Lets go Warriors bingo fans.
  • Looking for the refs to square up the narrative by penalizing innocuous high shots only to get carried away and favour the Bulldogs with an 8-1 penalty count.
  • Someone will run their head at Marata's shoulder and get him binned.
  • Leka will get coached by the ref the whole game about pushing up at marker.
  • Not a single pass from dummy half will get called forward.
  • Random Roll-Ball penalty in the last 20 to kill the fightback momentum
  • Taine's kick returns will get called surrender tackles killing any PTB momentum.
  • Dogs lie all over the ruck. Ref gets mad at Ford for milking.
  • Dal goes for a stupidly late offload and nobody is ready, losing possession.
  • Rog drops one cold.
  • Crichton gets away with a stiff arm to the head.
  • Dogs score from long range by punching in behind the ruck.
  • Kikau scores by using Boyd as a speed bump.
Please let me know if there are any other injustices I've missed.
 
Warriors 12 and under in a tight one.
Possibly
It's going to be a big ask. We need to hold on to the ball if it's wet and complete our sets and tackle everything that moves.
And be good enough to take Adam Gee and the bunker out of the equation

Dont forget all the grubby shit and forward passes...
Plus Galvin will be set up to get the winning try .... the orchestrated fairy tale ending...
 
Do they have a word in German for when your so sure something bad is going to happen you just accept the inevitable?

Forwards are good enough to keep it close, until the “game management” kicks in
I hope we come hungry and then I think our forwards are actually good enough to dominate, especially in the wet.

Time for Healey and Boyd to show their grade chops. I
