Post Match Warriors v Cowboys - [Round 9, 2025]

[CWC]

If we think about 2023, the season was set up off the back of the miraculous Sharks comeback.

From that point on, anything was possible.

I think this match is even better / more important / whatever you want to call it.

Personnel injuries aside it is the type of match and result that could catapult us deep this season.

Very exciting times indeed

That was what they call championship defense

Taking stock of our position after magic round. We are 6-2. We are basically halfway to finals. Need at least 6 wins (7 to guarantee). Looking at the draw, it's not inconceivable to think we could get all of those wins at Mt Smart alone. Raiders in 3 weeks without their origins stars. Then we play Penrith 3 days after the Perth origin game so there is no chance Cleary, Edwards and co play against us. After that it's Tigers, Titans, Dragons and Eels at home to wrap the season. Just win all of those and we are at 12 wins and essentially in finals.

Although it would seem unlikely that they backup 3 days after origin with Perth travel, their delicate position and probable desire to do something special may necessitate some of them backup. I would think Yeo is unlikely but would expect some or all of their backs (Edwards, To'o, Cleary) to back up.
