Team vs Raiders

[Izz]

Both Barnett and Capewell still on the teamlist. Ale and MGT the 2 reserves. If Capewell and Barnett do both back up, I can't see either of them playing big minutes, especially Barnett

Some lucky ducks will be having a drink tonight while watching the game. This unlucky duck is working.

The general concensus I’ve heard from ex origin players, is that it is easier to back up 2-3 days later than 4-5 days

Same deal after the first club cricket training before a new season.

Muscles that you forgot exist all of a sudden reminding you they are there

They are both playing. Webster picked them up from Canberra airport personally himself and the two blokes are going to play as normal. True hearty players. LFG!

"When he talks, everyone listens": Warriors turn to new captain Barnett to lead pivotal final stretch

Fresh off his mammoth State of Origin debut, Mitchell Barnett will take the reins from the injured Tohu Harris in their bid to secure a finals spot.

I’m working til 10. Will either listen on ABC or go full radio silence at 8 and watch on delay when I get home.

Anyone suggesting that RTS is NOT up to it now can shove it up where the sun don't shine.
You have to feel for him where a club can't make their mind up where you are playing.
Roger's loyalty and no whining attitude to put club first has always shined for me.
When he left for Rugby he made the adjustments necessary (at the time) to get the club moving forward.

Put him in a position for half a season minimum and see him shine again.

Deep down, we as a club have not deserved this bloke.

Bit much. He walked out on the club and went to Union. I like the guy, but he’s no Simon Mannering.

The decision to choose Barnett for the sin bin was made based on data as to who had worked the hardest at that point and might be due for a spell. So, yeah, he was busy

It was actually a coin toss that decided Barneys fate. Madge discussed this when interviewed by Channel 9. Insane lol

Nah, Barney got binned because it’s in the ref’s handbook to shaft Warriors whenever possible

 

[Thatwasnthighref]

Well however it was decided it probably came at a good time for him anyway. Dude was a beast on Wed night.

I honestly didn’t expect either of them to backup for tonight’s game. Absolute pros

Love Mannering my favorite Warrior of all time.
RTS was upfront and left with grace.
He also sacrificed a whole lot.
If anything he demonstrated how to leave a club maturely.
Walked out on us? A little dramatic.

Slightly off topic.. just watched a replay on Sky of the ‘11 prelim final against the Storm. SJ’s try assist at the end is as pretty now as it was 13yrs ago. What a team we had back then.

I love Maloney's conversion too. 'He"s kicked them into the grand final!' (Rabbs).

It meant the last couple of minutes weren't cruelled by Melbourne.

This is why I simply don't train

I (much to the chagrin of my competitors) relentlessly just pick the TAB favourites in all of my various picking comps.

This game was very close on the TAB (Canberra slight faves but like $2 vs $1.80) but for some reason I just couldn't pick against us, so I have gone against the habit of a lifetime.

We've now drifted to $2.20 though? Some word out there that Barnett won't play maybe? Hard to understand it otherwise.

Where did you hear that from in regards of Barnett? Webster said he is playing. Sucks if true.

Webby’s comments in that story appear to have been from yesterday so Barnett may have pulled up sore this morning. Definitely sucks if true.

I think it's a question to justify why the odds have drifted.
