Love a shut out to build our season. Well done Easts.

Great win. To keep the warriors to zero was outstanding effort at their home ground plus the fact we travelled!!

[The Lip]

Yeah that defence you can build a premiership run on.

[mightyrooster]

Great hard fought win. It is so good to have Sitili back and Collins was fantastic again. In fact all the forwards played well. Victor played really, really well after the crap he copped last week. To win over there in horrendous conditions without Jared and Toups was also huge.

[BraveTheWorld]

Thought that was a really good win, and never really in doubt. To be fair to the Warriors, they've got some important players out (as do we) but they are a quality side and never stop fighting. Our defense was extremely good and worked hard for the full 80.

I used to not be a very big fan of Sitili, but right before his ACL he was in blinding form and he has also come back strongly. He was huge today.

Shoutouts to Rads, Collins, Smith. Also thought Baker was strong in his stint. I also rate May and Whyte so it'll be interesting who locks down a long term spot.

Not really the type of game for Manu to shine, but the big body in defense at 6 helps. I also hugely prefer Keary's general play kicking (even though it's not great) to Walkers.

Our start to the season has been nowhere near as bad as some people make out. Building fairly well, I think.

[Noosa Rooster]

Great defensive effort, especially in those conditions. I’ll be interested to see the time in possession stat because it felt like we did a lot of defending.
Sitilli may be in trouble for a shoulder charge.
I thought the ref did alright. No howlers against us that I picked up and 2 incidents that I thought could have be against us were let go.

Special mention and shout out to the Butcher Brothers who quite a few on here don't rate nor want in the side - Thankfully Robbo picks the side

• N Butcher - 58 tackles - 0 Missed
• E Butcher - 53 tackles - 0 Missed

Angus certainly isn't himself. Missed heaps of training obviously but gee he looks lost at sea. Hopefully he comes good eventually

I like Egan. How's Nat, defensively solid, plenty of energy to tackle when you have 7 carries for 59m in 80min of footy. Nice tackling though

Agree but looked a lot better than last week.

some of his runs near the end were promising as he kept poking his nose through.

he will get there

Good stats

We won and Ray has gone missing. What a surprise!

Condolences on the win Ray. I’m sorry for your win.

He always takes time to ease into the season and get to his best.

[Thirteen]

What a ridiculous draw. We play Dragons and Panthers twice, 4 weeks apart, we’ve played Warriors twice but haven’t played Broncos Tigers Knights once.

Yes Mate the draw came out in November.

[Carlos Parra]

Hutcho got a line break!

And quickly got rounded up.
