Week 1 Finals v NZW

[Blues Riff]

@Aliceinwonderland Hopefully these trips down memory lane in some way help us fight of the onset of Dementia.
My lowest memory during that dark period was being flogged at home in the pissing rain by Canberra. I think it was the game that ended Royce's first grade coaching career.

Oh yes I remember and recall. Having Purtell on the wing. Going down on the supporter bus to Canberra, passing snow to be flogged by 70 odd. Then having to come back home.

A game at Newcastle where Penrith hadn't scored a try for 2 whole games. Being so excited when they finally bumbled their way over the line.

Today's Penrith team is like a dream come true.

Also the reason why I NEVER believe we will win by 50. They're the Johnny come latelys who do that. They don't have the horrible muscle memory of those losses.

I believe that no win is ever easy.

The Warriors will be hard work on Saturday. Webster to some extent knows where the bodies are buried and how the systems work too.

This means the Penrith brains trust will have to come up with new ideas. Quite nervous in fact about the game. Penrith will have to be brilliant.

I reckon I'd be running with this -

Edwards
Turuva
Crichton
Tago
To'o
Cogger
Cleary
JFH
Kenny / Luke
Leota
Sorensen / Garner
Martin
Yeo

Peachey
Leniu
Smith
Garner / Hoskings

I think Garner gets the nod in front of Hoskings for me. Hoskings has just run out of steam the back end but has had a cracking year. And I'm going Luke over Sommerton. Warriors can get loose up the middle, so think he can poke some holes in them.

Too Early...

Going to be another 5 pages bullshit now

I hope Mitch is back, has had a great season and his defence is awesome.

Garner has come from no where really, wasn‘t exactly carving up in NSW Cup but was pretty good against the Cowboys.

Because everything is derailed I'll restate. The kick off time is due to the time difference to nz. Whoever played them would've had that time.

I think given the Warriors sacrifices over the last few years it is a small price to pay. Obviously not too convenient for us, but unlikely to be too many travelling Warriors fans make the game anyway.

....If this doesn't get you going. NOTHING WILL.

They have a very strong support base here in Western Sydney so I expect they will be well represented.

The Warriors will carry the bulk of support from fans of sides no longer involved, rightfully so. Webster and his squad have done an amazing job.

Brilliant video (as always).
Our digital team rarely miss a beat.

 

[Kilkenny]

I don’t take anything for granted.

The margin of victory is irrelevant, it’s about the win and getting to week three.

Good solid performance, with no injuries and no suspensions.

If we accomplish the above I will be delighted.

Yes, could be tricky. SJ is a little hot and cold, but when he's on, he can break games.

All of Mt Druitt will be there, Those who aren't Panthers fans are ex pat Kiwis.

Good draw for them really

I confident we can shut SJ down.

I know we are without Luai but they are without their five eight as well who has been very good for them. Cogger just seems a good for fit whereas Te Marie Martin coming back from a long injury lay off.

Will certainly make for a great atmosphere.

Im really looking forward to it, not happy with tickets we got, but it is what it is.

It is frustrating how Ticketek holds them back.

Wife got what she could get.

Logged on an hour ago and could have got brilliant tickets in the Western Stand.

It is what it is, as long as we win, I don’t care if the sun is in my eyes fir the entire game.

Just crave the win and get to the PF.

I had the same issue.

Got Bay 37. Wanted my usual Bay 35.

You can't wait incase it is actually sold out

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

At least you both got tickets.

I can remember lining up outside the league's club at 6am for tickets in 2003 first final.

Was so happy to get tickets.

Some things just don't change.

 

[murraymob]

Sommerton has a shoulder injury .That May decide who plays him or Luke .Kenny is sweet he is back

I cant recall us ever missing out on tickets totally.

Didn't get tickets for our maiden GF but we weren’t ticketed members back then, tried but there were so few tickets available it was impossible. Couldn’t afford them anyway with two youngsters at that stage.

Weve bit the bullet this year and pre-purchased GF tickets.

If we don’t get there so be it at least don’t have to go thru the stress of mad Monday and the lottery of trying to get them.
