[JamesRustle]

Warriors to get all the calls and whip the Broncos in a lop sided contest.

 

[Leber]

Haha this is the exact type of game that we tend to lose.

 

[nswarrior]

Warriors to win in a close one. We have a history of losing these types of games where we are favourites and there is a promising season ahead.

But this year is different. Go Warriors

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Warriors by 8. Origin and the NRL have completely f**ked us in the ass with no spit with this draw.

17 out of 24 games in Queensland. Yeah the NRL must really despise you.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Warriors have never played in Napier.

There record in NZ outside of Mt Smart Stadium is 9 wins and a draw from 32 games.

I find that surprising.

1/6 at Eden Park, Auckland
2/5 at Lancaster Park, Christchurch
0/1 at Otago
1/1 at Taupo
1/3 at Rugby League Park, Christchurch
4/11 with 1 draw at Wellington
0/4 at Waikato
0/1 at New Plymouth

Do the nsw teams play less than 17 in nsw?

 

[mozza91]

Do the nsw teams play less than 17 in nsw?

Well it is slightly different because there’s 10 teams that are based in NSW compared to 4 in Queensland. The Broncos have 14 games out of 24 in Brisbane. Add to that far more FTA coverage and invariably a weeks turnaround I don’t think the NRL is treating them too badly.

Gee that bad. Maybe we should move to taupo

 

[Fangs]

Interesting one.

No Egan or Walker for the Warriors. But Broncos have a number of outs. They still have their halves and plenty of match winners in the side however. I wonder what Kevvie will have the boys cook up this week.

If you are referring to Origin then the Broncos get two byes like most clubs. Before Origin 2 and 3.

The Eels, Dolphins, Warriors and Cowboys will only receive 1 bye during this period. So it looks like the Cowboys are the ones getting screwed in this instance.

How many games do you have in NSW this season?

Waaaaaaah!

 

[THE CHAMP]

How can you tell an origin game is coming up?

We're playing the warriors.

How many warriors players have been selected in origin?

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

17 out of 24 games in Queensland. Yeah the NRL must really despise you.

Fair go
you do realize there is a War going on .

 

[Someone2]

Warriors by 10

 

[Matiunz]

Think it’ll be close and wouldn’t be surprised at a Broncos win. Warriors record isn’t great in NZ outside of Auckland and yes Broncs are origin depleted but Warriors also have a number of Significant outs in Egan, Walker, TMM, Barnett ,Tevaga etc

 

[some11]

How many games do you have in NSW this season?

20 games in nsw
4 out of state

Pray for Newcastle. Those 2-3 hour bus trips must be hell.

While we have been dragged up to Darwin and now across to some nz backwater.

Pretty adverse stuff to be honest
