Extended reserves - Vailea, Lussick, Volkman, Tuaupiki, Sironen.

All of them except for Sironen are named for the NSW Cup team. Jazz is coming back via NSW Cup this week too.

Sposed to be 32 here on Saturday. Hope they can handle the heat.
good thing for us is the chooks aren’t used to it either after the last couple of summers we’ve had.
I don't know what to wear. The reserves kick-off at 12:40pm, main game at three. That's the whole afternoon in the sun. The supporters group have us in Bay 29, that won't be covered, ay?

I can't see myself sweating in my mostly black (and cheap) Warriors jersey nor do I want to wear my white Warriors tee as all the sunscreen will ruin it.

What I should've had by now is a nice blue polo shirt, for moments like these.

It's unthinkable attending a game without my colours!

Looking at those teams, the optimist in me wants to say that we might be able to eke out some advantages in the forwards, particularly when we go to our bench. However, there is a big gulf in quality in the backs. The difference between their centres and ours is probably the biggest gulf in quality it's possible to have.

The other thing that stands out is the extraordinary height of all of their wingers and centres - hard to imagine a taller 4some has ever been assembled.

According to my mate you're going to be directly facing the sun too. He's got us tickets on the exact opposite side so we can avoid the sun. (I hope he got the sides correct. :D )

Tickets are stupidly expensive for a club match ...

This was the same thing I noted looking at the team lists. We might find some parity in the forwards but their backs have class all over them. There isn't a match up there that we don't look second in.

Still, I would've said that about the Dolphins too. But their first choice forwards are better than ours. The template is there though, dominate their forwards and that backline cant cut loose.

They’re way below strength in the pack, but if they can hold their own their backline oozes class, ours… not so much

The Warrior Nation put in so much effort that I'll always be with them, but fair play to you and your mate avoiding the brutal sun.

I'm balking at going. Sydney is just so expensive now. Saturday could easily be a $200 day ($45 ticket, pre-game/post game meet-ups, drinks, food, travel). I work, I can afford it but, you know, can I trust the Warriors to make it worth it?

Take a backpack with a couple of changes of tops!
Otherwise I'm sure with a Roosters home game there will be plenty of seats to move around to some shade.

Luckily I'm within walking distance or easy tram, was planning on going out for dinner anyway, and don't drink at sports, so I can handle the Warriors letting me down.

I'm really struggling to fathom that a seat in the corners to a second round club match is $50. It's breaking my brain.
