The Warriors have returned...
Giving away dumb penalties, opposition making easy metres in the middle of the park, poor 5th tackle kicks and execution, soft tries let in. Nostalgia always gets me

I haven't watched any full games but have all teams been cynical in deliberately slowing the play-the-ball down on the first tackle to allow their defensive line to set? From what I have read that was a tactic Penrith used against the Warriors, although this wasn't used as a reason for the loss by Kearney and co.
Conceding a penalty and 6-again after the first tackle isn't much of a disadvantage if the ref won't reach for his yellow card.

Newcastle are legit. They were bloody good yesterday, and Kalyn Ponga is a fucking star. The new kid, Bradman Best is going to be a gun for a long time as well. They've got tough forwards, Pearce is leading them around without overplaying anything, their wings are both dangerous, and Ponga has all the ability in the world. Look destined for the Top 4.
The Gold Coast won a game for the first time in a year! Yes it was only over the Tigers, who were never going to win two on the bounce, but still, a win!
At this stage, Parra, Roosters, Newcastle and Manly are looking good. Canberra and the Storm should probably play finals. Pretty much everyone else is making up the numbers. GC, Warriors, Bulldogs all nailed on for the bottom 4, probably to be joined by the Broncos unless some big moves are made.
Also, fuck Manly, hahahaha
Wayne Bennett is a coach 15 years past his best. He's going to leave Souths a disaster zone. -

That's one hell of a name to live up to.

Maybe it was just an opinion from his dad.

What's weird about this is that they're still being conservative when kicking on the last so as to avoid 7 tackle sets.

Souths - the Collingwood of NRL.
It's much harder to be a supercoach when you don't have the luxury of a near SoO team every week.
