2018 R5 Sat - Warriors 22-12 Cowboys @ Mt Smart (DH)

I'll give it to the Warriors fans....they sure like a frikkin winner

I am going to assume you meant to say winger because collectively I think we all like a winning team

 

[Meth]

My feeling was that the Warriors were beatable in the last quarter of the game, but the Cows weren't good enough to do it.

I felt like they lost their way in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Meth]

Man this play the ball is a joke you how many times did I see players not bothering to even play the ball properly and yet it was allowed to continue , Chechen said as long as you make an attempt to play the ball wtf you either play the ball correctly or you dont

Thurston's play the ball in the first half was worse than that.

I reckon it's one of those things. Not policed all that well, but when you get pinged, you can't complain (assuming your play was dodgy)

Agreed. But they closed it out well in the final quarter.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

I hope the Warriors/Dragons both win next week.

Imagine the build up and atmosphere at Mt Smart if both teams are 6-0.

Could be another sellout, especially if they dominate the Donkeys next week

He says whinging

Good on him, but "cows love a f**king whinging" sounds uneducated.

The Warriors goal line defence is magnificent currently. What a terrific win.

Yeah, but they kept on putting in... so unlike previous years.

Does their coach from easter island get credit or do they have a better support staff this year... fitness is great, mental strength seems very focussed, they're remembering to breathe regularly.

The 2 Warriors Wingers, Fusitua and Maumalo are awesome. I remember Maumalo being good for a knock on or 3. Now he can hold the ball, he is an absolute weapon.

He had hands like flippers a year ago. Done a lot of work, still have doubts about him in the air but they seem to protect him well anyway.

Fusitua on the other hand... all class and an absolute weapon in the air.

Definitely got better support staff, but Kearney also needed the players that suit the way he likes to play the game and to the clubs credit they got him those players and he's shown that he may not be as inept as some like to make out once he has the team built the way he likes.

Speaking of....is his career record above 30% yet? Must be getting close.

 

[Grapple]

I've posted this before. But good on ya, Billy.



God how good is Rd 7 going to be regardless of next week, even better if both teams stay unbeaten though.

 

[GongPanther]

Great to see Mt Smart full

LOL! And here is me thinking all afternoon they were playing out at Campbelltown. Had the sound turned down on the telly to watch the Commie Games on computer.

Kenny is a real weapon. Fus is an athlete of the highest order.

Several times today I thought Kens runs changed the momentum and got us on a big roll on.

 

[This Year?]

The Warriors fans finally have a team to be very proud of and it's great for the game.
