Just saw that. I HATE Manly so good news.
Damn, that's un Warriors like composure to win at the death (as opposed to helter skelter tries) - season of GLORY!!!!
I was bloody impressed they went the length of the field twice to reach drop goal range. Fitness trainer should be highest paid dude at the club!!

Exactly what I was thinking. We are super conditioned at the moment, the raiders were gassed and we looked strong right to the end. Luke looking like the player we thought we bought. When he irons out the stupid penalties Blair can be a menace. The young warriors forwards stood up; Bunty and Lisone were immense. Blake Green is the guy pulling the strings letting Shaun be Shaun. It was a total performance, anytime Kata is quietly doing his thing error free I'm happy. Who knows where this will lead but the Warriors have my attention again. Simon Mannering must be dying to get back in
The seats on this train are rather comfy!
In a 'never been done before' I watched the replay after the Ed Sheeran concert. (Even though I knew the outcome) That last ten minutes was perfect.
Adam Blair is a bafoon!

By the same token, how out on their feet were Canberrra? There was one of those play-the-balls during that final set where our ball-runner was a bit ponderous, but their defence was so slow getting off the mark, he made 15-18 crucial metres.
Plus we still seemed to fight in the tackle, all those extra metres add up! How good is it to be the fit team! 🖒
@paekakboyz Afoa has been excellent there. he eats a further 3-5 metres with 2 guys in his back.
Why aren't we talking bout Manly lads 
can't wait to see where this rort investigation leads. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch if piston wristed gibbons imo
@paekakboyz and yet the Roosters sign whoever they want every year, and sail on their merry way.
What a champion bunch of blokes, playing for unders
@mariner4life totes bro - Roosters are pretty much a charity team 
Funny parallels with the cricket stuff aye. One of those 'rules' that nearly everyone has pushed (or headbutted) over the years, but one that is increasingly coping more attention and harsher punishment, as tolerance for that sort of carry on drops.
They must have utterly labyrinthine systems for accounting for the salary cap - which just makes the 'accidental overspend' claims easier to put forward.
@paekakboyz can you imagine how lenient they'd be on the Warriors if they were rorting the salary cap....
@taniwharugby I know! although I do think we have a (weak) case, that being the only NZ based team, a bit more $$ is needed to offset the talent that doesn't want to move out of Oz. But that's highly unlikely... hmmm thinking about that more the Cowboys could play the same game! Open season on banter about playing in a shitty part of Oz
No matter how fucked the system is - it needs to be the same for all. Don't play by the rules? you get smacked. End of.
But is the system to readily rort-able?? or is it that teams will cheat no matter what?? I think it's the latter!!!

Isn't the guy who' was CEO at Manly during their salary cap rort now the CEO of Sydney Roosters?

yes, yes he is. Delicious. He would have thought he was in the clear having moved to Bondi
Fuck that is gold. Something coming to roost their buddy??
He must be sweating bullets, or is confident he's improved his account 'skills' since he arrived!
@paekakboyz Hes at the Roosters now. They'll likely take the money for the fine from Manly and give it to him to use at the Roosters.
Aw @raznomore c'mon bro, I said Roost and everything 
ha ha, far too obtuse! I meant he's at the Roosters now, so if he's doing the same shit I hope he's got better at hiding it!
Speaking of the soon-to-be exposed salary cap rorting Roosters, the Warriors will play them this Saturday. Sam Lisone is suspended after striking a Raiders forward in the final minutes of that game and Adam Blair moves to lock.

Good news warriors fans! I stuck an 8-game NRL multi on this weekend. And after 3 games i am 0-3.
Why good news? I picked the Roosters.
No Johnson and Gavet according to reports.
SJ obviously got injured in sympathy for Cullen.
Fuck!
I'm in an alternative reality.
Shortly the second cup of coffee will taste even better than the first. And people called Smith will begin replicating at near light speed.
I accidentally saw the result somewhere else, I should've stayed offline. Looking forward to seeing the game after the Blues' effort.
The Warriors have more jerseys than the Oregon football team.
Correct, but this version are looking like they know how to play league. They can have a different jersey every week if they desire, so long as they keep winning.
If they hadn’t already been noticed they sure as shit have now, having beaten the capless Roosters.
That kind of shit just isn’t supposed to happen.
