he's having a great season in a team performing waaaay above expectation.

Maybe above your expectation!

Warriors playing the league leaders St George for some Friday Night Footy. St George are the ultimate bogey team for the Warriors, they've always dominated the Mt Smart club, so the Warriors go into the game as the underdogs. Simon Mannering starts in the secondrow and although Kata is named to start, he's listed as doubtful so Anthony Gelling will probably start at centre instead.

@sneakdefreak what do you reckon Kearneys attraction is with this Gelling fulla?

He looked seven shades of shit last week when he came on.

This Fale guy makes me nervous. I think I'd sooner have Watson keep the club, better the devil you know

[booboo]

@canefan was going to post that this Fale fulla seems like dickhead

[Sneakdefreak]

@canefan At least with Watson you know the club is financially stable. This is just dumb and childish from Fale to claim the ARL is against Pacific Islanders when their own clubs are largely run by Pacific Islanders. I'm hoping Watson decides to continue owning the Warriors until a better ownership group comes along.

Main attraction is that Beale and Ayshford are currently injured and they don't want a young player sitting on the bench for 75 mins when they can play 80 mins in the NSW Cup. However I personally would start Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad at centre if Kata can't play.

[Sneakdefreak]

So Gelling is in for Kata (ankle injury) and Mason Lino is in for Shaun Johnson (leg injury).

[mariner4life]

Game of the season right here. Error after error. 6-0 roosters over the dogs.

Foran is so shit

[raznomore]

@mariner4life fuck what a horror show.

You can see why the warriors were so shit last year. Foran was clearly stinking up the joint***. How lucky are we he jumoed ship.

***not soley his fault of course.

[Sneakdefreak]

I think Foran is done as a NRL player. Mentally he just isn't there.

[Gunner]

What a start by the Warriors.

3 very good attacking sets and one excellent defensive set and now a try to start the game.

[Gunner]

And then concede back to back to back penalties...
But excellent goal line defence and Dragons knock on gets them out of this particular pickle.

[Donsteppa]

5 tackles to make 15 metres for the Warriors on that set.

[Gunner]

@donsteppa yep too lateral on that set

[Donsteppa]

@gunner Luke has finally figured out the need for a dummy half run on this set.

[Gunner]

Just in case anyone didn’t know already, Warriors love giving away penalties.

[Donsteppa]

Huge defence from the Warriors.

[Donsteppa]

Tackling Bunty Afoa looks like trying to stop a freight train.

[Gunner]

@donsteppa was just going to say I love his play.

Gives it everything, every time!
