And their kick blockers was outrageous. They stacked blokes like it was a line of scrimmage, and they were moving about to impede defenders really obviously

Souffs to win, too creative, -many instinct players, to get through Pamffers Defence.
You don't think Storm are creative? They couldn't get through.

Penrith's defence is too good, can't see Souths getting through it.

Hate the chin nuts with a passion so really hope I'm wrong.

Only thing giving me hope is Penrith have now played two physically tough games in a row. That could come back to bite them or it could battle-harden them.

NRL Rd 24 - Warriors v Raiders

New Zealand Warriors fullback Reece Walsh has admitted to possession of cocaine.

It was first reported earlier this morning that Walsh was arrested overnight on the Gold Coast after failing to comply with a move-on order given by Queensland police.

It was then revealed that Walsh was being investigated for "drug and public order offences," with a Queensland police spokesperson confirming the news to this morning.

“At a quarter past midnight a 19-year-old man from Narang was issued a direction to move on from an area in Surfer Paradise,” a police spokeswoman said in a statement.

“Then at around 1am he had returned to the same area in an alleged contravention of the move on direction.

“As a result, the man was arrested and taken to the Surfers Paradise Police Station and assisted police with their enquiries.

“He was released a short time later and police are now investigating whether the man was involved in drug and public order offences. Investigations are continuing at the moment.”

It has now been revealed by Walsh himself that he was in possession of cocaine when arrested. He has reportedly been charged with one count of possession of prohibited substance, according to a Stuff.co.nz report and will front court next month.

Club CEO Cameron George also told the media Walsh would enter drug and alcohol counselling.

Walsh said no one else was involved.

"I was told by some officers last night to move on. I didn’t move on and that led to me getting arrested and taken back to the police station," Walsh told the media.

"Once I got back to the police station I was searched and I was in possession of a small bag of cocaine, which I had some of during the night.

"No one else is involved in this. It’s solely on me and I put my hand up. I should never have done it. It’s a mistake that I’ve made, I’m aware of that and I’m really remorseful."

The NRL integrity unit are investigating and are yet to comment.

The Storm coughed up way too much ball to build any pressure and by losing 2 middle forwards , did not have the energy to throw much at the Panthers who defended well .

If anyone can find a way through the Panthers defense and put on a few tries - it is Cody Walker who is amongst the best ball players that I have seen …

Yeah but to date Cody Walker has been a bit of a myth in big games, hopefully that changes.

That's the thing, they'll be buggered after the last game. I reckon they will struggle to keep up with Souths as the game goes on...
