The Warriors are bouncing back from their horrific loss to the Titans a couple weekends back, taking on the Bulldogs tonight.
Chanel Harris-Tavita has been instrumental in the Warriors success this season.
They look to continue it in this afternoon’s match when they face the Bulldogs.
Chanel joined Piney to discuss how they are planning on keeping their momentum rolling after last weekend’s success.
He told Piney that in their match against the Titans, they weren’t physical enough, but coming home to a sold out home crowd got their energy right up.
“The more we can do that, the better we’ll go.”

Speaker 2 (00:12):
But to the NRL we go. The Warriors take on
the Bulldogs five o'clock this afternoon. The Warriors bouncing back
from that horror loss to the Titans with a very
solid victory against the Broncos last weekend, scoring six tries
to three.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Put a bit close to.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
The minis of many of us thought, there I suspect
now Mart.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
And again.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Here's the Vita. There's over for the first time the afternoon.
He scored two of the warriors six tries and he's
with us now. Chanelle Harris Tavita out of the Warriors
camp ahead of the game against the Bulldogs. Chanelle, thanks
for your time. How do you reflect, first of all,
back on that win over the Broncos, coming as it
did off the back of the loss to the Titans.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah, I think we we executed what we plan to do.
They came off a tough week the week before against
the Titans and a lot of the boys are looking
for redemption, and yeah, we we really wanted to turn
turn our game around from from the week before. So
(01:15):
I'm happy we got the result and but we've still
got lots of improvement in US.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Did you feel like there was any extra pressure after
the Titans game?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Not too much pressure. I think we know what wins
US games.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
We just we didn't turn up on that day and
we didn't do we didn't do what we plan to do.
So we we went back to the drawing board. We
know what wins US games, and we just needed to
put all our energy energy into that.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
So yeah, that helped us get the result.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
What other things that that win the Warriors games? What
are you really focus on when you're when you're planning,
you know each week.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Well, we like to build our build our game on
our defense, and we had too many mistackles and we
started really poorly against the Titans. We went physical enough
and coming back to uh sold out home crowd like that,
that got us really physical and I thought we started
well and to play the pressure.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
So the more we can do that, the better we'll go.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
One of the eye catching features of the game was
your partnership with Timarti Martin of course in the in
the six and seven Jumper. First of all, how much
do you enjoy that partnership?
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Yeah, My first game this year was with with Tomorrow
and the halves, we were playing your stuff, I was cuping.
I think just from then we knew each other's strengths
and we sort of sort of flowed pretty well. And
like whoever steps into the role of the six or
seven jersey, we know, we know what we need to do,
and we make variations based on what the player strengths are.
(02:51):
But as long as we execute our roles, the team
team usually plays well off the back of it.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
How have you assessed the way Tomarty's gone?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
He's been unreal for us.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
He's he's just playing footy and that that's what his
strength is, playing eyes up and he's got a got
a solid running game and and he usually picks the
right pass when he goes to the line. So yeah,
he's getting us around the park nicely. And we've got
some got some outstanding middles and edge players that are
(03:23):
that are helping us get some momentum for him to
play off.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Is he a good talker out there? Does he do?
Of the two of you? Would he do more talking
than you?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I think as the as the halfback, hey, you take
on a lot more responsibility than the five eight.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
You sort of stare the team around the park.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
And and in the sixth row.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I just whatever I see. If I see a.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Qu in front of me or opportunity, then then I'm
willing to take it. So I sort of try and
take pressure off him in that sense and do a
bit of kicking as well. So I think we can
compliment each other well if we just do our jobs
and keep working at it.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
There's six your favorite Jews, Now do you think.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I think it is? I like the sixth jersey rather
than the fourteen jersey. Yeah, but like I know that
we've got a we've got a squad full of talented players,
and coming back from a year off, it's I'm just
grateful to be back in the seventeen and the team
that made the top four last year. So whatever I
(04:30):
needed to do to help the team win, that's that's
what I'm going to pour my energy into.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
That fourteen jersey. I think a lot of people like
you there because of your versatility. Obviously you'd prefer to
be starting in a specialist position, but if called upon,
you're happy to You're happy to to play whatever role
Andrew Webster asks of you.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Clearly, Yep, yeah, No, I sat down at the start
of the year and pretty much came to agreement that
I'll play whatever roles best for the team, and whether
that's a six or forteen jersey, I'm happy to be
in the seventeen.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
How was your year away from the game? How do
you how do you reflect on that?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah? It was it was a wee needed a break.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
The club wasn't doing too well when when I left,
and they sort of turned it, turned it around when
when Webbe came to the club. So yeah, physically and
mentally I needed it, And yeah, I'm glad I made
that decision back then and I'm happy to be a
back playing now.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I remember hearing some media at the time when you
were talking about your decision to take the break away
and you weren't well. What you said was you weren't
sure whether you were coming back or not. But were
you always? Was it always the plan to come back? Whenever?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
That was?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Whenever?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
That?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Nah, Actually I wasn't sure. And then yeah, halfway through
the year, I decided I want to to see out
and for form my potential as a rugby league player
while I can, and I'm doing that now.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
So yep, fans are wrapped. Have you back all right. Bulldogs. Yeah,
Bulldogs this weekend, first time you played them, I think
this season. How do you reckon your match up against
the Bulldogs.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
They're they're firing at the moment, the Bulldogs. I saw
they haven't lost the game at home. So yeah, we're
looking to start fast like we did last week and
focus on what's going to help us win this game.
And yeah, hopefully we can start fast and plus some
pressure to them.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Well.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Terrific performance last week against the Broncos. Looking forward to
seeing what happens against the Bulldog. Chanelle, thanks for taking
the time for a chat mate, I really appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Thanks, Jason, take care mate.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
You take care to Chanelle. Harris to Vita the ahead
of the Warriors game against the Bulldogs five o'clock this afternoon.
This one's at a core stadium, I think a course
stadium in Sydney. As I say, five o'clock. Then the
Warriors have the buye then away to the Raiders on
Friday July nineteen. Next home game against the West Tigers
on Friday July twenty six. In terms of this round
(06:54):
of the NRAL, Round eighteen, so far we've had the
rabbitos bet in the Eels City two sixteen. The Titans
getting up against the Sharks last night twenty points to sixteen.
That would have surprised a few people in Panthers Roncos
as you heard in case you missed it, Panthers winning
fourteen to six. After the Bulldog's Warriors, It's the Tigers
against the Storm at seven thirty tonight, Cowboys Sea Eagles
(07:15):
at nine thirty five, and then tomorrow Roosters Dragons at
four and Raiders' Nights to round things off at five
past six.
