.

                    Sort your shit out bro, can forgive it once, but twice in a row is not good enough.

                      Barnett needs to get some sticky spray on his hands.

                      Now a breakaway try to the Tigers.

                      Poor alignment by the Warriors to have our two front rowers next to each other and the Tigers 5/8 exploits it.

                          Tuaupiki caught in no man’s land a bit there too. Either really commit to the ball carrier or just sag off

                              Almost. At least our halfback has a kicking game and it’s keeping us competitive. That’s certainly not the Warriors of old!

                                With Egan off, our ruck play is sloppier. Sironen’s passing is a little off.

                                  As untidy as the Warriors have been for the last 15-20 minutes, they’ve kept their composure.

                                  Weight of possession in the last 5 minutes pays of and DZW goes over with a trademark dive for a try just mm’s from the corner flag.

                                      Nah, I think he kicked the first one.. They made mention of Pompey kicking the 2nd goal but they were unsure why.

                                        Egan passed his HIA, hopefully him being on the park will help the Warriors regain some fluency in the 2nd half.

                                          Egan passed his HIA, hopefully him being on the park will help the Warriors regain some fluency in the 2nd half.
