Hmmmm.....the unbackable 60 minutes Warriors or the Origin weakened Broncos featuring the failed-at-Union cluster-f##K that is Benchy Marshall in the halves. Tuning into the ESL could be the go.

Good win by the Warriors against a depleted Broncos.
The Warriors showed glimpses of what they used to do and that was keep the ball alive and let it do the work rather than just rely on the muscle side of their play.
The Broncos even resorted to Psychology to try and win........Their jersey colour was enough to maker you sick
