Will be listening on the radio today from mahi. Rip in and earn it. We've got leadership. We've got youth. We've got resilience. We've got fitness. We've got runners in motion making defenders choose wrong. We've got a little general who's kicking game can cripple an opposition pack. We have a pack that can bash the pus out of teams. We have a team to field.

When we bowed out at the hands of Penrith last season Webby said we were missing one thing. Well we have that one thing now.

Destroy them. We are the Warriors 💯%

By the way. My Mrs let me talk to her about this season last night and it went like this:

Her: So what's the difference this season?

Me: Where do I start? Nah last year coach said we were missing one thing. I assumed he meant fast outside backs. So we bought Lofi. I thought he meant we lacked speed. And I think we did.

But!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think we are a faster team playing a faster game.

Getting out of the tackle faster. Trying to play the ball faster. Faster to respond to ref calls. Funny thing is we still have all the old blokes we ran with against Brisbane in our last game of 2023 except they are older still.

Her: Ok

Just say the team upgraded from Seth Rogan to Brad Pitt, at this pace, we might have a Barbie parade on Queen St in September
 
Nice try Tafua...on the back of quick ptbs

Absorbed the early pressure and getting down field pretty easily so far.

The one time they've gone Bishop Neals way it looked a bit awkward between him and Cleary......give it time.
 
Congrats to Gannon and Hansen on their debuts. Good luck to them both. Im a bit confused here. Barnett is playing in#23 but the 4 man bench is Healy, Marata, Demitric and TSS. Is this where the new 6 man interchange comes in?
Yep. Dosent matter where you are on the bench. Every player can be used whenever Webby decides (the number of interchanges allowed remains the same though). Barney probably takes TSS minutes tonight
