Issac Luke returns to the starting hooker role while Roache misses out on a bench spot for Warriors V Tigers.

Warriors up against it, too many errors, down 12-0 in rainy conditions at halftime

canefan

Warriors bounce back with a fine try by Maumolo, despite Ashley Klein going upstairs calling it no try. Keighran kicks the sideline conversion

canefan

A rash of errors, dubious penalties and the warriors drop deeper into the mire, 18-6

Warriors of old are playing, far far too many dropsies, and a lot of them hot on attack.

Yup. It's a reality check after last week. Parra pumping the dogs tonight might put that result in better perspective

Well that was a crash back to earth game.

Warriors were penalised out of the game in the first half and never got back into it. Wests look like they're well coached while Robbie Farah is playing like he did 10 years ago.

Probably should have kept Roache on the bench (and drop Papali'i) until Luke gets back into it (Luke should have played in the NSW Cup this week tbh).

fuck, going to need all of us to flush our dunny's after that game. 3, 2, 1...

I thought he was simply dropped. That guy is plagued by the injury bug.

That's the Warriors we know and love. For an added bonus Kata seems to have infected Fusitua with defensive readitis.

The Warriors assistant coach said he picked up a calf strain at the last minute. He was meant to start so Luke had to jump in. At least their decision was sound before the injury

This is why I would shift the back up hooker role to Karl Lawton instead. Roache just cannot stay healthy enough to rely on him during an entire season.

It would appear he is made of glass, which is a shame

Just came up against a better team. No reason you can't make the finals.

Farrah and Benji were on fire. I'm sure all the Warriors old boys enjoyed that one, we just have to hold serve in Auckland

Cowboys also got thrashed this weekend and now lose Jason Taumalolo for up to 10 weeks. Ouch.

and they were putrid doing it too. Pangai Jnr got in to their forwards, JT did his knee early doors, and they had fucking nothing. Morgan was invisible, TMM tried, Granville offered nothing, because their vaunted forward pack got rinsed. The Broncos halves even kicked well. Massively one-sided game.

Did you see your boy Jimmy Maloney defend on the weekend? Probably won Penrith the game with his tackling. Unheard of.

Have to say the Storm are looking pretty good with an ageing Smith , and no Slater and cronk ,

Maybe this Bellamy fella can coach .
