laugh if we turned up in the black jersey....

sharks by an impressive 4.

 

[Timmah]

Speaking of jerseys, are the NZers ever going to crack out that brilliant Maori-themed jersey from 2006?

 

[Inferno]

We'll whip the warriors 24 - 10.

 

[Fast Eddie]

On the subject of jerseys we are changing our jersey for next season as we have swapped from Puma to Canterbury.

 

[Timmah]

As are we... Nike to xBlades

That should be our normal jersey.

 

[ozbash]

warriors ceo said next years strip will look very similar to the Guttenbiel testimonial jersey.

hope he's right.

this is a must win game for us, i think we can do it.

Warriors by 10

Unless of course the Sharks cheat again by 'missing' a shot at goal like last time

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

a missed shot wont help if we are behind by 10.

you guys have been good at home this year. we are the best performed away side.

will be a good matchup.

good to see wade back as well for you blokes.

 

[Shorty]

Geez Warriors were good last week.
This should be an interesting matchup...considering both are extremely aggressive with the defence.
I'm tipping Sharks I think.

 

[Inferno]

As with most games, I think we have it in the forwards (just) and they have it in the backs.

I think we hold a slight advantage in the halves though.

 

[Rovelli]

Forwards will be a tight tussle and it will be close. Who is better is a subjective issue. In the backs, we should have the advantage, but the Sharks have some good finishers too.

It's a tight one, but if we continue to play a high intensity as we have been in the past few weeks (sans the Souths game), I think we can win another tough one.

[Mr Angry]

If Rovelli is left out - the Warriors by 6.

If Rovelli is in Sharks by 12.

 

[Non Terminator]

Jeez this one is trippy. After last week, both teams tuned up quite well.
The only reason I'd tip the Warriors is the home factor, but the Sharks can turn up well to play anywhere.
Tipping the Warriors in golden point.

On the subject of jerseys we are changing our jersey for next season as we have swapped from Puma to Canterbury.

Have we? Now that's news.

Mannering to carve up.
