Looked worse than it was. Mind you, some other posters were worked up about it

The problem with it that I could see, was when they showed the front on replay, it looks as if Hurrell is looking at Tupou and timed the knee lift to perfection. In reality, it was a poorly executed hip bump. Doesn't mean he's not in trouble though.

As great as a win is, any win, this isn't really the way we need to be winning games.

It's glossing over the fact that we reaplays, aren't progressing as a team this year.

Plenty bad with the game and relying on individual brilliance to get the 2 points.
Refs really had it in for us, when we are pinged for things Sharkies get away with, retreating players in plays, markers not square, lying in the ruck (one set sticks out), incorrect play the balls.
I didn't think we would get passed it.
Have to tape tomorrows replay to listen for Mannerings call if it was Mannering about paying the ref as he was warned it was just a scrum at the moment.
Lillyman, Matulino, Hoffman Mannering and Thompson made over 100m
Lolo error free (not going to ground near in goal apparently doesnt count) and a massive play on Barbara runaway.
Manu seemed off even before the injury.
Kata just still making some rookie mistakes, Hurrell can be damaging but still to many errors in the game.
Johnson had a different license tonight to roam, his kicking option at times where average, his goal conversions an issue as well, definitely rocks and diamonds, but he did win the game for us on two plays.
Young props made their impact.

Was a terrible gaame from my point of view that neeed some individual magic to win it. SJ did just that.
Two teams nullifying each other in the forwards. Backs not really giving much. We had a slightly better attacking structure.

But it was the individuals that stepped up...ala Fifita and Johnson, and Johnson won the day.

Lucky to get away with that one, both teams did their best to lose it for mine. Still, if we want to make the finals this year we have to nab the points in games like that every now and then. Props to Johnson for turning it on at the end, but very mediocre performance for most of the match.

Interesting how our issue earlier was with completion rates. Fixed that up but then our defence was horrible. Fixed THAT up and now we concede too many penalties and our attack seems numbed. Just can't ever seem to complete a full performance. Still, 2 points, will take it any day of the week.

Hurrell? He sounds like a fool at the moment. How'd that incident with Tupou look on TV?

Might have to revoke my previous post, he is in a fair bit of trouble, in a slow motion replay from fox sports news he eyes up Tupou and lifts his knee bracing for impact.
Broken jaw is not going to help his cause.
Do we have a good lawyer?

Enjoyed Vossy's commentatory, especially at the end that I missed due to celebrating.
"This is incredible, this is rediculas, this is 15 out of 10 on the incredible meter!"

Does anyone else feel as though Voss is a Warriors/Kiwi hater? First it was Manu then it was Locke/Hurell and now it's Johnson/the whole team. Never heard him talk down the likes of Fein, Nielsen, Wright. Please Fox give the Warriors someone else, anyone other than Wanker Voss!!!

Best play of the game by far for me, about 30-35m out from the Sharks like, Johnson at first receiver calling for the ball. Friend throws a 15m pass purposely over the top of Johnson to Lillyman, to take a soft hit up.

Johnson's moments of brilliance masked what was another very poor performance overall. Stupid penalties all over the place. Botched tries, kicks out on the full. Johnson can't kick goals if his life depended on it.

We are incredibly lucky to sneak away with 2 points. Wasn't the improvement I was hoping for.

Now Manu looks injured. Konnie most likely suspended. We are going to be short 2 more outside backs next week and will field a piss poor collection of makeshift wingers and centres.

Friend really was terrible last night, maybe he's bummed that he can't hound Watson on twitter for another contract extension now that they've signed Luke. :lol:

Agree... although the pack was very good, again - hooker and everyone else pretty much shit.

Johnson's "individual brilliance" is getting lauded, but without Hoffman's "individual brilliance" just prior, it doesn't happen
