For all the people rage posting right now, let's keep some perspective.
Dragons are no longer the mud side they've been all year. They were robbed against the Dogs, beat Canberra and taught Cronulla a lesson last week. Getting the 2 pts was never going to be easy tonight and we had to be good to beat them. They are a grubby side with their season on the line. To be as bad as we were and come away with the 2 pts is actually fortunate.
As for the game, no doubt that ranks as one of our worst performances all year, despite it being a win. For a side with the best completion rate in the comp, 10 errors is just ridiculous. No one player should be scape goated- JFH, Ford, Leka. They all contributed to the mess we created in the ruck.
But once we got out of our own way, I thought we won the middle battle. Erin did his usual thing and was our best I thought. DWZ, RTS monster meters as per usual. TSS also had another solid outing. EIT also did well in the middle, even though that is not his natural position.
Finally, Pompey haters need to chill. He had a shocking start no doubt and Finae was running rings around him. But he definitely redeemed himself by showing up Finae twice in the final 20 minutes, including for the match winning try. Pompey is one of our most consistent performers week in week out. So one mixed performance we should give.

Damn, as frustrating as that game was to watch at the stadium (HOLD THE F'N BALL AAAAAAGHGGRH!!!), such sweet relief to jag the win 
I could feel us getting Dolphins'd just before the Dragons made that last breakaway, but thankfully they also could not hold the f'n ball
My journey up the North Island wasn't in vain yeeeeeeeeahh!

I found it exciting at the game, frustrating asf sometines but the effort is there and we hit hard.
We found a way to win.

Congrats to Tuaupiki - his son was born just last night! Been in hospital most of the week. Chur mean alright 
The Dolphins didn't deserve their win over us either, can we have those 2 pointsDisgusting, diabolical, unethical win.
And before you say “a wins a win I’ll take it”, I’d almost prefer NOT to take this win it was that bad.*
The worst “top 4” side ever bro
*edit: because we didn’t deserve to win, fact.
Despite his defensive deficiencies, DWZ was a man possessed with the ball in hand tonight. Some massive runs to get us on the front foot.
We did everything in our power to lose that game and somehow we win!
Dallin you are my man tonight! You got us going forward with some great runs!
More of that please Dal!

Lucky, but I’ll happily take it.
JFH is not the player he once was, and I fear he’ll be a burden on our cap in the future.
Erin or Ford need to go to the bench.
CHT played very well.
Easily Boyd’s best game for us.
Healy needs to come on way earlier.

Credit to Roger and Dal for some huge runs and metres. JFH, mate, get your head right.

Well played Warriors.
For you blokes asking how it ever got to this point, it is just the normal dealings of a well run Warriors recruitment dept by Andrew McFadden.
The whole NRL know that the Warriors have an excess of future star back row forwards, apart from the NSW cup team advertising this every week they put Fatialofa on the paddock, there have been a bunch of articles and dozens of media mentions about the forwards coming through at the Warriors.
Penrith are watching Nathan cough I mean Jett every week and Dad is talking to him about who is a goer in this club eh.
First things first, the Warriors cannot stop any given player wanting to go and join the best team in the NRL eh. No one can if that player really wants to.
Second of all, this was smart dealings by Fatialofa's agent, clearly Kaylis never really wanted to go to Penrith, rather he wanted more money.
The Warriors themselves know full well what he has to offer, he is not a player they were going to let go willingly.
Some fans think the club is dumb, no if joe average fan thinks they can see something lemme tell you, the club knows a hundred fold more about any player than any fan.
This club has a long history of being irresponsible with its cap management and investing in the wrong youth....mistakes driven by this illusion called 'potential'.
Kaylis is not ahead of Leka, or Dimitric, or Gannon or Laban, those boys are NRL ready (some like to argue Gannon is not, well I watched his return to the ESL post injury and he is still surprise surprise a decent young talent sorry).
Some may argue Kaylis has greater potential, and fair enough (remove Gannon from that calculus, because he does specialist roles that the others cannot) maybe Kaylis will be as good as or even better than Leka.....but here is the real shit kicker....he is not ahead of any of those players as far as readiness goes at the time of these negotiations....and the Warriors would be setting a very bad example by putting him ahead purely on potential....so offering him that first offer was not low balling.....it was simply saying mate....you are barely out of highschool....there are a bunch of guys NRL ready right now that play your position....this is what we paid them at your age.....
I am very interested in seeing what happens with Crosby, he is also has huge potential, but he is not ahead of Kaylis, I mean it is crazy to think that had Crosby come from League, he might have been ahead of all of them.

So I had early good intel on this. Lucian and his brother player Harold matts. Lucian was the star & his brother ended up not making the 17 towards the end of the year.
The warriors offered Lucian a deal, but not Deangelo. The phins offered a package deal, which was the trump card in the end
It's been an absolute shitter of a week at mahi, so boys, I really need this lol.

If Penrith are after him you know he is quality. Glad we kept him.
