burt scores will be -10 for/against we move to 7th on ladder :)

-10 puts us back in the "for and against hunt" with the Panthers(+7) and Rabbitohs (+10)

Basically for and against might not be the factor that keeps us out of the 8 now!! Of course we still need to keep on winning

They'll be some bruised bodies in the Eels rooms tonight. Great game against a big pack, however they hardly tested us in attack. A good game to claw back some F&A, but I wouldn't get carried away with it. Some of the reports that we were "sensational" or "sizzled" that I have read so far on NRL, Foxsports & SMH are stretching it a bit IMO. The Warriors are pretty ordinary.

Looked like Inu, Mortimer and Hindmarsh copped small knock during the game. Hopefully they're all right for next week.

Big game now this Friday against Wests... question is, do they play Feleti and/or KK?

Cayless might be back, and it looks like Joe G wasn't as injured as first thought the week before.

Dude, watch the replay. We dominated them. We couldve scored 3 more tries, as well. Only 4 points conceded, and we were smashing them in defence all night.

Great win. Hayne was on FIRE!!

Over the course of the game I could probably agree, as the Warriors we average, however.....

- the first 20 mins we were awesome.
- the Warriors tried to out muscle us, in the past it would have worked
- Hayne was awesome.
- Tood played one of his best.
- Fui tore em apart.
- Burt had a blinder
- as a team we played with enthusiasm

He held his own. The Warriors have run out of ideas so every week they bomb away to Vatuvei's wing. Most games he scores one too, which he did again last night.

It's a credit to the Eels defence that the only try they conceded was from a bomb.

Great win from our for our for and against, bit i agree with Gronk after our first 15 min onslaught when Fui went off we were a little bit flat for the next 20. Burty's great try on halftime put paid to any comeback. And how good is Hayne???? The guy is just a freak who continues to amaze.

I thought we were going through the motions after we got up to 18-0, at the game it felt like full-time was taking way too long.

We did however do what we needed to do and we won as favourites when both Friday night games went our way......

Oh and Hayne is just.......wow......

I didn't see the replay at the game but is anyone in trouble for that "above the horizontal" tackle??????

Cant wait til Tuesday to see what team is named. Unfortunatly Brod Wright may have sustained an injury last night. ACL. I think he was heading off for scans after the game and hoping its only a sprain.. Fingers crossed!

Does anyone know what happened to Timmy Mannah. He got replaced after around 20 mins and never came back.

I also wondered about Hayne being injured , he seemed to be a bit sore around the 20 min mark and didn't get involved much over the next 15mins. He also didn't take the drop kick in the second half and had an early shower.

With his involvement in the second half I wouldn't expect it to be anything serious but may be carrying a niggle that gets aggravated now and again.

I reckon that flat spot towards the end of the second half shows that we missed Cayless. I hope hes fit to play against the Tigers.
