Fox League’s Greg Alexander about the Newcastle Knights after just scoring to be 12-30 down:
“They’ve got to keep their foot on the Warriors’ throats”

Kalyn Ponga won’t return with a right hamstring injury & will go for scans - common mechanism sprinting + some forward bend (load through hamstrings while in a stretched position)
Tried to stay on initially but couldn’t keep going. Even a minor strain would have him at long odds to play in Round 3 - most are 2 weeks return to play at best.
Best case hope is a bad cramp, but considering high speed mechanism & how much it limited his function concern for much more than that.
@redlin000 Bang on🫡 Stats show/allude 🥛 given more latitude [by ref] at the ruck [normal in my 1👁 opinion]. Is a bloody cunning ploy, don't give the refs a reason. Agar💪🏼
Imagine if every team did the same ✅️
But re that penalty when milk got shaken back❌️
🔑 word ref-momentum🙄
It was fascinating last night to see the way we avoided infringements- noticeably dropped off tackled players quickly and let Canberra have a quick play the ball. Sometimes we struggled to get back but we were trusting in fitness.
We played expecting R1 officiating.
Nobody had the warriors in their 8 before the season started. We are a top 4 team and getting better. Teams are going to have to play well to beat us this year. So happy for Webster and everyone involved.
Reflecting on the Warriors win last night and I think the most remarkable aspect wasn't just the 40 points, but the fact they lost Capewell in the pre-game and CHT 10 mins in. Not many teams would deal with that in such a way that still allows them to score 40.
@samhewat Player/ employee interviews plus a dive into the business model & the financial sustainability of the club. Someone like Dan the man 🙏🏼
Otherwise as ya are lads .. I ❤️ it 💪🏼

Life is beautiful.
Extremely blessed that our second daughter has arrived in the world.
Came early, but after a few weeks in hospital, is doing great. As is my amazing wife.
