I.Katoa wasn’t a player I raved about when he started but now even in an average team he looks great. Holding his own against Hughes so far just looking at game play
Yup strong defensive display from the Dogs. They'll go deep in this year's comp. They just choked the Bunnies into submission.
Didn't see that Dolphins performance coming especially at 16-2 down. Kerr played well off the bench, as did Kodi Nikorima, and of course, as mentioned, Isaiya Katoa.
Both teams had a couple of injuries out of that. Looks like Plath and Kaufusi will be out for a bit, as will Jack Howarth for Melbourne. His injury especially played into the hands of the Dolphins as it seemed to open up the field out wide for Farnworth and Hammer to exploit with Joe Chan out there, not to mention Harry Grant being out for an extended period.
-
Plath and Grant out already makes Origin Qld hooker an interesting selection now
-
Reed Mahoney will get a chance in QLD origin this year now. Can already see him and Luai getting into some sort of fight/melee.
-
Ben Hunt?

hell of a lot more likely to be honest, but if Dogs keep winning a shot i guess
-
So on the previous rumours of warriors signings, so far quite accurate
Jye Linnane (Newcastle 5/8) already signed and it appears overnight warriors close to signing Morgan Gannon (Leeds edge back row)
-
Reed Mahoney is just today's version of Michael Ennis. All huff and puff at club level, but will likely stuff things up and go missing like Ennis always would at Origin level.
-
Hunt at 9, Mahoney 14.
-
If Hunt is 9, they wont carry a hooker on the bench, will be a utility of some variation

Jye Gray as a bolter? Or is that a reason to fit in Ponga and Walsh?

Cam George was clearly talking shit with his claims of wanting a mostly home grown team. We have young home grown backrowers coming through and we're looking to sign a young Pom in that position. And another Aussie half. Yay, love supporting the Warriors.
-
Warriors attack about as threatening as a wet paper bag.
Any other team with this many attacking sets inside the 20 would have scored by now.
We offer nothing, defence is easily gobbling up our one out runners and waiting for our deep as fuck sweeping out the back plays.
Dire.

It’s a real shit fight out there.
Both sides have had plenty of attacking opportunities, Broncos look to be creating a lot more chances and are much more threatening than the Warriors.
Without sounding like a cliche, it’ll come down to whoever makes the least mistakes in the second half.

That’s the strangest try I think I’ve ever seen.
I won’t even try to explain it - look it up, but very Warriors!
10-6
It was a keystone cops try.
That's the Warriors alright!
They're pulling away now, the 2nd rower at centre breaking away to set up a try.
