[I Bleed Maroon]

Could be a great game if both sides continue to show up. Warriors will have their tails up after snatching victory so they will probably get up.

 

[Valheru]

2 feel good stories of 2023.

Think this will be tight and warriors will have their turn on the wrong side of a thriller this week.

 

[wittyfan]

Knights have been plucky and courageous so far and can get a win here. Knights by 6.

 

[Apey]

Warriors, we might have Crossland as starting 5/8.

 

[Leber]

Why are we playing these guys again already? What a dumb draw.

 

[NewySteel]

Why are we playing these guys again already? What a dumb draw.

The draw over the last few years has thrown up quirks like this too often

I don’t expect to play all 16 other teams before having a same-season rematch, but only playing 4 different teams before a rematch is ridiculous

 

[mozza91]

Both teams have been a lot better than expected so far and are coming off tough Golden Point games.

Should be a really good contest, hopefully we can get up and return the favour from Round 1.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Why are we playing these guys again already? What a dumb draw.

As a Warriors fan I’m more annoyed that six rounds in we’ll have only played one game at Mt Smart and one in Wellington- haven’t we been on the road enough in the last 3 seasons?

Yea that’s pretty shit too. Plus the magic round is a “home” game for us isn’t it?

 

[GongPanther]

Warriors are looking just a bit more of a well coached side. I know Newcastle is going very well, but the Warriors are not really playing away any more when you think about the last few years. Warriors by 28-16.

 

[footy75]

Another tough one to pick. Will be interesting.

[Someone2]

Warriors by 12

 

[This Year?]

I have no idea who to tip.

 

[Leber]

Harris back tips the balance in our favour.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Warriors by 20.

 

[TheDMC]

I have no idea who to tip.

You would be crazy to tip Newcastle the way the Warriors are going.

But you would be mad as a snake to ever tip the Warriors.

So yeah, toss a coin.

 

[Leber]

No Harris is a big loss for us.

 

[mongoose]

warriors can go top of the ladder if they win by 52
