Round 9 New Zealand vs Easts @ Mt Smart

Warriors have been so much better with Foran in the side. Even though they're 2 from 4 with him, they've been extremely competitive against tough competition, away from home.

I think they'll really push Easts in this one, back at home. Then again, it is the Warriors. lol.

 

Ferguson and Manu. Wtf was that? Not a good start for the right side.

 

Foran straightening the attack. Makes such a difference.

 

Both sides defending like mush through the middle.

 

That's a ridiculous call from Klein. Clear penalty. JWH was all over him.

 

lol is that a shoulder charge? Are you fucking kidding me Halligan?

These commentators are getting so soft. Voss is the worst. These two idiots aren't far behind.

 

Really good play from the Warriors. Nicely controlled, solid defence on the edges, and finishing their sets with tactical kicks.

 

Big turnaround there. Johnson crabbing again throws a poor pass, and then the poor effort from Hoffman. Nice work from Manu. Roosters hit back against the run of play.

 

Wow. That's a massive effort from RTS to get back in the field of play. Close to half-time, big play.

 

Jeez that's a big call from Klein. I'm okay with it.

Huge few minutes from Johnson. Strips the ball, sets up the try and kicks a very important conversion to make it 8, just before half time.

 

70 odd more tackles for the Chooks in one half. They do have the wind in the second 40 but a short turnaround from a brutal Anzac Day game, that heavy workload could tell, late.

 

Wow. Uncharacteristic from Johnson. Usually so deadly against a staggered, retreating line. Pretty much a bombed try there. Roosters were at 6's and 7's.

 

That's idiotic. Surely a pass off the ground.

 

lol that's some downright Rugby Union shit there. Two bombed tries could cost the Bros.

 

Um, why is that not a penalty to the Roosters? Passing off the ground is an infringement. Chooks can't buy a penalty.

 

Johnson is single-handedly losing the Warriors this game.

 

That's two tries against the run of play that Johnson has cost his side. As well as the one he butchered.
