that was a super Sunday. three excellent games.
Ours was a high scoring shoot out.
The Panthers and the Eels played a finals-like grind where it was close nearly all day.
The last game had some outrageous skill, with the Raiders beating the Roosters in Sydney. -
entertaining games, warriors continue to give supporters heart palpitations but find a way to win importantly
Others were impressive, thought Raiders were unlucky but still won, showing some resilience there, definitely a team to beat

This is a massive loss. But it's a huge opportunity for Fisher Harris and his young guns to step up
-
Barnett is a massive loss. Not sure we have anyone in the squad that can replace what he does on a consistent basis and not lose anything else.
-
yeah, the ability and form of our three starting middles is what has covered for our anemic attack. Losing one is disastrous.
I am sure Laurie Daley is not happy either TBH.

that was honestly one of the best passes i have ever seen. he just throws it to space, and hits AJ in stride. An absolute peach, delivered right on the spot, thrown on the run. Sexy.

I watched that. So it appears it's not always Dallin's fault, more slow reactions from his insides. He still seems to get caught far too often, so they need to step up. And it was an amazing pass and try scoring run

There's literally no reason why the third man should be so easily drawn by Latrell. That's the job of the bloke inside him.
-
It is a good example, but also plenty of examples of when he goes early because potentially he thinks he has been burnt by his insides previously and leaves his line .. Most wingers dont defend this way and his lack of communication was why he wasnt a good fullback. Do agree though when Latrell is in that kind of mood he is dangerous

@bayimports I think we have a problem on the inside. Firstly, we havenāt had decent defending halves for a while. Then itās been a bit hit and miss in the centres. Dallin has that tendency I agree, but I donāt think itās too different to how Vatuvei used to defend.

I found it interesting that we didn't have many examples of this happening while he was out injured and arguably you would think Taine and Kosi would be worse. But we weren't. Kosi still had problems turning but we didn't often get beaten on the outside. Instead we might still have a defensive gap in the centres but it is harder to get through there, than an open wing. I think it is a big reason why we have conceded a lot more since his return.

Oof that is not good.
I'm in Sydney, but the chances of me trooping out to Construction Site "stadium" are absolute zero.

The chances of getting tickets (unless you're by yourself) are zero too. I jumped on to get three tickets a few weeks ago and they only had single tickets left.
I'm trying to go to every clubs ground in Sydney. Just have Shark Park and Kograh left.
Also, how the fuck do the organisers of these comps put the Chiefs up against the Warriors do often? I've barely watch a Warriors broadcast live this year due to the clashes - luckily my last two remaining bogan rugby fan mates always check before spoiling results.
Also, I hope Lieatua was cut for injury and they didn't decide a 2nd rower was a better option? I would say this is the week it starts falling down but I've been wrong the entirety of this year so I think we're going to smash them.
