19 missed tackles in the first half by the Warriors.
Fortunate to be only down 22 with a stat like that.
“We’ve started the second half well”

I reckon it's silly not to play RTS at fullback. Let Walsh get used to 1st grade on the wing like RTS did.
RTS is wasted on the wing. If he's not playing fullback at least bring him into 6.
Also, Kayo is such a rubbish app, spent half the game dropping down to 720p. Never happens with Stan. Problem is I can't complain as I'm leeching off a mates account.

No team in the history of the NRL / Super League have been able to get away with extra wrestling and lying all over ball carriers at the tackle like the Storm. It’s so blatantly obvious too.

The Crusaders of the NRL, just substitute lying over ball carriers at the tackle with, no wait, that can stay.

@nepia Crusaders of the NRL sums it up nicely, they get away with murder these buggers. And of course at least one pathetic decision has to go against the Warriors. Tom Curran put in the bin and for what. It was a simple accidental head clash, nothing more, but no Curran gets put in the bin. Even the Aussie commentators were blowing up about that one.

Head of referees will come out on Wednesday and say Warriors was robbed yadda yadda yadda

@canefan I am sure they will, getting 10 for an accidental head clash was a terirble decision.
Mind you, always thought we were going to get beaten in this one, especially with Tohu as a late out due to concussion. Walsh had some nice touches but if the warriors are serious about going the top 8 this year, they will need to play RTS at 1. Perhaps Walsh can float on the bench as a third play maker. Given Paul Turner is out for the season it is a possibilty.
It was nice to see Maumalo score a couple, that might just get the confidence going, hopefully he uses that correct some of his defensive lapses.@ACT-Crusader you did say it could be worse , we could be the Tigers. I suspect you havent seen the draw, we also come up against the one man team the Manly Sea-Turbos in two weeks again. If Tommy's hammys dont go for a tear on the corso again, I suspect he will be creating carnage against us soon.

Dearden to cowboys - how do you reckon he will go? Not sure how him and Chad will go... to different style of players and a weak forward pack

And now i understand the Townsend signing. An experienced professional half to teach the young fulla. Townsend will do the bulk of the organising and kicking i imagine, and let Deardon just play.
The Broncos are fuuuuuuucked. Clearly Seibold was the issue... I reckon poor Kevvie gets home at night and just hates his decision. Hates it. They have nothing in the spine. A bit of attacking talent out wide but no way to use them, and a whole heap of cap taken up by young forwards who only show up once a month. They need to burn the place down and start again.

A little under a 3rd of the season done, and it is looking like only 3 teams can win it
Penrith, Melbourne and Souths.
The Roosters i am only counting out because injuries. Parra i rule out based on history.
Everyone else is looking at 2022. Even if they make finals it doesn't matter.

They need to bring in a Adam Reynolds and a leader in the forwards and they could be ok... they have the quality they just dont seem to have the leadership or belief in what they're doing.

They seem to come out firing. But then as soon as something goes wrong all heads drop and they go back to being shit.

yeah, they need a lot more than that. They have holes everywhere, bad contracts, a coach with little tactical acumen, and a complete lack of heart throughout the whole squad. I am not sure they can attract a good player, especially because the last thing they need is another massive contract.

Start by showing the kids they need to perform for the whole match. If I was kevy I'd fire milford and drop Croft. Hopefully the kids might realise they need to perform or leave. Start staggs and dearden in halfs.

Oh well another loss to the Storm. It could be worse, we could be the Tigers...

and, because he is the only target that might work for the media, the drums have started for Maguire
Firing him would be just another terrible decision in a long line of terrible decisions at Leichhardt. Cleary fucked that joint and then jumped ship. In a crowded field, the contracts for Packer, Reynolds and Mbye are up there with the worst in the NRL. The list of players the Tigers have lost that are now stars is startling.
There are some terribly run clubs in the NRL.

Yeah not just Clearly, but he did make some terrible recruitment decisions which have continued even in the Madge era. That list of players the Tigers have lost during both is second to none and insane and considering that it includes Tedesco and Papy. Even Corey Thompson looks like Nofo in his prime at the GC right now. Imagine having both on each wing.

Hopefully this means they fight the Curran charge, interesting halves selection..

@bayimports That's a lot better than Sunday's team. I like RTS at 1 and Walsh at 6.
Should be a tough game. Cowboys are on a 3 game winning streak and have Taumalolo back.

Roger going all out for the team in his last year. I'd like a fully healthy Roger coming to Auckland/Blues though.
It was also revealed that Tuivasa-Sheck required stitches before kick-off after dislocating his finger during the warm-up at AAMI Park.
Prop Kane Evans said he thought 18th man Paul Turner was going to be called in to replace Tuivasa-Sheck.
“It was a blood bath. I thought he wasn’t going to play,” Evans said. “It was popped out and there was blood everywhere.
“But he just popped it in and they had to stitch it up, then tape it up, and he still played hard so hats off to him.”
