I hope Jack Wighton spends the week doing shoulder exercises because he's going to have carry the entire makeshift backline on Saturday

 

[Leber]

At one point, we beat souths 10 times in a row.

Now that stat has basically flipped.

 

[GongPanther]

Warriors by 28-18.

 

[JamesRustle]

Warriors to give Souths a good old fashioned thumping. Warriors by 40.

 

[Saxon]

Bunnies are cooked. Wahs by plenty.

 

[bedlam breakout]

JD simply wont put LM to centre will he? he will have plenty of time to rue this lack of authority when hes looking for another job in the UK championship

 

[Vic Mackey]

The Warriors have low key been pretty poor this year. Their best game was the loss V Storm. Still at this time of the year you just want the 2 points which theyve got the last two weeks.

Souths were still sh*t last week but the win will do their confidence the world of good. From memory theyve beaten up on NZ for a while now. Im tipping an upset, Souths by 4.

 

[yobbo84]

Rain could be the great leveller. Otherwise, I have no idea how our makeshift backline contains the Warriors.

 

[This Year?]

I want to see AFB trample over kung foo Cody and LM to score a try.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Wahs to make Bunniesman wahhhhhhhhh

 

[Someone2]

Warriors by 8

 

[Juju]

Whatever happened to Bunniesman?

 

[This Year?]

Whatever happened to Bunniesman?

He's in cryo until Souths make the finals.

 

[JamesRustle]

I want to see AFB trample over kung foo Cody and LM to score a try.

I want to see your multi for this game... if you don't have AFB FTS then you are a coward.

 

[sup42]

Marata Niukore and Dallin Watene Zelesniak out.

Rabbits have to be favorites when you look at how important Niukore is to an already small pack and DWZ being their main attacking weapon.

Main attacking weapon? He’s a great player no doubt but main attacking weapon over SJ, RTS, Egan, CNK and AFB? No chance.

In saying that though, Niukore is a huge loss and combined with the weather making it a slow wet track, really gives Souths a good.

Warriors by 4

Warriors by 4

I really meant finisher.
The Warriors favorite move only works with DWZ flying in the corner with those dives, Pompey does not have the speed.

 

[Apey]

Warriors clearly the better side but they could still Warriors this up.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Fine and sunny this morning and sun forecast all afternoon, track will be a bit damp but probably not overly heavy.
