Warriors are currently first for Decoy runs, Linebreaks and completion, pretty crazy turnaround from last year, hopefully Sharks underestimate us and we get the win over them!



I know this sounds and is simplistic. But, I haven’t seen Shaun Johnson smiling in games like he has been for years. He looks like, and is playing like he loves his footy again. I’m sure being back home and with family again is a major part too. Him up against Hynes at his old stomping ground is definitely going to be a highlight.

SJ form is very much tied to his emotions. When he’s happy he plays well. When things aren’t going his way he struggles.

With a strong team playing well like this year it sets a solid platform for him to enjoy his footy.


Smash em bro

Is my mate Sproj still there or did he go full AFL? #You never go full AFL 🤣




Still here and still loving the AFL too and understandably getting shot down for it on this forum hehe

Great to have you guys back from the other forums, we missed you guys, even started a petition and did under the table payments to @Nashy to try and get him to do it. That almost worked but it wasn't until we threatened starting a cat thread if we didn't do the cross forum again that action finally happened.

This story may or not be accurate.

Also, the Warriors are now everyone's second favourite team for making sure we got Walsh back.

So happy to see the Warriors are on the improve. We really need healthy and competitive League teams in New Zealand.



We doing well, would like to see some Kiwi test players in our team, embarrassing we only have Niukore!

Might be PTSD but I can see a future where we (warriors) drop a few in the trot and fall to bottom of 8 or worse. Winning consistently takes sustained mental strength and we don't have recent experience building anything like that.
But as long as we start building towards that And win the Anzac match against the cheating storm it will be a good year.

We have seen our fair share of horrors over the years! 🤣

Is the fox stats correct - that victor Bradley is only the 21st Roosters Junior to reach 100 games for the club?

That is pathetic.

anyone else just see Sportsbet 'jersey bingo'? Gambling has jumped the shark


 
Happy to have the cross forum back, always a pleasure with you fellas.

All 3 teams look hugely improved to start the year so should be plenty of positive vibes 😂

I was going to. But the threat of physical violence from my daughter stopped me.

Hey Dan. An impressive start by Manly this year. Is there plenty of belief this year amongst the fans?



Yeah there is ….. up until we have a pride round!

Just sayin’

I went back on the NRL ladder predictor now after the 4 rounds, and accounting for most of the top teams bouncing back, it looks like we're gunna have a rough 5-7 weeks where if we win more than 2 of those we would have over achieved. Well almost certainly drop out of the 8 in the next 5 or so weeks, but have a great draw from like Rd 12 I think

My wife and step kids are roosters fans. I tipped eels, cause I'm that kind of bastard

Who has the best halfback out of our clubs? Have to be Reynolds wouldn't it? Or is there a case for DCE? SJ too hot and cold I reckon but his defence might be the best of the three
