Gameday Warriors v Cowboys - [Round 9, 2025]

[Ever Hopeful]

We might get stripped a bit on the outside this year with this defensive game plan, but it is resulting in both a lot of play being smothered and more than a few intercepts in 2025.

Counters our lack of speed too.

 

[MaybeTop8]

Pretty good half back eh

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Reset. Do it all again.

Would love to see 45-16 score line

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Best half of the season.

Traditionally the second half in blowouts is quieter… but I hope not!!!

 

[Citygirl]

What a great half, well done boys, let's finish it off

Would love to see 45-16 score line

With the way everyone is jacking off the Cowboys second half, I’d be happy with a win.

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Nah, if you don't vary your attack then it's easy to defend. If we didn't give Metcalf 7 rounds, he wouldn't be playing so well now. CHT is growing every week and he's doing well. Everyone needs to stop looking at every play in a vacuum...except maybe Metcalf's goal kicking.

AND YES POMPEY!!!!

He is doing well......just noticed he's better kicking instinctively rather than when he has too much time to think about it

More of 2nd half please

opposition get caught into the trap of thinking they can only beat us on the edges, making them one dimensional. Canberra was teh only team to beat us upfront this season.

 

[KPWarrior]

Most dominant 40mins of the season!

 

[Leon Black]

SJ interview Benji…

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Destroy them. That is all.

 

[CWC]

WTF am I watching

Metcalf possessed by SJ and Berry possessed by Ali, and Pompey by Dallin to run a 60m intercept try

 

[Keithy81]

Marata strong in the middle playing tough

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Man SJ called it before the game, he said these boys are dialed in.

Really impressive. Tidy up the edges a wee bit and I think we'll put them to the sword.

Let's push on and hit 40, would be a great mental barrier for us I feel

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Great running from Metcalf.

Our 7 is CHT
Our 6 is Metcalf.

Except for the goal kicking prove me wrong!

 

[LeagueJunkie]

Great half of footy by the boys, definitely one of the best halves we've put together this year. Can't count the Cowboys out though. Need to be switched on to start the second half and keep the foot down on them.

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

One off-season with JFH and our pack plays like this.

One off-season without JFH and the Panthers look doody.

Coincidence? I think not.

 

[Jaffa J]

Doing this without the big 3 is amazing if we close this out everything is lining up for us stay in the top 4 by seasons end

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Fuuuuck im soaked!

One more half of that please

Same! I took my wahs jersey off and waved it around when Pompey intercepted I was so hype. The crowd around me were laughing and the kids next to me grossed out

Forgot how old i am for a moment there. My 6 abs are now one big one. My bad kids, I'll put my jersey back on.

Lesssgoo the mighty wahsss!!!

 

[roguei]

Great running from Metcalf.

Doesn't matter how well metcalf plays. It looks like people will demand he loses that jersey reguardless.
