We could slip in with 7 wins from 8 and a good points differential, so would probably need to win a game or two by a big margin.Just done the ladder predictor. We can still make the 8 if we win every single remaining game
Never again. I remember the disappointment and denial right till the Titans game last year
.
Like last season we have the Titans again at the end so maybe we target that game to win by 70.
Thus video is compulsory watching for all Warriors fans
Shaun Johnson did a great job on maumalo- he was getting up quickly and making first contact the majority of the time- really nullified him.
Will always have a soft spot for ken after the way he left the club and I’m sure he would’ve loved to be wearing our colors yesterday but Dallin Watene-Zelezniak made him look like a bit of a plodder.
Not sure I’d class 18 runs for 184m (95m post contact) as a bit of a plodder. No kick return metres recorded in those stats either. Ken had a good game.
Compared to Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 16 runs for 157m (70m post contact) with 39m being from kick returns.
Yeah kinda surprised by those stats but not really.
Ken always works hard but the eye test would say he wasnt able to generate any momentum- if u dig a bit deeper- 1 tackle break and an ave ptb speed of 4.2 secs... by contrast Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 3 tackle breaks, ave ptb speed 3.2 sec ( a whole second faster) and a try assist to boot- he got the lollies this time around.
I was a bit worried about Dallin Watene-Zelezniak after seeing how emotional he was in the sheds- thought there might be some errors coming but they never did and thats the difference between a bad game and a good game for him.
waited till now to comment.
To much hype after that game to make a sensible statement
That was a C performance by the warriors and a D performance by the Tigers
Loved the energy,
Loved seeing Shaun Johnson brighten up as he ran onto the field. The joy in his face as the fans went nuts was brilliant to see.
The Team tried too hard to create instant success for the first 1/4 of the game.
Addin Fonua-Blake made an immediate impact on his entry on to the pitch and the team settled. But more importantly it suddenly looked like they had more options on both sides.
Want to underscore it was easy to see how much effort went into defence by the warriors, However it was really the Tigger's that blew their chances that kept it scoreless.
Don't forget they were playing a team in freefall, at home. They had all the advantages. First half result was acceptable.
Current score was a C
Second Half they let the Tigers dominate for at least half of the half and were lucky the Tigers on attack were worse than the warriors.
Last quarter the Tigers ran out of puff allowing the warriors to win
Love the win but still a C performance.
But things to take away from that game.
Pride in the Jumper. Visible
Effort from the whole team. Visible
Respect from the fans. Earned
questions about the effectiveness of the coaching staff.
If they can repeat that performance again, calm a little at the start of the game and not let the moment get to them. They will very quickly move to a B performance.
hope everyone who went to the game had a great night out.

Does anyone know if there was much fan fare for Bunty Afoa on Sunday? I saw he got a mention over the PA at the ground but wasn't up front with the captain when they ran out.
No mention by Stacy in the presser either. Just my observation but it's the little things that can go a long way.

yes, he had the tigers back the same distance as best as I could tell.
Actually think he didnt get it at the time, but once the Ref called it as a try the bunker had no evidence to overturn it. The bunker is assuming their role is to find errors and overturn calls and in so doing somehow ignore the rules of the game. It also allows them to introduce bias by when they look and how hard.
Yes. At the ground the announcer made a huge deal of it whenever he could. He was calling him "Mr 100". There were a few sections of the crowd with massive banners congratulating Bunty for 100 games as well.
the harder you work, the luckier you are.
that penalty was for the late hit right at the start of the play, i think, he was playing advantage. But im really not impressed with the current interpretation of the advantage rule atm. even if if did fall in our favour. 10m or a pass will do me everytime.
not sure they have turned a corner, but at least they seem ready to acknowledge that there is one coming up and they better start shifting if they want to make it.
IMO Ken showed why the warriors let him go. Great with ball in hand running forward. Some good tackles. But no footwork, no ability to turn and chase. Hes defn not one who got away, but one who needed to move on. Pity its to a place where they seem happy with what he has to offer, rather than pushing him on to greatness.
Oh hey that wasnt to bad, got through the 8 pages pretty quick. If you ignore all the posts about pitch invaders and shoe'es it would have gone even faster.
BTW both imo are a blight on the game. Just like that idiot who paints his face and wants to be in every shot every week. IMO, its not about them as individuals. so dont make them into celebrities. Its about the team and the fans overall, would rather see more shots like the one of the kid holding the flag, sticking his tongue out and trying to look buff. Or show them once then move on to someone else. And clear out the row below the warriors coaching box so the coach doesnt have to look at dickheads heads all game.

I would have liked to have seen ken moved into the middle.
I could easily imagine Ken being a top player were he reared in a top system.
When the Warriors started getting him good ball he scored plenty of trys.
His development was largely marred by ball starvation outside Kata and on a generally right edge focused one eyed team, and by being used as Prop.
He is a better player than what we saw, he has been improving under different coaching, but it has come far too late.
He would have been a fantastic forward if that was his only focus.
He has heart, power and speed to make a top forward, you would only need to teach him tackling with his shoulder and he would be a weapon.
