    CNK would have gotten a red card for that in NH rugby.

    So should CHT

    You should put him down more often. 🙂

    You have to laugh, as soon as you bag both, they both stand up

    Big win in a grind, a lot of positives with our first win over those fluffybunnies since 2018

    Gritty win from the Warriors.

    Without sounding like a boring reporter, was a real arm wrestle, and a game that neeed to be won if we have thoughts of featuring in September

    Another win built on guts and the crowd and an opposition handing us opportunity.

    If the Roosters were a competent team we would have got flogged.

    CHT having an inspired 5 seconds does not erase the other 79.55 of utter shit.
    CNK ran for 300m. With out threatening a decent linebreak or try scoring opportunity. Ambling after a chad fucking Townsend 40/20 was unforgivable.
    Metcalf has a shit kicking game.
    Our attack really does stink.

    However
    Leiataua is my new favourite warrior, and there is something there to work with.
    Our middles are good.
    Our best half comes off the bench as a forward.
    Dick fingers Ford is having a good season.

    We're 2-1!

    I think the season will play out that we'll beat the average teams at home, lose nearly everything in Australia, and lose to any good team who actually shows up to Mt Smart, and finish like 12th.

    Agree with all this. Even the Ford part.

    Yeah Leiataua is great, I've been waiting for him to get a decent run, watch him get replaced by Marty Berry's kid soon.

    It's the Warriors, I'm always setting myself up for disappointment. Berry has been a favourite of Webby, and he seems to like Pompey as well.

    I don't think Pompey is nearly as bad as made out, TBH he's like our own Aussie journeyman that the Warriors love to bring over and give lots of games too.

    I am prepared to continue to be presently surprised though and hope this is Leiataua's break out season.

    I thought he was just Jazz with a different name, but he appears to be an upgrade at the moment.

    Quality Kiwi sporting pedigree. High energy guy, strong runner and has an eye for a pass.

    Niukore is a bull when he's not making dumb errors

    Our effort and hustle has been amazing in the first two games. Need to exploit more opportunities, and we need to keep the team injury free to keep building momentum

    Still some really good talent carving it up against the Roosters at NSW Cup level, standouts in particular are Boyd and TMM.

    Agree, the amount of times CNK inserts himself into the line and everything breaks down is incredible. He was majorly responsible for us having a 24 to 6 tackle in red zone count in first half but no conversion. He only looks good on sweep plays which we don’t do enough of. Metcalfs kicking game isn’t the worst but the drop offs to below average 2RFs consistently shits me to tears. CHT needs to be dropped, I suspect TMM or Boyd offer more but have no idea why they don’t get a chance.
    We get our best shape when Walker comes on, even he would be a better partner to Metcalf than CHT.
    Middles doing well, I suspect that’s also the reason Ford doing well, he isn’t line running on an edge trying to catch late balls.

    Still winning in a grind is good especially against the Roosters, will take it.

    If we could be so lucky that this is the second coming of an Ali L?

    Don’t want to curse the bloke, but looks good with the limited shitty ball we’re feeding him

    Ali looks a beast on attack and defence. He has to be given an decent run in the side. Charnz may not have serious gas, but he carries the ball like another backrower, his run metres per carry really helped out the forwards. Interesting to see how long RTS is out with his hammy, perhaps this is an opportunity for one of the NSW Cup kids to step up and grab their opportunity.

    Oh and our 17 is a really strong young player. We are making far fewer errors right now

    Looks like my prediction that the Tigers will be massive improves this year over the last few months is looking very good so far. They really do have something special brewing I feel, and a top spine.

    My prediction that Kristian Woolf not
    suffering from the Wayne Bennett curse isn't looking great however.

    It is also only round 3.
