The Situation:
Having been at the top of the ladder all season, the Warriors will be confident of continuing their success in the 2021 GIG WANL Grand Final and securing an historic third consecutive premiership.
However, they are up for a challenge as Roar will be ready to match their confidence, after a 38-point win over Jets in the Preliminary Final last week.
Last time Roar and Warriors battled it out on the netball court was Round 10, where Roar maintained the lead for the first two quarters before Warriors made a sensational comeback after half-time.
Both teams have proven throughout the season that they have such a strong skillset across their teams that multiple combinations can be used depending on what strategies their opponents utilise.
From the Captains:
Steph Cooper (Warriors)
“There’s a lot of excitement around the team, obviously there’s nerves, but quite a few of us know the process and have done it before so we’re really, really excited.
“At the end of the day we’re just going out focussing on the one game, but it would be extremely great if we could get the three-peat.
“I think we just need to play our game, sometimes you can get caught up in the whole finals, but I think if we just settle and go through our processes we should be fine.”
Maddi Shultz (Roar)
“We’re feeling really good. The girls are really confident, I think we just need to keep the momentum going and have faith in ourselves and believe that we can do it.
“We had a few ups and downs throughout the season but I think that’s got us to where we are now.
“We’ve had a strong finals series so I think if we keep that rolling into the Grand Final this week then we should hopefully get the win.”
