Now, now, now this is a game I have been looking forward to all Season!! We take on the Warriors on Saturday arvo and I am so pumped for it! Playing the Warriors probably won't be a big deal to most of you but for me, it is always one of the biggest games of the year. Considering I myself am a Kiwi (but bleed Red and Green) and most of my mates, including my best mate, are huge Warriors fans, there's always so much on the line in this one. Bragging rights and plenty of boxes of beer haha. Gonna make a bit of an event of it this year too, plenty of people coming round to mine to watch.
The Warriors are struggling big time of late. They've lost their past five or six in a row I think and have looked fairly averagre in some of those games. Their confidence will be down and they'll be unsure of themselves. However, when you confidence is low and your side is not going so well, that's where the desperation comes and I'm sure the Warriors will be extremely desperate this week. They'll still believe they can play Finals and mathematically they can so there is so much at stake for them in this one. It's also a big chance to make a statement and claim a top four scalp. Their side will be weakened a bit due to their injuries and they could be missing three or four. However, they still have a decent side that on their day, is capable of going with anyone. Their forward pack especially is impressive so that is the key battle this week as well as stopping Reece Walsh which is easier said than done.
For us, we kind of need to get back on the horse so to speak. I know we've now won six in a row but we all have to admit, that game against the Dogs is not where we want to be. We're better than that and the boys will know it so this week is all about proving we are so much better than that. I speak about attitude a lot and it was clearly off last week so that needs to be better this week. No complacency please. With a better attitude, should come better defence and that's a key area the boys let themselves down in against the Dogs so our 'D' has to be a big focus here. We are probably going to be missing a few too. AJ and Tatola for sure but possibly Benji, Graham and Knight too which makes it a bit harder. Still, I'm confident we have the depth to cover.
So a huge week for me this week!! So keen though. Hopefully a Sunny Saturday arvo game and we get a great crowd there on the Sunshine Coast. Bring it on!!
