    Ahh waking up on a Saturday after a satisfying Friday night win, is thet anything better?

    Most of what I wanted to say has already been said. So many good performances. Barny, JFH and Clark leading the way and setting that line speed.

    CNK responding from his worst game ever in Vegas, to over 300 running meters.

    My only complaint about Leka is when ever he gets the ball theres always 3 or 4 guys in front of him. Maybe a set play or something where he's either 1 on 1 or 2 on 1. Once we figure out how to put him in space he's going to score a lot of tries

    Walkers killing our attack lately. Bring Healey onto the bench, Egan can’t keep this up all year. We’ll still have Ford and Demetric as middles, and once Halasima comes on, Niukore can shift to the middle rotation.

    A few times after trying to do a move Walker had to settle for hitting it up himself then after playing the ball was yelling and pointing at Metcalf that he wasn't in position. So it does look like Walker is killing the play but it's the only option sometimes for him.

    I was at the game thinking it was Demetric carving up and announcing himself to the NRL.
    Got home and it was Leka.

    We might need to upgrade this boy soon - that was immense.

    Yes. Those 2 young guys off the bench were enormous last night.Huge promise & Laban to come thru yet.
    Thought Luke played as a link man & never attacked the line.Maybe an off night or playing to instructions Who knows?
    CNK was obviously great .JFH also went about his work largely unnoticed.Pomps adequate. CHT was great & seems to be growing in confidence.Marata was bruising both sides of the ball.Capes was better & needed to be with whats on the bench.
    Egan was great & seems to have learned new tackle techniques.Barney was Barney very good .
    Ali is unstoppable near the line he is going to be a Great for us.
    Confidence is growing in the entire team even AW has more confidence in his bench use. Great night overall

    Hands up who was confident of the win 8 points up ten minutes left to play?
    Any other warriors season you don't let yourself relax until ten seconds left.
    The reason I was confident was I looked on the field and saw Fish standing there. And thought this is on ice. Fish completely shuts down the ruck area and 1 out runners with 20 minutes to play with an iron fist. As I posted last week his best in the NRL middle third defence is a better fit for the warriors than AFBs best in the NRL PCMS.

    I was thinking exactly the same - AFB is a deadset star, but such a prima donna and doesn't gel with his team mates. Now we have a unit.
    80mins, in the grind, and finish the last 20 far stronger. Can't remember a more satisfying win.

    I thought the game would have quietened Marata's critics, I thought he was immense last night, good work rate and damaging. And Leka coming on late to skittle some Sydney Cocks was prime viewing! Created the broken field for TT to have a scuttle which in turn set up for the last try.

    Ali vs Nawaqanitawase was just great sport, 2 real talents playing hard and in good spirit. Thoroughly enjoyed their duel.

    The dream.

    Pretty sure he'll be the caretaker when Todd gets shit canned. Probably even turn them around.

    Given how Toddy walked out on us and pretty much did it on live TV, there is a sense of schadenfreude watching this slowly play out… but that’s not for this thread.

    Gutsy win. I’m more pleased about the 6 points conceded. We keep defending well then we give ourselves a chance every week,.

    To break the roosters hoodoo is sweet and satisfying. Another club I am not a fan of. Well done to the boys. Some great effort plays from our old heads and young guns. That’s what excited me.

    Ali and Leka look superb. Our front row is exceptional, Clark is definitely buy of the year, CNK had a standard setting performance (aside from the positioning on Le Chads 40/20)

    Tigers next. Winnable away with a 9 day turnaround. I’m backing us here with a decent rest.

    Then a bye and a good 14 days before Storm. This is the year of breaking hoodoos. With that workload, we will be reasonably fresh for that challenge.

    2-1. Let’s make it 3 next week. Well done tonight boys!
     
    Glad Leka's ability is starting to show in first grade now.

    A feel like the fans of this club have been so scarred by juniors with potential in the past, they will immediately dismiss anyone saying he's the next big thing.

    Hopefully he continues to work hard and doesn't let it get to his head.
     
    Ivwatched the delayed covreage on free to viee. First off there are some hard critics on here. I thought it was just what the yeam needed as a performance. They groundbout avwin aga8nst a strong resilient opposition.

    Mistakes are bound to happen but they were kept to a minimum and completions were high.

    I guess Harper will replace RTS, or maybe Kosi. Some very good performers in the NSW TEAM.

    i would tempted to leave Pompey on the Wing and use Rocco.

    I don't mind Cobbo. But would Webby be able to do what he's done for Fordy and Barney and get the best out of him?

    On Ford. I realise tonight he performs for Webby. He needs his Webby love. Then he'll rip in.

    I've been really impressed with Ford to be honest. A lot of people couldn't find room for him in their 17, yet he seems to do the job he's always asked.
    Has started, played a 30 min stint off the bench and tonight I thought he was one of our better players. 1 error and 0 penalties on 3 games is excellent for him too, seems to have really tidied up that area of his game.

    They were getting over us at times. The second half we were struggling to get any field position. The first few times we got down there in the second half we wasted the opportunity.

    I thought this could end up at 6-4 or a late Roosters try and we go down fighting.

    NO. They managed to turn it around with the starters coming back on and the two young forwards adding impact.

    I love that we play out the full 80. If teams beat us make them earn it.

    Keep playing like this at home and keep the crowds coming. That will be an intimidating atmosphere for an away trip.

    Last year we would have lost that game for sure.

    Big shift in mentality and hope it becomes the new normal.

    Notable metres

    CNK 30 runs 314m. Godlike
    Back 5 all over 100m

    Metcalf 2runs 9m Needs to run first early on
    Fish 14runs 128m always solid
    Egan 10runs 98m maintaining
    Barnett 15runs 159m beast

    Capewell 10 for 84m poor and weak contact
    Marata 6 for 48m     getting phased out for youth

    Clark 15 for 164m 10/10 every week so far
    Walker 14 for 134m big
    Ford 15 for 148m Crazy to talk about dropping him

    Marata’s run metres are deceptive, he gets late ball into contact so makes fewer metres per carry
