LETS GONE WARRIORS!!!

 

[Falcon]

Who’s ready for a 3 game win streak only to miss the play-offs by a point!

 

[Beastmode]

The only player I’m excited to see in our entire line up is Sifakula.

Curious with Metcalf but think he’s overrated

Manly by as many as they want.

 

[Sledge]

13+ Manly our season was done weeks ago.

 

[BigUCE]

Wahs 13+. Mathematically still a chance to play finals so will be booking my grand final tickets after this hiding.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

This game is over from the get go.

Where to start?

• Out of form
• Manly Away
• Chris Buttler and that bitch in the bunker!

Help us Obi wan kenobi your our only hope.

Wow with Butler we have a 28.6% win rate. With refs who have officiated more than 5 games for us he is the worst of the current refs. 3rd worst of all time. If I went down to 4 games he would 4th as Graham Annesley reffed us for 4 games all of which we lost....

With Badger I wonder how many head highs will be called slipping up with no penalty. The most incompetent of the current refs.

Anyway would love us to win but I am a realist. Manly by plenty unless Luke can find the force.

 

[juju]

Surely we can't win this. Surely...

Badger is so subpar it's actually dangerous for the players.


We could win this.

But we won't.

But we won't.

Maybe we can get her husband to come hang in the warriors coaching box for a bit so she stays the fuck away from the bunker for our games.

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Dont hold out much hope for this one. Away from home, Manly have a shit load of strike. Could get ugly

Plus they still have something to play for, we dont (please stop with this mathematical chance malarkey). Unless they galvanize for SJs last hurrah.

Still, plenty to watch for. Will be interested how Metcalf goes (have been keen on him since he first came on the radar at the Sharks, but still maintain he's a fullback. The majority seem to have him locked into that number 7 jersey next year but unless he's discovered previous unseen game management skills im not convinced myself).

Keen to see Sifakula again. Havent been able to watch lower grades this year cant believe how his body shape has changed. He was lean last year from what i remember. Looks like a tank now.....big scary tank....good, we needed more size with Addin gone. Speaking of which how excited was he when Sifakula scored last week....never seen that much emotion out of him before. Beginning to think the toxic rumours earlier this season was more about the missus than him. Think he genuinely wants these boys to do well.

Stop falling for the mathematical chance rage bait

 

[Bluecat]

Could be a hard watch tonight.

But who knows. We could win
And make the 8
And give SJ a home semi final to send him off
And be Premiers.
And be the start of a dynasty with all the new players coming through.

Or realistically it could be a hard watch tonight

 

[Spence]

Easy win, the boys will step up for SJs last hurrahs.

 

[Warriors4lyfe]

Egan out.
Lussick starting.
Metcalf to half's and cht on bench

 

[Aman 2.0]

will be watching, but only with my brain.

This team gives me nothing to be excited about.

Never know, they might save you a viagra

 

[Tookey 2.0]

I'm hoping Leka comes on to the bench. Do we know why he was scratched last week? That dude needs to see as much first grade as possible imo.

Hoping we get to see Leka and Sifakula in tandem, that's a very exciting and scary prospect for opposing teams in the coming years.

Add old mate Luke Metcalf back in to the mix too, on top of the SJ farewell tour, it's still a fairly exciting game with plenty on the line.

Give us fans something to shout about tonight please fellas!

If tonight's not a Janfin spesh I don't know what is!

 

[Evil_Mush]

I thought this game was on Sunday for some reason so have accidentally double booked myself tonight, maybe for the better!

Good luck to all watching this live, my heart goes out to you.


I hope we play well, and if that results in a win then all the better.

 

[Roadrunner]

A sad day for me to say this but Manly 13+ our tank ran dry long time ago now we've just got the fumes left.
