Gameday - Rd17 Warriors v Sharks

[nswarrior]

It’s been cold and wet the last couple of days in Sydney although clearing slightly today.

This will be a tough one with Harris and Townsend. Walsh is back and will need to help our halves with kicks and some plays.

With Lodge in the team we have a chance to win the forward battle

Amazingly our season isn’t over if we can win this one.

Go Warriors!!!

Hopefully no late pull outs from the line up otherwise not a bad team all things considered.....

Agree - I thought Nikorima was on his way out. If he plays we have a better chance

yeah and then it comes down to which Nikorima turns up .......running Nikorima and I reckon we win comfortably....optimism? denial? blind faith? Who cares...Go the Warriors!!

A rare one for me, watching at home on TV! The excitement's palpable!

It's a long off-season.

 

[nswarrior]

A little bit of sun in Sydney atm - really looking forward to this one

 

[Blair]

To give us a glimmer of hope for the rest of the season I feel we need to do more than just scrape by for a win, we need to it with some style, you know, make a mini-statement and the like.

Haha - when has that ever happened

I will be happy if we manage a win by 1 point but it’s always good to dream big

 

[nswarrior]

Murchie in for Evans on the bench - no other changes in the 17

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Final nail in the coffin to confirm season over.
So they might jag a win.

 

[nswarrior]

Wahoo - Walsh in fir the 1st try

 

[Blair]

Good start, but that doesn't mean much. We are the Warriors!

 

[Blair]

The biggest Warriors forward pack since...?

 

[nswarrior]

Good defence but 1 set too many on our own goalline

down 6-12

 

[Benek]

As usual, penalties, errors, and lack of execution letting us down.

 

[Blair]

That's no penalty by Lodge! What was he supposed to do? The player fell awkwardly into him, and low.

Now the Sharks look like they will score off the back of that, and they do.

12-6. Them.

 

[Blair]

Massive momentum changer, that Lodge non-penalty. It could even be the game.

18-6 now.

 

[Benek]

I reckon we look like we try to lose these games. One one bad thing happens and the whole team suddenly piles on the f**kups. We have this uncanny ability to build reverse momentum.

 

[nswarrior]

Solid 1st 20 mins but then the wheels fell off

still in it thought. If possession goes our way we could be right in it

 

[Blair]

So what if Walsh made all those mistakes that led to points? We shouldn't be in this position if there was commonsense re Lodge's contact with the head.

20-6, halftime.

Can we come back?
