A couple of points, just for the sake of being a naysayer...
1. Hoffman's charge down was epic, but he was also one of the defenders whose lame shoulder grabbing let Fafita in for his try. If just one of the tacklers had hit lower, I doubt the try would have been scored.
2. Tomkins would obviously boost our attack, but I dunno if he'd have made those brilliant tackles that Lolohea's done in the last two games. Definitely not the one from Saturday night.
*******************************
A rule that someone will need to clarify... Mannering had that dumb penalty when he instinctively fell on the loose ball from an offside position, but later on I noticed Sharks players joining a tackle from an offside position. Is there a law I don't know about?
*******************************
Can't remember which Warrior it was that gave a penalty away when his hand was trapped between the ball and the Shark's body, but hell that was smart play from the ball carrier. We should be trying that every opportunity we get - clamp your arm to your side as soon as you feel a hand. At the very least it'd be this mythical thing called 'ball security', at best a milked penalty.

Lastly, some bad news: I've done some quick calculations, and factoring in how much time gets taken off a Warriors fan's life expectancy after games like that, those of us who've been on board since 95 are due to snuff it before xmas. Get life insurance sorted, but ffs don't put down that you're a Warriors fan, or it'll be voided.
