Actually, it just occurred to me maybe the Hurrell switch is to allow him more ball, since we will be missing our main strike weapon, and we tend to attack down that flank.

And perhaps the fact that the majority of NRL sides use their left side as their attacking target as well?

I wouldnt consider Hurrell a speed merchant...


He may not look it, but he's had some zippy runs in games this year - e.g. leaving Mini in his dust against Roosters, that try against Tigers where Gould was going gaga over Fish's pace in support, picking up Walsh's scraps and speeding to the line against the Panthers.

God I hope we finally pull a BIG win out, and don't get lazy just cos they're missing a bunch of Origin players (which is never out of the question).

Hurrell is the definition of explosive. He may not have massive pace over 100m... but his sprints are Very fast off the mark.

Fish - Hurrell - Locke

some speed there

Well let them loose in some open space for a change, see what they can do. It's time for the opposition to start worrying about playing the Warriors, for traditional reasons of attack, as opposed to us worrying about other sides.

I'm going out blazing and predicting a 50-16 wipe out. We'll still be ninth.

I just hope Fish and Hurrell can defend this week, otherwise we're going to be ripped open like a tin can down that side.

will Bowen play though, thought he was named for Qld ?

There's some doubt because Qld have named such a large squad (20). They're giving Slater every chance to be fit.

The Cowboys are demanding some certainty asap and want Bowen, if released, to be able to fly out with the team on Friday, or Saturday at the latest, in order to play against us.

Source: SMH (today).

The little prick's back to his best form and we don't want him coming at us.

As long as it's a can of whipass (Hurrell) rather than sardines (Fish) we'll be alright.

I'm looking forward to a few kisses getting blown by Konrad but I'd like to clarify who he directs them at? His fiance? Mum? All the ladies in the Warriors fan base?

If the Cows end up being without Thurston, Bowen, Tamou and Scott and we can't manage to win at least 20-30...

Definitely a game we need to start a roll from.

Add Tate to that list aswell. I'm hoping they win but we all know the warriors are famous for losing against teams they're supposed to beat.

I don't care to win by 20-30. I just want to win.

Bowen is a massive danger, but breaking up his combination with Thurston is a massive dent in his game.

i also think omar deserved another chance on the wing. but i cant understand why he is not playing their for the jnr warriors. the fish has not done anything in his time in fg to suggest he will be a success playing wing
