[jamaman]

Warriors will scrape through by 30points

 

[kia ora storm]

Sharks by 4...

 

[Twatface Magee]

Gallen thought he was playing the New Zealand Test Side so accidentally made himself available.

 

[Rhyno]

Warriors 13+

 

[SilentOne]

No disrespect to the sharks, but the warriors should win this easily.

 

[shiznit]

The warriors should win this easily.... So because of that I'd say the Sharks by 8

 

[txta2]

Yep the word SHOULD, is a Warriors curse. Besides injuries they hate the Sharks style of play. If Johnson plays,Warriors. If not , toss of coin.

 

[WithTheDawn]

Warriors have been a far more consistent side since these two sides last played, and haven't dropped a single "should win" game in that time (and there have been a few). It's the business end of the season, and Johnson or not, any team with legitimate finals hopes should be able to take down the team coming last when they play at home. Simple as that.

 

[shiznit]

Any truth to the rumour that Gallen will be a late withdrawal??

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Wsrriors by 18

 

[Rebel]

Gallen may be out with the flu apparently

 

[kia ora storm]

Gallen may be out with the flu apparently

Thats snot his go...

 

[Rebel]

He's out there for the coin toss.

 

[sup42]

Big losses for the Warriors with Hurrell and Johnson out.

The Sharks are no mugs.....quite capable of uspeting the Warriors. They play a style that targets Vatuvei.

Last time we played them they found easy gains through the Warriors right edge for a change.

The Warriors will do well to win this.

 

[Rebel]

Gallen confirmed to be out

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Not sure I'd put much stock in the last time we played them considering the circumstances.

Having said that, like the Dragons they do tend to play that grinding confrontational game that makes us get a little impatient and force things, leading to mistakes. If we play with patience we're a good shot.

A good attitude in defense and we should have enough on attack even without Hurrell and Johnson.

 

[gypsy]

Ol' love handles will need to have a big game today if Sharks are any chance

 

[Jaegerex]

I'm happy CT has been playing well for the Warriors but may he have his worst game of the season today :lol:.

 

[gypsy]

Poor effort there. Even had the ball in the wrong hand.
