oh dear............

[Mattasaurus]

whewwwwwwww that was bloody lucky

[Stag]

They are finding a way, but Ford is a ball of energy with the brain of a flea isn’t he?

[Nepia]

Cotric drop may have saved the Warriors season, and yes I am that pessimistic that I think a loss here and they'd be goneburgers.

@bayimports said in NRL 2024:

DWZ was a journeyman fullback,

I always thought he was a wing who filled in at fullback? At any rate he had a couple of good tests at fullback.

[Gunner]

God how had that been overturned.

Bloody NRL

[Stag]

The warriors defence is still very good. There attack, mistakes, and discipline have slipped back to 2021 and 2022 levels so far this season. The defence has won them this game.

[mariner4life]

2 points!!

How fucking good?!

We tried to lose but we didn't. Whoop!

[bayimports]

@Nepia I’m looking for positives and DWZ is one, love his effort, has had a couple of good games at fullback for sure, referring to overall career in NRL especially at the doggies

[mariner4life]

Bunnies can still win the comp as they avoid a 50 piece from the roosters

[bayimports]

Agree, good roster JD in the running though for first coach sacked if he doesn’t turn things around

[African Monkey]

Demetriou has lost the dressing room, that's clear to see. Not much out there to replace him though.

[mariner4life]

I doubt it's overly difficult to lose walker and latrell.

Almost gave the game away. I ran into him in Canberra a few years ago, his missus family lived there and it’s chalk and cheese how he now plays and also the confidence.

@mariner4life Well Demetriou has managed to do,and a lot of others have gone backwards under him too. They also lack an enforcer which leaves their middle somewhat weak, and their gameplan of loading up heavy on their left edge has been figured out by other sides.

Think it could be a long season for them, with internal problems and other sides overtaking them.

Think he lost the room over the Burgess incident, they were top of the table last year before that happened (even until about R11), then it went backwards. Hasn't recovered and looked really bad last night.

If the Tigers taught us anything last night, it was that every team this year on its day is capable of winning. This comp is going to be more even in many cases this year than previously. Great effort and win. Sharks played like they thought they could just turn up, but take nothing away from that Tigers effort, it was superb. The challenge for Benji is to get them to maintain that which other teams are also struggling with.

[mariner4life]

Fuck manly are good

[African Monkey]

@mariner4life Yup despite the Parra comeback and we're still in March, they are the real deal.

[bayimports]

Bunker cooked one, but Parra too good. Great game could have gone either way

[mariner4life]

Awesome game it was so much fun to watch

Game changed when the Eels bought on Paulo, and at the same time stopped making errors and giving away penalties. At one point they had 10 of 11 sets

Manly were too gassed by the end, but still could have won.

Fun way to spend a Sunday arvo
