How about giving some credit to Auckland for some great, expansive footy

Just cause Parra are coming 2nd doesnt mean you have to be on your high horse.

The Warriors were terrible as well bombing a number of tries with simple errors

the only saving grace for the Warriors was that the Roosters were worse

Good on the Warriors for winning but neither team really deserves any credit for a poor quality game.

Just like the Eelsa v Tigers match in round 1

neither team deserved to win but the Tigers were just a little worse then Parra.

The warriors did very well to win that one.

The roosters looked like they were gone with 15mins to go, looked very unfit, dropping off tackles.

And then the ref......well, Warriors shouldn't have ever been in a position to need to fight back. The touch judges, video ref and Mander had a shocker.

Did anyone see that peanut they focussed on as the players were walking off, trying to pick a fight with a Warriors fan? That bloke is absolute scum, I think everytime just about I've been to the SFS he's tried to start trouble with Raiders fans.

If the Roosters make the 8 it's proof that the top 8 is a joke

How a team that pathetic can make the finals is beyond me

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Hopefully they don't. They don't they don't deserve to be there.

That was one of the best games this season on pure excitement. Paleasina with some blockbusting runs, Villa the Gorilla getting his arms free and after making 10+ metres gets a good ball away, the only thing missing was bit ali lautiti running around with the ball in one hand and throwing behind the back passes.

How the hell did the Warriors win that, they were terrible yet still cam back from 22-8 down.

The Knights would've beaten either of these sides by 60 without Andrew Johns

what planet are you on? They didn't play too badly at all

Well I must be drunk then

1st half and early 1nd half up to the time the score got to 22-8 the Warriors were very sloppy

Then the Roosters went to sleep and the Warriors came back.

It was an entertaining game and a great win by the Warriors but neither team showed anything that will see them get too much further in the competition

Kia Kaha Warriors!

Stick your flag up your ar$e you neville know it all touch judge. No wonder you were laughing as the penalty was awarded.

Unbelievable. Push and shove 30 metres up field. Betham says plays up there mate, Tupou won't release so he pushes him off. Penalty?!! Last week, we have a 30 man brawl centering around the play (a kick), yet its a try? You're kidding me. Absolutely kidding me.

As far as the first Meli no try, clear try, ball propelled backwards, and as a long spiral often does floated forward. This Faumuina is a brilliant player. He set it up beautifully. Same touch judge cost him. You know something's awry when Stacey Jones, Mr Quietness, Mr Humbleness blows his trumpet and is warned to watch what he says.

8 point at least swing off the horror penalty on Betham, one the NRL will have trouble living down. 22-14, and it was all square for mine. Great work from the lads to stay focussed after that tripe.

Good one Robert Finch. Didn't work though. Better luck next time. NRL >>>> Finch off now will you? These blokes are getting worse and worse under his control. Either that was straight out cheating, or unworldly incompetence.

Gotta agree with that, they are getting more inconsistent and incompetent.

The warriors got rorrted on many calls last night but the Betham call wasn't one of them.

Tupou had had enough of the wrestle and turned to rejoin play at which point betham pushed him over. It doesn't matter if Tupou was never goping to get back and nsave the try, Betham was knuckle-headed enough to start the fight so the penalty goes against him.

Difference between this and last week is that the fight instigatorwas on the team that scored the try. The officials were correct to disallow the try. Betham is a moron who got what he deserved.

I'm no Finch fan, but he played well today.. Miracles will happen!

He was made to look good by the warriors defence at the start of the match, but when the going gets tough, the piss weak go crawling into a hole and that's exactly what happened with Finch.

The punch up penalty was fair enough, but the subsequent try to the roosters clearly shouldn't have been. 6 again ruled by Mander when Roberts knocked the ball back from the bomb. Warriors have been dudded on plenty of other calls as well.

the penalty was for the push not the punch. haha we nwant to play league not tiddlywinks as umaga would say.
