No Farah....god can only imagine what new combo sheens is dreaming up as we speak

[Aragorn]

could be a close game - i actually favour the Tigers as they're usually hard to bet at Leichhardt oval.

usually the warriors have other things on their minds on a friday night...

[Rebel]

Warriors. but not by much.

[Juju]

hmmmm. no farah is a bonus. Will be close though

[vvvrulz]

Warriors should get home providing our backs esp the replacement fullback (most likely Fish) doesn't have a defensive shocker.

Both sides missing their hooker means it could come down to the Marshall vs Johnson show. Can't wait!

Just out of interest, how do people rate these two against each other?

Statistically I couldn't find a good comparison, but:
Try Assists
Marshall - 13
Johnson - 12

Tries
Johnson - 6
Marshall wasn't in the top group

Line Break Assists
Marshall - 8
Johnson wasn't in the top group

Line Breaks
Johnson - 7
Marshall wasn't in the top group

Personally I rate Johnson as having the skillset of Marshall but with more pace. Plus Johnson can jump :P

It would be a Leichhardt miracle if we win this when he will still pick garbage like Moltzen and aged and out of form Lote

Hoping for a Warriors win rather than expecting it.

Despite our strong first 70mins against Melbourne, the fact is we haven't gotten good results in our last 3 away games. Playing a lot better than we were against Raiders and Roosters (first time around), so hopefully our away results will turn around as well.

Mateo always seems to have a big one against the Tigers so I'm hoping he has a strong game.

Considering some of the Tigers results this year it's hard to know which Tigers team will turn up, and it's always a crapshoot as to which Warriors side will turn up. Could be close either way, could be a blowout either way, complete coin flip.

Strong mail that although he may not be named Curtis Sironen will start in the halves with Benji

[Earl]

1. Benji Marshall
6. Wade McKinnon
7. Curtis Sironen
9. Tim Moltzen

14. Blake Aysford
15. Tom Humble
16. Jacob Miller
17. Matt Utai

[blacklock]

warriors are playing too dominantly to lose this one. so long as its not wet weather footy, i say they get the upper hand in this one

[Aragorn]

looking at the Tigers team that was announced I'm feeling pretty comfortable about a warriors win. Matt Utai on the bench was a strange selection - you dont often see a winger there unless he can cover a multiple number of positions..... he's also a bit of an old timer, like Lote....

or if it's Tim Sheens picking the side

[Grapple]

Moltzen @ 9?! Warriors have no chance...
