The Warriors

No, not the Pies, the ones from Auckland!

Beat Cleary and Co, in an awesome contest!

Defo a nervy few minutes as Penrith scored twice (and nearly thrice!) to show what quality they possess, but a late try sealed it for us.

Good start to the weekend for yours truly, with all three Swinton teams in action, still to come. It's the wheelchair tonight, hosting Wire then tomorrow, and Sunday, the guys and gals are away to the Pinks, but meantime............

It's Easts v the 'Dogs!

Yes , a good game. Warriors played really well for 65 minutes, then let Penrith come back, mainly down to Cleary. It’s a good job they had their try disallowed with 7 minutes left, or it would have been a very nervy time for the Warriors. 
Thankfully they held on before scoring themselves in the last 2 minutes.

The Aussie matches are usually a lot better than the SL ones, and the commentators are lots better, they make it sound exciting, a lot of the Sky ones are talking about what happened last week, while someone is scoring a try.

Watching the wrong warriors

Wigan are worth watching above all, reminds me of our 1980's team as they are that good.

So you think Wigan are a better team than NewZealand Warriors?

Have you watched any of the warriors matches this season? 
And also don’t forget to take into account, the opposition Wigan are playing, most of the opposing teams in the NRL are of a really high standard whereas in SL there a lot of average or poor teams.

Made the mistake of watching Hudds v Cats on Saturday afternoon. Apart from the top 6, the standard of SL is dross.
