He’s marked an injured or mentioned in doubt a lot of places due to missing trial.
No evidence currently to suggest he won’t play.

 

[Gumby]

Nrl fantasy had him as injured. Was a mistake. He’s playing

Game day!

My goal this year is to not let the losses bother me so much – especially when I was expecting a loss in the first place.

I'll be at a wedding tonight so here are my match day comments in advance:

- Ref blind
- Touch judge where
- Video ref argrhghg
- How cute is Nicho

All the pressure & expectations are on them. Coming off a big season, lots of positive media hype, sold out opener etc. Warriors not dealt with that well. SJ is a downhill skier & their linchpin to success. Kinda like KP.

Here's hoping we we pinch their lunch like Raiders did to Newy under similar circumstances.

The hype over there is actually insane at the moment. It's great to see honestly with how Union obsessed they are but do agree about the pressure on them.
Saw this yesterday



I think our bench is alot better than theirs so hope Fitz nails the rotation and also have the rookie at the back so if Tricky and Nicho can make his life hard we should be in good position to snag this.

Not confident at all that we will win here. Got to start well which is something I don't feel like we do. Keep it close over the first half and who knows.

Yeah the fact we start slow is the reason I'm not at all confident. If it's a good quality game I'll he happy even with a close loss. Just don't get rolled.

 

[Capital_Shark]

If I see the effort I'm happy. We might lose trying hard to win it sucks but so be it, learn, get better, move forward. If we ever roll over or just not up to it I'm furious & that's unacceptable.

Nice ray of hope there

Unfortunately I feel like we are the ones more likely to have Newy hands.

If we don’t decide to **** ourselves we should be right in it to **** them instead

Yep errors kill us & they killed Newy. No room for ****ing yourselves if you're serious in this comp.

Raiders showed last night how easy that is to silence.

 

[stalefish]

[dosit]

I’m back B*****

Been a long time. Your boy has finally come back home!!!

 

[dosit]

And as a gift to you all, it’s round 1 prediction time by yours truly.

I don’t see anything other then a warriors win here.
We can’t defend and all we do is drop the ball. I think it will get ugly.

Warriors by 20+

Supercoach had his expected return as week 1-2. That didn't help
