2018 R1 Sat - Rabbitohs 20-32 Warriors @ Optus

[Penrose Warrior]

The game at Penrith last year? Or shouldn't I mention that?

Haha, funnily enough I didn't think we played that that well in that first half...intercepts, individual moments, awful Penrith errors leading to tries, we were lucky.

Whereas today, as very poor as the Bunnies have been in their completions and defense, we were very good.

Holy shit, we actually looked well coached.

Blake Green, what a massive difference he made. Gave us all sorts of direction and freed up Johnson to be who he's capable of being. Still some shitty edge defence and other things to work on...

BUT WE WON A GAME

Nice try from Walker.

Hopefully South's can take something from this. They had good patches, and really just dropped their bundle for 20 minutes. Need to maintain intensity.

As a positive for the NRL, none of Knights, Tigers or Warriors looking like easy beats. Go Titans! Then we have most our wooden spoon "favourites" winning.

I was agreeing with you until you said “Go Titans”.

Now, I think you can go f**k yourself.

Johnston looks like he's carrying around a huge tumor on his stomach

He’s no Milford that’s for sure

Takes about 4-6 weeks to sort out the chaff from the wheat. Although teams that take a couple of losses in the 1st month shouldn't be too concerned.

Room for improvement,but good to get a first up win.

Oh plenty, most opponents won't hand us that many derps.

But baby steps: finally win in Perth, go the 80, play with half a brain, and it's not origin time
That's a premiership ring compared to last year.

Well done warriors they are a top 8 team with mannering in there

Agree, but at the same time if Johnston is the answer at fullback then Souths should be afraid of the question.

They should if they have a coach named Anthony Griffin.

Yeah no Mannering was quickly forgotten but he's still a big loss. Thought Harris, Sao, Papali'i all played really well.

 

[Haffa]

Brisbane, Manly, Souths and the Chooks beaten on the one weekend. What a time to be alive.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

Melbourne to go down next

For me,Souths are lacking quality out wide and seem disjointed defensively at times. But still,early times.

So...how did the biggest myth in the game go for Souths?

 

[Meapro Ham]

Lol@

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Warriors the better team I thought but that decision against Souths right on the cusp of half time really changed the complexion of the game

If you derp it up that hard after one shit decision (especially when you’ve been getting the rub of the green with penalties up til that point) you deserve to lose by more than 12.

Definitely. But still nice to see some good early form from teams that have been written off.

You've convinced me.

With Hodgson out we should be feeling most sorry for the raiders, they are the team most likely to get the spoon.

Go Raiders!

Yep and either Storm or Bullgrubs will be there too. Win win!

 

[TheFrog]

The Rabbitohs had every chance to get back into this game in the final quarter, but kept dogging it. Hence the Warriors deserved to win, as they took their chances. Congrats to them.
