General 2023 Warriors Draw

3 of our first 8 games at home, only two of them at Mt Smart

Is that Wellington game a home game or an away game for the Knights? Even though it might be worth going down for.

Heyzeuss, I just checked, we have given the very first home game to Wellington. WTF???

Thought the same initially Bruce, but Mt Smart booked for a concert so needed to be moved

Round 11 - 17 provides us with an opportunity to go on a run. 1 top 8 team (Raiders) and 2 byes.
After a tough start to the season where 7 of the 1st 10 are top 8 teams.
I think our bye in round 22 is placed well enough. And gives us an opportunity to refresh for some late season games which look winnable this far out.

Looking at that if we can get to round 21 and still be in touch we have a good run home and could possibly build some momentum.
Bye, titans, tigers, manly, dragons, dolphins to finish the year…
We need a solid start to the year to put ourselves in a position to take advantage of it.

Wrong. Entirely believable. The NRL don't really give a shit about us.

Frustrating? Disappointing? F*CK yes!

Mt Smart booked out by some No-Name Chuck called Harry Styles. So because of a concert that will be attended by two deaf men and their support dogs, the game gets shifted.

But you're right, the NRL don't give a shit about us. They don''t have to.

 

[Toookey]

Hmm looking at that draw there's some slim pickings in that first 10 week period - I see us winning 3 of them, but Doggies could be big improvers with a good hooker and some other good recruits.

I've got us down for 12 wins next season - that's currently beating Raiders twice, but none of the other better teams this year.

A good run home though, would be great if we're still in contention once we hit that last bye...

 

[mrblonde]

Can harry styles play prop??

Hey, that useless Irish bastard Bono never turned up for the Warriors after wearing the Warriors logo for two nights in November 2006, so it's not only useless effing referees against us, it's also useless effing pop stars!

Although maybe if we can arrange for the Warriors to play against Harry Styles, maybe we could grab 2 points from that. By which I mean a penalty, I don't mean to be so extravagant as to suggest the Warriors would actually win.

 

[Jay M]

That draw is disgraceful. Give up all hopes of the top 8 now...

Tuesday night in Melbourne on Anzac Day - loss.
Flight home on the Wed. Game on the Sun (travel plus short turn-around) vs Roosters - loss.
Short turn around and back to Brisbane for Magic Round vs Panthers - loss.
Short turn around and back to Sydney to play the Dogs on a Friday night - probably loss.

That's AWFUL scheduling.

One of my mates tried to tell me we should start supporting the Dolphins. Starting to think it's a good idea...

I see the Welly and Aucks games are on sale but can't find the tickets for the Napier game.

Am I being a numpty?

Chur.

Musta stopped reading the article when I just saw all the stuff was about the Aucks games and missed that clear statement at the bottom.

Numptyism confirmed

 

[Tragic]

Any of you booked for flight NZ1995 to Wellington for the game?

I gave it some thought, not a bad deal, prick of a venue though.
