Post Match Canberra Raiders v NZ Warriors - [Round 2, 2026]

[Cces]

Healey was playing 6 when CNK was in HIA

He was everywhere

Healey was the guy who passed off the deck in the lead up to Leka's try, Boyd's 40/20, Boyd's try and also DWZ's try. Egan came back on to play 6

That cutout pass that lead to the try was sliiiiiiiiiiiick.

That cutout pass that lead to the try was sliiiiiiiiiiiick.

To be matched by one of the greatest barnstorming backrower runs I’ve seen in a looong time.

Fifita a shadow of himself and Katoa not playing, Leka is the form backrower of the comp.

I mean, I can't think of anybody in better form.... so you're probably right?

What about 2024 Tohu Harris?

Kinda like Boyd and Ford

And still essentially a bench player

And still essentially a bench player

Hopefully he gets more starts

 

[Gods_17]

To be fair he did choke a simple conversion and last week, right in front missed a penalty. That choke gene is still there hidden in the depths of his conscience

Yeah that was a "WTF moment" alright, Beast, but I'll take that and run with how he's guiding and helping Our Team Win. He cooked us twice as a titan, maybe thrice meh, And Now he looks comfortable fu(king comfortable at number 7 for Us (especially after CHT went down.)

Hmm, Leiataua got Shamed with their first (whispers* and only) try and then preceded to unleash his attack and the "Where TF has This defense been" defense like we ALL Know NOW he can display. He was quite Dominant after that hiccup, Hough!

Our boys played some good footy, Brilliant, last night very Very Proud!

So when, and we All do, you see anybody wearing OUR merch just nod in confidence sing Go the Warriors and Up the Wahs and have a Great fu(king Day haha!

 

[CWC]

Another cool thing was Healey was taking about 5 steps before he passed and then Boyd dropped the ball hot on attack cuz Healey basically made it a hospital pass by taking those steps.

Boyd just shook his head and ran back, then Healey started doing Aaron Smith passes including the 40/20 and the bullet pass to Leka

Work on the consistency and either sweep it or run with TT/CNK will maximize our attack

PS Pretty sure Egan was 6 at the end he wasn’t the one following the ball most of the time, we had 3 guys at dummy half at one stage

I just met @WA Warrior at our local Woolies here in Perth. Proudly wearing his Wahs jersey! Now, Had to tag him and show him my shorts aren't Canberra Raiders! Cos he was probably thinking this kient talking about the wahs win wearing raiders shorts!

My daughter brought me these LA Raiders and LA Dodgers basketball shorts from CultureKings. Not even realising the colours i was wearing. So don't come at me ok

Yeah he’s still got that arm grabbing problem

Needs to lean in lower and not expose his torso for a fend , stay light on his feet and not reach or plant his foot too early. I know from +20 years experience watching nrl

Pretty much bro. Grabbing a bread lol

 

[WAH MAN]

Watched the 2nd Leka try again. Fish looks slow to get up. Watch it. The marker was crunching his hand under his boot. Dirty play and typical grubby rubbish from a losing side.

 

[Ref]

Capewell and Charnze were massive in round one.
Leka starting and Taine with the early move to full back were both massive this week.
Good times.

I'm curious to see if the judiciary have any thoughts.

Tapine alone should get some naughty corner time.

 

[kos]

The encouraging sign out of this game was Boyd winking and grinning when he kicked that 40/20
This guy has got his self belief and self confidence back after Des Hasler damaged both
A confident self believing Boyd is a huge asset for us

I get the feeling Boyd is a little of an introvert. Coming to NZ and the Warriors may have been a bit outside his comfort zone. It looks like the team have warmed to him and he is starting to open up a bit. The finger in the air after the 20/20 is a positive sign of that IMO
