    It could be a wet night too. But if the Warriors can't beat the Tigers...

    this has banana skin written all over it

    Yep, wet night, the Tigers have sold out their home game 😉 , this is the one the usual Warriors would definitely lose. This lot seem to be made of sterner stuff though. I hope.

    For all the hype given their form this year, this is exactly the type of game that the warriors in past years (or even this season) still lose.

    The irony we started winning games by playing up the middle with few risks, we then go on a run of wins and the teams gets successful going more expansive. The coach asks them to play more direct and yet they go away from the game plan.

    I still think we have a dumb game in us, I just hope they have learnt their lessons. Tigers with a 14.5 point head start in the wet looks a great bet at 1.90, or Tigers 12 and under for $6 for the masochists

    @bayimports the loss at home in the wet was a very poor loss. We played with very little intensity and made dumb decisions.

    Hope that was it!

        Yeah, I think it was fairly close, maybe I was thinking about the later Rabbitohs match?

          well if you meant go wrong..because we lost to a team of kids because all their stars were on SOO leave or injured..then yes it went wrong, but we still found a way to almost win

          Or did you mean it went wrong before it started because they played it at Napier? We all know nothing good happens in the Hawkes.

                Penrith play. Penrith win. But, their attack is clunky as fuck at the moment. They won by 12 last night. One try should never have been awarded. Another was a gift from an early kick gone wrong. They are struggling a bit to create tries.

                But when you dominate field position, and only give up a couple of tries a game, you don't need to create many to win. If, and it's a massive it, another team can put them under scoreboard pressure it will be interesting to see how they go.

                Manly came with a different plan last night. The early shifts to get around the middle we have all talked about. But they also repeatedly kicked early to try and get field position. It worked a bit, but never looked like a tactic that was going to generate points. And then Garrick and the defense had that moment and it was all over.

                        Apart from second half handling errors, kicking early too many times cost Manly, Schuster had one, Garrick two (including that one from Garrick who I swear thought he was playing union for a second tries to drive play back into opponents 22) . Even Saab didn't appear to know what was going on and gave up on the chase. They ended up with close to a 50% completion rate in the second half as well and let Penrith back in.

                        Now their season is gooone

                        I do maintain we have one of the few forward packs that can go at Penrith.

                        If Penrith secure a top two spot, then Cows might be lucky enough to find they play a B team in round 27

                            @mariner4life nah, you should beat the sharks at home after the bye, you then have Dolphins. I have you making the eight even if you lose to the Panthers. Your draw is better than some others who are on life support

                                Great start Warriors, very tidy, except after both tries Mitch Barnett has dropped the ball on tackle 1 from the kick off.

                                They pay for it with 6 points the 2nd time.

                                Sort your shit out bro, can forgive it once, but twice in a row is not good enough.

                                  Barnett needs to get some sticky spray on his hands.

                                  Now a breakaway try to the Tigers.

                                  Poor alignment by the Warriors to have our two front rowers next to each other and the Tigers 5/8 exploits it.

                                    Fuck sakes, now Barnett has bought the dummy pass, Tigers 2 tries in 2 minutes.

                                      Tuaupiki caught in no man’s land a bit there too. Either really commit to the ball carrier or just sag off

                                          Almost. At least our halfback has a kicking game and it’s keeping us competitive. That’s certainly not the Warriors of old!
