09 :: R20 Sun :: Warriors 4 Dragons 29 @ Mt Smart

[Meth]

Too much is made of the Warriors being tough at home. This year, playing us in Auckland has been far from intimidating.

We beat Parramatta well.
Brisbane beat us convincingly.
We collapsed against Souths.
We pipped Sydney in extra time.
We got hammered by the Cowboys.
We beat Wests and Newcastle non-inspiringly.
We lost to a second string Bulldogs team.

We've won 50% at home. Hardly intimidating.

all of a sudden, nerves have jumped into me, of got a bad feeling about this one

 

[Southernsaint]

Is there anywhere I can stream audio of the game??

I'm logging on from Ireland and 2GB is giving me no love...

 

[redvscotty]

ABC maybe?

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Matt Cooper is out?

 

[Rovelli]

Warriors U20 lead the Dragons U20 14-6 with about 20 minutes left. Important match for them.

Cooper out, Stanley in- good for the Warriors

Ropati out, Ah Van in- good for the Warriors

26-6 Toyota Cup. 12 mins to go

Cooper out, Stanley in- good for the Warriors

Ropati out, Ah Van in- good for the Warriors

Meh cant agree with you there mate,

Ah Van is a safer option, but Ropati would have offered more to actually challange us

 

[Rovelli]

Typical Ropati:
- gets the ball down in the corner under the defensive attention of four Dragons, puts us 11-8 up
- only needs to catch the ball and he slides over in the same corner a few mintues later, would've put us 15-8 up with 10 minutes to play....but doesn't. We go on to lose the game.

Warriors win TC, an important victory over a solid Dragons outfit...stay in 7th.

hahaha that i can agree with you, Ah van would get the 1st one but would get the second one

I think you are thinking of the Jerome Ropati of previous years.

In 2009, Ah Van is much better than Jerome Ropati

 

[God-King Dean]

Apparently Cooper is out, Stanley in. Fien to the bench.

 

[Tipster]

yep Cooper is OUT

Jeremy Smith's return delayed as well until next week.

 

[Meth]

Good news. Dragons obviously haven't done their homework.

Hornby said 'Jones will be dangerous'. Not in the last five years mate...

 

[God-King Dean]

lol

 

[Meth]

Brown drops off the bench. If that's not sue to injury, Cleary is a moron. I am so sick of Lillyman

 

[Meth]

Try to Morris

Not sure why they looked at it so much- pretty clear cut

Locke's a better player than that spill suggests Saints' fans

4-0
