Round 17: Dolphins vs Warriors

Herbie and Fin are menacing them. Kodi with some good ball-playing.
 
Warriors are missing a bit in attack with the guys they have out but their defence has been very good. Then again, give us a cm and we are 3 tries up.
 
Really good game so far. Have to make them pay for any mistakes because they don't make many.
 
If we go 8 ahead early we might pull away and put on a decent score.
 
Ever since that unbelievable Herbie no try, we have been under the pump. Even if we win from here, Woolf needs to tee off in the press conference. Broncos or Roosters or Storm or Penrith don't get those no-trys in important games.
 
Better team won. Actually we deserved to win by more. Cobbo........ scored a couple of tries only he scores in the form he is in and made a few mistakes only the worst wingers would make.

3. Kodi

1. Donoghue

1. Plath. I had to go with Plath or Donoghue. Can't separate them but Plath has played a lot of football this year and perhaps hasn't gotten the wraps of Herbie, Finefuiaki and others so I'll give him a point today.

Always seems to be the way with Warriors getting biased bunker calls it happens every single week what about the knock on into Drinkwater last week for a try. The one against Lemuelu was horrendous and no surprise it favours Warriors.

Can't disagree with that all four of them sensational Donoghoe adds a lot of class and toughness to the pack rolled into one. Plath was immense today in the middle and Nikorima just keeps on rolling on. What makes Herbie such a standout is his willingness to chase the ball and chase the game when the team needs something he'll go find the football to change momentum. Donoghoe does that a lot with defence he'll push the boundaries.

Other than one poor kick I think Schneider deserves a wrap and I'm happier to have him as the Nikorima-Katoa backup than Williams any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Dolphins best win of the season in the absolute box office game of the season. It shouldn't have got to 26-24 due to the Lemuelu-Farnworth decision but Dolphins showed immense character to win that when it looked like after 20mins being down 12-4, two tries disallowed due to try saves that don't happen any other game or week, losing Katoa and having Cobbo off for HIA and still finding a way to win.

I thought Schneider was pretty poor but didn't say anything because he is merely a back up halfback. Shouldn't expect too much of him.
 
On form this year, seems we have the second and third best QLD fullbacks.
  1. Ponga
  2. Hammer
  3. Fuller
  4. Walsh
 
Tremendous win for us today but watching the Cowboys-Panthers game, which Cowboys look like winning, the premiership race this year is wide open. Us, Penrith and Warriors of course are getting a lot of attention but Roosters are a team which worries me and Cowboys are more than capable. Then there is the Melbourne-manly game coming up. If Melbourne win again, it's time to start taking them serious.

Not so worried about Manly. They have overachieved in my view.
