The Warriors on the weekend were impressive how they shut Melbourne down. They took a leaf from the Manly book and got physical with melbourne. melbourne never had a hope because they were always in their end of the field, not through penalties or errors, but through the fact they couldnt slow the play the ball down, and were making 30-40m per set as opposed to 50-60m a set from Warriors. The way they played should have the eagles worried.
There is a massive ray of sunshine though..... the warriors had all the territory, but really struggled to put on points. They could not put melbourne away until the 78th minute, and sure it was a good play, but it took 40 minutes to muster up. Warriors wont keep Manly scoreless for 40 minutes, there is too much attack across the park.
Warriors are a little unpredictable, but this can be there undoing too, will they put 160 minutes of good football together in 2 weeks... Time will tell.
