This will come back to bite me but I don't rate that Warriors team. Shaun Johnson has covered up some massive holes in it.

Fifita's big backside is probably more valuable to us than Johnson's wizardry to the Warriors.

Going to be tough.

That said, last two weeks were games that we would traditionally lose. Perhaps we've turned the corner?

If Barba off the bench is ever going to be a "thing" this season, it has to be in this game when their big boppas are stuffed.

This isi the game not to be direct in taking the ball up, but change of direction plays.

This game is made for Ennis & Bird, then have Holmes & Barba looking for offloads

Run big blokes at angles over the top of Townsend and Lolohea, they cant tackle and the centres there to protect them are duuuuumb.

Vatuvei will score two to three tries through Holmes and Beale.

Gonna be a high scorer I reckon

Our forwards can match theirs, their pack is not that good with a few injuries showing. Their backs are good but CT and TL are not a halves combination we should fear.

We have beaten 2 better forward packs in the last 2 games, with backlines arguably better than the Warriors.
Don't change our game plan too much, just a few tweaks and we should come away with a comfortable 2 point win.

Cut out our dumb / unforgivable plays such as kicking out on the full, passes over the sideline & penalties in possession, & we should be able to beat anyone.

We have already saved ourselves 4 play the ball drops and at least 2 laying on the tackled player penalties with a fif.

The other guys like taga and heighno have shown before they do step up when gal is out. Hopefully the same for fif

Yes we will benefit from him not being there. The eyes of the law are heavily focused on him & I think him not being there a couple of weeks, we can handle. I still reckon he invited the Dogs back into the game twice with his stupid play-the-balls - we were well on top at both on both occasions. The first 1 directly led to a try to them to get them moving.

Yes we will miss his barnstorming runs but he's not all positive. Imagine how good he could be if he cut the crap out of his game & just played footy? Would easily be the most feared forward in the game!!

I don't get the he scored a try, had 5 tackle busts, 30 tackles, so it's ok that he loses the ball / gets penalised 2 or 3 or 4 times in a game. It's not ok, he could do both - lots of positives / very few negatives.

Ennis to us is equivalent to what Shaun Johnson is to the warriors.

As long as Ennis is there I'm confident.

im not sure who will make up for Fifita's metres up the middle but either way ennis is playing so all is good!

Yeh, it's a shame Lewis was hurt but fortunately it's only minor - thought it was the end of the season for him.

As for Ennis, yes he controls our game immensely & we will always be a chance with him in the team.

Only "criticism" of him from the Dogs game is he didn't kick enough - left it to others & our kicking game was ordinary again.

Fifita and Lewis are our best attacking weapons. We will struggle without them.

Dare I say it but maybe Gal will be the main man up the centre (i know he already is, just pointing it out)
As for people worrying about A-Fi's play the ball heroics be careful because it was Boogs who did the last one against the Dogs which let them attack our line, and then Boogs again who got wrong footed and left the gaping whole for them to score.
A-Fi had a monster game except for his stupid penalties, I dont know if Boogs has a monster game in him.
