Warriors v Melbourne - gameday

[nswarrior]

Wow - this is a huge game for us. I think we are still a chance of making the top 4 if we can win today. (We are $8 outsiders to make the top 4)

I can not believe that I thought the season was over a month ago and the players who came in helped turn the season around with totally incredible wins against Penrith and Dolphins.

We haven’t won against Melbourne in 9 years, 15 games.

We have close to our best team playing today and it will be interesting to see how SJ and TMM combine. If we play like we did against the Cowboys we can win this one.

We need it to keep moving up the table.

Go Warriors!!

Genuinely fizzing for this game. Weather is OK, should be decent conditions for good footy

I'm about to board a plane to Wellington, where I'll see my first game there since 2019.

Happy trip Blair. Hope it starts with a Warrior win.

 

[nswarrior]

Harris moves to the bench and Walker starting. Unchanged 17 although RTS is 18th man which is unusual - usually a forward

Team looks good on paper. Should be a great game.

Lets go Warriors.

Not sure if it's a good or bad thing that the favourites have lost the first 4 games.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Crap, if we win we knock Broncos out of the top 8. NRL won't like that! Hope they can't get that message through to the refs.

 

[nswarrior]

Bellamy will have a surprise or 2 in store for us.

Sky Sport commentary sucks. Everything else about being back in NZ is ace!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

TMM takes the kick and gets taken out. Penalty where balll landed. Katoa got a sprig to head as well.
Taking the 2.

Rain set in by look.

DWZ challenges bomb, passes to ground and Storm fullback picks up run but fights in the tackle and loses it 15m out.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

SJ steps and then ball slapped out, called lost.
Challenged.
Easily seen Harry slapped it out.
Storm given a no more warning.

Can we get the storms bank accounts checked, they have to be fixing this
