Is there anywhere online one can watch match replays? NRL.com requires payment now and I suspect subscriptions are only available to Aussies/telstra customers - is that correct (I haven't tried)?

http://livestream.com/nrl
but you either need a vpn/geoblocking connection or an extension in your browser to make your location from overseas. i thnk there a few free browser extensions out there. but i would disable them when you are not watching the nrl for security purposes.

The question or problem is can we keep it up till round 26...

The top-eight's been our bogeyman since 2012 so I'm really not even thinking about it, Phil.

It's just game by game, week by week at this stage.

Newcastle ran the Eels real close the last time they played at home, they're more than capable of bursting our little bubble next week.

I know you must be such a proud Mum right now.

He and the whole team played bloody well, was quite incredible to see what we are capable of.

I dare say there was some rugby union style play in our team that clearly caught the broncos off guard.

Can we continue this into real form?

I see SJ has been on the radio today complaining about the criticism the team has received this year.

Settle down champ. You guys have put in one 80 minute performance in half a season.

He's really become a whiny bitch, McFadden is the same arguing they've been unjustly criticised, which is bullshit.

Don't mind the siege mentality etc just keep it in house. Easy for Johnson to avoid social media if he finds of troubling

Warriors have no choice but to keep on winning, its bloody awsome to see the entire team play great warrior style football, if they go back to playing poor then it will get uglier online.

SJ should turn just focus on playing like that every week because I actually saw a top NRL half against the broncos and would like to see that every week of the season.

It's like they weren't expecting criticism to come with the job and the other funny thing is, they think that by telling everyone that they don't like scrutiny that it will all stop. It's stupid for them to let it settle in their head as they should be talking and thinking about things they CAN change.

Exactly they have only really kicked into gear once this year, most people can only dream of having a leisure activity(that they presumably enjoy) that they can make a real decent living out of even if it is only for a few years. Its living the dream provided you put in every week.

I loved it when he slammed his team for not following him during one of his breaks though.

But otherwise yeah he needs to get away from the media, shut up and play like that more than once a season son.

Enjoyed Saturday night immensely.

However, I knew we'd win that game. That's exactly the sort of game we've won all year and for the last five years. Minimal interruption in our side and a fair amount in their side, notably to their star players. If we didn't start as favourites, we should have. Our record shows that around Origin time, we smell opportunities. We also smelled it with the Knights, the Roosters in poor form, the Dogs off 5 day turnaround then the woeful Dragons. We'll smell it next week again against the Knights, then again with a Roosters side that has injuries and Origin reps.

This is following every other season since 2012, it really is. I won't believe we've turned a corner for a second until it gets to round 18-19 and we start beating teams that are as well prepared and well stocked at least at us.

There was a lot to like, we'll just see if those things continue to happen under stronger pressure. Let's be honest, the Broncos were flat as a biscuit.

Social media is a bit of a bitch to be honest and this generation are really the guys who are most susceptible to its impact. It used to be maybe a newspaper or a passerby in the street...now a whole bunch of armchair critics and keyboard warriors are taking aim any time these guys pop their heads up. Part of me says "yeah, avoid the social media"- but then, another part of me is sympathetic towards them.

I agree with that part...social media is a massive bitch.

Saying 'stay off social media' is victim blaming. It's a diluted version of 'she shouldn't have worn a short skirt'. I know I'm diving off the deep end with that comment but I'm sure it's seen what I mean by that. If all of a sudden Shaun Johnson is off social media, unable to engage with the true fans and do things like the outstanding thing he did in being the waterboy at the Marlins...then the f**king weak bastard trolls win. Nah. I don't mind the 'you suck' brigade, I've felt like that after losses. It's the personal shit that needs to be brought to attention and weeded out.

I absolutely abhor social media and the all hail the internet era. My brother in law (teenager) asked me what the pre-internet days were like the other day...I said they were f**king great. He thought I'd say it was impossible, we never got shit done and had no idea what everyone was eating for breakfast - ie a nightmare. I very much enjoy being able to discuss the NRL with great people on here but even the troll element and personal attacks gets on my nerves sometimes.

I do agree people shouldn't be arseholes on social media. That's unfair and I believe the technical term is...well this forum will correct it.

But SJ is younger than me. He grew up in this. He knew the risks. He loved the attention around the tennis this year.

You just need to ignore the shit you don't want to hear. I've got an ex who will still send me messages sometimes - I don't like it, and I just ignore it. That's way worse than hearing I'm no good at my job and it'll take a second, but just carry on.

Key team statistics provided another layer to the Vodafone Warriors’ best performance of the season in their 36-18 win over Brisbane on Saturday.
They produced season-topping numbers for most line breaks in a match with 10, fewest missed tackles with 16 and an equal best error count of just six (matching the number in the second-round loss to the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium).
The metres gained total of 1589 was second to the 1658 in the win over Canterbury Bankstown in Wellington while the completion rate of 83 per cent (29 from 35) was bettered only by the 86 per cent at Suncorp Stadium in March.
Individual highlights included Tuimoala Lolohea’s 183 metres from 11 runs with 11 tackles breaks, a try assist, two line breaks and two line break assists while Solomone Kata complemented his barnstorming ninth try of the season with 157 metres from 12 carries, two line breaks and seven tackle breaks.
Front rowers Jacob Lillyman and Ben Matulino made big contributions, too, Lillyman with 130 metres from 15 runs (not to mention his first try in 78 matches since the opening round of the 2013 season) and Matulino with 147 from 15 in his total of 42 minutes of the field.
There were a number of impressive stats for the club’s Intrust Super Premiership and NYC sides as well, not least prop James Gavet with 182 metres from 17 runs in the ISP win over Wentworthville and front rower Bunty Afoa with 206 metres from 20 runs in the NYC side’s loss to Brisbane.
