Team vs storm

[Rugged Rigid Robust Roy]

Warriors 5.00 to win at Sportsbet. Line is 14.5, Ill take some of that.

Warriors will have their best team in for the year and Storm will be exposed with origin, injuries and Suspension's.

 

[Tongue]

We're overdue for a win over the Storm. That's unless we're no longer their bogey team.

I enjoy/ed being their bogey team, as I know you all do/did.

Like always, its gonna go one of two ways.
A tight one that they win with a late penalty/drop kick.
Luckily Cam Smith isn't there to milk the penalty.
or..
A bloodbath.

 

[Tongue]

Team named - bit hard to comment as its a scatter gun naming.
However a sneaky Fonua Blake wearing number 23 - in the hope the opposition coach wont notice him down there.

 

[Meth]

Fonua-Blake set for comeback against Melbourne

After 10 weeks out, major signing Addin Fonua-Blake is set to return for the Vodafone Warriors against the Storm.

Tevaga dropped

 

[Rich102]

About time.

 

[Grizzman]

Surely a last minute change brings AFB in for JTB? JTB has been largely ineffectual this year.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

If Sironen is fit, there is no spot for Jazz. Sironen covers all the spots Jazz does and does it to a better standard.

 

[Izz]

Glad to see Curran preferred over Jazz. Reckon Maumalo will come in for Kosi as well

 

[sup42]

I always feel sorry for Kosi after that thing I mentioned where he was a night shift worker in a warehouse and a club player in South Auckland. In other words he has had zero preparation for the NRL.

Happy for him to see him get another NRL game, I mean this is possibly as high as someone like him would ever dare to dream, one NRL game, now he is possibly going to play in a third and against the Storm marking Josh Addo Carr.

Good luck young man, hope it isn't another nightmare scenario, hope he isn't being asked to play like Hendrix on a beat up Ukulele.

Brown has been great with giving guys the message, Ken Fus Jazz Katoa....all given a very fair go...and being held to account.

Twelve Storm players could defeat thirteen of most of the NRL teams this year.

That is how hard it will be to get close.

Berry is apparently pretty quick, really hope he has a blinder and puts pressure on the incumbents.

 

[Campion]

I am hopeful that Berry can take Pompey's spot on a more permanent basis. I don't think Pompey will develop much more, and he seems to lack pace and game awareness (setting up outside man, passing, positioning, etc. -- similar to many of our centres before him)

 

[Leber]

Berry and Kosi defending on the same side?

Jeez.

Ken over Kosi for mine. I cant see NAS getting off. Should be suspended.

Will be interesting to see Aaron Pene play. Bastard will probably tear us a new one then play shit for us next year.

Unstructured play was the key to breaking their defense.

Cameron George has big wraps on Berry in interviews over weekend.

 

[WellsNZ]

I like the bit where we extended Jazz two more years when we don't even pick him in our 17.

 

[SmashEmBro]

Hughes, Hynes & The Cheese will still carve us up

Digging the positivity around here

 

[Izz]

Digging the positivity around here

Haha. I always keep my expectations low vs the Storm. Then i can only be pleasantly surprised instead of bitterly disappointed...

 

[Sanchez]

Berry and Kosi defending on the same side?

Seems harsh, aside from the 1st game Berry showed a pretty good modern tackling style

I like the bit where we extended Jazz two more years when we don't even pick him in our 17.

I was amused to say the least. They knew they couldnt punish him till he resigned. Obviously think there is something to mould there but he needs to learn a lesson

 

[hitro]

I am so excited that they're even playing. A winter weekend with no game is strangely empty boring and featureless. I watched two games of netball in a row on sunday afternoon trying to get in the groove

 

[Rugged Rigid Robust Roy]

14.5 points fav on TAB. I will take the Warriors at the line.
