Reckon Ford loves it here at Warriors. Big game for the team to Honour Ford in a milestone game and celebrate Hanson’s debut and Pompey’s arrival of his and his partners child

Does TSS or Demetric play?

Facts first, because clearly some of these “experts” need help. Knights have beaten a wooden spoon-level side in Rounds 1 & 2. That’s it.

We’ve taken down a premiership favourite and last year’s minor premiers — and didn’t just scrape it, we handled them.

Different levels.

Trust the culture. Trust the discipline. Trust the fitness. Trust the team-first mentality Webster’s built — that’s why this side is humming right now.

Then you’ve got Sean the Sportsbet “trader” tipping Knights 13+ One of his big brain takes? Boyd and Hanson are a new halves combo. New? Are you taking the piss?

They’ve played 13 games together in NSW Cup. Won all 13. Won the comp. Won the national championship. But yeah… “new combo”

This is exactly what’s wrong with these planted analysts — either they don’t know shit about fuck, or they’re feeding mug punters a narrative to follow.

Watch the games. Watch the pathways. Know your footy. I don’t gamble, but I can smell absolute garbage analysis from a mile away — and that’s exactly what that is.

Wahs by plenty

I don’t gamble.

But after that stirring post, what’s the odds and how do I do it!

Gambling is a vice !!!

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Gambling is a vice !!!

Agree.

But if I just put a heap of money on this certain bet, I can just stop afterwards with my winnings!

That's how they hook you in. Once you have a good win you end up going back to the well.
I used to gamble on super rugby as the home side usually won.
I also to used to bet $20 on sure fire bets with $1.10 odds and pocket a $2 profit.
You can also do a multi of 3 to 4 sure fire bets and get a $1.50 pay out.
Unfortunately though upsets happen and it is called gambling for a reason.
But your day will be more exciting if you make this wager - so let me know how you get on!!!

No, you are right. It’s more fun to watch games just for the enjoyment.

No need to mix money making with entertainment.

If you want some cheap fun, join a tipping comp.

All the thrill of having something on the game, none of the gambling risk

Gambling is a filthy habit wrapped up in the guise of 'fun'

 

[Wah's Up]

Gambling is a filthy habit wrapped up in the guise of 'fun'

Kind of like being a Warriors fan.

 

[Playdaball]

Did we not ban the word "banana skin" last year?

Apple skin then?

Tis. No jokes, both are about dopamine seeking behavior, both are negatively impacting on peoples health. Still, watching a Warriors game usually doesn't equate with not being able to feed your kids.

I agree.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Would be funnier if the game was in Auckland and you turned up in Oakland

Dont hate on Oakland. Appropriately armed, its a very nice place to speed through on your way to Sacramento.

A betting agency advocating for a statistically unlikely outcome, ensuring a great return on this match?? I for one am shocked!

 

[Defence]

I opened a sports bet account in 2011 so I could put $100 on us to beat the tigers in the semi, then let those winnings ride into us beating Melbourne the following week- been trading off that ever since.
Tbf I usually only do small bets and only when I see juicy odds I like- last week though I was strangely confident and had a splurge…

 

[WAH MAN]

NRL 2026: Luke Hanson set to debut for Warriors, his journey to the NRL, feature, Warriors v Knights, rugby league news https://share.google/5w4gRGgzlZTnkVFOq

That was a good read and I really do enjoy getting to learn a bit about the heir journey and stories. Way to go Luke Hanson.

Am I the only person a little concerned about tomorrow's game vs the Knights?
I suppose I've been like that since 1995!

We have 8 of our potential 17 players out,
Pompey, Berry, Metcalf, Barnett, TMM, CNK, CHT, Capewell (And all the Aussie media is saying is that Newcastle have injuries)
The fact our team looks even competent is a testament to our depth.
I am also nervous about this one.
(Technically Barnett is back so 7 players)
