UP THE WAHS!!!

 

[Brightman]

Looking for a great start to the weekend and getting the season on the right track, show some pride boys and send the manly mob home sour..

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Looking forward to what they do for the legendary King Tohu!

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

Warriors by 14

 

[janfin]

You can do this…as they always say Dreams are Free .Warriors by 6

 

[Bluecat]

Hoping for a big turn around tonight. Webster to motivate the team and redemption for the players so that we're all back on track. The doom and gloom and gallows humour on the forum is a lot of fun but I would love to see a return to optimism.
And I need to organise a viewing platform and Sky Sport is going up again. Not sure if I want to pay to watch another bottom 4 season so a good result will help that decision.
I know the odds but I can't pick Manly. Warriors to win a tight one

 

[3rdstriker]

Wish there was an option for manly 30+, in all seriousness i guess all we have ever required is effort in the loss, last week we have to flush that performance and rise up.
The answer isn't sacking another coach but if we do lose by alot the jury is going to be out on everybody especiallyto clear the deadwood.

 

[Woofa]

I think the club needs a clear out, back youth now and clear out assistant coaching staff too. Off to game tonight almost knowing we lose... and also knowing we are locked in to go to every game. Don't mind a loss if part of a bigger plan (developing youth) but a few players are just not NRL standard anymore.

 

[Old Sid]

Root'n for a confident win by 6-10 points and a springboard for the season, but fear a close loss which achieves nothing much, just similar struggles next week with the same team and potentially a 3-0 against start and facing the Storm.

 

[Kaos A.D.]

We just need to stay in the fight, try to move them around, tire them out, try something different like how Canberra kept the ball alive, and hope all the stars align... Man I hope we squeeze out a win

 

[Zaggo]

I've certainly seen worse Warriors teams beat better opposition, but I'm not massively confident.

DCE is an absolute wizard and it's incredible how he has complete control over the game.

I want to see our forwards going toe to toe with their big boys and dealing some punishment.

Nothing to worry about with DCE. His neck will weigh him down tonight

I really hope Jazz has lit a fuse for this one. That with playing for Tohu gives us some extra motivation to really put in a big shift. Jazz even said he thinks he went too far and I don’t think Walker seems to be treating it as lighthearted, I expect to see some fireworks between the two

I think we see Barney get off the line and put one on Jazz early to set the tone for his match.

 

[Beastmode]

Hope for the best
Warriors by 1

Think the worst
Manly by 50
Jazz a hat trick

 

[Noitall]

If it’s Barnett, hopefully he isn’t playing at lock. Either Clark or Walker, preferably Walker off the bench

 

[Blain]

I think we'll have a far stronger outing tonight. Not much has been said by then team over the past week, so they simply have to turn up and show us that Vegas performance was a one off, otherwise knives will be coming out for all.

I'm expecting a tight loss with DCE kicking game the difference, but we simply have to show some attack and upside.

 

[Teets]

If the teams as fussed about Jazz as some of these posters it'll be long night. Much bigger concerns to worry about than a hooker who isn't much of a run threat.

I mean it would be fun to get him giving away penalties and dropping the ball.

 

[Woofa]

Re Jazz, he 100% would have to be a niggle target.. evryone push his head down a bit longer, F with his head.. would be a huge advantage. Big Jazz fan BTW.. plays with heart.
