Wonderful performance by the team. All aspects of their game.

I haven't felt this way since 2011...... just feels so good.... I have a tear in my eye.

Its emotional.

 

[Sebastian]

Tough game. Ground them down. Polished performance overall. Is Fusitua class or what? I know i've said it but he is really up there as a very good winger. The had more possession 57-43. But we really defended well again. 20-8 a nice well earned win.

I'm just gonna say it ... if we can fine tune this style of razzle dazzle footy & keep up that attitude in defense there are not many teams in the comp who can hang with us

On to the next test against Wikeys Waiders ... bring it bitches

week 2 and we still dont look out on our feet at the end of the game!

Loving it, could’ve easily been 30 or 40 points to us. Feels good to see the boys chancing their arm again, even though it didn’t stick. Compared to last years dull style of footy.

Huge wraps to their defence as well. Now off to Canberra, feeling a tingling in my balls again!!!

Early days (and the round is only halfway through) but how good is this!!!!!

 

[brightman]

TWO from TWO!! Bring on the Raiders, HELL YEAH!

 

[BiggerD]

The Warriors have won 2.
The scary thing is.... They will get even better
Usually, the Warriors are the team that comes right at Origin time
Not this time.
The Team Spirit is there as well..

Gotta go to TAB & put a lazy $20 on Warriors to win GF

It looks like the drags will go 3 from 3. They have the Titans next.

Bloody awesome! Defence won the day today. Solid defensive effort by the entire team. While I'm a bit salty that my 13+ went down the gurgler with that late minute try, it's extremely satisfying going back to back and watching the boys play with some heart. That win definitely puts us in good stead going into next weekends game against the Raiders which will be a tough, tough match. Rest up boys and enjoy the win!

Yeah I was waiting for it considering they had travelled back from Perth but didn't happen so very impressed

 

[Danpatmac]

What impressed me was the D.

We look fit enough to give away penalties and push the pass as we have the stamina to make our tackles and reads.

However,
I think we tried to run before we could walk today. We didn't get the forward momentum, direct running before throwing those offloads. I would like to see us be more selective, find a middle ground. We have gone from no offloads to offload mania.

D is great.
O still has work to do.

Gutted for Papalii if it is an ACL.

 

[Miket12]

Loved the way how disappointed they were that they conceded that late try.

Can’t remember anytime their heads dropped except then.

 

[Aman]

What happened with Ryan James?

 

[Stalefish540]

Tofu the Bush Warrior Harris, what an absolute gun.

 

[leaguejunkie]

What happened with Ryan James?

He got some sand in his vagina.

 

[kbazi]

Peta Hiku is a liability in defence with those arm grabs and better teams will exploit that.

Apart from that, yewwww
