Team List NZ Warriors v Newcastle Knights - [Round 3, 2026]

[Wrighty]

I'm lowkey thinking if we score 40 in the rain against a staunch defense what will we do on a dry track, and Boyd's in our team this time....

Bro can you please tell me what the expression "lowkey" means when used on the Internet. Everyone is using it now....

 

[Beastmode]

I'm heading over for this one from Christchurch, we'll be loud, can't wait

Hilarious if you showed up in Auckland this weekend ….

 

[WAH MAN]

Really we just need to turn up switched on and be willing to earn it again. It's a good game plan we are running and it's early in the season enough to keep it up so let's get in there and give it everything and earn the opportunities we have ahead. Warriors by a ton.

 

[YouKnowIt]

You can't just cure my ptsd with words. I need psychedelics.

Hahaha me too...

 

[Ref]

TT is a carbon copy of myself when I played.
I was his size and a full back with the same attacking skills and defensive nous.
Albeit at provincial club level but still repped two provinces in the late 80s early 90s. Both good looking too.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Both good looking too.

I feel like you after a haircut too.

How is AKP's defense? Don't like messing with RTS on the wing. He had defensive issues at center in 2024. Has he done reps at center?

Either way, their outs are far more damaging for them. I don't think the gameplan changes either way with Pomps out. Our pack is stronger this week than the one that dealt with the Raiders last week with the possible inclusion of Barney and Marata. So we just need to power through the middle and dominate the possession game to neutralize their advantage in the backline.

I don't think webby will move him he'd probably play Leka there. Everyone moaned that Leka was mid in that position pre season. The whole team wasn't looking to crash hot tho. Now look, We're minor premier's after 2 rounds

 

[Rick O’Shay]

But how's his defence? That's what I wanna know.

Iron Dome

Iron Dome

is this Hanson? In those videos, TT mentioned that he dominates the wrestling sessions. So he's a strong lad and done a solid apprenticeship in cup. He is ready for his crack.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Pls don't mess with the pack that has been demolishing the middle. Leave Leka where he is. I'm actually excited to see a potential AKP debut (fingers crossed he is ready defensively). TT, Hanson and AKP- we could have genuine speed for the first time in this team alongside power.

 

[Rick O’Shay]

Hahaha me too...

And me plus I'm older

Ah no, it's a reference to the Israeli Air Defence System which seems to be working ok

Hopefully Hansen gets the Cue

It’s actually harder to put in words than I thought it would be… it’s like… if you want to pre-empt that you don’t want any sass back for saying an opinion, you’re just chucking something out there but you’re not worried about defending it. It’s like a modest, non-argumentative, casual, maybe hyperbolic way of saying something.

It’s more complicated than that though, it’s been used as slang since the 1800s in different ways, starting from a music term (low key being deep and soft musically). You might’ve familiar with the term “low key party”?

 

[CWC]

Grant Anderson to make a shock debut for the warriors?

Surely EIT to centre, minimal disruption, unless they want to keep TSS and put Marata or Barney on bench by moving Leka

 

[Sammyw]

My preference is to shoehorn a back rower into center, either Leka or EIT.. don’t mix up multiple positions to fix one out.

That's our new winger's nickname, Lowkey Five Tries.

I lowkey hope Ponga and Brown limp off the field and get ruled out against us

Opposite of lowkey in this situation is -

 

[Zaggo]

Wonder if they'd bring Gannon in if Leka goes to centre.

 

[tajhay]

Im lowkey excited for this match.
