3- Egan- not perfect, but he makes all the difference. Point of difference in attack and impeccable in defence
2- Johnson- great running, passing and kicking. can't ask for much more.
1- RTS- a couple of blemishes, but a lot of class. Really deserves a point. Was a beast at points and came up with big plays at the end

HM-
Ford- had him in my 3-2-1 until the 75th minute. Credit where credit is due, can't fault him tonight. Deserves points
Berry- really is our premier centre
CHT- called on to do a job and he did it.

DM-

Montoya- had him as a HM at one point, but he turned into absolute shit after his try.

3. Ford - it's almost like he read this forum this week ('I'll show these ****s!')

2. Egan - the easiest game of 'spot the difference' you'll ever play: Warriors with him, Warriors without.

1. Harris - worked hard all game then took a well-deserved early mark, then had to come back on at the end in order to make sure we didn't blow it! Poor bastard. Who would want to be him?

A real quality, fast game tonight from both sides.

3 Barnett. AFB was back a little, (seemed like a injury) so Barnett did everything, The man is a rock.
2 Ford. His best game in a Warriors jersey on my view.
1 Roger. Still an error or two but when you combine magic with a huge workrate, how can you not score a point?

HM. Everyone. DM No one.

3 - Ford - Monster game. Actually looked big and threatening. Chopped Frizell down a couple times, which is no easy feat
2 - Egan - Back and just as good as ever
1 - Barnett - Pack leader two games in a row

HMs
CHT - slotted back into the halves without missing a beat
RTS - wanted to give him points because of his mammoth work rate and that try saver near the end, but he also made a couple errors and was barely in the picture (and jogging) for Best's try
Berry - the game's dominant centre until the last 10 minutes when Ponga started really targeting his side
Capewell - apart from his 50ish tackles, thought he did lots of little things well. Hit Ponga hard a few times in the first half, too
Pompey - I'm not a massive Pompey fan but thought he played well. Apparently ran for 154 metres, according to nrl.com
DWZ - Gave his usual 110%

No DMs

SJ, Harris, AFB all played well, as usual. Montoya made a couple poor defensive reads near the end again, but was pretty good overall, I thought.

Feeling for Metcalf. Hope he has a quick recovery.

Thought the overall quality of the game was good. The Knights turned up to play but our defense was excellent. Theirs was too. It was just that 5 minute period where Johnson put Ford through and Egan broke up the middle that was the difference.

Haven’t watched the game yet (listened on the radio at work) but hopefully getting off work early today to watch it on Kayo - looking forward to it

Apparently our goal line defence is poor letting a try in every 7.something tackles when teams inside thr 20m (2nd worst)

I think SJ kicking game pins teams in their corner in a 10x10m box is where we are winning the defensive battle.

I thought about changing my 3-2-1 today and giving a point to Ford (who was truly massive last night), but I've stuck with my gut reaction. RTS, as you'd expect, didn't play the perfect fullback's game, but he is a pretty handy third-string fullback.

03. Ford: He was everyehere and his efforts don't go un-noticed. His combination with SJ is heating up.

02. Egan: Man this guy is the No.1 hooker in the game for decision making and manipulation. Overall def Top 3.

01. CHT: I was going to give him only a HM due to the lack of awareness when smiling prematurely scoring that try however he really stepped up when required

HM: Andrew Webster = His way with handling the media and everyone around him. Good example was when questioned by the countless interviews regarding RTS. Total class act by saying its good chatter I haven't been angry at this team since Webby took over. It's a good time to be a Warriors fan.

I hope we school Latrell next weekend and show him that he’d be on the bench at the Warriors… in NSW Cup, as our #4 fullback
