Credit where credit is due - well done Warriors. That was an impressive performance to beat the Broncos last night.
Yes, the visitors were under-strength and missing key personnel on rep duty but you can only beat what is put in front of you and the Warriors did that in convincing fashion.
The game serves as the best example yet of why the much-talked about spine is not the major issue for this club. They might have some issues turning in strong performances when they don't have a platform up front but if they get parity or better in the middle third of the park, they have the ability to cut teams to pieces, as we saw last night.
It comes as no surprise that Shaun Johnson ran effectively last night, that Issac Luke darted out of dummy half and kicked from the position or that the team's offloading was up on recent weeks. They earned those things. That is what this sport is all about - earning the right to do the flashy stuff.
Last night's win came because they dominated the ruck. They made good yardage and got quicker play-the-balls than their opposition. Everything else flowed off the back of it - Johnson's running and direction, the ball movement, the sweeping back-line plays etc were all possible because they were getting better ball than the Broncos were.
