Smorgasbord posted:Considering some of the embarrassing performances from the Warriors this season we're quite nicely placed with a good run home too. We're doing our usual trick of taking advantage of the Origin period, with help from a relatively soft schedule from this point on. If Johnson stays healthy and we can minimise McFadden's fuckups (such as picking Wright over Lolohea), we'll be a team that nobody wants to face in September.

Its a shame RTS had a season ending injury, because I would have liked to see the impact his presence would have on the Warriors, especially into the finals. He's only 21/22 though so plenty more seasons to come from him.

In the idiocy news, Dylan Walker apparently punched a door and broke his hand. He'll be out for a month: http://www.seaeagles.com.au/news/2016/07/11/statement_on_dylan_w.af_news.html

Hayne will suck up all of that cap space then you're back to the same one man team that missed the finals most years 2006ish-2014.

Hayne will suck up all of that cap space then you're back to the same one man team that missed the finals most years 2006ish-2014. We've only lost three games since the roster was cut - the first by 2 points to the Rabbits and the other two to the top two teams on the ladder. And once again, the roster was legal this year. The penalties were due to prior years' cap rorting. And even with a severely depleted roster and every reason to throw in the towel we have still been a better team than 3/4's of the competition. Foran needed to go get his head sorted out, it's better for everyone that he's left. Norman is staying by all accounts. Hayne is coming back, and we've still got one of the best coaches in the game. Sorry for being optimistic about my team, but for all the poo poo that has happened this year we could have been in a hell of a worse place by now.

Look, you can prove anything with facts. Let him have his delusion; we all come to this support group to shelter from the realities of our teams. My personal delusion is that at some point the Tigers will get back in the finals without clearing house. Such a pleasant daydream...

Hey the Leeds Rhinos, still firmly in last place, beat the league leaders Hull the other day. I caught the game on replay and I must say I had forgotten what it was like to watch a RL game without wanting to drink myself to oblivion afterward.

Origin is obviously the best time to learn a new position. Combine that with NSW's ability to gently caress up the selections at 6 and 7, we could be in for some fun tonight.Vagabundo posted:Welp, Corey Norman's been convicted. I'm looking forward to the punishment the NRL dishes out for this. An actual conviction is more than they had on several other fuckwits that have been sent packing.
