Hey Whanau/Family hope everyone has a nice Sunday build up lined up.
Last night during the Roosters Storm coverage, Warren Smith the lead commentator gave a run down of today's games. His delivery was along the lines of blah blah plays blah blah, followed by blah blah....Then the BIG ONE.....one V two.....the Warriors vs Penrith.
Hats off to the Warriors, Admin, Coaches, players, fans. We all did this, elevated this once poor club to the phenom that runs out tonight.
Usually it is during a Warriors game that the commentator will do that, call another game as The Big One, and it can feel a bit disrespectful. Who would have imagined that hyping of a Warriors game would happen in the middle of a Roosters Storm clash at prime time Aus schedule?
A lot to gain tonight and very little to lose. We are not the best team in the NRL, they are. So what...who cares, being the contender in a title fight carries it's own Mana.
If we win, things will go silly, this is our year and all that carry on, oh man I would love us to win, but it isn't the all and end all. This could be a three fight series with the Panthers, if both teams held form they will be in the Grand final (I ain't looking ahead here, just observing you want to win the last game, not the round Robin games).
Hopefully we threaten them though eh, every time we play, hopefully come years end they no longer sit apart from the rest as a team that fears no one.
