2018 R21 Sat - Dragons 12-18 Warriors @ WIN

[Life's Good]

Us in a scrappy game, only because it’s at home. This will then lead SuperCoach to declare we’re back on track(we’re not, by a long way).

I'm wondering what his excuse is for this week when the side plays poorly and / or loses.
He has written the book on excuses without taking responsibility for your own shortcomings.

For us to be anywhere near back on track, we have to put 30+ on them & keep them below 6. In saying that we'll win by 2 38-36. Regardless it's season over.

I don’t think he needs any excuses. Those who appointed & then extended him are content so there’s no pressure.

 

[Smack]

After the battering they gave us earlier, I'm hoping something inspires us to return the favor. Win or lose, I want to see effort, not bend over like we did for the rorters.

 

[TheDMC]

Dragons are unbeatable at home unless they lose. But this game they'll win in a canter. Dragons by 1.

Now your post makes sense.

 

[ed-grimley]

Maybe Saints, maybe Warriors. I dunno.

Is it still fine when the tries against come from kicks?

 

[Mr Angry]

This is a must win for the Warriors if they are to pose any threat this season.

Otherwise it is another year wjere they just cannot win after origin.

Yeah apparently they don't count. If we score off kicks that's ok though. He's got them all covered.

Where would we find 38 points? Dufty would need to touch the ball 100 times!

**Edit** If the field is 98 metres we can do it easy!

saints in this

Let's gone dragons.

 

[This Year?]

Game day and I'm not confident at all.
Congratulations Warriors.

All you Dragons fans are starting to sound like Canberra fans haha... Warriors really needed Harris back to help out that edge. Dragons will get the WIN.

 

[Evil_Mush]

Ha, the Dragons fans are sounding like us Warriors fans!! You do realise we have only ever beaten you away once (twice if you count Illawara in 96)? And our great away record this year has been sadly sullied by three heartless efforts (Storm, Panthers, Titans) so can't really hold onto that too much either now.

Given everyone seems to be back in standard write-off-the-Warriors mode (including our own fans... yet again) I hope we return to our season beginning defy-expectations mode just to screw with all the tipsters, and keep the Tigers at arms length.

I also hope we are just purposefully lulling everyone into a false sense of security so we can suddenly spring an amazing late run to the GF that will stunningly surpass our previous finals efforts.

Congrats Dragons

 

[Vic Mackey]

Surprised Saints are such heavy favorites. They’ve been down for a while now. Who knows with the warriors, hardest team in the comp to tip. Think saints get the job done by about 8.

As long as the Warriors make the finals they'll be alright. They are not good with consistency but they do show up for the big ones.
As someone that's seen them steal it live from Melbourne twice (once at the graveyard and once at AAMI against Melbourne) they do have a tendency to show up in do or die. Whether that means a win or not i'm not sure... but i'm sure they won't be soft come finals. Something to hold onto as a Warriors fan, perhaps.
