The Mighty Warriors - Fever League Fred
I just noticed something. The Warriors last game is away to the Eels. This is exactly the same fixture as in 08 when we were neck and neck with making the finals going into the final round. Could be a good omen.
Good to see the boys get back on track. Nice win. 
and at the right time of the season, we need two more to get into the 8, but if we win all remaining it could be a home semi!
so bloody tight in the 8. 3 teams on 26 and like 4 on 28
Just remember we did play the sharks
Yeah but we usually never win in Cronulla.
And a game against a weak side like Cronulla is just the sort of game I'd expect us to bottle. S

Tbf we haven't been playing to badly over in Australia.
Vatuvei vs Uate.
Vatuvei 2 Uate 0
Vatuvei 2 Uate 0
haha yeap that last try was decent bring on the 2nd 40!!
And the BEAST tackles Uate from behind and he looses the ball
That's 3 for the beast
Good game by the warriors.
manu the beast, jeez he was epic
and by golly hasn't he improved under the high ball
Was I the only one who thought his English after the game is so much better than it use to be lol, I remember when his English wasn't the best.
and by golly hasn't he improved under the high ball
well it wasnt hard to get better lol but he has been fantastic under the ball, a true leader who gives those around him confidence
and yea he does seem a little better in front of the camera
Dunno if any of you guys follow the UK league, but the older brother of the Bunnie's Sam Burgess had a nasty head clash in a tackle.

On his twitter account, he has been posting pictures of the damage. Broke his jaw in 2 places. The one he took in the ambulance is nasty

One year contract extension for Lillyman, not sure if he is worth it.

Jake's been going alright. Good move to re-sign him.
Not worth it at all.
We have no room for 'journeyman' forwards these days.
I would have preferred giving a contract to a young up and comer from the TC cup or Vulcans.
How Lillyman ever played 4 SOO games I will never understand.
No, im not a Lillyman fan. Too much of what we already have in the back row department.
The guy who I was really disappointed they let go, though its probably understandable, is Likiliki (no idea how you spell his name). Hes gone to the Knights which for him is a wise move given what will be in front of him in the centres next year but its a shame for us because he is such an immense talent.
Interested to see how Mara goes if he gets a run this weekend, always loved watching him for the 20s. Hopefully he can reproduce some of that at Senior level.
I strongly suspect, and all the signs indicate, that he'll probably be used as a prop next season.
Should some good form over the last few games after a long injury lay-off. Useful man to have in the squad.
As for Mara. I'd be surprised if he plays on Saturday. He did look good for the U20s but he's not exactly been on fire with the Vulcans this season. He's been solid rather than spectacular when I've seen him. He's had a few injuries which haven't helped.

We need a bullocking prop next year.
Someone who can break the line regularly with a decent offload where appropriate.
That isn't Lillymans game.
He is a utility back at best IMO.
I'd think that now Jake has signed an extension to his contract, we might have given up the hunt for a prop. We had been looking for one.
We'll be pretty well served for backrowers next season.
I've already renewed my season ticket for next year, God help me!. Happy days.

Thats a real shame if they have.

Presumably Rapira is one of your starters with Packer and Royal fighting for the other spot. Latimore still floats around somewhere and they see Matulino as a prop now to (don't get me started on how they have coached the flair out of him) so Lillyman for my mind would sit behind all of those guys. Maybe Cleary likes him, and he does tend to like this kind of forward.
They must still have a fair chunk of cash sitting around that they didn't spend on Matai.
Royal's heading back to Australia at the end of the season, from all accounts.
I think Lillyman will be coming off the bench as a prop.
Agree with you on Ben M having those offloads coached out of him, but I think he's gone quite well this year.
Royal's heading back to Australia at the end of the season, from all accounts.
Oh thats a shame re Royal, he was developing nicely into a decent player.

I wonder if they are saving up the pennies to re-sign Manu. When are Jerome and Simon off-contract?
Please god let them re-sign Manu.
wouldn't worry me if Jerome and Mannering went.

Yup, I've got a lot of time for Jesse. Helluva nice bloke,as well.
Simon and Jerome are contracted till the end of 2012
Word is that Ian Henderson has signed with the Catalans Dragins, so Mara might have a shot next season.

Its times like this that I do miss Sonny Vai.
He would have been a true great at the club.

Yeah, it would be interesting. I've been to various events up here and spoken to some of the players and Wayne Scurrah and, while it wasn't really spoken about, reading between the lines it had a huge effect on everybody.
i think steve price especially took it very hard
