Sorry mate but the cracks are there, and it is what everyone will be being a wiseguy about after the event, if we don't win. We also had far better teams in 87, 11, and 15, and the NZRFU wasn't being run in such a shambolic way Yes the cra is have been showing for 18months now.Sth Africa know how they can strangle us of posession so I just hope we dont get them in the quarters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 2 hours ago, Our Maizcay said: Newcastle vs Canberra in first round is not confirmed yet, likely but Canberra could upset Sharks today resting a bunch of players with niggles has to help and perhaps the Warriors didn't mind playing title favourites Penrith in the first week of the play-offs because it means avoiding them in the semi-finals (or preliminary final) should they get that far Yep sorry you are right, Canberra can jump ahead of the Sharks to 6th if they beat them tonight. I was sure I heard that only the Sharks and Roosters could change position on NRL Live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes well said Richie, the cracks have been there for a while now, but many fans and commentators' objective judgement is clouded by their bias towards the AB's. The SA thrashing, albeit with a player down, showed up those cracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SA thrashing, albeit with a player down, showed up those cracks LOL...the ABS heavy loss was also with (at least 1) first-choice player down. Do you really think the SA coach was going to reveal his RWC 'master plan' (bench stacked with forwards, 7-1) before the tournament?? THe ABs weren't starved of possession, they simply couldn't hold onto the ball on the day. They won't be doing that too often in the RWC. For me, the key to their success/failure is in their own hands - they have to adjust to Nth Hemisphere refs' interpretation of the rules. That means a far more disciplined approach to tackling, timing of the pass and execution of set pieces. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richie Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 So im a bit split between Panthers and Warriors. Have been a Panthers fan since late 70s and love both them and Warriors to bits.As a Penny fan we have more downs than ups but last 4 years have been fantastic. As a Warriors fan I think we have done something special this year .At least no matter who loses,they will get another chance.Do I wear my old 80s Panther jersey or my 90s Warrior jersey?That is the question? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 Do you still want to go with the Warriors(+17.5) which is now at $1.92, I assume because Shaun Johnson is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of his, (I'm a Storm supporter and can't stand the wahs), but he has taken his game to the next level this season. Very impressive.

Hesi Posted September 9, 2023 Author Share Posted September 9, 2023 Interesting that the margins in both the 1st/4th and 2nd/3rd games, were both 26 points, and an indication of how superior the Panthers and Broncos are. A remarkable achievement for the Warriors to advance from 15th last year to 4th, but any thoughts of a premiership is fanciful thinking.

They looked a bit over roared by the occasion. Probably lucky not to lose by a few more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
