[Leber]

No Egan will be hard but we should have too many points for them. Especially at home.

us by 12.

 

[Floodwaters]

Cowboys by 34

 

[GongPanther]

Warriors by 28-16.

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

We are pure shite at the moment .
Warriors 26-14

 

[Leber]

Cant believe Kosi is keeping DWZ out. First poor decision made by Webster.

 

[This Year?]

The Warriors are the feel good story of 2023.
Go the bro's

 

[Someone2]

Cows by 8

Honestly what happened to the Cowboys? I was expecting them to strong as last year this year

 

[Meth]

DWZ in, Vailea out.

 

[mozza91]

Cronk just butchering the English language again.

 

[Meth]

It seems as if Vailea has just been dropped. He definitely was not at his best yesterday, but I'd still say that's a questionable decision from Webster.

 

[Leber]

playing at home, against a team 8 spots below us on the ladder and we are outsiders.

just shows how close this comp is.

No mate, it shows what the bookmakers think.

They get it wrong on individual contests a whole lot. Long term, not so much. Punters are the other way around.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

I hate that DWZ has come in for Vailea. It’s arguable whether it even improves the team, because DWZ comes in for a decent winger in Montoya, and Montoya is then out of position replacing Vailea. If DWZ replaces Kosi it’s a clear improvement. But then I am a Vailea stan and obviously Webster isn’t convinced

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

I actually like Kosi and always hope he does well but honestly I feel like it’s because he feels like a natural underdog because he’s simply not good enough

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

awesome crowd churr

 

[westerntiger]

Does Blocker do every Warriors game lol. Why don't Fox just use the Sky NZ feed

As bad as Blocker is (and he is bad), we're got Glen Larmer and Adam Blair

 

[Meth]

Great try
