So we could have...

No hurrell
No Hoffman
No vatuvei
No mannering
No johnson
And maybe no gubb apparently

Awesome....

 

[Rebel]

Scratch that... Johnson just said he's totally fine...

 

[Tommy Smith]

If they don't play we'll lose.

But if they all play we should win.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Warriors have awoken early from their slumber this season.
Warriors by 6.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Warriors are on a pretty decent roll, wouldn't surprise if we lose this.

 

[Tommy Smith]

We could lose by 2 or win by 30 tbh.

Two unpredictable teams.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

I can't be arsed checking Tommy but don't Warriors/Roosters usually win one apiece? If so, it's pretty much their turn. It's been a close rivalry since the 02 GF

 

[Tommy Smith]

We've won the last two. But they won the last game at the SFS in 2013 when SKD has a serious case of crab hands.

So hopefully they're not due. On paper we're a much better team... that'll change in 2016. But regardless footy isn't played on paper so it could we could be in for a brutal contest if we don't get on top of them early.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Johnson is fine apprently, it was just precautionary. Haven't heard anything much about Mannering. I rate Gubb but he's interchangeable with Rapira or Lisone talent wise so we don't lose anything there. Ditto Hurrell, frankly I think Fusitua is probably in better form than him anyway. I'd have Hoffman and Vatuvei back though if I could, what team wouldn't?

 

[shiznit]

As confirmed in the Warriors forum...

The Warriors are a completely different side when Sam Tomkins plays.

He adds the spark and extra playmaker that takes the Warriors over the edge to a contender.

The Warriors are undefeated this season when Tomkins plays.

If Tomkins plays... The Warriors will win...

 

[roostersrule2]

I hope Mannering plays, he's in my dream team.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Vatuvei possibly in. Definitely gives us more attacking options and go forward if he plays, though Jonno Wright was excellent on defence last week.

 

[jamaman]

Manu will be needed as an extra forwad

Yep, especially if the wet conditions stay. I'm not sure whether I want a wet or dry track for this one.

 

[Rebel]

Are the warriors nsw cup team really playing Illawarra for the second week in a row?

That seems odd

Stuff like this happens more often then you'd think in NSW/QLD Cup. It's so weird considering it'd be an anomaly in even the most unprofessional of competitions.

 

[Timmah]

Very common in NSW Cup especially this year. Lots of games being doubled up within a few weeks of each other.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

I hear SKD's been stood down due to off-field stuff?

 

[Tommy Smith]

I haven't heard about that. It's not on any forum either.

I'd be surprised if it's true.

 

[Rebel]

He can't be stood down. No proof he did anything.
