Warriors are a real chance. They're playing excellent footy and their win over the Roosters does convince they're more than capable of an upset.

Warriors 6+

 

[Juju]

Based on what? They have never played there. Didn't your mother tell you not to tell fibs?

*faceplam

I think Souths will get up here. They're dispatching teams with ease.

:lol:

the Warriors are the obvious choice to play in Perth for an Australian club. they have a HUGE amount of expat support in perth.

Naturally... 'cause Perth is only a short 5,346 km hike from Auckland, it's a logical second home for lost sheep shaggers. :sarcasm:

Souths have played a home game in Perth for the last 5 years and built a large supporter & membership base there. It's South's home game, not Warrior's... there'll be far more cardinal & myrtle than black & white in the stands I'm afraid.

WTF??

Perth has a decent expat kiwi contingent. And the expats always seem to come out when the warriors are playing well.

Don't take it as a given that souths will out number the warriors.

The Warriors often outnumber the broncos in Brisbane and the Titans on the Gold Coast

 

[vvvrulz]

The Warriors in this sort of form will be the strongest side the Bunnies have faced in a while, and they only just got past us last time.

I'm liking the Warriors to win it, but it will be close.

No offence, but I think there are still more Aussies there than Kiwis.... Perth wasn't in NZ last time I looked and Souths have been far better at marketing their brand there than the warriors. We will easily outnumber you.

In case you haven't noticed, Souths are in great form and are in first place for a reason.... not that the warriors will be a push over, but since the last time we played, Souths have gone up a gear or two as well.

It may be close again, but we will be too strong.... Souths by 10

Ah yes I stand corrected.

Lol.... Yet the Warriors fans outnumbered Manly fans in Perth last season... And they routinely do it in Brisbane against the broncos.

I'm not saying they will definitely outnumber souths... But Perth has a pretty large expat kiwi population.

The Western Force have seen that themselves when they play the nz sides.

I guess we will have to wait and see....

A crowd of 20,095 attended the match in another boost to Perth's bid to win their own NRL side.

But it hardly felt like a home away from home for Manly, who had to contend with a pro-Warriors crowd despite the game being in Australia.

 

[Nemesis]

lol Manly fans... a rare species hardly ever seen outside the peninsula,
rarely venture beyond the spit bridge and are practically extinct elsewhere.

Big difference between playing Manly and Souths. We have many more fans over there.

 

[shiznit]

For sure... Manly are known for being terrible travellers....

But that's an attendance of 20,095 which was by all accounts pro warriors...

Considering that NIB stadium has a capacity of 20,500 I reckon it may not be cut and dried that its going to be dominated by souths fans.

And I also reckon Souths know this... Which is why they picked the Warriors to take over... A great move by souths IMO.

Big difference between playing Manly and Souths. We have many more fans over there.

Something also to remember is that the last 2 seasons the Souths v Brisbane games in Perth have been around 15,000 each year...

The Warriors vs Manly(who we all recognise as having poor traveling fans) in Perth was 20,000.

I'm not in Perth but I have family there... And they all say there's a decent lot of expats there.

Maybe one of our Perth members can give us an insight...

Rabbits by 10.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Warriors to get a 10-0 lead early on only for the ref to blow the pea out until its 12-10. Then it's anyones game
