Hey Fellas, Im new to the forum and I am a warriors supporter haha I also like Manly, but just decided to tell you how we are thinking of the game for this weekend.
Our emphasis is that we treat you with respect and play smart football, we stand a chance. Our markers aren't just little and quick, but they are powerful, and you may have Heard Anasta quoting after the game that it isn't just a matter of catching them , but stopping them. But we need our pack to be on form. As experienced as we are up front, your pack are the quiet achievers of the NRL and are hard to stop when your on a roll. Glenn Stewart has been fantastic for you and was rewarded at the Dally M Medal awards. Hes a great asset to your side, and I think it is key for us to shut him and his brother Brett down in attack.
One thing the warriors have got going for them is Matt Orfords lack of consistency with the boot. He doesn't often play 4 or 5 good games in a row, but if he turns up on his game then we will have to pull out a miracle.
But hey, we beat the Storm. In Melbourne. We can work miracles when we need to.
I am just joining this forum to give you guys some perspective from here in NZ, and also to talk footy with some Australians. I don't want to be an annoyance and if you don't like other supporters joining your forum just tell me and I won't bother you. I have the utmost respect for the Sea Eagles as a club, and they are a great side. The game should be a cracker this weekend. Although I am on your own site, I can't resist saying this: Go the Warriors!
