2018 R7 Fri - Warriors 20-12 Dragons @ Mt Smart

[I Bleed Maroon]

De Belin would be getting a lashing for sulking at that dropped ball instead of jumping on it if they had any other coach

 

[RWB]

Well done Warriors, that's a good win without Shaun Johnson, Tohu Harris and a couple of others.

Seriously impressive defensive performance.

Like a punch in the guts tbh

Well done Warriors, that's a good win without Shaun Johnson, Tohu Harris and a couple of others.

Seriously impressive defensive performance.

That's where the Warriors won it. They played a much more uptempo game and you could see us on the back foot with every run.

 

[Generalzod]

Yep even with all those penalties St George could not get the win you can’t go through the year undefeated

 

[SBD82]

We just got Isaac Luked.

Gee that's a good team you've got there warriors. Hopefully we go again at the other end of the season somewhere.

Super effort Warriors. Played up tempo & rattled us.
With our early possession advantage we couldn’t convert & that’s where the game was lost.
I listed Luke as one of the most improved this year. He didn’t disappoint.
Quality game.

Was a very tough game. Dragons are hard to crack through the middle. Needed our outside backs to do a lot of work out of dummy half to get you guys doing backwards.

Felt a little like last weeks game against the Broncos except this time we were the ones with a little more intensity while you guys were a bit off, especially with precision on attack.

You guys had a set in between that video ref call and Luke's try, they didn't score off the possession following the call.

Stop blaming the refs, it was an excellent 40/20 and a poor tackle from Dufty.

Who's blaming the refs. I corrected you. Luke kicked the 40/20 in the set after the no try to Lafai.
They scored next set.
If Lafai's try was given the Warriors wouldn't have had the ball to score.
So you saying 16-12 made no sense at all.

We've had plenty between 2011 and now. I can't begrudge a loss against a side that played better than us on the day and it wasn't controversial. You win some, you lose some. That's footy,.

Poor bait.

Still, sack Mary?

Warriors passed their first acid test of the year in comfortably beating a full strength Dragons side. NEXT!!

 

[Iafeta]

Amazing.

No Shaun.
No Kata.
Our other centres are injured too (Ayshford, Beale)
Harris off early
No ball
No hope from the refs

No worries.

One of the most gutsiest wins in Warriors history. I believe. This team is the real deal.

Magic performance from Isaac. Roger was brilliant. Gelling owned Aitken all night. Awesome.

 

[thommo4pm]

Congratulations to the Warriors, you guys were the better side and deserved to win.
Dufty, DeBellin and Nighty were poor for us.

Comfortably??

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Warriors are nothing until they prove themselves against the Eels

 

[JohnDoe]

How many play the balls did the dragons play off the mark? Nightingale did it pretty much every time he got to tackled.

Iafeta beat me to it. Enjoy the win Warriors fans, you have a very good team to get behind this season.

True, but I really wanted this win
