How have the Bulldogs gone to 2nd on ladder when they dont play until tonight.
Warriors were 2nd last night

Amazing to think we will end the round in the top four

oh, maybe not Knights could go ahead too... 5th as lowest is pretty good tho

It was new tigers for 35 minutes and old tigers for 45 minutes.

I hate that Greg Alexander played for us. He actually hates us and never gives us our dues.

Yeah it was funny. Most of the League shows and streams were the same and were lost on how to assess it as it stuffed up their "resurgent Tigers" narrative they all seem hell bent on championing.

Still doesnt answer my question

Pretty cool to see the respect from Walsh and Reynolds for Sj.
Hes bloody good in the media- his footy iq is off the charts.

Good having someone that recently retired in the box, think the players can relate more.

I notice they were giving pretty stock standard answers to the others but opened up and let their guard down with SJ.

Mind you him and Reynolds have been going at it since their u/20 days so the mutual respect is obvious, and if there's anyone that can understand a high profile highlights player like Walsh....its SJ

Because they were 1st, Broncos jumped them.

Ok thanks. My bad.

Not sure, probably to do with they haven't played yet, so unknown if they top of the ladder or drop a few places

fox sports is basically the rugby league version of fake news. They constantly use their commentators to continually push their talking pts at all costs, in particular with respect to Tigers as the feel good story of the year. NRL commentary for our game against the tigers is case in pt. I've had enough with the "Warriors were lucky against the Tigers" bs that I've head non-stop since last Sunday. They lost to us fair and square and we were the better team. The way they capitulated in the second half last night is further evidence of their deficiencies as a team. The way Brandy and co were trying to make excuses for the tigers was so pathetic. Cringeworthy commentary last night.

This is why the growth of the podcasts is so refreshing: even if they may share some of the same Sydney-centric biases, shows like Bloke in a Bar and Levels do a good job of looking past the traditional narrative and giving teams like us a fair shout.

Yup. When Storm beat us with that magical Coates try, did they ever say the Storm were lucky? Or that we were the better team until that try?

Fox don't want Warriors to be on top.

So far round 5

Thank you that Niukore had a bye and didn't get his sin bin orders

Parra vs Dragons was entertaining and I was supporting Walker like he's still ours.

Amazing how I can support an ex player. But an ex wife???

He's always given his all for us. Rumors aside, he's made a positive contribution to the club and grown as a player just like Monty. Wish him all the best and was happy for the eels.

100%

Nothing but respect for Walker
Always gave it 100 on the field and made a positive contribution to the club.
What he does in his personal life is his own business

Climbing to the 5, Canonball

Wait we are not paying him child support I mean shipping fees are we?

Ponga wins MVP and announces signing with the warriors at Matty Jones interview right after

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Looks like Brendan Piakura won't be playing against us. His high tackle is a grade 2, which is generally a 2 game suspension I believe.

I’m not ruling out any result in todays games.
Moses Leo starts
