Round 1 v Knights

[Philip_Smith007]

I'm just hoping our boys were watching that. A lot of people have the dragons for the spoon, Penrith got down-troued big time.

I didn't get the Panthers love, very rookie halves pairing a hooker who was a half and put there to basically make it on field and a young (but good) fullback.

I was hoping we would be top of table on points diff after round 1, but Dragons have made that hard with a +32 points diff against a woeful Panthers.

Phil, promise us if we're bottom of the table on points diff after round 1 you'll still be here next week?

Haha
I'll be here.
My wife would love it if we were (Knights fan).

Copping a hiding in NYC. Not helped by utter incompetence by the official. Pinnock grounds the ball a foot over the line, ref goes "sorry, I called it short". Disgraceful stuff.

 

[Iafeta]

Oh god, now he trots out "stop thrashing around". How about zipping your pie hole and refereeing.

 

[MKEB...]

Alright.Am now set for gameday. Dip chilling for my chippies, and a flagon of Kereru resonater in my fridge.
Although three hours does seem a bit long to wait to wait to get into the resonater....oh well the steinies will have to suffice.

 

[Cold Roses]

Good start by the ISP boys. Strong charges by Sipley and Gavet. Good try to Allwood playing at fullback.

 

[Cold Roses]

Great short ball by Lino. Warriors in again. Vuniyayawa crashes over.

 

[Cold Roses]

Lino sets up another one with a deft kick and Allwood gets a double. Warriors are looking polished.

Massive hole in the Warriors defensive line is exploited by Newcastle and they go in to score.

Just as I'm typing, Vatuvei goes in for his first try of the year.

 

[Cold Roses]

Sam Cook pounces on a loose ball in the Newcastle in goal from yet another Lino kick. Warriors 30-4. Playing the time clock at the moment.

 

[Leber]

I think we may have found a back up fullback in allwood.

Been Amazing today.

 

[Cold Roses]

More awful defence by Newcastle and just before halftime Warriors are ahead 42-4. Despite the weak opposition, Warriors are still looking big and strong in the forwards.

 

[Cold Roses]

I think we may have found a back up fullback in allwood.

Been Amazing today.

How good has Lino been?

 

[Leber]

How good has Lino been?

Really good aswell. As has sipley.

 

[Blair]

My old Warriors-watching stomping ground across the road looking in not so great shape today:

That was my seat, just behind the digger.

The Wellington Phoenix forum usually had a live stream on game day! Although, I'm not suggesting anyone here get up to that sort of skulduggery.

 

[Cold Roses]

Cook in under the posts from dummy half. Lino converts. Warriors 48-8. A Few cracks appearing in their defensive line though.

Where's the new spot going to be? Any back ups?

Long term probably up the road, fifteen minutes walk into town. But pub prices and I'm not really a pub-guy.

Today I'm at home with the radio and Phil's thread. I really enjoy that though, until his "Farrrrrrkkkk!" comment two minutes from the end.

 

[Cold Roses]

Definitely took the foot off in the second half, although defence did improve from Newcastle. Burnt badly on the outside on Junior Paugas edge a few times.

That was ayshfords doing. Moved on way too early both tries.
