2018 R25 Fri - Warriors 20-16 Raiders @ Mt Smart

[sup42]

There is no escaping Mannering mania this week in the shaky Isles.

Rugby League is a very poor cousin here to the Union crowd...to see the All Blacks do a twiter shout out to Capt Mannering was a first in my life time...you will see the Warriors players go mental.

Good luck Raiders, I think the Raiders will play their game of the season, and I think they will encounter a Warriors side playing its game of two decades.

This will be epic.

 

[Smack]

A good game for the warriors before the semis

 

[Leber]

Just when we get a roll on, now Gavet is out.

That leaves NO props on the bench.

Plus it's pissing down.

The chance of a high scoring win to get a home semi is evaporating.

Night games in NZ are never a spectacle, should’ve been the first Sat or Sunday game

Passing shower mate. It'll stop raining in the next hour or so...Game is still some time away. I'm 40 mins away and it's mint here.

Bloody hope so. I live ten min away from the stadium and its bucketing down.

For sure there's some rain clouds out east bro, but West looks good. Classic Friday night for league in Penrose = showers clearing and slippery under foot with a decent crowd.

Throw out the form guide - Raiders to win.

 

[Leber]

I have a Simon head.

Life is now complete

This is The Warriors and Canberra, when did form ever come into it?

 

[The Pa Kid]

Iosia Soliola just spoke so graciously about Simon on SkyTV NZ. Classy

 

[lockyno1]

Wonderful ceremony

Teams are competing for The Ruben Wiki Tiki

 

[Grapple]

Good on ya, Simon. 32 years and 300 games.

What a show for Mannering. Good player, great bloke. I hope they get the win for him.

 

[roostersrule2]

Mannering, fantastic career, great player

Cotric looks like he has finally caught the Raiders wackiness.

 

[Timbo]

Are the lights all on? It looks very dim.

 

[skeepe]

Guess the knock back doesn’t exist anymore.

 

[ram raid]
