Form suggest warriors but don't they have some epic losing rate in games that kick off 9:30 or later NZ time?

Canberra in a tight one

Yeah, they did have a pretty strong victory last year against the Dragons (so conquered both their Dragons and late NZ-time game hoodoos that night), but I had gone through their late game record via Rugby League Project on that game day thread as below (and checked the games since) showing we don't do well that late at night...


"Also we are playing at 10pm NZ time on Friday, which doesn't bode well for the Warriors either. Was having a look at rleagueproject season summaries earlier, over the last 10.5 seasons (2013-present) we've only won 3/22 games where our games start 9pm or later NZ time (7 of those losses are the annual Melbourne ANZAC fun times)."


Looking at rleagueproject game summaries from that game onwards, we've only had another 3x games after 9pm NZT which actually surprises me (the big win over Dragons above comment was worried about, then Brisbane semi and Melbourne R2 loss this year), so record in late games is now 4/25 in last 11.5 seasons!

 

[Saxon]

Warriors on average score more and concede less than the Raiders.

This game is going to come down to who the ref fists harder.

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

Flip a coin on this one.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Warriors on average score more and concede less than the Raiders.

This game is going to come down to who the ref fists harder.

Sadly this last line is the criteria for way too many games now.
