Another week and the phrase ‘must win game’ is ringing true for Warriors fans – and it could not come at a more difficult time. After a devastating wet weather 14 – 8 loss against the Knights in Newcastle, making it three
consecutive defeats and taking them down to 14th on the NRL ladder, Andrew Webster was not making any excuses for his team in what was another brutal and respectfully tight contest.
The Warriors remained over in Sydney this week on the back of a near month-long trip which shapes up to be the toughest stretch of their schedule this year that continues today against a dangerous Sydney Roosters outfit.
They’re most in form attacking team right now, having piled on 100 points the last two weekends. After that, The Warriors find themselves facing defending champions The Penrith Panthers at Magic Round in Brisbane for the second year in a row.
