🤖 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.

Don't think we have to change anything. (maybe get a few more kicks 😅 )

Defend well and win the middle. If we allow them to get on top I can see them finding a way to find form which would be scary.

Looking at their team list, they are actually a bloody good side which suggests there are some issues with coach (which seems to be well known) but have a glaring weakness at 7.

Possibly too many playmakers? Cogger runs the team and both Sharpe and Ponga want the ball.

Dylan Lucas back is massive, they won both games with him this year.

Warriors 24 - 12 Knights
 
Don't care about how we have dropped our bundles in previous occasions. If we're going to win a premiership we need to know how to play big games, small games, nothing games, dead rubber games. Earn it tonight by doing the same things that win games. Break them down and stay with it even if it's clunky and ugly looking.

Clarke to score
Fordy to get one
CNK to setup Taine with the link man role.
Ali and Leka to destroy their opposites.

Happy game day

Lest we forget those who have served.
Kei wareware tatou.
 
Newcastle can be dangerous but make far too many errors. Can't see them changing this with the style of play we have. I don't really care too much about the score but would really like to see the halves step up and our attacking shape look good against a bottom team. The rest of our game looks good so be nice to have that click as well.
