Post Match NZ Warriors v Newcastle Knights - [Round 3, 2026]

[mrblonde]

Calling it because I never said it:
Who on here's feeling a bit red-faced right now after, during the off-season, offering the "Gee, I hope we can be 50-50 with the Wins/Losses until Luke Metcalf gets back because, gee, that Tanah Boyd kid, he just ain't up to it!" prediction??

Got to love sport humour a comment on the Knights site is warriors could only score 38, take that warriors

I was actually more disappointed we let in 6pts in the second half

Would have been a dream to keep the scoreless after the first try in 5 mins..

I also think we need to keep Tuapiki at fullback, he’s like a perfect compliment to our style.

Probably would move CNK to center to replace Ali, I still think he’s defensively lazy at times.

Also big credit to Marata. He had a blinder tonight and looked like the true enforcer he should be playing like every week.

The Knights are meant to be looking at him. Well according to the the Mole.

He was in the shop window. Show your potential coach and team mates what you can do. Price has probably gone up too.

 

[Defence]

Rts with a lazy 181m- just another day at the office for him.

Selfish me says he should also go for a run after the game

And he should be thankful for being able to do so.

Laban is just cramp?

When Boyd went down he was up on the sideline looking keen. We were all out of interchanges at that stage though

Outstanding performance today to continue an awesome start to the season. It's still early but this team is remarkable. Putting up 40 ppg while only conceding 12; dominating the middle; playing smart, assured footy to control the game but also trusting guys to play eyes-up now that the system is second nature. Smothering but with some style too. We look class. We look a step ahead of every other team except the Panthers. And our pack pisses theirs tbh with you.

I'll say it now. I'm going early.

We're gonna win the whole fucking thing.

UP THE WAHS. LET'S GONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE.

 

[CWC]

No problem we'll take those 38 points.

After a lot of the close grinding games the last few years I'm enjoing these wins where we score 30+ points.

St John just reported sudden medical events dropped by 90% in the month of March compared to 12 months ago

 

[CWC]

I like how we kept faking head knocks to get free interchanges every game

 

[ShaunJohnson7]

Iron man Jackson Ford

23 hit ups
236m

44 tackles!

Geezus take a bow and get some rest big fella

Literally best player in the game now closely followed by Tanah Boyd. With all of a sudden a stacked forward pack to play behind them

 

[Teets]

Maintain discipline.

It's pretty simple:

Be fitter.
Argue less.
Do less dumb shit.

It's more than just fitness.

All the small principles of Cleary ball have compounding benefits with more 6 agains.

Rts with a lazy 265m- just another day at the office for him.

Haha here I was thinking he had a quiet game!

Best left winger in the comp? Close, surely.....

It's a bit on the line, really. NRL will no doubt do some crazy shit to rectify it.

Website has him at 181m

This! I’m sure this is why they got Healey on!

 

[Completion Rate]

Did I not say put the house on Leka and Hanson to score?
I was almost homeless there for a second....
almost.

Maybe although they’re probably still reeling from Katoa-gate

 

[KO WAI RA]

Even Justin Horo doing the call was fan boy’n the Wahz hard at the death…..
MOFO was completely discombobulated, Said Taine scores before re-scripting to debut try & still got the final score wrong before switching to Lara….
Bloody amateur aye….
Sort him out Willy…..
