What can you say about the Warriors last night?

66 points to 6. Absolutely inexplicable, almost impossible to explain.

The joint biggest defeat in the history of the club, equalling the loss to the Storm 2 years ago.

But that was against a team that was top of the comp against a comparatively weak Warriors side, during the COVID period.

Last night's defeat was to the team at the bottom of the NRL ladder, and a team that was pretty solid...

Nicoll-Klokstad
Tuivasa-Sheck
Pompey
Montoya
Johnson
Fonua-Blake
Egan
Ford
Harris

All there.

It's effectively the same group of players who finished in the top four last season. Try and make sense of that.

It's not terminal, obviously. Every game is only worth 2 points, but the nature of this might leave some scars and cast doubt into the minds of players and fans about whether this team is a top eight proposition.

There are 11 rounds to go, including 2 byes, so there's 4 points guaranteed. And the Warriors are just 3 points outside the 8, so it's certainly not the end of their season by any stretch

But man, do they have to make some changes quickly, before the Broncos hit town on Saturday fresh off their bye - and needing wins to make their own push into the top eight.

This is a huge test for Andrew Webster - the biggest of his time at the club for sure.
