Gameday Penrith vs Warriors - Finals Week 1 (Game Day)

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Panthers win, but I just want to see enough to carry into next weekend.

Either way it's great to be a warriors fan today! They have earned the right for this blockbuster.

 

[Ref]

Really trying hard to not get on the beers too early for this one! While our halves are not world class they are both very calm and solid. I think we can still throw plenty of attack

You mean like now.

Who’s going to run our kicking game? Not really one of TMMs strong suits and Walker isn’t any better. When Eels beat Pennys a few weeks back without Moses, pretty sure they ran a bit from their own 1/2 and tried to mix it up a bit. Still bit suprised RV hasn’t been brought in

 

[Lets Eat (YeahNah)]

Like everyone else

Concerned with long kicking game out of our half

Defence should hold
Have to man up on there back 3 running out of their own half

We can man up on Cleary as Cogger being second play maker

Like origin pressure Yeo linking with Cleary and cut down space

When in attacking zone soft hands short plays and kicks in goal and create pressure

It’s all about the forwards today

 

[enterthewarrior]

If I recall correctly, Panthers weren't at full strength when the Eels beat them. Dylan Edwards wasn't paying and a few others out as well.

 

[rugged]

It's on free to air at prime time, an upset win would be the biggest push the game has seen in this country since the Warriors were admitted.

Staying on this bandwagon even though the wheels are wobbling like buggery. Having said that, make every tackle count. Don't have to fold them, just stop their forward momentum and slow their ruck speed. Our line speed has to be resilient all day. Our keys are

1. CNK will rise and destroy the Panthers defence
2. AFB will rise and destroy the Panthers defence
3. Curran will keep his head on and rise and destroy the Panthers defence
4. Jazz will have his grippy hands on and rise and destroy the Panthers defence
5. TMM will use short kicking game to disrupt, then destroy the Panthers defence.
6. Egan will rise and destroy the Panthers defence
7. Tohu will not only rise but actually catch literal fire and destroy the Panthers defence
8. Everyone else will be so awe inspired that they will also rise and destroy the Panthers defence.

Just saying

It's game day. For us. In the finals. Just not used to it you know.

Penrith will give the warriors a hiding but next week warriors will win at home

Came across this from Rugby league project.

TMM has a sweet finals stat line! He's gonna cause some issues left side.

Bring home the dubb boys! 18-16 Stephen Critchon miss the difference.

Throw in a pen with sin bin for hip drop tackle by Yeo. (which will be a square up from earlier this year)

what year is that on that pic?

 

[sup42]

We will be clunky, two players out of position in the spine and they represent two 'halves' that have never played together before....one is not a half.

We will miss Shaun Johnson's defence, and as such our pattern will be out.

Calling players onto the ball and directing moves will be off.

All adds up to timing issues, which leads to play breaking down, and errors.

The kicking game is already stated here, so no comment from me on that score.

The quick shifts to the right will be the biggest potential loss to the Warriors arsenal, when you lose Shaun it is like losing Dallin as well.

Who cares.

We are in the finals and we landed there with a spare life, we have absolutely nothing to fear, we cannot be knocked out this round, and that is thanks to possibly the best regular season any of us have ever seen in terms of over achieving far beyond anyone's expectations.

Come kick off, square those shoulders, puff out your chest, no blinking, give the telly a side on Andrew Webster peripheral vision Ninja stare down.

Shame our curtain raiser side lost this morning, time to show them how it is done.

 

[Roadrunner]

Well it's been a long wait to get to here again so to stay on a positive vibe I hope the boys win but heart says nxt week will be the 1st killer blow.Im hoping for a better result than the Storm put up against the Broncos last night so we got nothing to lose go hard guys.

 

[Beastmode]

Exactly like last week, I love everyone believing with their heart and not their head.

Proud of the boys no matter what

Penrith by alot.

 

[Jeetz]

So pumped for tonight. If the boys can maintain a high completion rate the full 80, I reckon we can go close.

 

[Bruce]

I have a good feeling about this one for some reason,

I did until SJ dropped out. Dylan Walker is a class player though. He might surprise.

Bro as soon as I heard SJ was out, I was there. We only had a slim chance before and now its next to zero. Simple fact is we have no halves. I just hope the boys can, as a man 1-17, play the best game of their lives and squeak past Penrith.

We have to physically dominate them for 80mins. Not sure how likely that it. Hope and Pray. Up the Wahs

 

[Riz]

Let's eat!

 

[Tragic]

Be up there with the best wins ever if we pull this off. Kinda feels good with low expectations and another chance next week. Let's gone!

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

Looking forward to todays game. Feeling nice and relaxed but that might be due to not expected too much. Be interesting how the game is controlled as last nights game there was a lot of leeway in the ruck. Hopefully not as that will suit the Panthers better. Last time we played the Panthers the Panthers all said it was a tough physical game. If we can get even more physical we have a slimmer of a chance.

 

[Warriors4lyfe]

AFB with the Sam Lisone special, winning field goal.
My heart says Warriors win and my mind says Warriors win.
Up the mighty Warriors

Yea also feeling surprisingly calm. Definitely think it's cause of SJ and the lower expectation to win
