Feels like we're edging closer and closer to the form at the start of the season.

Plenty to improve on, but it seems that our identity is 60 mins of grind, 20 mins in top gear.

AKP is phenomenal.

I just don't see how you meddle with the halves pairing, at this stage.

Well deserved bye.

 

[1995warriorsfan]

16 points.

 

[BrisbaneWarrior]

Good win, 4 point game with the bye coming up

 

[Dlenai]

Rest up boys, you deserve it.

What a difference a winger with speed makes.

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Someone called it at half time, fatigued the Eels and steam rolled them at the end.

Great coaching by Webster as well, held reserves back to finish strong when the Eels faltered.

Great effort from the Eels but ultimately we were to good

Loving AKP as well!

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Byes come at a good time......rest, recuperate and re-focus

 

[Tragic]

Messy but closed it out well. Relieved.
Bye should give them a nice break into a big win at magic round.

 

[Mr Drag]

Better bring their A game to Bronco's!

 

[tyrael]

Awesome to win before the bye, makes next week way more enjoyable.

 

[WAH MAN]

Rest up boys, you deserve it.

What a difference a winger with speed makes.

Yeah Dallin is great aye

The old adage against the Warriors was stay with them for 60 and they will fade. Not this team.

The last few years we have been doing that against a lot of teams.

I love it.

 

[KPWarrior]

79th minute desperation being 20+ points in front, that's some top tier stuff!

 

[Worried2Death]

We've got the most intimidating front rowers in the comp, add in Capewell and we're like a pack of psychos

Found the interchange plan from webby this game to be interesting. We subbed off our number 8 (JFH) and 13 (Clark), ten mins after the eels did so (Walker and Paulo). But then subbed back on our 8 (JFH) back on directly after they did. Same with our 13 (Clark). But because we still havn't subbed out ford, we are able to sub off our a prop (Ford) and lock (Clark) for a 2nd stint of our bench prop (EIT) and lock (Vaimauga). Putting them into the fucking ground at the back end of the game. 50% of our tries were after we got our starters back on with 20 mins left.

For the first time in a while i really liked a webster interchange.

Barring injuries, I'd tipping AKP to chase Milky Jenkins as leading try scorer. Bro is killing it. Was disappointing that he didn't back himself with the intercept though.

Demi is our modern day Feka Palaesina.

Erin for MOTM. He turned that match at 18-14 when Ennis was cheering parra on. Never turned back after that pt.

Bring on Broncs at Magic Round. That is our first real test of how far we can go premiership wise.

 

[snake77]

Vaimauga he is great off the bench. Keeps the momentum going. Last year he was providing offloads.

Tonight some great runs from the kick off.

He's consistent as well which I love. He plays like a veteran.

 

[tajhay]

Yeah Dallin is great aye

to be fair, even though he doesnt have as much pace, he has been doing his job this season and is gives his all.

 

[Worried2Death]

All that with the luxury of Mets on the bench as insurance in case Tanah goes down, never seen depth like it.

Great signing for sure
Today's game is designed for speed and finally we have some
