Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Warriors @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton

[Tom155]

Phoenix isn't a talented guy

But you can never question his effort

 

[Knight Tales]

Yep, nothing else

He heard you.

 

[perverse]

There's a lot of limbs flying about when Crossland turns the afterburners on. lol.

 

[Jono078]

Can I remind everyone the Warriors were 2nd on the ladder with only 1 loss this season, and here we are, up 22-6 at halftime with Phoenix Crossland as starting 5/8th.

This has been a nice year so far.

 

[Alex28]

How good is it that these guys want to win so much. Previous years teams couldn’t come up with that.

Shhh. The Sharks were up last week too. We need to play hard for the full 80.

 

[Tom155]

Copped a few shots there

Unlikely he comes back surely

Nup, I'm challenging AOB and the team to go on with it for once! Yester-year we crumble and maybe sneak a 28-24 win from this position. I want a 40-10 result now!

 

[Yosh]

Gagai's defense has been immense this year.

 

[Tom155]

Excellent half of footy

 

[perverse]

That might be our best half of footy this year. They keep getting better, you love to see it. Hope we can back it up with another good 40.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

A team that's fun to watch. A team to be proud of.

This is all I wanted.

 

[Knight Tales]

All the small things are being done that we were nowhere near the least three years. If we actually go an and win this comfortably the Panthers game suddenly becomes more than just how close can we get to them.

 

[Jono078]

6 rounds in and you could really make an argument for us potentially being undefeated.

Round 1 was a close one with the Warriors. The Dolphins we let slip towards the end. Last week unlucky to perhaps not hold on against Manly.

I guess the pleasing aspect regardless of record, is we've given ourselves a real chance each week. This is exactly what we've asked for, for probably the last decade or two. I know it's only 6 rounds in but if we keep this up the rest of the year, we're a real shot of playing finals and playing spoiler once we're there.

 

[ryan.a87]

Remember 2020 when we won the first six games and were flying high, only to get pumped by Penrith and the season took a nose dive

hopefully we arnt playing panthers for a bit

Oh wait

 

[Zoidberg]

Such a good team effort again in that half. Guys are playing for each other and want to win and put in the 1%ers.
Need it again this half obviously. Can’t ease off on anything.
We have the wind 2nd half apparently, so what’s the odds we do 1 kick-off dead?

Yeah, they're competing. Funnily enough when they do, suddenly they find that there's some talent in there too.

Miller and Dom have been titans for us as far as providing a threat goes. Gags is back to his best, too. I'm anxious but excited to see what Kalyn can add to all of it.

It really is impossible to trust them, lol. See where we're at mid-season I guess, but at least there's a lot of reason to be optimistic.

Been in every game this year. Our 2 losses came from our own mistakes in the last 10mins. As long as we are learning from those losses.

Dan having a bludge tonight but the forwards been very good, croker especially.
