Warriors by 6...

 

[SilentOne]

really confident the warriors can go 6 in a row. They always get good support in Perth.

 

[AnfieldIron]

Rabbitohs by 8.

Georgey Burgess back, McQueen back. Warriors in good form but I think we are the better side. 9-day turnaround and used to the Perth trip now.

Not sure getting the Broncs by 2 is good enough form to beat us.

 

[Card Shark]

Why is the Warriors game being taken there. Surely a Sydney team, Canberra or Melbourne would've been better.

Long way for the Warriors to travel,

That's probably why we did it.


This is the first time I've been worried since the Sharks game.. If we come out with the right attitude we will win. A bit of complacency and the Warriors could easily get the upset.

 

[BranVan3000]

Warriors will go into this believing their own hype, and that will be their undoing IMO

 

[Card Shark]

That's probably why we did it. .

I figured as much. Smart move.

 

[Nemesis]

Warriors at home were lucky to scrape a win against the Broncs yesterday with points being scored against the run of play.

Souths have very strong support in Perth and Warriors will likely face a wall of Burgii this week.
With our full squad back, they will not be able to contain us.... Souths by plenty.

 

[Fire]

Warriors will have plenty of support. souffs will have none. Their fans don't even travel to Homebush, let alone Perth.

Warriors by 14. Teams are starting to figure souffs out now.

I hope it's not raining when the plane flys.

 

[Evil_Mush]

I don't think the Warriors will be "believing their own hype" as such, particularly due to the nature of the Broncos win (they'll know it was desperately close to a loss if not for a few key moments).

The Warriors will also have at the back of their mind the last time they played in Perth (the Manly capitulation which triggered the implosion that was the second half of their 2012 season), and will be wary of a repeat of that ill-fated day.

We took Souths close earlier this year so I'm going to go with a tentative 4-pt victory to the Warriors, given we've got much better defensively in these last few games.

Yeah, seemed that way against Canberra :lol:

 

[Fire]

Canberra were always going to go poorly with their best ever player in the history of their whole club now playing for Saints.

[Aragorn]

Warriors have a new found belief and attitude. They will want this more than the bunnies who look to be a long way a head on the table.

So as long as Johnson doesnt have an "off" game - and he's had a few too many this season - Warriors will take it by 4.

Lets see how many stain fans turn up at ANZ in a couple of weeks to watch your team get reamed.

Taking a Sydney v Sydney game to Perth is beyond stupid.

It has been the Storm in the past. Canberra was an option. But no better an option than NZ.

How far the away team have to travel is literally the least of the home teams concerns when deciding where to play.

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