The loss of Thaiday and Hoffman has indeed evened up the game, but if Te'o plays at his best, he can emulate Thaiday.
Beale was very good at the start of the year, albeit not as good as Hoffman, but still not that great a loss, and I honestly believe we don't lose much either with Copley on the wing as compared to Beale.
Ironically, I think the left wing is where we could win the game, especially since Berro looks to be playing on Hodgo's side, and the Warriors will have Tupou/Moon facing Copley/Reed.
Of course, it would help if we get the butterfingers Manu of old, especially given Hodges and Yow Yeh will be waiting to pounce, and we all know they can!
Utmost vigilance is required for Locke and Johnson's speed and evasiveness, as well as a James Maloney that just keeps getting better, and of course, the Mateo offloads.
I hope the Locky factor, sold out Suncorp and our defense wins the game in what should be a close low scoring battle.
The Warriors are a very good team, that will only get better as their youth comes of age. I see them winning a premiership sooner than later, but just not yet. Locky deserves to go out holding the premiership's trophee!
