Kudos to the Warriors, played a very entertaining brand of footy and I hope the fans enjoyed it after a trying 12 months.

Easily the worst performance the Broncos have put up since 2010 but I'm still proud to be a fan. Boys are going to have to turn this around quickly before it all goes pear shape. Just think the experiments didn't come off tonight. Either way, the boys were on a hiding to nothing but the changes definitely assisted the Warriors.

Lol at Tallis thinking we as in NSW will claim another Kiwi in Mateo.

He was born and bred in Sydney.

I know the Broncos have a lot of players to come back, but seriously I would take some delight in watching channel 9 being forced to weekly show the Broncos lose by heaps of points each week. It would teach them to be more balanced to their QLD viewers. I know a lot of Broncos fans hate the Friday night thing. If this middle section of the draw does turn to poop, at least you might get something out of it.


Well said.

Rabbitohs 2011 comes to mind. We also put 40+ on a pretty strong Rabbitohs side last year didn't we?

Yeah I think 2011 is probably the last one, I think you only beat Rabbits by 20 last year or something similar. Long time between drinks!

That was an excellent, slick, performance from the Warriors. Loved the hard work carting it up from Matulino and Lillyman, honestly thought their shift off the bench cemented the win. They were rolling the Donkey's pack like there was no tomorrow. Mateo and Locke's ball skill was excellent, Johnson showed some real class at times, Leuluai had easily his best NRL game... that was, as David Tu'a said on Wheel of Fortune, O for Awesome. Best Warriors performance in god knows how long.

I only watched the last 15 minutes of that, but it was enough for me. I feel sorry for any of the Broncos fans who paid to watch what their team served up tonight. Granted they have players out on Origin duty, but that's not an excuse for the best available team the Broncos have to put in such an underwhelming display against the Warriors. Every time they had the ball they looked like they were going to score again. This is a team who had 66 points scored against them by Penrith just a fortnight ago...

I've seen big bounce backs before. Penrith was a terrible night for us, but, in a way I thought some of those guys who were playing complacently needed a touch of reality. Which they got in spades. Their next two weeks I think the Warriors have played very good football. Its easy to say the Broncos played poorly, but my word the Warriors were outstanding.

We really had luck with us playing a severely weakened team just after we notched up a rare win and had a bit of confidence on our side. Everything seemed to be going our way, and we played very well while exploiting the inexperienced opposition. Felt pretty bad for the Baby Broncos, but they certainly didn't do themselves any favours.
Hopefully we can build from here. It could be the big (consecutive) win we really need to break this pathetic 2-season slump.

Satisfied with the win, but not jumping for joy because it was a badly depleted Broncos side who were hampered further by some ridiculous changes before the game.

Having said that, we're going in the right direction. Outside of a couple of shocking away games against Penrith and Parramatta the Warriors have been in a position to win most games and if not for a lack of belief probably would've won a couple of them in years gone by.

Nice to see them keep pushing for points until the end too. They knew they had the Broncos beaten and didn't let them off easy, which they could've done after letting in a couple of tries after the 60 min mark.

Who is Football Manager? Andrew Gee? what a brains trust, the final pieces of the puzzle are almost in place. Just missing Royce Simmons as defensive coach.

Merv Hughes as our high performance fitness coach and the master plan is complete.
