Gameday Warriors v Knights - [Round 8, 2025]

[tyrael]

Was that when he went flying into the goal post?

Did you ever see the massive bruising down his torso?

No but I was surprised he even had a torso!

Do we think byod is gonna make his warriors debut onto the bench today? Seems a little odd running a bench with 2nd rowers (Leka and Laban). Especially if our current 2nd rowers (capes and Marata) like to play long mins.

Niukore and Leka can both play middle so there's some room for them

*Edit. No idea what the go is with Boyd.

Don't like the idea of changing up Leka's position considering how young he is. More mins in one position the better IMO. Would be interesting if they shifted Niukore last min.

Byod can play hooker to spell Egan. And he isn't too bad at it. Can obviously cover both halves to if needed.

 

[Wah's Up]

I agree with you. The Warriors are good under dogs and less effective when favourites.

You may want to edit that

I’d be happy to come away with the win before we start talking about margins.

Just get it done eh.

Once you are in the top four no one cares anymore how you win, defending your position by collecting two competition points every week is all that matters.

So what if we are the weakest team in the top four - we got there by beating other genuine top four possibles in Brisbane, Manly, and the Roosters.

We are going to improve week on week as players return. Probable that our improvement arc will be slow (because it has been slow, we are talking about retraining key people to perform complex roles).

Hopefully our backline has some fun tonight, they deserve some reward for hanging in their and winning ugly.

 

[Get them onside ref!]

way the Aussies been talking up are last win was purely as Broncos played poorly ..I hope this week we can cement are place in the top-4 as a great team and not just lucky 13+ WARs

Aussie’s mate
What TV media peeps actually praise Wahs
Look at the wanker on NRL 360
Never gives us time of day
Ex Roosters player you’d expect that

 

[Warriorshopeful]

They came out guns firing last night

Their tempo and energy was so much higher than last week…

Madge must have said a few words to fire them up

Dogs also made a lot of mistakes, dropping the ball on the first set wasn't a great start haha.

3 sin bins didn’t help also

Should've been 4!

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Monty's one was just BS tbf. But it just goes to show how impactful sin bins are. Niukore/Ford: please don't do anything stupid today.

Big game this. Win here and we go clear second on the ladder with the Bunnies the latest to have to try and beat Melbourne in Melbourne on Anzac Day straight after us.

Winning here gives us a buffer. We CANNOT not show up tonight. This has to be the game we take our defence to another level and grind the Knights whilst our attack has to click.

This will be won and lost in the forwards and in the lack of errors. Id like to get on top of these guys as fast as possible and squeeze. If the knights keep it tight, they’ll believe they can win.

This game is about our attitude and our desire to go deep into the comp this year. I expect a professional and ultimately ruthless performance by a team who know that by being only a couple of clicks off will result in a loss.

Give the knights nothing. Let Moses rip up the joint like he is the Tigers.

Let’s win with a decent buffer and go 5 and 2. Time to get back to a positive points differential (f$&k you Melbourne by the way)

Winning tonight means a good weekend ahead. Don’t let me down.

Jeeze the stakes have risen for me significantly for this game. Whilst bantering with the Mrs, she's promised me a bit of action if 'number 11 for the Warriors' scores a try tonight.

I'm gunna need a few of you guys to cross your fingers and toes for me

I'd keep her away from Mt Smart, mate.

Heard that Lekas a bit of a smooth operator...

Should've been 4!

Probably 5. The two incidents were Sitili's lifted knee and Burtons shoulder to Billy Walter's head. Agree with the earlier post that Monty's was rubbish though and simply a reaction to not binning Sitili moments earlier.

 

[Po11um]

Warriors get the two points with no or minimal injuries pls

 

[regenerated borg]

Hope Webbys in their heads to see out the pre game ANZAC formalities...

Then forget it, get into game mode and focus on getting 2 comp pts...
