Tbh - Qld should have, but failed to have picked Horse and given their lack of middles could have even brought out of origin retirement an aging Papalli, would have also done me a favour by weakening the raiders at the same time.
Papalli probably wouldnt play more than 30 mins but impact in middle would have been good. Horsburgh has probably been the form fit Qld prop this year anyway outside of Pat.

Hammer should have been fullback, Ponga as much of an attacking weapon as he is for Newcastle right now. Mentally not there.

Slater needs to use his bench better too. What was the point of Fermor? He did this with Kaufusi too. Arrow would add more and you could get 35+ good minutes out of him. Dearden to 7? He's not a great kicker of the ball, but one thing he does do is keep busy. A selection that they should I think consider but they won't, and maybe fair enough, is Jye Grey as the 14 I feel. Someone who can bring a bit of speed around the tired middles and play as a proper utility, something that Dearden isn't.

Warriors up 14-12 at the break.
3 tries to 2.

I’ve said it all season, but Metcalf’s suspect goal kicking will cost us a game sooner or later. Can forgive misses from out wide, but not misses from only 5-10m wide of the posts.

Mitch Barnett off with what might be a serious knee injury. Fuck.

Metcalf is like Carlos Spencer (kicking wise) in that he'll get some hard ones but miss the easy ones.

Souths were fucking dumb to kick short 2m from half time.

Halasima doing the business again.

[canefan]

Was that not an illegal strip?

[Gunner]

Metcalf goes the length, yes boy.

And how good was that Halasima try, offloads, glorious off the cuff play reminiscent of Warriors teams of old.

[Grooter]

Stoked my Luke, Leka, & DWZ Multi comes in 🤌 up the Wahs

He made the Souths D look stoopid

[canefan]

Souths coming apart. If we can score now we can almost put them on ice

[Gunner]

Roger scores after a nice build up.

But this is the Warriors, I still expect a Souths comeback.

[canefan]

Go Roger!

[Gunner]

And Metcalf slots one from the sideline.

30-12

That's a dagger in the heart

[Gunner]

We are scoring, but also worryingly starting to make errors coming out of our own end…

Come on fullas

[canefan]

Poor carry by DWZ. Come on, you only had one job.... And DWZ doubles down by getting skinned on the edge, Souths get a try

[Gunner]

Fucking DWZ absolutely blitzed by Johnstone on the end of a great Mitchell pass.

[Grooter]

Damn fair play Johnston congrats

You called it

[Gunner]

Fucking dumb dumbs, Souths get one of the softest tries you’ll see.

All of a sudden a nice lead is turned upside down and the game is tight.

Latrell Fucking Mitchell keeps slotting goals from everywhere on the park too.

30-24.
