Gameday - Warriors v Tigers

[nswarrior]

A huge game for us after the 2 losses. We haven’t been the same since we lost Barnett and now playing without Metcalf. An amazing season won’t be the same with those injuries.

We can still make the top 4 and need to win this. Ford starting at prop is a great move in my opinion, we have struggled upfront without Barnett esp at the start. Ford can provide more metres

Boyd has been going great in reserves, has a long kicking game so let’s see what he can do.

Go Warriors!!

Looks to be played in the wet.
Who has the bigger forwards and slippery backs?

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Well if we’re literally talking big forwards and fast backs, we’re close to the worst team in the comp.

I do however think that even without Barnett, I’d hope our forwards can outmuscle the Tigers.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Its more who has the better kick and chase in the wet.
Luai probably has the edge in that department

 

[Blair]

In a worrying development, a Tigers guy at work has tipped them. He's so negative, he never does that.

This is serious.

 

[Big Marn]

Roach with his first "big Warriors pack". Everybody drink.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Cheers Dallin

 

[Blair]

I'm over the road watching at the club, so I'll share your pain re Roach.

Dallin doing Dallin things, 4-0

And they're peppering his wing with bombs. So far so good there.

 

[vvvrulz]

Boyd and Taine combined nicely there

 

[Blair]

We need a good set after points to set the tone in our favour.

6-4, us.

 

[Blair]

Nuikore should be recovered from that awful head clash against Penrith. So I'm expecting good things from him today.

We need his muscle.

 

[Blair]

Sweet move close to the line, too easy for Chanel to score!

12-4, twenty mins in.

 

[Blair]

Not sure why they're targeting Dallin with bombs as he's generally safe and brings the ball back with interest.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Wet conditions starting to tell with a drop on both sides.

To be fair with RTS and Tauapiki the other options it’s probably going to be the same result no matter who they target

 

[Blair]

Bloody Harris, that Tigers try's on him. Doueihi in out wide.

12-8, still us. If Wests score next we're in trouble, as momentum has shifted.

So that's Dallin making up for the try he let in. Will he come out on top of that ledger?

16-8, halftime.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

TMM on, DWZ in

halves aren’t missing a beat at least.
Poor Rocco, injury curse looks like it’s continuing

 

[nswarrior]

Great energy and aggression. Discipline lacking a bit which is keeping Tigers in it.

Happy to be leading at half time but big second half coming up.

Sich a Shane to see Berry injured again
