Penrith have lost 6 times this season. By the end, it's conceivable 5 of them will be to teams that won't make the 8

32 will be cut off I guess? Is it possible Souths could still lose to Roosters and make it..Roosters for and against I think is still negative?

If Cows beat Penrith (made harder by last night but their success rate without Luai is about 55%)..I think you might pass them anyway

[mariner4life]

oh thats savagely good

[bayimports]

250 coming up for SJ, St George also looking better last couple of weeks looking for an upset..hopefully the home team just puts them away and TMM gets a tun

[Damo]

Good call from ref and bunker.

Union could learn from that. Guys who knock the ball forward and then catch it should not profit.

[Damo]

Warriors look by far the better team. I don't know how the dragons have been going this year but this should not be close on the evidence of first 15 minutes

[Gunner]

What the fuck was up with that non try by AFB… just get the fucking ball down bro. You owe us 6 points.

We deserved to be up 16-0 after outplaying the Dragons in that half, but 10-0 it is.

It was total stupidity.

Warriors ought to be at least 16:0.

[Damo]

I have to admit I am moderately concerned about this game. Warriors should be well up but aren't. I can see them stuffing this up and going down.

[Gunner]

Metcalfe looks to have done a hammy or something, lucky that TMM is back from his injury, so likely a straight swap next week

We are doing a lot of good things, but just struggling for a bit of accuracy attacking the dragons try line.

We’ve given away a few silly needless penalties early this half too, giving the Dragons plenty of attacking ball.

[Gunner]

Wakey wakey Warriors.

[Damo]

Geeze that was lucky. I don't reckon he lost control of that.

Wahs only just holding on here.

[Stag]

Another very average performance so far against a team well down the ladder. Almost all the players that were in sparkling form have lost it over the past few weeks. The coaches must be starting to worry a bit now going forward into the finals…

[Gunner]

Warriors have been garbage since the AFB dropped try.

Dragons in.

[Damo]

This is worrying now. Good opportunity for Dragons. Warriors are losing the plot.

[Damo]

Phew. Should be fine now.

[ACT Crusader]

Never in doubt @Damo

We are a different side this year. The Warriors of the previous 3 or 4 would’ve crumbled that lead and snatched a loss in the. But our spine held true and a couple of key forwards kept our defensive intensity up.

We’ve sewn up a top 4 spot with that win.

[mariner4life]

Ricky Stuart is a complete bitch, and Canberra are shit.

Also thr teams that needed to win did so it's all on for 8th place next weekend

Just watched the game. We are scary good right now, like a well oiled machine scary good. We will be a tough out in the playoffs

[bayimports]

I think a lot the Warriors problems of late is wet weather, or night games.

Hoping home finals game(s) will be played in daylight hours.. think we are a much better team in dry weather.

Wouldn't have prevented the unnecessary first or second tackle penalties we have been giving away of late instead of allowing us to create pressure, but would certainly improve our handling.

Hoping TMM comes through reggies ok, as Metcalf in tears was not a good sign for his hammy. Walker is a great link and important to the team but not a starting five eight.
