Pick Your Team Warriors vs Penrith [Finals , Week 1 2025]

The way I see is that it's about time these guys owe us fans a god damn good performance and a win. I'm assuming Saturday night will be a sell out like most home games. They have been playing shit at home but this game is a different beast. The fans who attend the games deserve better. The team should be booed if they don't perform.

The All Blacks coverage clash is a bigger deal than us 1 eyed supporters probably see. The Warriors have not been a good entertainment product in the last couple of months, they are painful to watch. Meanwhile Boks contests have an aura of mystery after they have left Super Rugby, they are the best team in the world, and it is epic beating them.

I'm a non-rugby watcher (including All Blacks), but I tuned into Saturday's test match..
 
Bad timing for the Wahs and its shame, there’ll be next to no bandwagoners at the game (predominantly Millennials & Gen Z) they follow the crowd and hype and this weeks flavour is the ABs. I don’t give a damn about Union or the ABs (I hope The Springboks win) so I’m banking on loud passionate Warriors fans to lift the boys for a win…..f**k Penrith & f**k the ABs

Can’t wait to read the news Sunday morning

See Brent Read on nrl 360 day he bumped into Andrew Webster and Webster said he’s just gotten through showing the boys footage of Read saying we can’t win. Looks like we going with siege mentality
Geez, lord help us if that's all Webby's got.

Be better off showing them games from earlier in the season where we were defending our line and not dropping the ball so much.

People writing you off is more motivation than watching copy and paste footage I reckon. Hopefully the Warriors have said Jett can’t go home for Christmas if we lose and Ivan doesn’t like the sound of that with his wife saying she wants the whole family there for Christmas this year

You never beat the Boks mate. You just score more points than them

Rassie Erasmus know how to deal with a side that lost the first test. Bugger this giving them another chance 😂

Seen a lot of sentiment of the Warriors making up the numbers, us overachieving… stuff all that noise

We are here, we earned our spot and I don’t give a flying frog who we’re facing; I’m getting on sloshed on Fritz Wieners, Lion Red, V energy (FULL SUGAR!!) and I’m going to cheer the house down. Win or lose, I loved the ride. LESSSSGGGGOOOOOOOOOO
 
Webby ball is simply the best defensive and low error players keeping the opposition out. Then get a few individualistic tries to outscore them.

Therefore we need our best defensive/ low error players and 3-4 attacking x-factor players.

Early season our x-factor was Metcalf, Leka, Lauatua and Tuaupiki. They drew defenders, stressed the opposition line, created gaps and put fatigue into the opposition.

Who are those x-factor players now? Why do we have statistically inferior defenders playing come playoffs?

That’s why bottom 8 teams have been beating us and why we need to go back to the template that won come finals.

With all due respect to TSS, his high minutes, offloads, breaks, etc are irrelevant because Bunty will statistically dominate 19/20 tackles and TSS will only stop 18/20. That could be the difference between losing by a try…
TSS doesn’t play big minutes, or break the line or offload lol. I really have no idea how he gets picked

He’s practically named a whole new team. He’s even Dropped Eben Etzebeth, who will go down as one of the best forwards of all time.
Take notes Webby, gotta keep players accountable
 
All this pile on from the media to the league is great for team motivation lol, wow. Don’t forget Queensland destroyed NSW with raw emotions just this year. Human emotions can make a huge difference

For fans who wanna watch both just mute the TV and go to sky schedule to pick “watch from start” The 2 games vs reigning 2 time world champions and then a hot Australian side challenging for Bledisloe Cup is box office and could end Razor’s tenure or skyrocket to a World Cup in 2 years, that’s the drama they have going this month where the Warriors are lacking without SJ/post Covid/dally m Dallin etc
 
I remember jamie joseph (highlanders super rugby) coach walked in before the final telling them “all good jist here tk make numbers up”. Got them all fired up.

So webby doing that isnt a bad thing.

Keep playing it on loop during training and crank it up

Just watched SJ’s speech. Wow did not inspire confidence 😂 “something’s brewing the way they’ve playing” (paraphrase) 😂 Sorry SJ I’ve seen too much, I see things 😭

Lucky NRL and Fox doing their best to fire the boys up today

Ivan and his wife better start thinking of extending the living room.

One of those looooooooong viking tables with Ivan and Nathan sent to the bottom end and Jett at the top end with the rest of the family.

Always thought Matty Johns should have exploited the Cleary family dynamics for skits more.....

Wonder if Jett's better at being Nathan than Nathan is? Could offer a fair few clues this week.

Or just allow Warriors players the old sledge that, like got thrown at Mark Waugh a fair few times, Nathan's not even the best league player in his own family.
