Warriors vs Dragons Gameday Chatter [Round 16, 2021]
​

 

[playdaball]

With no Walsh, no Nikorima I’m really worried about our attacking ability tonight.
A lot rests on Chad’s shoulders but to be fair we don’t have a lot in the backline , in terms of form, only Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.

What is the story with Kodi? I did not realise he is not playing? Injury?

Gonna be a real shit up hill game then.

Ah well, with this weeks signing news I don't really care, looking at next year already.

Hoping to see Kosi have a good game, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Chad, all the new guys...the rest meh.

 

[Rick O'Shay]

This could turn into a cripplefest with both teams running bog average so a Janfin special for me.

Looking forward to seeing Le Chad back in action with us and I'm hoping his experience will help O'Sullivan. Aitkin and Curren are bigger losses than Kodi but Dallin Watene-Zelezniak will also add some experience in the outsides.

If the pack steps up, we're good

 

[ramps]

Im excited to see what this forward pack does. Looks good on paper. Not overly confident with the backline we have named. Would be a bit happier if we see Berry come in to replace Kosi and move Pompey or Montoya out to the wing

 

[rugged]

Worried about an innocuous bench as well. Jazz is the only bench player capable of shifting momentum and it is 50/50 on which way he shifts it. Would like to see Murch on the bench

The starting pack is great....

 

[WellingtonOrca]

Chad/SOS in the halves, no Walsh. Going to be a low scoring game at least from our side. Though maybe playing at 2nd receiver will awaken something in Sean, since that's where he's been going ok at QCup level.

 

[Sup42]

The first time the Warriors will field two organizing style halves, both with kicking games.

Should be interesting.

Might actually go quite well. You just don't know, Good luck to them.

Shame there is no Walsh to bolster the tradesmen. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck really needed to be moved on, great as a simple fullback, but we need a lot more.

 

[Bangbros 2023]

I don't think not having kodi is going to be a huge miss for the team tonight, if anything it may be better? All O'Sullivan has to do is the short game (kicking passing) and let Chad take control. I hope otukolo is on the bench again but we are in a great purple patch against the Dragons so hopefully that continues and they can start the run

 

[PNG Kiwi]

This has to be a must win for us, and as long as we play to our strengths doable.

New combinations to contend with but that has been the story of the season. No Kodi was a small surprise, but he has been very inconsistent, too big a difference between good games and bad.

Will Aitken and Currem be available next week?
If we play smart and with returning troops and Lodge available this should be a game breaker.

 

[matiunz]

Expecting a bit of a Newcastle like cripple fight, both teams have some big outs. Main area of interest tonight is to see what Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Le Chad add to the team, any sort of win is vital. Next week Walsh, Aitken, Lodge and Possibly Nikorima coming in and the team starts looking pretty solid

I wonder if Tony Iro will double down and give the warriors game of the round two weeks in a row

 

[kos]

What is the story with Kodi - lower leg injury

 

[Inruin]

The dragons on paper should beat us

not expecting too much this week, will be happy if we do manage to sneak a win

From next week onwards if we get all our troops back I expect really good performances with a view to trying to jump in to the 8

 

[Blain]

This feels like a game we should lose. Dragons are almost back at full strength, we're missing our fullback, centre, five-eighth, lock, have a new halfback and winger.

So we'll probably win.

The Dragons are so hot and cold, I think under dogs suits us well tonight. Fingers crossed, if we can defend well for once we'll be a chance.

 

[zaggo]

It always seems to be the Dragons we're facing in these do-or-die games, and we always seem to be missing troops - think about the game after the energy drink gang were outed, or the 6-0 start on the line at Mt Smart.

Good thing is we always seem to win them too!

Good post. I felt the dice were loaded in our favour for the Knights and we fricking bottled it with an abject performance. I still don't know how we lost to the knights that day missing Bradman Best and Ponga.

I think the dice are loaded here for St George so lets see our lads respond.

Let's gone Warriors!

As I always say if the forum is optimistic we lose so keep this negativity going and we will have a blinder!

I just had the Dragon's 13+
