Gameday Sydney City Roosters v NZ Warriors - [Round 1, 2026]

[sup42]

Personally I'm grateful that it's not raining today as someone going to the game. But I think a little drizzle later in the day would help us a lot. A dewey surface is exactly what we need to turn this into a dog fight.

Yeah true that on the surface and leveling the playing field a bit.

Once Metcalf is back and if AKP gets a run we will be praying for dry tracks....how good would that be?

 

[sup42]

Win, lose or draw I’m glad our campaign is finally underway….still picking Wahs by a Janfin special, a loss I can stomach this early but the only losers they’ll be talking about are the Eels….thanks guys

Thanks for the reminder, first Janfin for the year logged. Yeah bro win lose or draw, lets not forget how long an off season is....

 

[BlackToko88]

Not gonna lie it was a slow build but just like that round 1 is here.

Will be a tough battle, especially whenever we play DCE (he seems to play good).

None the less excited to see how our young bench goes. Im tipping Boyd and Ali to have solid game.

Made an effort to drink less as well, so going to drive in and have a couple of the light beers!

 

[Mr Drag]

That is a future Warriors starting side on the bench!

 

[Leon Black]

Fuck me Boyd is a turnstile and Ford still hasn’t Fkn leant to play the ball… oh hasn’t kicked off yet, my personal captains run

All smack aside, hoping DCE and Walker take a while to gel & DCE completely derails their season!

We need NSW Cup confident Boyd, if we get the ’s the bed version, will be a tough night.

If we get the latter boyd, then ill leave my car overnight and drink more

Great idea but the light beer will have you pissing all night

That right edge of Boyd. Ali, DWZ doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence when it comes to defense.

We should start off the first 20 minutes with a lot of energy so if we can somehow convert that to points and put pressure on the Roosters we have a chance. If we don't convert that initial energy in to points I can see us dropping away

 

[Wah's Up]

Yay, gameday, Warriors v Roosters or should I say 12 roosters and a Giraffe.

 

[snake77]

It has been a long summer. A good night tonight with the NSW Cup and NRL.

A tough game first up. They are all tough in this competition. The only easy day game was yesterday.

 

[snake77]

Really tough matchup for the boys today but I'd love nothing more than to give Long Neck a loss in his first game for the Roosters.

Hopefully we win so I can sink a few long necks to celebrate.

 

[WAH MAN]

They've had a whole off season knowing Tanah was going to drive the bus. So here's hoping they have done their prep. Choke them on defence if we have it in them. Is Laban or Capewell their back rower?

Last year we conceded more tries on the right than any other team. Every team targets that side so I hope they are prepared for a busy night.

 

[WAH MAN]

If Ali doesn't show up tonight and Tanah still needs Heimlich manoeuvres then I will come back here and quote myself for my bad prediction that they will both fire and our attack will be devastating against the chooks tonight.

 

[Beastmode]

Geezus first game of the season and +10 folks have Roosters winning in the poll???

I’m all IN

Warriors -12

 

[mrblonde]

Things I'd like to see:
DCE to suddenly remember his backflip from his Not Titans days and announce 5 min before kick off that he's back to Manly.
The entire Roosters not play in RLPA Solidarity with Zac I Can't Stick To Contracts Lomax.

Warriors 18-10.

I usually say Warriors 13+ no matter what - we have it in us - but as it's round 1 I;ve gone with the circumspect 12- ... c'mon guys: winner winner

 

[miket12]

And, yes, I am still bitter about 2002!!!!

 

[WAH MAN]

Geezus first game of the season and +10 folks have Roosters winning in the poll???

I'm on that vote too. I didn't wait all off season and this many years to jump ship today.

WE ARE THE WARRIORS %%%

Finally, game day thread, the wait is over.. tough ask first up, hope we do well.... long season ahead... lets gone...
