A win feels a little like mission impossible....not saying it is, just sayin....in me feels.
Don't take this as a negative, we are slow competition starters, old clubs from Sydney often aren't they come out like March Premiers, I know this ain't scientific, just a viewers memory of lots of seasons of NRL.
And then there is the Ref factor, lets not forget that we are the minnow side here, if we are talking long term historical human subjectivity = Roosters big team/Warriors little battler team.
Our main challenge is ourselves, overcoming the first six round clunkyness the Warriors throw up every season, which is why I am grateful for Websters dry balls kick and chase and pin routine....long rallies...back and forth, back and forth....that is how this team wins upsets, keeping it on the down low, kicking a few speculators, causing little errors, holding our ball....you know the buzz.
Where are our points coming from? From
Tanah Boyd cross field kicks to our leaping forwards....that is where we will score points. I wish it were by putting it through the hands, but that won't come till this lot shake the rust off....so this game is about Defence.
Well we might score off short passing through the forwards, but I will speculate here, that
Webster based off his history, has told the forwards to tuck the ball under the wing and run hard, get dominant ruck, stick to that.
And I can imagine if
Ali doesn't put in he will get the hook before the hooter and that will be his career on last life in NSW cup.
