Rugby League In The Land Of The Long White Cloud

-

The Warriors will cross the Tasman to face the Penrith Panthers in a sudden death NRL playoff on Saturday after finishing the regular season in eighth place.



When, where and who the Warriors would play in the first week of the finals hinged on the result and the amount of points scored in the final match of round 25 between the Brisbane Broncos and Manly Sea Eagles.

Early in the second half, the Broncos seemed certain to win by a margin of more than 32 points - enough to move up to fifth place on the ladder and book a home match against the Warriors in the first week of the playoffs.

But a disallowed try for the Brisbane club in the final 90 seconds kept the winning margin to just 32 points which meant Penrith finished fifth and earned the right to host the eighth placed Warriors at Sydney's ANZ Stadium at 7.40pm (NZT).

Forgetting pain and rinsing it out of our system is nigh impossible, but remembering a happy moment, a moment of joy, is often harder because joy and happiness rarely leave a scar or mark. We learn to be happy through experiencing a life that is fully led (whether there is much pain, loss or disappointment).
