[John Nick]

FYI, it auto changes cuddle's to Andrew Webster.

Cheers mate

One of the things I’ve been impressed with having AKP in our lineup is that our meterage from the backline hasn’t changed this game was the first time our back 5 all ran over 100m this season I hope we can keep this going

 

[WAH MAN]

I do love seeing all the comments from opposition fans (and coaches I guess!) moaning about us getting helped by the refs, this is truly what backing a winning team feels like

I love stink refs when we win

The forgotten

CNK
Marata
Barnett
Metcalf
TMM

What a backup squad outside the 17.

The question is how do you use these guys to prevent burnout from the regulars never had this problem before

The old steve Hansen rotation plans maybe,
One week one team next week another?
Such a bonus when Ya have huge depth.

 

[3rdstriker]

Is anyone else, any long suffering Warriors tragics starting to wonder "Is it the Warriors year?" If we can beat Paramatta comfortably like that away from home, on the road, in an oddly refereed match that disrupted both team's rhythms, AND we are yet to integrate Barnett at full cylinders into our side - then how far can we go?

To be honest I'm just happy week to week, every win is so important,
Such a mint way to to head into the bye with 4 points.
Gone are the days where you wonder why certain players are even out there,
Don't wanna say it just yet because one or two injuries can bring capitulation. But it does feel like a bit of a golden era coming up,
I just hope Tangatatoa can sort the cup defence out, cause once Norris pasikakla and Kali come through with the right foundations we are gonna be even more stacked and player combinations are gonna be cemented in.

Conditioning yourself physically and mentally for a game peak once every two weeks, especially for the older folks is really not a bad idea

Egan
Capewell
Barnett
RTS
CNK

Basically anyone over 30

I've been a little negative in recent weeks in these comments - nothing to do with the team, they're really putting something together - so I just wanna express how good our second try was - a real thing of beauty that one : off the ruck to Clark, first man to Fish who goes into contact and swivels and finds CHT out the back, who pumps and then throws a faceball across rts to lofi on the edge -- it was extraordinary -- when the commentators go on about 'tries of the season' this probably won't get a look in: i reckon it should as it's peak warrior ball 2026 - a style of play we're going to see go deep this year

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Any update on RTS’s shoulder?

Assuming he’s ok for 2 weeks time?

 

[AlwaysOptmistic]

I love the fact our current prop rotation consists of:
1. Current Kiwis captain
2. Current Australian and origin player
3. One of the best up and coming prospects in the last decade who is finally reaching that experience level needed in the NRL
4. The current leader of the Dally M

Certainly all round much better than the Lachlan Burr, Kane Evans, JTB, Lodge, tohu harris/AFB rotations of the past where we saw a significant falloff once lodge/AFB/tohu would come off.

I just make the cut. But totally agree with "load management" for want of a better term. Bloody hell we have done really good aye considering no Barney and Metty for most of this season.

Although I think the whole thing is a scam

How many Daly m points did Ford get???
