Watching Critter defend tonight was pretty special. Never rushes in unless he's got his man lined up. Never panics. Just waits...and waits...and waits...and commits when he should.

1-0 up against the mighty morons.

Yeah it was one where NSW really didn’t seem too troubled tbh. Qld played like they didn’t know one another. Very poor with the ball

Yep that was a training run for NSW. QLDs refusal to go to Hammer was baffling tbh, they’re obviously wary of Critta in defence (for good reason), but still

Well marking up against Crichton and Lomax would be a nightmare tbh. They’re both massive and very good defenders. Lomax just gets better and better as a winger. A proper metre eater these days and epic in the air. It very odd they didn’t go to their fastest bloke. Was wasted

Jeez Newcastle stink. They’re going to be spoon contenders for years unless they find some decent young forwards asap. An organising half of even moderate standard would help too.

Luckily they're getting Dylan Brown next year...

That was a fun game. Nice to see the Warriors bounce back after last week's loss.

 

[Burgey]

Errors really cost Parra this arvo. Still a long way to go but they're definitely on the improve. I think Penrith's back row was the real difference. They got a lot more out of their blokes, while ours made a lot of mistakes. Hopgood's form for mine is one of the biggest worries we have atm. Hasn't been the same since his back injury last year in origin. He's been really poor this season. We're playing a decent brand of footy at least. Decent to watch, and defending a lot better now than at the start of the year.

No disrespect to today's commentators there's some really good ones, but after what seemed like a lifetime of listening to this fella it's safe to say
it's just not the same. Do everyone a favor Rabs and come back from retirement.

We’re at the point where he could commentate from home so I wholeheartedly agree. The one thing missing for me from the Cleary/Panthers era.

I loved Rabs, he was the soundtrack to Friday nights growing up. But even in the late 00s he was starting to falter quite regularly, mixing up players names etc.

Best commentator rugby league has ever had by a long way, but a comeback at this point would probably tarnish a fantastic legacy.

Surely that was a try to the dragons. Bloke had two hands on the ball as it was put down.

Now the Dolphins go up the other end and score. 12 point turnaround. No justice there

What a grab that was by Bostock. Super try.

100% a try - not that it would’ve changed much tbh. I know the dolphins scored at the other end, even without that they were far too good tonight. Katoa is a serious player

 

[Burgey]

Yeah Katoa is the future of the game imo. As good a young half as you could wish to see

Some lovely tries by the Warriors tonight. Hope they can hold on.

 

[Kraken]

Always wonderful to see Scumulla get properly pounded on their home patch #littlebrotheralways

 

[ashley bach]

Ok gonna finally say it...

I BELIEVE

I loved the way they just got better and better in the second half - a stark contrast to the leads they blew last year.

SJ just said it's the most complete win he's ever seen from the Warriors. That's gotta mean something.
