2023 SF Sat - Warriors 40-10 Newcastle @ Go Media

[THE CHAMP]

Unlike the other game the winner of this is cannon fodder

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Warriors 66-0.

wonder which player Gamble will falsely accuse of a bite this week to fire up the troglodytes.

 

[This Year?]

What a shame one of these teams has to lose.
The Knights run has been so much fun to watch and has given their downtrodden fans something to smile about.
The Warriors resurgence is huge for the game and has breathed fresh air back into the competition.
3 seasons ago this could have been a spoon battle.

I thought the Knights were shown up yesterday.

They won't have a team that can't play in the 2nd half and a home crowd to get them through. Warriors 13+ with or without Johnson

 

[Apey]

We won't make that many errors again. We will be without Hastings and Fitzgibbon I think and I expect SJ to play. No pressure on us in this game.

Knights by 12.

 

[lockyno1]

Least Joey can have his on air funeral this week that could be entertaining

 

[Evil_Mush]

Got my ticket woop woop, now just gotta figure out how to get from Welly to Akl by spending as little money as possible

Saw us beat the Knights in person in our first home game in Welly to kick off the year, hopefully can bookend the season by seeing us beat the Knights again in our last game in NZ

 

[Vic Mackey]

If SJ plays think NZ do this and probably do it well. Wahs by 14.

 

[Nealo 12]

Let's gone Wahs

The biggest loser out of this game will be the English language !

 

[perverse]

I think the Knights clearly let the occasion get to them a bit against the Raiders and won't play that sloppily again with a lot less pressure on them. I don't know if the improvement will be enough to account for the Warriors at home.

This should be a real cracker. The winner is the only good guy left in the finals series and acquires all the bandwagon neutral supporters.

 

[Fangs]

Can't see the Warriors losing this one.

 

[Haffa]

Also keeps it away from the AFL, since GWS is playing at 7.40pm.

The whats?

 

[mozza91]

GWS is still a thing? The AFL must love losing money hand over fist.

 

[Wb1234]

Canberra was the better side yesterday

warriors by 20 unless they choke massively

 

[Woody90]

Will be interesting to see how the Warriors go with the pressure this week. This will be their week. Massive home crowd, pressure of expectations and not many will give the Knights much of a chance. Knights were under that pressure last week and didn’t handle it well (although tbf still won).

Will still tip the Warriors being at home and having the extra recovery day and SJ likely back with Hastings out, but it won’t be as easy for them as many are making out. Knights have literally nothing to lose here and no pressure and will likely put together more than 15 minutes of good football unlike yesterday. I’ve heard a lot of people say the Knights have been “found out” yesterday as being a poor side, but that’s really shortsighted IMO. They’ve won 10 weeks straight and scored more tries than any other team. Their run is likely ending, but they definitely won’t be pushovers.

Such a shame both sides can’t go through. They’ve both had amazing seasons considering where they’ve come from and are way more fun to watch than Roosters or Storm.

How about we just let both these sides go through to the prelims and kick the other 2 soulless organisations playing on Friday out?

Agreed. I will be rooting for the winner of this game. Might even cheer for them too.

 

[Leber]

Go Newcastle. The whole country is behind you. Kick the foreign club out of the finals and remind them this is Australia's competition and they are just a guest.

Who are Souths playing this week?

But the winner plays the Broncos

I think it's quite short sighted to take a team's last game and assume that will automatically carry over to the next week. 1 bad game (and it was bad) suddenly negates a 10 game win streak?

Similarly I doubt the Warriors think that Panthers game reflects their true abilities either...
