Another Monday, so we roll into another Round of Footy. It's a bit of a different feeling heading into this one as this time, we're coming off a win! We take on the Warriors in a Saturday afternoon game at Accor in what should be a cracker of a day!
Really looking forward to this one! Playing the Warriors is always a big game for me personally as being a kiwi and living in NZ, you're constantly surrounded by it. Most of my mates, including my best matea are Warriors fans, so it's always personal. This one will be even bigger, and it'll be a bit of a different build up as I'm still over here in Sydney and will be going to this game too, so I won't be constantly hounded by NZ fans all week ahaha.
We've certainly had the wood on them over the years, winning 14 of our last 15 games against them or something like that. The game we played them over in NZ last year was kind of similar to this one coming in. We were down on our luck, but really lifted to completely dominate them in a bit of a surprise performance. Let's hope for similar this week.
It's certainly not going to be easy, potentially even tougher than last time we played. I think the Warriors are a great side and a genuine Premiership contender this year so we're really up against it. They have a massive forward pack, classy halves and a big, fast and skillful backline. They'll be very hard to contain, and we'll come into this one as massive underdogs.
However, what I want to see us do this week is prove that Good Friday was hopefully a bit of a turning point and see us back it up with a good performance on Saturday afternoon. If we really lift, complete like we did against the Dogs, tidy up our discipline in defence, and show the sort of grit we did last week on our own line, then anything is possible. As I said, we're up against it but you never know!
I'm so keen for this week!! Really looking forward to being there for my last game of this trip to Aus. I hope the boys are just as keen as me. Let's go!!
