🤖 Thread Summary

The discussion revolves around the Warriors vs. Knights game, played on Anzac Day in Christchurch. Prior to the game, many forum members expressed optimism about the Warriors' chances, citing their strong forward pack and the Knights' missing players, with Tohu’Tohu’s_Knees #168368 predicting a Warriors victory by 13+ Wahs_Ultras #168374 anticipating an 18-point win if the middle battle was won. However, some, Dlenai #168376, admitted to being nervous about the Warriors being favorites, while others, rugged #168389, cautioned against complacency. The crowd in Christchurch was expected to be lively, and there was anticipation for future games at the new stadium, SJ2k #168385.

Recent discussion highlights key plays and players such as the performance of Erin Clarke, Keithy81 #168925 Inruin #168928 lauded for his consistent excellence and particularly his performance at lock. There was a reshuffle in the lineup with Leka starting, Niukore moving to prop, and Ford coming off the bench, Dlenai #168607 believed would be more effective. sydneywarrior92 #168901 pointed out Niukore's sin bin and the importance of securing the first try after halftime to maintain control of the game. Some users praised the Warriors' attack and ability to create opportunities, Makasene #168864 noting the improvement in player movement compared to the previous year.

Throughout the thread, posters expressed concerns about potential upsets and referee interference, but also showcased excitement among fans attending the game. There was also discussion around the team's ANZAC Day record and the significance of securing a win to solidify their position on the ladder, The Undertaker #168534. MrFrankWhite #168399 boldly predicted an 18+ point victory, expressing confidence that "this is the game it clicks".

Do we have a new Anzac jersey this year?
I saw the warm up tee and for a second I thought it was our jersey,
I like last years Anzac jersey.

We do have an average record playing in NZ outside of Auckland which is kind of weird. Not looking at the stats but it does feel this is getting better.

We have a terrible record on ANZAC Day. The majority of that is due to playing the Storm. As much as that was a big event it was like feeding lambs to the slaughter some years. We have also lost the last few ANZAC Day games at home. Those were close to 10 years apart which is a bit of a blight on the NRL not having a game in NZ on ANZAC Day.

The record on ANZAC Day I'm not too worried about. They will be motivated from last year and the form going into this game isn't too bad.

The Knights will be motivated to turn their season around similar to the Titans last year. Let's put the foot on their throat and they can turn around their season from next week.
 
A game we are expected to win always seems to be more of a curse than a blessing plus our record on ANZAC day isn’t great.
I’d be happy to come away with the win before we start talking about margins. With the outs we have at the moment I was happy to limit the damage until the cavalry came back and we have been performing admirably- just wonder how long that can continue
