Warriors by 12...

 

[One Warrior]

Warriors by 12...

Once again I hope you are right, key is stopping Uate.

 

[Jobdog]

Once again I hope you are right, key is stopping Uate.

And judging from yesterday - and Gidley, and Mullen and De Gois

 

[Fast Eddie]

Mullen and De Gois I can't say I'm too concerned about.

 

[Timmah]

Vuna was more lethal than Uate yesterday, although that may be due to the fact our right-side defence was more like a sieve.

 

[ozbash]

And judging from yesterday - and Gidley, and Mullen and De Gois

who ?

 

[Noname36]

Mullen and De Gois I can't say I'm too concerned about.

I hope the Warriors show up with that attitude...because they'll get smacked if they do.

Saying that though I'm still going to tip the Warriors. The Knights really struggle playing too far away from home.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Yup Im sure they will turn up with the same attitude as a fan who has no bearing on the game.

 

[perverse]

Mullen and De Gois I can't say I'm too concerned about.

you should be.

who ?

you'll find out, soon enough.

as for my thoughts on the game, we've definitely turned the corner attitude wise... but we had turned a bit of a corner before the raiders game too and got obliterated. if there are 2 away games a year that i just cringe at when they roll around it's Canberra and the Warriors. we never travel well to either, and most often put our worst foot forward. we'll find out a lot about the Knights in this match. if Mullen, De Gois, Uate and Maddog can maintain the rage then we will be in with a good shot.

a loss will sink us completely. our boys seem to be loving the pressure at the moment... but i hope they can maintain their intensity. if they can, we'll have a really good crack at this one.

 

[Rovelli]

Warriors have won 7 of the past 10 against Newcastle, with home wins against them in each of the last four years. The last time Newcastle won here was in late 2005. Newcastle is no longer our bogey team, after Jo E used to carve us up time after time.

A win and we make a giant leap towards being back rightfully in the finals.

 

[Eelectrica]

Gotta pick the Warriors at home. But Newcastle definately in with a good shot.

 

[CMUX]

Warrior to win by 13+ in this one. Newcastle have played well over the last fortnight but I reckon the warriors will be more desperate at home here.

[shane1970]

HUGE injury concern over Mullen - If he plays I reckon the Knights can scrape home but if he's missing then I believe the nail finally enters our coffin for the year

 

[Aaron_sfas]

GO KNITES!!! rabbitohs have been having the worst run imaginable with injuries and other matches not going our way. i hope the novacastri can do us a favour here

 

[lomz1]

New Zealand Warriors by 18

 

[Noname36]

Mullen out, Dureau in.

This could get ugly.

 

[Cheops]

lol I hope Dureau plays as well for the Warriors as he did last time we played you guys ;-)

 

[Rovelli]

A big loss for the Novocastrians, since Mullen had been playing very well of late. Dureau will have to be on his game after a shocker the last time the two teams met.

Still, as a Warriors fan you have to be nervous about this week. But it could all blow over and we sit in a decent position heading into the final three rounds of the regular season.
