General Warriors Blueys Round 6 Predictions

[Tonbridge (Swanley)]

Three

Both home games and hope we beat the Knights away.

2 at a minimum.

 

[JaggedJ]

2-4

I agree wholeheartedly that round 1 is crucial. We have to win. We also have to gun for the next Knights encounter.

You would normally fancy your chances against the Dogs but the team I saw play last night have improved out of sight. Townsvile no matter how well or poorly the Cowboys are playing has always been a bit of a hoodoo for us. The Sharks are top contenders this year and the Roosters are the Roosters.

Honestly only seeing us beat the Knights twice optimistically but always have hope we can shank a 3rd somewhere somehow. Two is my final answer. Lock it in please...

The question then becomes what is a pass rate we give Webster for the first 6?

I guess its 2.

Anything over is an exceed - or a win against Chooks, Sharks or Cows to me is a massive milestone and achievement.

1 win - i guess we can make excuses and talk about effort, pride, young team, and all that happy happy I love the Warriors bull shit.

0 wins and we're in deep bull shit.

You all know what I think.

We have to win 6 of the first 10 games to make the finals.

So I'll go with at least 3 wins in the first 6 games, leaves us with 3 to get in the next 4.

You do realise our next 4 after the first 6 are

Cows
Storm
Roosters
Panthers...

A pass mark for me is what would be a pass mark in most circumstances. 50%. 3 from 6.

BTW added 5 and 6 as a poll option. Its only right. If you would like to change your vote that option has also been added but will be removed before the round 1 game so we can gloat or roast accordingly...

Weird thing is the two Cows' fans I know see us the same way lol. I suppose outside of late last year, they are often quite tight matches thinking back.

I agree us winning Round 1 is imperative, a loss is pretty much a death sentence with how front heavy our draw is.

Also need to get a win from the 'Dogs home game or the Knights away game (or both ) as well to not completely tank it.

 

[Wrighty]

We can beat the Roosters. They never start trying until round 6

Oh for that 2018 run again! Great memories of those first 6 rounds.

I hope we win 3 of the first 6. I voted for 2. I'm scared if we only get 1 as we possibly could go 1 from 11 with our draw from rounds 7-11.

That draw from round 8-11 is just awful for us. Tuesday night 11pm (NZ time game) in Melbourne, flying back home, short turn-around, Roosters, short turn around Panthers, short turn around then 10pm (NZ time) game in Sydney vs the dogs.

Here’s the history of our first 6 rds from 2018 and where we finished after Rd 6

2018 - 5 wins - 8th
2019 - 2 wins - 13th
2020 - 2 wins - 10th
2021 - 1 win - 12th
2022- 3 wins - 15th

All is not lost even with a 1/6 start….

 

[Defence]

The correct answer is 3.

 

[Miket12]

That’s because it takes until Round 6 for the new seasons supply of brown paper bags to arrive.

They stopped doing it that way years ago...

 

[Mr Brownstone]

You do realise our next 4 after the first 6 are

Cows

So 1-2 wins from the first 6 rounds could easily extend to 1-2 wins from the first 10 rounds. Very grim.

For what it's worth, our last GF year (2011) had only 2 wins out of the first 6 games (although that was followed by 5 straight wins).

 

[Jaffa J]

Can only see 1 win during the first 6 rounds hopefully against the Knights but then I can see us dropping the next one against them

Our first 10 rounds are bad we'll be lucky to get 3 wins by then

And as with Wrighty’s theory that poor players bring down those around them, poor results can also knocks the teams confidence, faith in the systems and ultimately team intensity.

Tough draw.

On the flip side if we are a genuine top 8 team we should be able to win a few against top 8 opponents, especially if some are at home.

Only problem with that view is that we most likely aren’t a genuine top 8 team.

That’s why I said ‘if’
