2 of the best wins in the clubs history back to back!

Super hearty!

 

[KPWarrior]

Fucking EPIC!!

 

[Ever Hopeful]

I have a lot of all time favourite games, but that is near the top.

So proud of this club. What a fortnight. Season back on track.

Congrats to all who have put in the hard yards. Especially the young'uns

Barnett, you are a legend

 

[jonesy101]

DWZ brilliant at the back

 

[tyrael]

We don't need no Dad's Army! We don't need no brownies! Up the Warriors, Up the Webster, Up the Fans! We deserved this!!!!!!!

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Webbys a legend getting reserve graders to topple top 4 teams.

Never doubted him!

 

[snake77]

I said last week it is wins like that, that make me love the club.

Yeah same again. So proud.

 

[Mr Drag]

Guts and Glory!

 

[Pop Dukez]

Cmon…..A+++++ all day.

Two top 4 scalps in a row with essentially our D team.

Hard to pick MOM

Ok….Barney

 

[Inruin]

Is this actually our 'c' team?

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Well, well, well.

The team a month ago wasnt playing finals; this team is a different story

Posted this in the game day thread and said I would re post in this thread if we win...

Ok guys time for more beer talk....

I say lean into our ridiculous nightmare.

This post is for rugby league purists, a meta view of how to enjoy a game like today in difficult circumstance that we should on paper lose.

If you are a 'Warriors lose' -'Warriors bad' - guy/gal....skip and move onto the next post.

If you are a train spotting freak trying to make lemons from lem.....you get the point....

On the face of it we are literally fielding a team as scary as the one the Dolphins thrashed 34 to 10, round 27 last year. The game where Webster pulled all of his best players to cotton wool them and ran out his expendables.

Take a look at the side that day:

1. Taine Tuaupiki
2. Ed Kosi
3. Rocco Berry
4. Adam Pompey
5. Marcello Montoya
6. Te Maire Martin
7. Ronald Volkman
8. Bunty Afoa
9. Freddy Lussick
10. Barnett
11. Josh Curran
12. Marata Niukore
13. Dylan Walker

14. Bayley Sirronen
15. Tom Ale
16. Kalani Going
17. Paul Roache.


Spooky to look at the comparison of how depleted that Warriors side look compared to today right?

Like dejavu.

So today is an excellent measuring stick of Andrew Webster and the Warriors development programs progress.

The score to beat today is 34 Dolphins, 10 Warriors.

That is the litmus test the gauge the parallel to the last time we rolled out a C team.

Go the C team welcome back to the glitch in the Matrix against the exact same club that thumped you last year which was a Warriors epic season. Lets see what the same type of team can do from a form slump with backs to the wall.

 

[Makasene]

We can't afford any more injuries to our depth.

If any of these first graders today go down, who will we call on

 

[Deranged]

Could you imagine supporting this team.

 

[kurgal]

These C and D teams ain't too bad huh?

 

[Bluecat]

WOW!!!!! What an amazing result. Well done boys
If this was a Disney movie with a second string team beating 2 top 4 sides in a row no one would believe it. But we did it.
After so many years of keeping the faith it is so good to be a Warriors fan
Fantastic result

 

[snake77]

Don't mind if we don't win pretty with flash moves. Just find a way to get over the line.

The boys did that.

A rough start. But we managed to turn it around. Even got on top of the grind in the second half. Loved the period we kept getting line drop outs.
