I'm pretty happy with that tigers performance. With a patched together side we put on 28 in a half, and literally only let any points in through stupid passes or mistakes from the other end of the field. If Taylor can iron out the dumb penalties and passes when they're not needed we might actually challenge for the eight.

The warriors, though. Wow. That was about as garbage a game as I've ever seen. You wonder if they'll take a bad lesson from their comeback and not learn from their horrific mistakes.

I'd say that if he hadn't looked like a million dollars when he came on in the trial against the sharks.

Adam is a wonderful example of how a player should go about his business in the NRL

As predicted, poo poo embarrassing loss to a terrible Tigers team. We basically always lose our first 3 anyway but even so what a disappointing effort. Mannering & Thompson were good but that's about it. Hopeless in all facets, what the gently caress were we doing all offseason?

Yeah. What the gently caress? Edge defence was a priority, and people were talking up Justin Morgan, and we looked just as bad as last year. McFadden can gently caress off now.

The Knights just have no ability to hold the ball or mark up in defence. The weather hasn't helped, but they've been so terrible I'm concerned what they'd look like in the dry.

WOW the Roosters shat the bed on that. However, they always lose badly to Souths in the opening round, and meanwhile Souths got two big injuries out of it for their trouble.

But seriously they really looked poo poo, and to be honest, basically everyone did this weekend.

Hey, if you only look at the first 45 minutes and the last ten of our game we looked like we're going to win the whole thing (please ignore the other 25 minutes where we completely shat the bed).

I knew at half time that the dream form we'd had in the first half would dissipate, and I was getting more and more drunk and angry as we set about torching our good start. Thank god that we remembered how to grind out the result, eventually. I was very impressed with the pressure of our defence, especially in the final section of the game - if we can get rid of the panic we showed in the first 30 minutes of the second half we'll finish a long way above our predicted wooden spoon.

I dunno, the Warriors will be stinging from their last game and wanting to make amends. And if their forwards can bully our smaller pack Luke Johnson and Sheck can really take advantage of it, Sheck in particular I think carved us up last year.

So hopefully they want Cappy gone and play like poo poo.
