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).

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 .

jesus the Storm upset Sydney league fans. They just fucking hate them.
You would think there was only one team in the comp who wrestle in the tackle.
The Storm actually play a handy style of league, they are certainly not scared to chuck it around, and always have attacking backs. Not that any Sydney fan would say that.
I personally have no love for them, probably because they are there or thereabouts every fucking year. But damn if i don't respect how professional they are.

@mariner4life Tigers are the new St George though, they did it last season too. Start the season with a hiss and a roar only to fall away as the season progresses. I would rather face a South Sydney or Sydney City in the first two rounds, just cut your teeth early on.
Real sad news about Brett Dallas. The former 90s try-scoring machine is in a downward spiral.
