[jonno]

Not sure how I feel after this win.

 

[jsmooove]

proud. guys put in and had a real dig. that made me happy.

 

[Apus]

Huge win. Very proud of the boys. Fusitua MotM for sure, geez he looks good there. What the hell is the team vs the Panthers gonna look like?

 

[tajhay]

All the guys brought in played like they deserved to be in first grade. Happy with them, senior guys i thought did well. Robson played well being brought back in at late notice.

 

[fanrrior]

They played with intent and they kept them scoreless in the second half. They definitely deserve to keep their spots for next week.

Heck, Tevaga deserves to be in the top 17 for as long as he is healthy.

 

[Tyrael]

Pretty avg game but at least the boys showed some spine. 24/35 (or something like that) completion is not good enough.

Jono Wright tries hard, but you know that others would have scored the tries that he didn't.

Fusitua had a great game. Others probably needed to back him up more. MOM

Luke played better but still not 100 yet.

Robson had a good game! Didn't drop the ball and some nice grubbers.

Glad we won after that week of hell. So...what's the line up in two weeks!!!!

 

[Inruin]

To be honest I haven't been this nervous before a Warriors game since the 2011 GF. Just wanted the boys to play well and hopefully win otherwise dropping the naughty 6 would have looked like a token gesture and they would have been like 'see you need us, we have the power'

Effort and commitment and pride in the jersey. Its all we want and its what we got.

Good on you boys. Well deserved.

 

[The Truth]

I'm happy.
The bad boys now have had the bar set for effort by the guys who want those spots.
My biggest concern with Cappys (Doyle's) decision this week was that we would get flogged and the players with bad attitudes would slot straight back in and continue the same immature bullshit while keeping their positions.
They no longer have the security of knowing the coach doesn't have any other options.

 

[InsideBall]

Like I said in the other thread, you made us proud boys.

Huge respect to Palavi, Tevaga, Robson for coming in and making a real difference.

Fusitua - you've surprised me in one game more than I thought any player could. MoM. Goal line defence, scything runs, passes for try assists... exceptional game young man.

Just stoked to win.

 

[ryno]

The replacements!

Farkin awesome you guys!!

 

[tractadrvr]

I can't see how Manu could, or should, get his place back over Allwood. He was a stand out for me, good strong runs, and could actually turn and defend

 

[BiggerD]

Well the "Bits and Pieces" Warriors team have beaten the Dragons hoodoo
Dragons usually win 82% of games against the Warriors.

Great Game by all involved
And do you bring the "Bad Boys" back in 2 weeks
as the new players had attitude & energy.

Feel abit sorry for MNT WELLINGTON who said he put $100 on the Dragons
after news came out about the partying Warriors.

 

[Marshthedarsh]

I was at that game in 2007, Fuck me that was a long time ago...

Dragons have the worst attack in the comp, so I'm not too sure how to feel about conceding 10 points.

Good to get the win on the board and put last week behind us.

 

[James W]

'We drew a line in the sand'

Simple. Elegant.

Was it perfect? Absolutely not. Could you see the difference in attitude? Absolutely yes.

Let's hope they can all hold on to it for all future games.

 

[Tezza91]

Wins a win.

Not getting ahead of myself, dragons are average.
Long way away from the top teams.

New guys were just a bit more hungry I think. Gubb played his best game all year. What's the bet Fusitua has a lemon next game?

 

[MXRecord]

Vatuvei, Matulino and Hurrell, don't come back! We don't want you!
Considering the circumstances, what a game!

 

[DavidMcKay1974]

Well we know now Johnson is definatly behind the coach. Those of you who think he isn't, can shut up now.

 

[brightman]

Funny how everyone is in love with David Fusitua these days, last season he was everyones bitch even though he owned the Storm.

Happy with the win, good effort.

 

[Alexradisich]

Solid effort from the team today!!

I think the partnering of Shaun Johnson and Lolohea needs to be in place for the rest of the season

Leave Fusitua at fullback
