NRL NRL 2023 Finals Week 1 - General Discussion

[Noitall]

I was nervous about facing the Knights

I’m nervous about facing raiders in this form. Was only golden point last time-again.

 

[CWC]

Would have been more of an issue if big fat Papa was playing, they are better and fitter without him.

I wish him an amazing recovery for next week

Sad but true... he's not quite the player he was, been in the wars

 

[Mr Drag]

You are assuming we don't make the errors and missed tackles that we did last night

Every game has got worse by the Warriors and no one talks about It

 

[The Shah of Iran]

The bigger question is how are we gonna go after dropping half the backline like some around here are wishing

 

[Stalefish540]

Knights haven't really had a test of late, they have mostly had their way with teams.

They are shell shocked.

I hear you ... but only because of the last 90 secs.

6 day turnaround after a bruising game for the winner of this one.

But I'm already scared.

 

[Bruce]

Raiders have had 70% ball

I can’t believe the knee jerk reactions lol, we were basically Ireland without Johnny Sexton last night. It’s OK

 

[Worried2Death]

All part of Webby's long term plan to lure the Raiders into a trap next week and unleash the real Warriors, it's so obvious now.

 

[The Shah of Iran]

You just know the Raiders won't make it easy on themselves in the 2nd half...

 

[Beastmode]

Yep

I don’t see Canberra or Knights consistently applying the same defensive pressure as Penrith

That simple

 

[Aman 2.0]

Knights with the wind behind them this half as well. Makes a big difference

 

[Matiunz]

Knights are in the situation where they have such a large streak that it was almost impossible for them to go unbeaten the remainder of the year and a loss is coming sooner than later.
The media in Aus have been talking about next week as if the Knights just had to show up, u bet Ricky is using that

 

[The Shah of Iran]

Possession will even out for sure. This game will be close

 

[hornbybrown]

Hope Raiders hang on, I really don’t think they have two away from home games in a row like this in them

 

[The Shah of Iran]

Friz is ok it seems

 

[Bruce]

Knights have a good defense. Their attack is ordinary though

 

[The Shah of Iran]

Not a good kick

 

[Zarjaz]

Ponga doing all he can to stay out of traffic.
