Well the headline above has nothing to do with the Warriors emphatic win over the Knights, in fact its about apathetic fan reaction to the NBA betting scandal but I like it nonetheless.
NZ papers calling the 52-10 win a steamroll and the scoreline certainly backs that up.
Warriors have now got a 10 win 9 loss record which means they have a win percentage above 50%. Being a .500 team might not sound very impressive but if you cast your eye over the table below you will see Cleary Year II is now in pretty elite company when it comes to Warriors history. Anytime you get above 50% with a Warriors team you are doing very well, if Cleary can maintain it this will be only the 5th time in thirteen seasons the Warriors have ever finished a season with a positive win record.

Only five games left now - Warriors looking good with 22 points. Three more wins required for absolute saftey, Roosters up next, actually looks like a very tough match. Roosters are on fire since Fittler took the reins and I would be surprised if the Warriors can win it. After that Titans, Raiders, Sea Eagles and Panthers. Barring Manly we should win three of these games. So thats the recipe - lets see it happen!
