Corresponding game last was 70-10, Warriors were annihilated. This game shows how far they have come, sure they didn't win.

Should have gone to the bunker. Commentators seemed to think it would be hard to be sure it wasn't knocked on but it looked like a knock on just from the standard replay. Warriors at least showing they are the real deal this season despite the one-sided officiating.

Back to normal service from the refs when it comes to the Warriors playing in Melbourne. That sin binning was rubbish.
We played an almost perfect 1st half. SJs kicking was excellent. We were making yards up the middle. We moved the ball down the left side with speed and really cut up the Storm edge defence.

losing CNK didn't help either, he was having a great game..given 11 day stand down period, he won't be available for next match either

Or the rest! They started running through us at the end because we had no one on the interchange bench. Everyone was forced to play more minutes than usual

@canefan absolutely injuries to whole team impacted the result (and how many we might be able to name next week), just thought CNK especially was causing the Storm problems even while we were down on a couple of troops

@bayimports CNK has proved a major upgrade on Reece Walsh. Very brave and has taken a lot of punishment. He will be missed, he does need to be rested.

I can't remember if he left before Zelekniak got exposed. He is a steadying influence though. Even through it all, I thought the boys stayed focussed and calm. If we cut down our error rate in the first half, we could have put them away by then

that was heartbreaking. That game was winnable. But you lose your FB and your ball-playing middle and your attack is going to go to shit. Throw in losing the rest of the bench, and you are pushing shit up hill to win
Fucking DWZ, two tries as a direct result of him defending absolutely fucking no one. Back to Cup for you champion (except oh shit we'll need him to play next week).
Now, if i may have a whinge
Get absolutely fucked ref
I can live with the sin bin, but for a Warriors player to get it against the Storm after fucking NAS broke egans jaw last year hurts more than a little. And then a similar tackle later in the game gets nothing.
We could not buy a repeat set in the 2nd half, apparently the Storm were perfect. At one point NAS pushed the guy back over and stood over him laughing and the ref did fuck all. Eat just all of the dick
As for the fucking try from the kick, there was an easy to see knock on in to the Warriors player and it got waved away. Every fucking game i see the ref blow time and review for far less doubt than that, but noooooAnd why do we have to play ANZAC day in Melbourne every fucking year? They fucking love to talk out the Storm's winning streak, but guess how many times the two teams have played at Mt Smart since 2015? Four. Four fucking times. Yes Covid, but even prior to that we still played in Melbourne more. Fuck you NRL.

Quality rant mate. All truth. Not only that, why do we the home team have to fly home and back up on the weekend, when the home team Storm get a bye to rest up? It's a fucking scam
-
Im pretty sure the Eels loved their schedule too so not the only team getting reamed.
however just for the bandwagon Warriors play Melbourne, Roosters and Penrith in an 11 day span.. I don't know how that gets approved

So much for cutting us some slack in appreciation of us playing two seasons entirely in Oz. How do you say fluffybunnies in Australia?

11 days. in three cities in two different countries.
Yes, the Eels have got reamed by the fixture. Without even factoring in their opposition coming off the bye, in their first 8 games they have played 6 teams who would be expecting to finish top 4.

They were so brave, they kept the comp going for 2 years away from home, but back to normal service as the after thought.

it's gone very very wrong in Townsville. I had them as serious contenders, and i wasn't alone.
Yes, they have been hit by injury, especially in teh forwards. But last night they rolled out their best backline, and half a starting pack, and got destroyed.
If you were to make a list of the Cowboys playing well it wouldn't be long. Val Holmes (though he won't look back fondly on a couple of defensive plays last night) and mostly Dearden.
On the other hand if you were making a list of players who are playing absolutely terribly it would be easy
Drinkwater, Feldt, Hiku, Townsend, Nanai, Cotter, Hess
That's half their spine, their entire right edge, and two players who were in Origin 12 months ago. Just awful.Last night was actually embarassing. No defensive effort at all. no line speed. Missed tackles all over the shop. No hard running when they had the ball. And they were deservedly pumped.
