There is literally a poll at the top of the page to choose the result. I don't see anyone death riding the team. I see people posting what they think and like it or not, while there is always a chance we can win, the odds are against us and there are very good reasons for that.. And like it or not, it is a fan site and those fans have differing opinions. And I would also disagree with your rugby league analysis web site comment. There are a number of very good, knowledgeable, analytical posters on this site that contribute great analysis and insight. If you want 100% 'ra ra we are awesome' then this site is probably going to disappoint you. I'll leave it there. Enjoy the game. I hope we can pull a rabbit out of the hat and win.
As long as you are wearing more than just a Warriors Hawaiian shirt like @Wrighty otherwise we will get a real indication of how up for it you are today
I've said it before, this is the most open top 8 I have seen. We have a real chance of doing something IF we can get our shit sorted. The last 10 weeks form is a real concern. But imagine if we somehow get past the Panthers. We would then play the Dogs less their inspirational Captain.
You are right, it'll be tears either way. Joy if we win, sorrow for an opportunity missed if we lose

We have IMHO lowest rank FB in the FG ,,,,no way can you compete when you don't have class at the back sadly CNK is a good back-up but NSW player these days ...Raiders got his best years when he had speed..personal have RTS over him on current form adds more footy smarts and a step

Not even a cheeky leg on a Warriors try scorer, gummon bro have at least a little faith
No need to apologise mate. We all have our own opinions. Like everyone on this site, I just want us to win but going on current results, form etc it's hard to see how. As I said I'll humbly eat my words somehow if we can win tonight.
Yeah I agree. Over a course of a season I think we need better. BUT,.... This is now a do or die game and those rankings don't carry the same weight for me, particularly if the whole team steps up a notch. My bigger concern is that to compensate for a workhorse yardage fullback we need creativity elsewhere in the spine. We don't really have that.We have IMHO lowest rank FB in the FG ,,,,no way can you compete when you don't have class at the back sadly CNK is a good back-up but NSW player these days ...Raiders got his best years when he had speed..personal have RTS over him on current form adds more footy smarts and a step

Probably have four off injured in the first quarter....
If we can get over the Panthers today we get to play the Bulldogs without Crichton and possibly some others for a spot in a prelim.
This is a massive game. Can't wait!!
This is a massive game. Can't wait!!
From what ive seen its usually the loudest before a game "ra ra" types that turn on the team and players the harshest when expectations dont go to plan.
Cautious types tend to have more of an even keel.
Would i put my house on us.....fuck no.
But fuck it, they've got 2 arms 2 legs and shit just like us, nothin to lose.....leave nothing in the tank fellas!
Tbh the fairytale is on. Dogs going down, sexton v Galvin, Critta roadkill.
Us v Raiders GF still on!
Us v Raiders GF still on!

Or a class kicker ... watching the DOGS/STORM game some impressive kicking game from their halves..are kicking game BOMBs away and hope and many times have no one competing as they are TOOO SLOW..
Panthers going tear us a new one .. sadly was always going happen, going off the last several games we have played well above player skill levels ... Metcalf magic gone ..players like CNK/DWZ should have been off to super league after last season as they aren't FG levels sadly ..like really how many of our backs would any of the other TOP8 teams take over what they have or even the phins ? Metcalf ?
Still WAHs did far better than most of us thought they would this season making the 8 with the roster and injuries is a B+ for me so overall something to build on going forward, add some key signings...
If only we could have the PHINS backs with Metcalf + our forwards(without injuries) at that would be a team that could compete for the COMP !!!

10.30am wake up
11am still drunk from last night
11.30am pie and coke
2pm team bus waiting for drunk player to arrive
2.30pm bus leaves without drunk player
4.02pm Drunk player is now only hungover and turns up escorted by stadium security to sheds.
4.04pm Borrows someone's spare boots and plays a blinder.
5.40pm Interviewed by Darren Lockyer and says preparation was good all week and all credit goes to the boys.
5.50pm resumes drinking

I really think we CAN. It's up to the team whether or not that happens.
Not sure the way the playoffs are structured we would get to play the raiders in the final unless they lose this weekend
Here is the a schematic
I can hope. TBH its actual perfect for us. We complain about Webbys conservative gameplan, but we arent going to beat Penrith by just chucking the pill around non stop.
If we go set for set, pressure Cleary and limit our mistakes, we have a chance to beat them.
Warriors are my team, I'm not going to abandon them now.
