Gameday - Warriors v Storm

[nswarrior]

Disappointing last 2 games after we started the season on fire. The team looked hesitant since Metcalf returned and we haven’t played as direct.

Melbourne are not the team they have been in prior years but have won plenty games f fire power in the backs and are have had 3 losses in a row. They will be fired up.

We can beat them if we dominate in the forwards as we did in the 1st 3 games. We need to end the losing streak.

No one picked Bulldogs over the Panthers so here’s to hoping we can also spring a surprise.

Go Warriors!!!

hate this timeslot, especially when its the storm.

It's the first game day this year to bring that familiar feeling of dread.

As Beave said in the team thread, Leka's the x-factor we'd ideally want in the latter stages, if the game was still winnable.

Good luck team, I won’t see it because I’m out for our final night at the speedway of the season. Hoping to see updates of a miracle and the 17 game drought broken

Looks like EIT is playing Cup, and Gannon, too, so...

Does that mean RTS to centre and AKP to debut? (With Leka back to backrow and Niukore to the bench)

9.30pm NZ kickoff time.
Would say the boys should be on the Redbulls, but we know the history with the club and those.

Sell out in Melbourne.
No AFL in town.
But not sure why fans of that game would show up.

Not sure many picked Raiders over Rabbits either.
But interesting stat of Bunnies lost last 5 there (about to be 6) and Raiders won their last 5 there.

Few interesting changes. Congrats to

Alofiana Khan-Pereira for his Warriors debut. RTS to centre and Halasima to 2nd row and Laban to the bench​

I like it

I almost picked it all, just not Laban to the bench

I'm stoked AKP has got his shot early and we're willing to chuck Roger off the wing.

Let’s Go Warriors!!!

Not good signs as TT loses the ball at half way, then we cop a pretty dodgy penalty

 

[vvvrulz]

Storm look surprisingly sloppy - Boyd is aware of what's on and sets Ali up, solid start from us!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Nice try by Leiataua off mistake by astom on halfway.

2-6 11mins

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Storm penalised on halfway.
Niukore with a great try off quick pass by Egan from dummy half.
Meanie shot out of line.

2-12 15mins

 

[Izz]

Have to keep us this intensity. No clocking off like we did against Tigers

 

[Izz]

And Ford error right on cue

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Ford loses ball on kick off!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Niukore fell off the tackle to easy there leaving Boyd to try to hold a bigger man.

8-12 19mins
