Oz, what's with your waaaaay out of control boner for Maloney? He doesn't deserve the 3 points every week ffs.....this game was about our defence up the middle surely, it's not like Maloney had much to do on attack.

thought that might be a possibility tbh but it's a pretty obscure piss-take, who is it aimed at?

2.Mannering
3.Henderson

Anyone starting to get 2002 vibes?.

 

[Mixmasterreece]

3. Henderson - His best game this year
2. Matulino - Some CRUCIAL TACKLES
1. Luck - Immense on D

Special mention - Lewis Brown & Jerome Ropati.

Could some explain to me exactly what Simon Mannering offers?

Solidarity. And defense. Hes michael lucks understudy. sh*t were gonna have to get inu and mateo firing on all cylinders to make the 17 at this rate, judging on their poor form last week.

I lost the plot at the TV numerous times during this game, but surprised myself by aiming a blast at a Warriors player, which is very rare for me.
Mannering must do all his captaincy work away from the camera, because I never see him doing any of the things Price would.
Why he wasn't there chatting to that piece of sh*t referee on NUMEROUS occasions, I have no idea. He doesn't have an air of authority about him and he need him to stand up and fight for us. No wonder guys like Maloney get frustrated and run their mouths. His stats certainly don't highlight him as a stand out second rower either. I'd pick Lewis Brown, Ta'ai, Luck over him every time on this season's form. Simon certasinly isn't BAD, he just isn't...
anyway...

3.Brown - incredible in the centres. Huge power game.
2.Ropati - backed up well and didn't choke against a MUCH tougher oposition. Love his work.
1.Luck - Made at least a million tackles, and not just flops.

Packer (managed over 100m and 39 tackles, always present) and Matulino should also be in there, along with most of the team. Lousi did well with a start, moving on from his errors last week.

I gotta say once more, f**k that referee. So SO So so SO angry at him. If we had lost that it would have been heartbreaking. Massive guts and composure in total adversity.

 

[super_coach]

3 points for the whole 17--best defensive effort I have seen in a long time and got some shocking calls from the ref

 

[MKEB...]

3. The warriors

That is all

Mate, Maloney led that team around the paddock superbly.

Our defence won us the game, no doubt but we are after our MOM here.

If Maloney had had an off day today, we'd have lost, he is our pivot atm...

 

[hitman82]

Maloney is pretty much our captain. In real life. He's the buy of the season by a mile

 

[Philip_Smith007]

3-Brown -Great on attack and defence.
2-Hendo - In every tackle he could, I think its the beard getting him going
1-Matulino - some great try savers.

Great all round effort.
Ref did his best to take it from us.
Gus and Sterlo where questioning a few calls, so you know your not seeing things when an Aussie agree' with you! Hayne should be dropped for the performance!
Johns looks like he is injured.
Wonders how Hohia and co will get back into the team when they come good?

No, but the number of hairy chins out there reminds me of 2008 - are we starting to grow beards again?? Even Tate had a bit of growth happening on 40/20 tonight.

Amen to that brother. Ref calls don't bother me all that often as they tend to even out, but this game IMO was the worst one sided reffing display I have seen in months, and I haven't been so angry about officiating watching a game for a couple of years. It was utterly disgraceful, reffing one side, and this guy should be dragged over the coals in the upcoming weeks. Terrible, terrible, terrible. we finally got the commentators saying it at the end of the game for vindication, but sh*t I was mad, we could have easily lost that game because he was only interested in reffing one side.

Otherwise- 3-2-1 can't be seperated to me, team effort. I'm so proud of that defensive effort under such pressure and harsh officiating. It is justice the Pathers blew every chance handed to them on a plate, but that takes nothing away from our guys that just never gave it up. Big ups to them

How good is Lewis Brown? Love him

It was certainly evident right from kick off that we had a lot of intensity about our defense. The ferocity that our forwards were hitting the Penrith ball carriers with, together with the desperation in our cover defence was a joy to watch. Certainly the most commited defensive performance from a Warriors outfit since 2008. On numerous occasions we had three or four guys swarming on the opposition winger when Penrith looked to move the ball and try and find the overlap. There was even great commitment shown in defence for Penrith's only try (which was pretty dubious anyway imo).

Ropati deserves a special mention as well. He looks revitalised at fullback. Certainly offering more than Hohaia has at fullback all year.

You are just giving him points (usually 3) every single week. It is ridiculous. I'm certainly warming to him but you seem to think he's like our Thurston or something.
