Geez that Warriors side looks ordinary. If Dragons don't win by 24+ then they should be concerned.

Well its a lot less ordinary than the side we put out last week, Manu's back.

 

[hitman82]

Yeah but Seymour's out... did you see what happened when he left the field last week? We imploded in about 5 minutes.
With no props and no halfback we are pretty much doomed. I almost never tip against us, but Dragons by 30.

 

[hutch]

is there any chance of stanley playing? need to know, i want to buy him in fantasy league and his price will go up dramatically next week if he does play.

 

[petetheileet]

dont risk it mate, just buy him...he prob wont play but he is only a cheapie and look at all the reserves in the backline u got, just buy him now n sell him once he has played 3 more games, he should double in price by then.

nah, this isn't the warriors of last year. i'd take our halfback over manu any time.

maloney isn't bad, but we need to be able to score points and for that we need seymour and maloney.

pretty good advice! cheers, will do!

 

[Rovelli]

You never discount the 'bounce-back' factor after a shocker the week before, and if we were playing anyone but the Dragons, we'd go in with a chance...but this Dragons team is so well-drilled, whilst we're seemingly on a road to nowhere in 2010 due to all the bumps along the way. The Dragons won the corresponding clash 29-4 last year (as someone has already alluded to) and a similar scoreline this year should not surprise many.

 

[Eaglestar]

Warriors have shocking record against Dragons. Some players including Vatuvei back for Warriors but with Weyman and Cooper back in side for Dragons can't see anything but easy win for Dragons.

...exactly. It'd pretty much take a superhuman game from Manu, combined with Isaac John and Maloney seeing the matrix 80 minutes, for us to have any chance of winning.
Although it is strangely comforting to see a huge difference when our halfback isn't playing - kind of weird for a Warriors team haha.

the only thing going in our favour is that we are due a win against them :lol:

Fly over to Auckland.

Then it's 2pm, and the alcohol has gone to your head in the plane

 

[Jason Maher]

Is this the same Warriors team that bitched and moaned because the Tits elected to wear their away jersey at home?

 

[Timmah]

The reasoning is a bit different here though, the Titans/Broncos decision was based on heat, comfortability etc... this is just a promotion and I don't think the heat will be an issue in the early throes of winter...

and not because dragons fans will get on the rag about wearing an alternate jersey.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Warriors fans whinged about the jersey change because it was an attempt by the opposition to gain an advantage (and why the hell not? If I were the Broncs/Tits I would've done it too)

Dragons fans are whinging because their alternate jersey is f**king ugly.

There's no advantage to be had by the Warriors here other than being able to take off their jerseys and wave them like white flags after the first 20 minutes.
