Warriors missed Flegg finals​

 

[sup42]

Hardest game to pick of the lot, two unpredictable teams in form.

I have the Raiders as favorites.

The Warriors have made their finals game, they will probably clock off.

 

[Valheru]

Wouldn't surprise me to see the warriors muff this and miss a home final.

Hope it doesn't happen as the first warriors home final in 10 years would be quite a sight.

 

[One Warrior]

Wouldn't surprise me to see the warriors muff this and miss a home final.

Hope it doesn't happen as the first warriors home final in 10 years would be quite a sight.

It’s also Simon Mannering’s 300th game, so that is something else to play for.

 

[Leber]

On paper, we should flog them.

In reality it's a different kettle of fish.

 

[Das Gupta]

Raiders.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Warriors to win by 18 to a home final. Because f&@k brisbane

 

[GongPanther]

Warriors by 34-12. A walk in the park.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Warriors generally lose just as everything seems to be going well. Raiders by 4

 

[blaza88z]

I am sure the processes are well and truly in the mix for a comfortable Warriors win

Which is why I have tipped the Raiders

 

[Evil_Mush]

I'm hoping to break my streak of dismal Mt Smart matches in attendance, after witnessing the Panthers slicing through us last year and the Rabbitohs flogging the year before and a terribly hungover Manly game a few years back which were all not fun times.

Will be a sellout though which will be a first for me at any Warriors game, wooo!

 

[Leber]

Nearly a Sellout.

Will be in a day or 2.

 

[Rhyno]

Warriors by 24

 

[Miller was a legend]

Warriors by 24

Come off it Rhyno, no way Canberra get this

 

[Leber]

Warriors by 24

Pretty disrespectful for you to do this to mannering on his special night rhyno.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Warriors by 4.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Warriors to win by 18 to a home final. Because f&@k brisbane

Keep that salt handy, the chips are in the fryer.

If this were in Canberra, I'd give the baby shit a massive chance. But it's not, so the Warriors will get home by a slim margin.

 

[OzDragon]

Potential to be game of the round if both teams play their wacky styles of footy. But Warriors to much to play for.

 

[TheFrog]

I think the Raiders will ask questions of the Warriors that we weren't able to last game. The Raiders seem to play better with nothing to play for.

 

[Grapple]

I've changed my avatar in honour of Mr Reliable. Everyone else should do the same.

Warriors will smoke Canberra and go charging into the finals behind the sold out home crowd. Canberra just to be Canberra.

Warriors 38
Canberra 12
