Gameday Warriors v Knights - [Round 8, 2025]

[~Navigator~]

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.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

We have two fullbacks and three centres and zero wingers and I still think we're winning.

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.

Those on the forum living in Christchurch or the surrounding areas that can't get to games often and are going to night. Enjoy the night.

Looking forward to next season when we fill up the new stadium. Let's send off the current stadium with a win.

 

[Get them onside ref!]

God, i hope so - we're not dumb enough to take this lightly, so while there will be a tussle I think we'll get over the top

Watch out for the big Kiwi Thomson boys

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

Watch out for the Halasima and Vaimauga hair do's. Or hair don'ts. Depends on your perspective

 

[Gods_17]

weather update for those in Christchurch? Wet and Dewey or Sunny and Fine?

It's fresh out, soft breeze and wet under foot at the mo, sw92 (the lawn needs to be mowed so it carries more dew than it should I guess, haha, tomorrows job.) Wear your jackets tonight Christchurchians!

Under your NZWarriors Jersey of course

Up The Wahs!

Warriors 18+. This is the game it clicks.

Be nice to be at the trigger end rather than the barrel end of things

Be nice to have a toilet seat, made of gold.

Somethings just aren't meant to be.

May put a couple of dollars on warriors to win the comp. @$29

Be nice to sit on one and out comes gold. Ummm where are we going with this?

 

[Po11um]

The warriors can only get better they have few players out with injuries

I dunno. Just echoing your previous sentiment, I guess.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

We've been badly beaten in 3 halves of footy this year - 2 against the Raiders and one against the Storm.

Trust the process. Our attack is still likely going to look clunky but if we keep our defense solid we'll be able to grind them down, and get a few late tries to push the scoreline out. I'm guessing 28-12 to us.

 

[~Navigator~]

When was our last Anzac day win?
Was it 2014??

 

[Citygirl]

The CHCH crowd is nuts, going to be a great time. Time for the boys to put the foot down and give a team a hiding. Hope we get more games with the new stadium.

Extended until 2028 in the 03, bring it on. Can't wait for tonight, got my jersey on, been for a walk up Port Hills, got a few Up the Wahs

Days like today I wish I was living back home in Our Shakey City.
I bet the port hills walk was beautiful today.

Dunno if its new or i just never noticed it before but those match stats and player stat accordions at the top of the thread are really cool.
