Storm will grind them out of it.

 

[sup42]

Warrior Ambush.

Storm robbed by home crowd, Craig enraged, Stephen looks the same with googely eyes after epic upset as he does after poor showing against brave Knights.

Warriors by goldern point..

 

[TheFrog]

The Storm are the Warriors' bitches, are they not? Storm scored all their points in the first 5 minutes last week. I think they might have trouble with the Warriors attack.

 

[Todd Hoffman]

Storm. I wasn't impressed by the Warriors last week against the knights.

The fact that we struggled against the Knights in round one was a surprise to no Warriors fan, as per the damning stat that it's our first R1 win since 2009 and 5th overall in our club history (7th including 96 & 02 where R2 was our first game).
Even though it was cringeworthingly close to being just another capitulation to an unfavoured team (which is the one thing we are consistent at!), the fact we actually held it together to the end was a big step forward for this damn team hah!

We have a knack of pulling awesome performances out for the Storm on occasion so hoping this is one of those performances!!! Also a rare Friday game (at home no less!) so hope the locals turn up in numbers, I'd be there if I lived in Auckland (or wasn't too poor to travel at the moment :'( ).

Exactly my thoughts, Warriors always seemed to upset Melbourne and then I think I recall tipping them last year only for the Storm to belt them 42-0 ... and that was the end of me backing them

Valuable life lesson - never bet on a Warriors game, it'll never come out the way you tipped it!

 

[Das Gupta]

Warriors in an upset.

This is true. The one game of the season they will put a complete defensive effort is when you back overs for the game total after weeks of leaking soft tries after racing out to lads. Jerks

Hard to see the Storm not winning - a great test for the Warriors in either case.
