Will be interesting to see how Newy shape up physically after that. If Johnson is back, I think the Auckland crowd could be enough to see the Warriors through

 

[Leber]

Not that thrilled at playing the Knights going for 11 straight, but hopefully that game took it out of them.

Glad its not at Eden park.

 

[Apey]

We got humbled today and we won't be favourites let alone heavy favourites for this game. Should be a good one.

 

[mozza91]

That game today would’ve taken heaps out of us. Hopefully Gamble is right we’re no chance without both our halves.

Hopefully we bring our form from the previous 9 weeks and not today.

 

[wittyfan]

Knights by 6.

 

[sportsnut]

Warriors at home.

 

[BunniesMan]

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.

Any reason why this is a 6pm NZ start?

Probably something as simple as making sure it doesn’t clash with Channel 9 news.

Wahs need to take full advantage of these covid rewards from the nrl as they won't get them again next year.

Winner wins by 2.

Don't worry, Warriors fans feel exactly the same way (hopefully we find the form that got us into top 4, not the last few games of defensive lapses and errors giving away possession).

Really sweating on Johnson being able to play (both in selection and on-field mobility), please rugby league gods don't pull the rug at this point of the season!

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

 

[skeepe]

Warriors 66-0.

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

I think its great how you take the losses so well.

So i am guessing you went for the Chooks in 2002 then when they beat the warriors in the GF that year.

Thats a shame if it goes to Extra time again the poor bastards will have to wait to 6:30pm to start the news.

[Victoire]

Let's gone Wahs

Good thing you posted this because nobody in here would know
