[Valheru]

Have to go warriors but it would also be peak warriors to lose this one.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Felt like we lost last week as opposed to souths winning.

Api, Papalli, Toa, seyfarth and maybe Olam/lobb back. Sezer gone so excited to see Galvin/Latu halves pairing. Hopefully Bateman, Klemmer and Doueihi shot into the sun.

You’d think warriors at home but also that we make a contest of it.

 

[Saxon]

Should be NZ easily, but Warriors.

 

[JamesRustle]

Warriors will need to find someone who can kick goals or score 3 more tries than the Tigers.

Warriors by 14. Total match points 60-70.

 

[Leber]

lol we have no backs.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

lol we have no backs.

3 or 4 games total experience for our centre pairing, and a winger (Special Ed) who is pretty much emergency cover these days. RTS is going to have to do a lot of organising at the back.

 

[chrisD]

I don't know 3 to 5 but otherwise strong Warriors side on paper, should get it done easy.

 

[Leber]

3 or 4 games total experience for our centre pairing, and a winger (Special Ed) who is pretty much emergency cover these days. RTS is going to have to do a lot of organising at the back.

Yeah Kosi isn’t first grade.
Not even reserve grade quality.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

The Russell Packer - Ben Matulino plate.

 

[Evil_Mush]

Kosi has been one of the major defensive weak links in our big losses in recent seasons (Roosters & Titans this year, Roosters & Dolphins last year, Melbourne ANZAC 70 pointer), so bit of a bad omen for Warriors fans, whether fair or not!

I'd like a big win, but who knows the way this year has been going! Just a game where all our players are still on the field/bench at the end will be nice!
