Re: Warriors Win
Just got back. Well done the lads, looked pretty impressive for an opening game. the pack was excellent all round, and Moran & Orr looked good together.
Superb defence, the only times they made any yards against us was with Klein's bizarre penalty decisions. Considering the conditions, good ball handling too. Moran got voted MOM by the fans (that new text voting), but difficult to pick one really from a good all-round performance. I'd have gone for Lockers personally, but wouldn't argue with Moran, Tickle or Scully.
Crowd singing "there's only one decent Sculthorpe" at the end was nice, when he was really getting stuck in!
All-in-all, a good win in what could easily have been one of those "banana skin" games.

although I thought it was Scully, not Newton, who offloaded for Moran's try

Re: Warriors Win
bit of a sloppy game but at least we won. I feel the half backs played well and so did the front row. All the rest had a bit of a rusty game. I was just wondering what did SeuSeu get placed on report for?

Re: Warriors Win
Knees up in the tackle I think.
Re: Warriors Win
I have a rather different perspective on the game than that. I thought Moran was fairly impressive, he added a much better kicking game than we had last season. O'Loughlin also looked good but I thought Sculthorpe was our best player, seems their tactic of winding him up only brought the best out of us.
In a game like this we should have made it comfortable all the way through, but instead we made hard work of it. It started off well but with the amount of pressure we put on them in the first half we should have been 18 nil up by half time, if not more. It didn't fill me with any confidence when after just 50 minutes we drop a goal because we couldn't score a try. Then they got back in it with a try. We then had to put up with a bit of pressure before kicking a penalty and then the try.
Seuseu was good running forward but there were no offloads and he was a liability for giving away penalties. As for Vaealiki he didn't have a good game, he looked sluggish running (perhaps injured?) and his attempted palm offs were laughable.
All in all I'd say it was very disappointing, we only had a respectable result because they were poor, next week and especially the week after we need to improve an AWFUL lot.

Re: Warriors Win
When you have all that possession you need to do something with it. We didn't, nothing to do with the pitch or weather, I didn't think handling was particularly bad, there were one or two handling errors but nowt too bad. If we were playing a top team tonight we'd have been torn to shreds.warrior till i die posted:

Re: Warriors Win
I'm just happy with the win - we did what we needed to do in the conditions, it wasn't the place for flowing back moves, just slug it out up front. Our pack beat theirs hands down. I thought Jerry jerry jerry did ok, apart from the penalties, one good offload near the end that Moran could have taken and would have scored.
Good crowd too. 13.5k and Salford didn't bring many.
