PRE-GAME Round 11 - Warriors vs Broncos

[Jedhead]

This time we'll be missing our Origin players while they will lose no one and will have a full strength side with the return of Graham, Moylan, Johnson and Woods.

We could have as many as six or as little as two missing though. If the latter, we're still a chance as Sharks will lose Fatfita at least. Or has he resinged to only play for Tonga too?

The Knights win tonight makes this game even more crucial.

Our next month of footy.

Round 11 vs Warriors
Round 13 vs Titans
Round 14 vs Eels
Round 15 vs Knights
Round 16 vs Sharks

All of them away games. On paper, we should win the next 4. However, we're going up against bogey sides (Warriors & Eels) and Knights at home with the form they are currently in. We could drop a couple of games.

We will definitely lose the Sharks games. That's on the weekend before Origin.

The Knights smashed the roosters and could easily be seen as the form team atm
I wouldn't consider it a easy win.

 

[Donald Garner]

Big game this. A win here could see us one win out of the top 4. Amazing considering our start to the year.

My worry is our inconstancy, and us getting carried away with last weeks good W.
Lets hope the boys come with the right attitude and intensity and make it 3 in a row. The 8 has well and truely opened up and now is our time to make a run.

Carrrrrrn lads!!

How's the weather over there, any kiwi friends know?

Perese gets his first gig warming up as 18th man.

You don't know for sure that Sharks will win. I am definitely giving us a chance. We were absolutely no chance against the Roosters....remember

It all depends on how many Origin players both sides lose. We've got Su'a to cover Gillett, Carrigan to cover a front rower (hopefully we don't lose too many). Oates is tougher, but a good opportunity to see how someone like Farnsworth would go.

With Oates out you just give Roberts his spot back for one game. Shiba covers Oates’ wing.

 

[1910]

Hoeter to the wing, Roberts to right centre.

Roberts will have to make some good calls down that side with Ahearn.

Herbie v Roberts on that side too.

Any chance of a late sneaky change

Not unless there is an injury in warm up.

 

[Accept]

This is a tough game to tip as neither side set the world on fire and probably won't see action in Sept. But the RTS factor plus home advantage likely sees the Warriors prevail in possibly a tight one. It's a massive game as a Bronco win keeps them in touch with the other inconsistent sides on the ladder (of which there are many). A loss will signal a very long season indeed.

How's the weather over there, any kiwi friends know?

It's a nice and mild here in Auckland today, bit of cloud around but mostly clear. Sitting at 18 degrees now but forecast to get down to around 12-13 by kick off.

Is the banner bet on with the warriors forum?

I want Farnsworth to succeed simply because I like saying his name! Herbert Farnsworth Esquire. I hope his middle names are Pinkerton Sedgwick. What a name!

 

[surfin]

Always one of my favourite games of the season, had a bit of everything over the years. I was at Mt Smart on game one and I don't think I've ever missed one since.

 

[Xzei]

Can't help but think Futurama whenever I read Farnsworths name
