Arrgh one day *woe is me*

 

[wendog33]

Where is Kasey?

 

[Wearnze]

Mr Brown didn’t even make the reserves for the knights in the end…

 

[Moedogg]

Papalii is a huge out for the Raiders. Knights should have this one in the bag but I would rejoice if they went out in straight sets.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

lol @ Fraudley starting for the Faiders

 

[Blueandwhiteblood1968]

Hopefully the wahs bash the shit out of the panthers who probably might underestimate them, Webster has got them firing this year and they could surprise the panthers, anyone think the wahs have a chance this weekend?

I think Panthers easy.

Zero chance. Panthers will be too clinical.

 

[maroondog72]

Heart says wahs, head says Penrith smoke them.

 

[Wearnze]

The only two teams I think have the side to beat Penrith are broncos with a small chance for storm and knights. I feel like the rest are just making numbers…

It’s fever pitch unbearable here

The National paper front page (full page) up da Wahs …my fkn phone (Vodafone) has up the Wahs scrolling at the top - I’m switching to 2 degrees FFS

Every man and his dog have come out the woodworks

 

[blah]

If your sharks do you play Tracey over Kennedy

 

[Freakzilla]

If your sharks do you play Tracey over Kennedy

Nope. I'd put Tracey on the bench.

I'd also start Ryan Papenhuyzen. It's cowardly to leave him on the bench.

 

[Nano]

I am on the Warrior band wagon, up the wahhhhs!

The NRL would want the Warrior to be successful especially with how the Allblacks are playing at the moment, its the perfect chance to stroke union in NZ lol...

would be a big blow if Johnson is out

That's shit. Feel for him and Warriors.

 

[Chrisaaar]

That's shit. Feel for him and Warriors.

Surely it's mind games!

I agree tbh! I really think the NRL made it up to the Warriors and their fans due to lockdown and being away from family/fans for so long last couple of years.

heard its a calf injury
