Gameday Warriors v Cowboys - [Round 9, 2025]

[sydneywarrior92]

I think this is the game that we announce ourselves, and cement a top 4 spot.

If we put on a good showing and get the win today I think a lot of people are going to sit up and take notice.

3 of the next 4 game are against teams sitting 10 and lower, with a few of our top players coming back. On top of Origin. I don't want us to get too far ahead of ourselves but 6-2 would be a phenomenal result for the beginning of the year, considering everything we've had to overcome this year.

No Addin, No SJ. Tohu retiring before the start of the year, Walker being named to start one week, pulls out and signs with another team, on top of all the injuries we've had.

Probably the last week we can claim as an ambush, but year of the ambush babyyy

If we win this, we go outright 3rd, 2 pts ahead of 4th and likely 6 pts ahead of 8th. We likely then get the Triple bangers (DWZ, RTS, JFH) back for the next game and right before origin hits. Up the wahs!

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

can you back the boys for once?

Keep betting against us, it’s been lucky

 

[mrblonde]

Toddy still owes us for pulling out and leaving us with Brown.
Should be instructing his players to give us at least 2 intercept tries.

Warriors by 8.

The question is who gets squeezed out ?

 

[sup42]

A chance for another reminder of why we ended up with the better coach.

Lock it down tight.

Line speed will stress them.

Territorial pinning them will frustrate them.

Limited controlled offloads from people like Kosi standing in the tackle will upset their defensive matrix and get us a roll on. Just one little unexpected change to what we usually do would trouble the Cows a lot. As someone else said, they do not do plan B too well.

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

Went for a decent walk around town this morning ending up on Caxton Street and you would never think the game was being played in QLD. Wahs jerseys/fans everywhere

 

[run_it_str8_again]

can you back the boys for once?

Not until the result is in usually

The question is who gets squeezed out ?

It will be easy to decide when the time comes. And will be sweeter if players who are performing greatly have to make way.

 

[Bluecat]

A top 4 team will beat the Cowboys. Time to show what we can do on the big stage. Forget all the players that are not there. We're not missing them, we're playing winning football
Tonight will be a big part of where we go for the season for mine. We've done well so far. A win tonight and the momentum and belief keeps building.

we beat the Broncos, a genuine top 4 team, with a much weaker squad than we have for this game. We have the cattle and the gameplan to mow the cows. Just need to execute it today.

 

[SJ2k]

One thing that's good is there is positional pressure on the players, which is pretty rare for us these days. The OB's are under pressure with DWZ/RTS coming back. Forwards there's lots of minutes up for grabs between the older and younger players.

 

[Riz]

Won't the real slim Leka please stand up.

Let's eat!

 

[Beastmode]

I have no idea who’s winning today

Just hope the game isn’t ruined by sin bins and pedantic inconsistent decisions by the narcissistic bunker and ref.

Hopefully SJ is commenting for fox. Hes such a breath of fresh air

 

[Gods_17]

I want to hear "Ooo Aah Up The Wahs! Ooo Aah Up The Wahs! Ooo Aah Up the Wahs! Continuously throughout the Whole 80 minutes of footy tonight. Not much to ask, really, it's just for All Us Diehards, that'll be glued to the tv screen 7:30pm, that couldn't make it over there to wonderland. Haha!

5 and a bit to go baby, Up The WAHS!

 

[Evil_Mush]

Keep betting against us, it’s been lucky

Speaking of luck, my perfect run of Warriors winning when I can't watch live is on the line again today hah (going to Porirua Rock n Wrestling Show which is a great combo of two of my other loves )

If they lose at least I can go back to watching live again from next week without guilt of the jinx (last week was only half hour delay so I'm getting close again )

But hope we play well and it's a fun game to watch when I wake up hungover in the morning

 

[Roadrunner]

Heart says warriors head says who knows.My punter self says warriors 12 and under.Maybe I should just go back under a rock.Onwards and upwards boys.

 

[roguei]

Same journlists still saying Healey is going to join the line up. So reguardless of the result, i'll be happy if we play with heart for the full 80 and healey has a good debut. But we gotta get up for it after the Harlod matts boys won the comp again!

A lot of talk about the 'next man up' method - however only the Panthers in their prime have really shown how systems and squad are first, even before 'team', let alone individual - call me a cult member, but i have the faith strong: we've got something special brewing - this game will be a test of it, and I hope we pass - warriors by 16 ... sweeeet, leshgo!

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Quite staggering where we're sitting on the table given only 3 teams have scored less points than us.

This means our defence plus a top of the table set completion rate is actually winning us games.......which are such great attributes to be performing in......even better they really look like their instilled in our DNA for the season too.

No different for this game i think. Cowgirls have enough in the tank to challenge for sure.....but those are the cues ill be looking for early - how we're defending and completing our sets....if those aspects are looking on song then we'll give ourselves a good chance.
