2 weeks works for me.

Cleary to receive 3-5 weeks. According to the biased Fox Sports commentary.

A win is a win

1st half discipline bad. NAS seemed almost too fired up.

Attack better. We seemed to hold our own on go forward in the middle which is decent considering the Warriors have a decent pack.

Meaney injury would be bad if it is a season ender.

Move on. Gold Coast at H then maybe some hope playing Penrith without their regular halves.

We had lost that winning feeling and it’s nice to have it back…

Last time Jesse and Josh King got over 100 metres was round 9 v the Dragons.

It is the 4th time Tui has over 100 metres in 10 games this season. (His first game was round 10 v Panthers).

NAS has had over 100 metres in 13 of his 17 games.

I know it sucks that we copped yet another backline injury last night, but gee Munster looked good at the back. Seemed to enjoy having the time and space that fullback has compared to what he normally has to work with.

Who plays 5/8 is the question? Johns, Nikorima, Wishart or Olam even?

Looks like NAS and King not charged? Not on the charge sheet on NRL site but Frei of the warriors is.

Cleary 5-6 weeks.

Good news for us. In saying that though we really need NAS to calm down on the field.

Serious question here, if no forwards are hurt/ suspended after last night, should we pick Brandon Smith this week or make him play reserves as a wake up?

Nah, at this point, I think the focus needs to be on getting our best side onto the field and give them as much time as possible to get their combinations firing ahead of the finals. If we didn't drop under performers over the last month, I don't see the point in punishing a bloke who's already been punished.

Mattpoet, I think Brandon Smith doesn't strike me as a person capable of self examination so a think a spell in the Q cup would be a waste of time. Another question to consider is if Meaney is out, who takes over Goal kicking?

I'm assuming we're stuck with Munster but I'm hoping someone else stands up and takes the role. Johns kicks a little and I think Anderson might too. Can Hughes kick goals? I feel like Kenny would go ok too. Not sold on Munster though, he's very hit and miss.

I seem to remember Harry Grant kicking goals or I have got that wrong.

You're partially correct, he's 0 for 3
