Not really a fan of that thinking. All players aspire to play for ckubs that can further develop their skills to reach higher honours. If we want to be a serious consideration for fringe/current rep players and at the sane time be successful, we need to have players in consideration and moreso plsying for SOO rep sides.
I didn’t see any of the build up so didn’t realize he was playing wing until he came flying in for the rabbits try.
Made sense in theory- fielding the same backline as last year with rts filling the dwz roll.
In practice it looked a bit shaky but he still ran for 165m and scored a try.
it’s a luxury to be able to slip him in anywhere in the backline.
It was a typical selfless performance and stoked he got the W in his 200th.

Yes but first I want the Warriors to win the NRL comp 28th season keeping the faith ...then yeah take heaps of players ...but for me NRL champions first ...don't give flying fuck for WARs playing in the SOO ...but if the best from the other teams want to bash each other into injuries fine by me ...one advantage we can take to even out the REF Bias
Egan got a season-ending injury would be gutting for our chances... SOO has much laxer reffing .... higher odds a player like Egan could be injured

Also something to note. Crowd for game was just ovrr 13k. Fairly low turnout but very much due to train tracks at stadium were flooded so closed. Other nearby train lines were also closed or under heavy traffic. Most ppl at the game would have had to come by private transport, ride share or buses. Suspect many fans who had planned to make the journey only realised how bad access to the stadium via trains was too late.
Or the bunnies fans foresaw what would happen and stayed home to avoid disappointment.
As we celebrate a warriors win. We are in Newtown tonight. Not as dodgy as last night lol 
Where the hell were u last night then…….?As we celebrate a warriors win. We are in Newtown tonight. Not as dodgy as last night lol
Not sure if it has been discussed as I didn't read see the fixtures when they first came out.
We get our first two byes in the state of origin time frame, Round 13 and Round 19 but our one main bye is in Round 27.
Last season I think our only main bye was Round 12.
By the time Round 27 comes along we could either count on the two points to keep us in the 8, make top 4, or lose out completely by 2 points.
I don't really know how I feel about getting our main at Round 27?
Take a week off and prepare for the finals?
It could be touch and for us.

Be interesting to see the power rankings come out this week and where the warriors are placed

They like their 9's to tweet about doing boxing day lines
And to think we were intially gutted when notorious Bond villian Agent 47 turned us down.
Thank the RL lord that fell through, and Webby fell into our arms.

More Thoughts
* 5min Souths scored. RTS rushed up on D and left his winger open. CNK got bamboozled for a soft try.
* Latrell is lazy. First return decides to throw a 10m bullet pass to his far right rather than taking the ball up..
13 runs 84m??? CNK 24 runs 263m!!!
* SJ’s soft short pass to Berry for the first try was exactly the same pass he gave to Ford for the second
* 6-4 until 5mins to half time. That was a real grind for 34 mins.
* In 5mins we blitzed them we two beautiful tries.
Fords try set up by SJ and a beautiful dummy from Egan to CNK who broke away. TMM on his left, but passes to SJ on the right. Pure joy to watch. TMM has a beautiful smile
* Latrells between the legs on Tohu. looked real bad even on replay. Yeah he let him down easy and was in control but that shit is not on.
* a lot of errors by Souths
18-4 at half time could easily have been 6-4
Came out strong in the second half.
8mins in - Egan again finds a gap, breaks through, finds TMM, then to SJ. Try!
24-4 with 30mins to go
10mins of another arm wrestle then RTS scores in the corner. Good team try with CNK distribution on point.
10mins left on the clock and TMM shows and goes to score the final try
34-4
6 try’s
SJ - sets up 2 with short passes for Berry and Ford
Egan sets up 2 for SJ scoring both
Team try for RTS
TMM individual try
TMM involved in 3 of those try’s.
SJ and Egan are critical to our success this season. And AFB.
Souths really didn’t play that bad. They were simply worn down and beaten by a better team.

Media are really pumping up the souths did shit narrative for this game. I actually didn't think Souths played that badly. Sure, their completions were terrible but they really competed physically, especially at the beginning. Wighton is a clear standout for them and will continue to cause teams trouble on his edge. They were just outplayed by a better team. Given enough ball, we will put a score on most teams this year. Souths won't be the exception. The media just needs to readjust their expectations re the bunnies. They are not premiership contenders- at best they will be struggling to make the 8 this year.
He's probably being managed by JD poorly who imo. Looks likes a world class fuckknuckle

If Ford got those Egan passes he’d have taken both tackles while both halves overran (hands in the air) and out of position for the next play
The games evolved in terms of successful fullback play.Just watched a replay

Dylan Edwards is the new model.
You need to be able to run for 80 minutes like non-stop.
Papenhayzen , Drinkwater, CNK , tedescos
the guys who don't stop working
That's what Walsh needs to work on. Or he'll end up like latrell, who would be an elite centre or a great 5/8 imo.
