[Juju]

6pm Sunday evening for a Warriors game? geniused. It'll be sub 8000 attendance for sure

 

[Diesel]

That's what happens when channel 9 tells you when the game will be played

 

[Rhino_NQ]

warriors to keep the roll on, no lillyman and possibly no hoffman if zerotackle is correct. No cordner, guerra and ferguson is a bigger hole to fill

 

[Valheru]

Bounce back factor!!

Should only lose this one by 20.

 

[jamaman]

Warriors by 20

 

[Whino]

Warriors by 30. Chooks form has been fowl of late.

 

[Leber]

f**kin ken maumalo....

We better score a lot tries because he will let in at least two.

 

[Rhyno]

Warriors by 16

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Warriors to lose a game they're expected to win. Us by 4

 

[roostersrule2]

RTS's former team: 50
RTS's current team. 0

 

[Pennies]

Warriors by 60.

 

[Evil_Mush]

The fact this is on a Sunday evening means it'll probably be a Roosters win, just to make me super grumpy on Monday morning!

I'd like to give it to the Warriors, but no serious jaded Warriors fan truly thinks this team WILL win whatever the next game happens to be, it really is just wait till the day and see (form / history / team selection be damned), hoping that the inevitable crash and burn performance is fended off for another week!
Even if we do win, there's always the asterisk on our victories this time of year that is *Origin period (even though we have one out ourselves, or two in a few weeks if Hoffman gets picked for III).

Young gun half Ata Hingano didn't play reserves yesterday, reckon he could be a late inclusion for SJ possibly. I've watched him a fair bit in the juniors, certainly one to watch if he does get a go in the main game today.

It certainly feels like a game the Warriors should win at any rate, which means they are likely enough to lose. If they win this then they will have a three match winning streak, up against the ten-match streak Sharkies next week. Don't want to think too far ahead though...

Johnson is out??

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

No, SJ is fine. He got a cork in the last game and was taken off as a precaution.

 

[WithTheDawn]

Could just be there as cover for SJ or TL, both have had some niggles.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

That Blacklock try was 2001, not 2000. Geez Fox are almost as bad as 9 when it comes to getting dates and years wrong.

 

[typicalfan]

Warriors 28-12.

I think it will be close for the first 50 minutes and the Roosters to start well.

 

[THE CHAMP]

The only way fox could f**k up better than nine is if they show a netball game by mistake.
