NRL Round 8 - Warriors Vs Knights - 6:05pm Friday 25 April - Apollo Projects Stadium, Christchurch
- Thread starter Lefty
- Start date
Warriors here, there is perciptable u
nease amongst Wahs fans for this game. Reasons include
Knights have a good roster, ave to come right sonetime .
Away from Go media but admittedly still at home
As a Kiqi Ponga will want to perform
Paranoia as most RL fans tend to be.
According to Horo we have probably the worst roster in the NRL.
It will be a slippery dewy pitch. I have a close Warriors W as I think we have the edge in the Forwards and bench.
Anyway, a special day 'Lest we forget'

The big problem for the Knights, as highlighted by various footy pundits through the week @Watcher is the complete lack of anything resembling an effective modern-day attack. No movement at all, hit it up, play the ball, hit it up... I guess the hope is for the defence to make a mistake. 
Not that they've been able to capitalise on any of those.
If the Wahs make their tackles, they probably only need 3-4 tries of their own at most to win this.
The chaps on the market watch podcast think this is more on the head coach AOB than the attacking coach, Blake Green. And given AOB's into his 6th season, the fact that we have outs and admittedly subpar halves shouldn't mean we have literally no attack.
Not that there's anything likely to happen, even if Wests decide the problem is AOB with him signed (and I have to be careful here because pointing out mere facts explodes some people's brains), until 2027 it's a big payout from here.
One name that may be worth considering if and/or when AOB does go is Willie Peters.
Edit..lol "OK Champed" by the dude who called me a sov cit for saying that AOB is signed until 2027...lol OK Champ.

Cogger been in training photos all week with the first team whilst Gamble unsighted, I think he might be in line to play.

Knights star ruled out of Anzac Day game, Lucas set to return
Newcastle face the Warriors from 6.05pm (AEST) on Friday.
Says Gamble had nose surgery.
Says he could be replaced by either Cogger or Crossland.

May as well throw the mortgage on the wahs now.
I had anyway, but this is still really **** news.

Gamble was dreadful last week. Deserves some leeway given it was his first game back from back surgery and he copped a broken nose, but trading Gamble to Cogger is not going to be the determining factor in tomorrow's result.

Horo needs to update his take. Wahs forwards are playing great footy, very physical. Can’t do that with bums. Jackson Ford and Erin Clark have been great. That’s quite a pack when JFH comes back.
The young halves are going pretty good now too after they copped pelters earlier in the year.
