    Oh good. Warriors get aaaaabsolutely written off so I don't bother to get up even though it's live sport and a NZ team.

    They win.

    I'm such an idiot, how could I not know?

          As long as they’re not on Ch9 and only on Fox then this will be likely.

            that crowd noise is f**kin stupid. solid warriors against a shit dragons. that should be the benchmark now - committed, 100% completion through the first 75min, that is the foundation block upon which future warrior sides should be built.

            @westcoastie I didn’t actually mind the fake ambiance. I’ll go as far as saying that it helped me enjoy the game more

              @Nepia it was better than decent. It wasn’t a cricket score but it was as close to perfect as a team can get

                Someone told me the Warriors won a game they had zero chance of winning.

                Where’s that bandwagon, I might just jump on it.

                  @westcoastie I actually don’t mind it. Add in the histrionics from the commentary team and it’s almost back to normal.

                  Warriors defence was 2002-esque. Fantastic effort and discipline too. I actually screamed at the TV when Murchie lost it with only minutes to go.

                    No handling errors until 6 minutes from time? A clean sheet? Clinical. Now there's a word that is rarely associated with the Warriors

                      Where’s @Sneakdefreak ? Still partying in his bubble aye 😎

                      @canefan it was a phenomenal effort considering errors and penalties have riddled our game for the best part of the last two seasons.

                        I am fine with the fake crowd effect - as soon as the game started it fades into the background and we get even more shots of the actual game.

                        Holy shit Warriors - seems they've unearthed a couple of very solid prospects - but the Dragons were beyond shit-house!

                            Caught the extended highlights of Tigers and Sharks, and thought Benji played awesome. Not bad for a 35yo.

                              He does.
                              Probably means someone else will pick him up in a year or two when he has a small dip in form, and then go on to be a superstar because Warriors.

                                The Knights v Panthers yesterday was a cracker. The Knights lost 2 players in the first quarter, one of which was their halfback, and you thought they were done. Penrith got it to 14-0, had heaps of ball and all the field position, and it looked like a big win was coming. Somehow the Knights got on the board just before half time, and would have been pretty happy at 14-6.

                                The 2nd half i kept expecting the Panthers to take control as the Knights tired, and especially having 2 young guys on debut playing big minutes, but they hung in there and hung in there, and with a decent goalkicker, should have won.

                                Golden point was a shitfight, and the Knights should have won it but for the ball not going to the unmarked winger (he was way too flat). Ended up a draw. Game of the weekend easily.

                                        Indeed. I’m sure rugby won’t praise it though....

                                          I should watch the Warriors tomorrow. But i just know that last week was an aberration, and they will stink the joint out, get flogged (by a desperately limited Penrith) and i would get more pissed than usual.
