Gameday - Rd 9, Warriors v Roosters

[nswarrior]

Big game again. We have a lot of quality out. Mass, CNK and Harris have been providing so much of the passion and resilience.

Rd 9 has been a strange round with the rain with 2 big upsets. 1st the Gold Coast over Manly and then the upset of the season with Wests beating Penrith

I am worried though with the players we have out

Agree with all of that bro/sis.

I am relaxed today because the triple run vs Storm Roosters Penrith are nothing to lose games.

And if we manage not to get thumped in any of the three with all the players we have out...then we are a genuine top eight side and I am talking higher eight...not the also rans.

All we have to do today is play well and compete, our time is coming even if we lose all three at this time of the year it doesn't really matter.

Agree with what you say and wish I could be chill like you but would love to see a win. I thought we were very unlucky to lose against Melbourne, injuries and 50/50 calls went against us
GO Warriors!!!

Have we got off the bus? We're being driven backwards at will.

Johnson is the only one trying to be physical!

 

[Blair]

Keary 40/20 but they blow it with a knock-on.

 

[Blair]

Another let-off, Suaalii puts it down after a strong tackle by Bunty.

 

[Blair]

SJ's getting us back into it with some nice touches.

But thickhead Pompey spills it with the tryline there, then he chucks it dead, to give the Chooks a twenty-metre, seven-tackle, restart!

 

[Blair]

A blatant knock-on by Tedesco not called! Terrible mistake by the officials. We have to do a line dropout now.

But we survive, thank God.

The TV commentary is embarrassingly bad, thankfully I don’t think it goes out to Aussie

 

[Beavers Headgear]

When is someone going to put a shot on that dog Lodge

 

[Blair]

No way through for us at the moment, it's just too wet, I believe, for effective attacking footy.

Still 2-0 Chooks.

That’s exactly it, and it’s played right into the Warriors hands today

Roosters still trying to move it around a lot, Warriors playing the lower risk 1 out footy

A penalty, then a double miss by Walker, and the Roosters are in.

8-0, Chooks. They've defended a lot too, not good signs for us.

 

[Blair]

In these conditions if they score next then I think it's game over. We need to hang on till the break and then try to regroup.

How did they miss that knock on

 

[nswarrior]

The forwards got dominated the 1st 10 minutes but getting back into it.

8 down will be hard but the wind could help

still in it but not feeling good

 

[nswarrior]

Let’s go Warriors,

we have the wind behind us and 2 fresh subs

 

[Blair]

2008 was the last time we won a game at Mt Smart, after being kept scoreless at the break.

 

[Blair]

A crowd of 20,395, a great crowd, but still to see us score a point!

 

[Blair]

What to do? Maybe an offload or flickpass, even in this weather? We need something to break the line. What we've been doing for an hour aint working.
