What an engrossing battle this will be. Maybe it would be more entertaining if the Warriors could loan the Knights RTS just for this game so they can have an actual fullback who knows how to take a hit up without getting bent over? Mitch Pus vs Sean O’Sullivan will be the battle of the Roosters rejects.

Warriors by 4, late in the game on Sushi Whyalla’s side of the field.

Given knights record at home with the refs and the fact that the warriors have a few loose cannons in the team, I see this being a 20+ Knights win. The only thing that can stop that happening is Tex Hoy, actually think Watson would do a better job at no.1

Tipping Warriors though the changes to the team will be pretty disruptive. Egan has been good at hooker, so it'll just be how well they can hold it together. If RTS can get his hands on the ball a lot this game they will win. Newcastle will match them in the forwards I think but first game for Pearce will be too rusty, and without Ponga not sure they can score enough.

Probably comes down to who's going to be more disciplined.

NZ 30
Newcastle 20
