[Speedy Gonzales]

We’re gonna need our forwards to replicate what they did to the roosters for the first 30 mins to have a chance

Api and Luai back will be huge

 

[Woody90]

Going Tigers for my upset of the week. Wahs seem to be in a bit of trouble with injuries.

 

[Vic Mackey]

The clash earlier in the year was a very high quality game. Wahs got the win but had a bit go their way with us losing 2 guys in the first 20 mins and then the CNK lay down penalty to win the game. Theyre now missing him, Barnett and Metcalfe whereas weve got Bula missing (and galvin from that game if you want to go there).

We've been pretty good the last 5 weeks despite being 1 and 4. The only game we were out of was V Manly when we were missing our whole spine. Should be a great forward battle, I give us a good chance with the wahs outs, also fell theyve been down for a few weeks. Luai and Api huge ins. But cant tip us, NZ by 8.

 

[Fangs]

Wests weren't meant to win last week. I had them penciled in to win this game as a shock.

I'm backing Warriors now. They are coming off a bye. Boyd isn't that amazing but I think a decent replacement 7. Maybe one of the better ones in the comp. Anyone watch SOS last night or Hastings for Newcastle recently? Surely Boyd can't be worse than either of them.

 

[Someone2]

Warriors by 10

 

[Warrimoo3]

Tanah Boyd is a useful NRL standard player who for some reason gets talked down. The Warriors went from having virtually the smallest relative injury toll in the comp to losing their 2 best players to season ending injuries. A shame really because they seem to have garnered a lot of support in New Zealand.

 

[Wb1234]

Tannah Boyd chance to keep the warriors season alive after they lose their best player

Hopefully he can get some help from Cht instead of being just a passenger when the attack is on

 

[speedster]

Unsure how Boyd goes in this team but he's a competent 1st grade halfback. i thought Martin would get the call up ahead of him thinking back to how well he played last year. This year though, he has been exiled and given little time onfield for some reason. He does cover multiple positions from the bench but Boyd would want to play really well to keep Martin at bay I would have thought.

Anyhow, have to tip Wahs nonetheless but, Tigers can remain in most fights this year.

 

[mave]

Tigers 13plus methinks.

 

[King hit]

Might be a tigers win today. Warriors without Metcalf and Bennett and the Tigers coming of scoring 30 against the Roosters

 

[Wb1234]

That’s good for the fans that tunnel

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

The return of the rice bubble (Tanah Boyd)

 

[Diesel]

Banana skin game for the Wahs

 

[Meth]

Soft penalty- no real stripping action

 

[Diesel]

Sutton keen to reem the Wahs today

 

[Wb1234]

Soft af

 

[Diesel]

Try assist to Sutton

 

[Meth]

The Berry/DWZ defensive woes continue

 

[Munky]

Soft penalty- no real stripping action

Any smart player is going to release the ball the moment they feel an opposition arm pinned under their own.
