NRL 2025 Season Warriors v Canberra Rd 1 in Vegas - Matchday thread

[Big Marn]

Lets Go!

sidenote: The 'Other" Warriors team putting on a clinic vs Warrington at the moment.

 

[Izz]

Looks like Ford to start at prop, Barnett at lock, Clark to the bench

 

[Blair]

Footy's starting? It's about 30 degrees outside here in Katoomba and Sunday morning. Oh well, the Warriors are ready to go anyway!

Proof of what someone said recently, that there's no such thing as props and 2nd rowers necessarily anymore - just middles and edge players.

5 mins into the season and I've already muted the coverage

But how different is this game about to kick off? The field is narrower* so you'd think there'd be more action up the middle? Our little fellas might get steamrolled.

*or shorter! I don't know which.

If it's any consolation Channel Nine is a turn-off too.

Yeah I'm not a Ford fan, let's see how we go...

 

[Blair]

"Fisher-Harris". That sounds really good!

 

[Blair]

A frenetic pace. They can't keep this up. There'll be a mistake, for sure.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Good start to the year for the ref, 2m away looking straight at the put down and gets it wrong

 

[Blair]

6-0, Raiders. A party balloon has popped.

Our attack is stodgy, of course we miss big Addin close to the line. It'd be six-all now if he was playing. He often scores so close to the line or tips on a pass for someone else to.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Capewell is a dud, 2 on 1 on his outside and he holds the ball then coughs it up

 

[Blair]

Canberra are offloading and it's troubling us. Lot's of cross plays too. It's all Canberra.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Raiders should be 3 tries up but not taking their chances, might hurt them later

 

[Big Marn]

Jackson Ford. line had been secure up until that blunder. hes always been a ticking bomb tho.

 

[Big Marn]

the guy that should have been binned scores the intercept. f**king bullshit.

 

[Blair]

We learnt from Johnson about how to give away length of the field intercepts.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

We're the third best side in this game, we're that bad
