    some of the game stats are hilarious

    The Storm completed 11 more sets (37) than we had sets in total (26)
    Run metres 2077 to 773
    11 line breaks to 2 (we made linebreaks?)
    203 tackles to our 392
    we missed 41 tackles!!!

    Another abject performance by the Warriors. Because the Raiders are similarly poor we only trail by 8 at the half. But our right side D has been like a revolving door, and we've only scored after profiting from Raiders errors . The rest of the time we have been penned in our half. Nathan Brown is just another aussie retread who can't get consistent tune out of our boys

    Warriors storm back only for the usual errors to let them down. 9 minutes to go but it seems like too little too late. Warriors trail 18-20

    Thought the call on SJ non try was harsh. The idiot defender stood with his hand up appealing to the ref, then decided to move across to make the tackle. He would have easily covered the space if he didn't do the hand up appeal.

    Also, lucky that Asi just turned up midweek.

    I've seen them given but that was a weak call. The affected Raiders player got bumped but then went back into the line by the time SJ arrived

    The bunker overrules. Obviously think we can't go the length of the field in 3 minutes

    This game is farcical. SJ's banana kick gets dropped by the Raiders player right in front of the sticks. Fresh set and attacking scrum Warriors with 2 minutes to play. What's the bet we fumble

    Lodge takes a high shot and Blocker reckons it was nothing. Not the worst I've seen but there looked to be contact. Walsh ties it up with 30 seconds to go. Golden point here we come

    Rugby has probably gone too far with high shots, the leaguies are the opposite, unless you put the guy in hospital it doesn't count as high.

    Edit: Now the commentators are doubling down saying there's no contact to the head over clips of contact to the head.

    Yesssssssssss.

    Great to get the win after a few stitch up calls too.

    It was a genuine cripple fight in that second half. Errors galore

    I think this sums it up, however after getting beaten by 70 and one guy playing with a busted nut for 45 minutes in that loss, winning ugly is a great effort. How many games historically we would have lost in this position? Probably most lol. Until a couple of weeks ago, we had not won a golden point for years ...so I will take this.

    In the mean time, the roosters again get the rub of the green against the struggling doggies, it may not help them in the end but some teams just get some bullshit calls in their favour

    waaaaah, the Warriors got a call in their favour and the NRL media's favourite bloke was on the other end

    so of course the guy in the bunker gets stood down.

    did the absolute cheating stain who smashed us against the Roosters get a suspension or a bag of money?

    also, the point about how awful most of the comp is was vividly illustrated on the weekend with the Warriors playing Canberra and the Tigers playing the Dragon. Two absolute cripple fight games.

    And then, just to show the level, what Melbourne did to Newcastle.

    Man how wrong was i on the Cowboys? Flying in 3rd, gave Parra a touch up and Chad Townsend looking like a premier level signing. Lots of young guys playing well. A few levels below the top 2, and i still can't say they are a top 4 side in a few months time, but Toddy Payten was pretty high on the "first coach sacked" ladder.

    @mariner4life I think most of the teams look like they could beat each other on any given day and this year that includes the Roosters who had looked untouchable in the past. Melbourne and Penrith are the only two that do not even look susceptible to failure even due to injuries where nearly every other squad falls to bits.

    I always have said Payten was better than what he was given credit for. I still dont think he gets his rotations right including why it took until week 8 to give Cotter extra minutes, but the Cowboys are now winning. Look at the young talent he is bringing through now too, the key will be not to lose all of it to other teams. I dont think they are top 4 though either but will only get better with the confidence that comes from winning consistently.

    Some teams are really struggling though and those games are awful to watch especially the cripple fights

    well this is interesting, havent seen anything confirmed, but hopefully one less distraction

    Fox sports, so as reliable as facebook. "The Dolphins were in hot pursuit of young gun Reece Walsh, who this week confirmed he would see out his contract with the New Zealand club and return to the club’s Auckland base in a blow for the NRL’s 17th team."
