They changed it so that the attacking team benefits from a penalty when coming out of their own end. Stopped everyone giving away a 6 agains at the beginning of those sets

So what's "coming out of their own end"? Anywhere in their half?

Good question! I was hiding the fact I didn't precisely know the answer by using that language.

God the historical bagging of him to cover up for abysmal coaching and structure is looking more farcical by the day.
1000%

We’d be infinitely a better team with him still at the back rather than Savage who was “fast”
You know I love CNK. But he was certainly struggling returning from injury.

The real travesty is that this year we had neither at the back!

It's 40 metres
Inside your own 40, it's a penalty, outside of that it's 6 again

The offloads the Warriors are allowing is ridiculous. They’re just not aiming up in defence.

Unless you’re smart enough to turn it immediately into an error and get a penalty anywhere*

If I were to ever stop being a Raiders fan, it would be because of watching a game like this. Rugby League really can be an exciting game to watch.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

If Brisbane can't defend the Warriors, I think Penrith will win comfortably. They run the same shapes stripping numbers and they'll do it better. And they'll aim up much better in defence than the wahs

Interesting how the Warriors decoys run at almost a 45 degree angle back into the line. It’s not technique I’ve seen very often, but it’s very effective for Johnson and CNK.

I noticed there was a growing trend on socials to bag Walsh's errors and defence. I imagine they're very quiet now
