[janfin]

Geez it seems ages since we played.Kia Kaha Mitch and Kurt you have had a good pre-match warm-up .that we win by 6 .You can do it .Can’t wait for kick off

 

[Nakiproud]

Any team list shenanigans ya reckon??

 

[Tookey 2.0]

We're good enough to go on a run to get to the finals. We started against the Broncos but those cheating refs stalled us against the Dogs.

I'm expecting plenty of square ups in our favour as an apology from the refs tonight. We simply have to roll these Canberra fooks.

Warriors by 24 in a canter.

Ali to get on the score board
Barnett to fold some c*nts
Dallin and Rapana to pull off some absolute lunatic antics on their wings and make it an enjoyable game.
Timoko to make at least one 50m break.
Halasima to come on and run over the top of blokes left right and centre.
Tauapiki and TMM to have 3 try assists between them

Let's F**KING eat

 

[JustLikeStartingOver]

kind of one of those ones don't really want to watch - just see the result and catch a replay.

Win and its a stay of execution, lose and might as well play the young guys the rest of the year.

Win this one and next week and then crack the ladder predictor out.

 

[BigUCE]

I’m sure the forecasted temperature will have the boys wide awake tonight

 

[Roadrunner]

We've come to the crossroads.Win and we move ahead lose and it's going down the back country rd.Warriors a Janfin special for me.

 

[Aman 2.0]

Nat a good feelin abut this wun

 

[regenerated borg]

Do or die today... for some reason I reckon the boys will win.. I just hope the officiating is fair and consistent. Don't want to see another Bulldogs fiasco...

 

[ShaunJohnson7]

I'm picking the Warriors to win -12 this one and keep the season alive coming off the bye refreshed and with in my opinion an exciting looking backline. They haven't played much together but if they click then we can create some chance.

Just a question for those in the know, as I don't watch a lot of NSW cup.

But generally does the NSW cup team try to emulate the same structures and patterns as the first grade team? So that, ultimately when players are brought up to the first grade team they're not a fish out of water trying to build connections with players who are playing a completely different way?

Or is it a different team and as such, different structures, processes and plans?

A not at all surprising emotion. Looking at the current ladder, we are sitting 12th with five teams above us still to play (Sharks 4th, Bulldogs 5th, Dolphins 6th, Manly 7th as well as Raiders (11th).
Four of these are away from home (and two of our three home games are against the two lowest teams on the ladder). In addition, the Broncos (13th) are poised to make a run. ( In effect, we are in the finals now and to make the eight appears to be an impossible task. All we can do is take one game at a time.

From the all the games I've watched televised on Sky I would say yes they are emulating the first grade team. Obviously different players are going to have an impact but the shapes they run the style game plan etc look very similar.

Fuck knows if we are gonna turn up tonight or whether we have conceded the season

 

[PNG Kiwi]

The team is picked more on last man standing, but this is really when we have been at our best.
Let's see how they go after a break.

I dunno man, I feel we've turned up every game and have tried hard. Even the Titans game was even until about 20 minutes before the flood gates opened.

Id be really surprised and shocked if we simply didn't turn up. Loads of young guns with something to prove, on top of the possibility of us making the 8.

Yeah I think it’s just past PTSD that’s creeping in. Where far from the team we once were.
