[janfin]

You can do it ….Just believe that you can .

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

I expect nothing less than win. Day game at mt smart should suit. Get it done, warriors.

Do not take a back step to this forward pack! You can drop games to Raiders, Storm, Broncos, and Panthers. But I can't handle dropping games to shit teams like they did last season.

In saying that, I really believe Boyd will do a fine job.

 

[kurgal]

I have a bad feeling about this one. Let's hope I'm proved wrong!

 

[Ref]

Boyd to gave one of the great Warrior debuts.
To unleash Leka, Laban and Demi.
Warriors 28-10

 

[Tohu’s_Knees]

Battle of the middles is going to be an interesting battle today. Might just be the deciding factor.

JFH, Ford and Clark vs May, Pole and Twal.

Ford and May could cancel each other out.
Pole had a pretty good game against us last time.
JFH needs a big one here imo.
Clark should be able to get over Twal.

Hopefully Boyd brings his best kicking game

 

[3rdstriker]

We started the season very well, but injuries have taken their toll big time.
A big change to our spine losing charnze and Metcalf is huge, this mid point in the season it looks like some other teams have caught up and surpassed us.
The way the Tigers clicked last round i could see them exploiting us if we are to get the win we will need better discipline and D.

 

[Zaggo]

Excited to see the women play, hopefully get a decent turnout for them. I'll certainly be there.

The Tigers have a couple of talented blokes but a lot of deadset spuds. If we can't win this one comfortably at home we're in trouble.

 

[Noitall]

All the best to Tanah Boyd today. Metcalf had his critics who finally were proven wrong with the teams victories and his leading dally m votes. Rest of the comp and media are writing us off so plenty to play for for Boyd. His wife said in his jersey presentation that he backed himself to come over and make a go of it and today is his opportunity

 

[Bluecat]

Warriors 12 and under.
The Tigers will be looking at this is one they can win if they get it right. Barney, Charnze, and Luke are a quarter of our starting team and we're going to miss them. We will have to play well. But we don't have to be perfect just better than the Tigers.
Congratulations to Boyd starting today. Hope it is one to remember for all the right reasons

 

[Barzak]

Really interested to see what this team does with a half like Boyd. I’m highly optimistic. I think with our injuries a game managing halfback with a good kicking game could be exactly what we need. I also think we’ll see the benefit of Andrew Websters coaching and his ability to get players to new levels. I’m not saying Boyd turns into Cooper Cronk but maybe an off brand Cronk. Who wouldn’t want that.

13+ Wahs. Tigers are mud. Terrel May might be the most overrated player going round atm. Solid platform from the forwards and Tanah kicks the Tigers to the shadow realm. Tuapiki with a double off support play from our youngsters and Boyd 6/6.

 

[3rdstriker]

Mustn't forget a big congratulations to Byod today he's really earnt his Gallop hopefully he comes out full steaming but doesn't overplay his hand

 

[The Undertaker]

We will destroy the tigers today. I have a feeling that it will be a break out performance. A full month has passed since we won, and we haven’t won at mount smart since 19th April.

Read that again. We have not won at home at Go Media since 19th April when we beat Brisbane with the Metcalf penalty at the death. Almost 3 months. That’s insane.

We haven’t sung the team song at home for a long, long time.

After being beaten up the last two weeks through poor performances (let’s be honest) we need to win this badly for our confidence and to keep a gap between us and the chasing pack.

I see a break out performance for Boyd at half - he’s bloody ready and I think he will smash it today. I also see a breakout game for our forwards who have been off the last few weeks. In particular, JFH and Marata will come out determined.

The Tigers have their own turmoil going on and will be determined to win. We beat then and we effectively kill them off for 2025.

I expect to see this team reassert dominance and take back what is ours at home.

Time we sung the song again at home.

 

[Po11um]

Warriors need to get the 2 points or top4 spot will be looking a bit precarious

 

[Adamnz support]

I know a lot of the chat is around our 7 but man I’m keen to see how the full back switch goes. CNK is a work horse but TT offers us a spark on attack that we haven’t had. This one should be a good game. Hope we bring home the chocolates.

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Read that again. We have not won at home at Go Media since 19th April when we beat Brisbane with the Metcalf penalty at the death. Almost 3 months. That’s insane.

Yeah that is pretty crazy.

Whats more insane is probably the draw. We've only had 2 home games in that time, meanwhile Bronco's have had 6!

A few saying Fish needs to step it up, but i dont think so. Fish will do what he does, there's not much difference between his best and worst (he very rarely puts in a poor effort tbh), its the supporting cast that needs to lift.....Ford and Niukore particulary who were very poor last match.....if their on song and we hunt as a pack then im confident we'll get the job done at home.

Hoping to see Boyd test Turuva out positionally at fullback today.....sense there's an oppertunity there and Boyd has the kicking game to exploit it......good luck to the Webster clone (dude could be his son....spitting image)

 

[Roadrunner]

Time to start a winning run and show we are the real deal for 2025

 

[snake77]

The bye weekends are usually a nice break. Been down to the Bay of Plenty and back a few times, plus travelling around the Bay for work and some family funerals. Nice not having to schedule my travels around the games.

After a two week break it's nice to have a game to look forward to. Our byes are all done and we now have the run home.

Two weeks to get some rest and get some training in. Plenty of motivation to turn around the last two losses. Let's hope we are back on the winning side again.

 

[Stalefish540]

Really need a win, but not sure what to think as this team seems to still have a Piña colada in one hand after every single bye under Webby.

It's extremely frustrating, need to sort that out it's not good enough given how consistent it's been.

 

[j_p]

I'll be out on the road today, what's the best place to listen? Thanks in advance.
