[Lance155]

Can someone enlighten me on the pre game beers situation tomorrow at around Ellerslie. Do you have to buy food to get a beer? No rules after 1pm?
Hoping to go somewhere from 12....

Everything open again after 1 pm

 

[Sam Wahpira]

After this game, we have a 10-day turnaround, and then the next 4 games after that (Knights, Roosters, Panthers, Dolphins) are all 7-day turnarounds every Sunday. Then rest, recuperate, and have a seize mentality for each week.

After that next bye, we should have (knock on wood) Marata, Bunty, all on deck... Lussick, Capewell and CHT should be back during that period also. I would target Knights game to rest SJ... we shall see!

 

[Completion Rate]

Correction, Agar said forearm to the throat, might have sustained some fratures, hope not. Laban's big chance to shine though.

Louis Anderson got me with one of those in a club game back in the day. Voice has dropped an octave since.

 

[CWC]

Is Capewell gonna be talking like Lockyer now?

 

[WarriorsForever]

Late mail: No changes for either team.

 

[tyrael]

Is there some video of Zyon Maiu’u getting his jersey like Laban did?

Player - Zyon Maiu'u

That's amazing - amazing we had the gumption to challenge it, the skill to present a good argument, and that the judiciary listened and responded - another piece of evidence towards the Warriors organisation having its shit together Yeah I wonder which Australian Lawyer the Warriors used...

[Brightman]

From my pov, all I want to see from Laban is more of the same

Screw that! I want to see Laban hit the short ball from SJ and score tries!!

The first thing with tomorrow is I hope the club nails the events around the ceremony and make it a big event to kick off the day. The fact we didn't have a game on ANZAC Day has always seemed like an NRL WTF. I have underline the NZ part of ANZAC Day as you often hear about some Australians being surprised we celebrate the day as well.

The Dragons vs Roosters game is always going to be locked in. The Storm to their credit have made the later game an event.

We can kick things off. We will be restricted to the day time but to be honest the 4pm time is the closest we can get to a traditional day game.

Let's hope they nail it and also the event works out better than last time we hosted an ANZAC Day.

 

[snake77]

On Laban he's got a great opportunity to start. Assuming the coaching staff keep it that way and don't do any later positional changes.

He got a debut in first grade a few weeks ago. Late in the game which would have been a case of get out there experience it. The following weeks he's had more minutes. One of them he got two stints on the field.

Now he can get some big minutes in.

The main thing is to do his defensive work, to his hit ups and when we are in the opposition 20 run his lines. Keep focused so he doesn't commit any unforced errors.

Let's hope we can nail this game.
Contrary to what others may think we don’t excel in the big ones.
Last one was a semi v. Broncos and that turned out to be shit

 

[Citygirl]

Coming up for the game tomorrow, excited and nervous at the same time.

Enjoy the experience.
Should be a doozy

 

[Boats n Hoes]

All the top halfbacks have a team for whatever reason they just dominate.

The Titans are SJs biatch

Im hoping that tradition continues

Excelled pretty well at the first home final in years.
It wasn't the big game that beat us in that semi, we were beaten by the far better team.

 

[Ref]

I think Webby realises we lacked variation and flair since the Souths game and also some unpredictability that Leiataua, Maiu and Laban could add.
Injuries may have also now forced his hand.
Leiataua and Pompey 18th and 19th men.
Be happy for Leiataua to swap with Roach.

Exactly . What I was saying we didn't aim up for a big game contrary to others who say we are up for the big games.
We were coming off a great season but failed in the important one.

I think we can cover for outside back injuries through other means, bit stuffed if a half or Egan goes down though hence the inclusion of Roache.

You are right but I don't see Roach or Egan as even adequate in the halves should SJ or TMM go down.
Might has well have a centre there with a running threat.
