8pm = bloody stupid time for a kickoff. We're not being televised in Australia are we?? What's wrong with 7pm or 7:30???

Knights by 20.

From all reports we'll be using close to our best team for parts of the match.

Is there any news on the Warriors starting line-up?

Warriors by 12

 

[Bicey_18]

You say Warriors by 12 yet you dont even know who is playing for you guys?

 

[nzwarriors60]

So im just having a guess, I will do a proper one when i see the team.

Our team should be very strong this year. Better than last.

Warriors to win.

 

[nzwarriors60]

Yep alot of people say we will make the 4. Hopefully we can go better in the finals...

 

[hitman82]

I doubt we will field anything near a full-strength squad for this trial. Hopefully get to see a few of the young guys and new recruits make a play for the top team. Fai, Henderson, Shortland etc.

 

[ozbash]

Knights by 20.

From all reports we'll be using close to our best team for parts of the match.

:lol: :lol:

from all reports you'll need them.

warriors by 40 odd...

 

[blain]

why wouldnt we win? comparing last years results, we should win by 20. its not like wes is going to steer you too a win at centre. we have lost no one who was a big part of the team next year, and have some very promising youngsters.

id say warriors by 18.

 

[Jono078]

What so funny?

I'm not expecting to the Warriors to use anything close to their best team.

And id say beyond your top 20 you havnt got much experience. Cleary doesnt seem to like giving the younger ones a go and get them some FG experience.

So I dont think it's that unrealistic to say Knights by 20 if you mainly play your reserves.

 

[-Dr.J-]

Problem is, our reserves are in many instances, better than some of our starters.
