We will win by a comfortable about but unlike last year I don't think we will get on top until midway through the second half. Warriors will be determined to avoid what happened last season.

30-14

After losing pretty ugly last week, the Storm are gonna go full Storm and wrestlef**k the Warriors right out of it
They might not be able to after Wayne Bennett's edict.

Warriors with a couple of outs. RTS, Kata, they should be lubing up right about now.

Huge changes.

Storm - Scott out, replaced by Seve. Kaufusi joins bench.

Warriors are in all sorts. RTS Kata and Green out. Beale to the back, Hiku wing, Ayshford approved to come into the centres, Herbert joins him there. Harris shifts to halfback, Papali'i replaces him backrow, and Satae joins the bench.

Before hearing of the Warriors outs, I thought the Storm would win by 30.

But when I read that RTS was out, straight away I said to myself, "Storm by 60."

And then I saw that Kata was out too and thought to myself, "f**k me! Storm probably by 40 now."

Either way I'm sure Coach K will be happy with the lads and their effort.

Yeah well Green is out now too, Kearney had Hayze Perham a rookie but a specialist fullback/half on the extended bench, does Kearney use him, of course not, he puts Tohu Harris in the halves and leaves Perham as 18th man, why because Kearney is a f**king moron. The result was already a foregone conclusion, the only good that can come from this is if Kearney is sacked straight after the game, to spare us three more years of this crap.

Send in the clowns. The dog wouldn't touch that lineup for breakfast.

Either the Warriors are throwing this game or it's a perfect example of why I hate this fixture more than any other during the year (maybe both).

Agreed.

Of all the clubs in the NRL that I'd love to see do well - besides the team I follow of course - the Warriors would be at the top of the list.

But it's painfully obvious, and indeed has been for a while (like since his appointment), that the Warriors are on a one way path to sustained irrelevance and mediocrity under Kearney.

The bloke is an embarrassment as a first grade coach and the fact that he got an extension in the pre season is criminal negligence.

I genuinely feel sorry for you Warriors fans.

I know people like to criticise the Roosters, but all Sombrero jokes aside, when things go wrong Uncle Nick has always taken inmediate measures to seek to rectify the situation. He simply does not tolerate mediocrity.

Graham Murray was sacked a year after making a GF. Which led to a Premiership. Ricky Stuart was sacked two years after three straight GFs with Wayne Bennett lined up to replace him. Freddy Fittler was sacked after just two seasons when it was painfully obvious that he was not the right man for the job. Brian Smith then got the flick two years after a GF.

All of that led us to Trent Robinson and the sustained success we have now.

Now Nick hasn't always got it right - far from it - but he's never tolerated failure and more importantly was never willing to just accept a middling footy side and go through the motions.

This is in stark contrast to the Warriors and a slightly lesser extent the Dragons; both of whom not only reward mediocrity but seem to revel in it as evidenced by recent coaching extensions.

Perham could go to FB, Beale to wing and Hiku to the halves but I doubt Kearney wants two debutants in the same game.

Its a loss anyway. May aswell play him and give him some experience.

Then I saw the potato head has chosen poor old Harris at 7. "Storm by 70"

The process, where great backrowers play halfback.

Who needs halves like Lino or Johnson? Not Kearney he has got dis!!!!!

Imagine Potato was Brown or Mary, he gets away with killing a team over in NZ.

Why is this game always in the stain that is Victoria? Why not NZ?

Not sure why it's not in NZ, but It can often feel like a Warriors home game in Melbourne. Plenty of Warriors fans and average Kiwi supporters go to this game. Not your average Melbourne game, for sure. I just wish it started earlier.


At least Tohu in the halves will sure up the defensive line. The one positive hahaha... but man, Storm coming off a loss, at home, on a special occasion against THAT line up? Yikes.
