Warriors vs Faders could be the biggest mismatch of the tournament.

Taylor has done his calf. Handy.

Hearing it's just a cork.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Great try Warriors

Tomkins is the size of a small boy.

He looks very English surrounded by these Kiwis haha

 

[Alec]

Fish try was awesome.

 

[Ari Gold]

How good is SJ!

 

[Kimlo]

SJ is so fucking lethal with the ball. Great run and pass from Tomkins to get him there.

I'm enjoying this 9's concept, it's good entertainment.

 

[Alec]

Gotta say, Johson/Tomkins combo could be Thurston/Bowen level of exciting this season.

I agree. I love watching the Warriors. They're just an exciting team to watch, I reckon they'll be hardest to beat in the 9s

 

[Big Pete]

Shame they've got Elliott as a coach.

It'll be better imo.

 

[Kimlo]

That's true, but gee they're good fun.

SJ just gets a drop kick from the sideline, wow.

 

[Big Pete]

Well, one of the reasons why the Bowen/JT combo was so effective was because they had a dynamic #9 in Payne keeping the ruck honest.

I don't know if Friend Sr can play that style anymore and I don't know if the Warriors have anybody coming through who can either.

 

[Alec]

Chip kicks and grubbers should be the go to kicks with no fullback most of the time.

How did Brad Fittler go in his 1st game? I haven't seen any action yet I just got up an hour ago LOL

Apart from 1 or 2 decent passes, he was a passenger.
