First 15 was an arm wrestle, then on the back of the Edwards break we have got well on top.

Gee I would hate to coach against us the way we are playing this year. We keep this up and no team in the comp could beat us.

Edwards, Milky, To’o, Yeo, Kenny, wow 10/10 from those guys - not to take anything away from the rest of the team who are also playing out of their skins.

Let’s really put the sword to these chooks in the second half

Another thorough performance. It’s scary what we could do to the weaker sides if we keep playing like this.

Panthers were on top of the table until an inept knights team handed warriors the game. And a brain explosion at the end handed warriors the try to help them jump Panthers.

Great performance across the park.

Apart from any early rorters try following a series of ‘guess-agains’ we showed total domination.

Good signs for the season ahead :paw_prints: :paw_prints:

I watched the replays of the first 2 rounds. While they were both good wins, not as clinical as round 3. The only concern in round 3 was Mclean as a turnstile at the start of the game. Hope they work on that this week.
