What happens when Monty get tired? LY Tony and Latu made a real impact when on the field. Does Webb go to #9 and Martin or Murphy at #1?
Feka starting - how many games has he actually started?

 

[BrentWebb'sno.1fan]

I'm not DA but i would just shift Webb to Hooker when Betham gets tired
but betham should be able to play the full 80min. Most hookers these days do.

 

[Robster]

Finally Smurf is in the line up ~party at my house~

 

[AliN]

I'm not Ando either, but he'll havre something up his sleeve for sure.
Great to Lauaiki get the nod, can't wait to see what impact he has on the game.
Really thought Tooks would be there, but Ando has faith in Jerry and he just may deliver.
Murph will be great in the heat, but gotta wonder about his defence.
Feka looked a lot fitter the other day, and enthusiastic so it'll be interesting to see how he does go.
A great side no doubt about it..if anything it'll be the heat is Brisbane that's the telling factor.

See Robster i told u he would be in the line up ;-)

 

[ozbash]

that is a bloody good team.

carl te mata to relieve monty,,
hope webb is up to it, lockyer will target him and vinnie anderson with the high ball.
they will run at murph..

our forwards ?? shithot !!

warriors by 4

 

[guten_targ]

Great team, like it a lot, bit surprised Jerry kept his place considering the way he played against Penrith, but very pleased to see Murph back, also happy about Lauaki getting a run, his defence is brutish..ask Mr Wesser of Penrith fame, just hope the kid don't tire like he did against Mr Wesser though :roll:

Anyway, looking forward to this match and it wouldn't surprise me if Mr Bennett changed his line up only to see Daniel do the same as well

 

[Rudolph]

i cant wait to hear the say Epalahame Lauaki or will he be know as Hame in the programme? the only real suprise for me is Palea’aesina in the starting line up.

should be an win to the warriors by 10

 

[Alan Shore]

Tony Martin is an awesome signing. He'll carve up for you!

 

[Phillips]

i say warriors by 30 with Murphy getting a hattrick

and i hope that betham lays the smack down on Tallis

 

[Pigskin]

Henry Fa'afiili is injured ?

or just out of favour ?

Oink !

 

[BrentWebb'sno.1fan]

Henz is returning from a hamstring strain.

But he is the 18th man for this weekend and will travel with the team incase of injury to any of the other squad members before kick-off on sunday.

Bronos by 4

 

[NZ Warrior]

The Warriors will have 2 things to deal with other than the Broncos this Sunday. The heat will defenitely be a factor if they don't aclimatise properly, but a darker menace lurks. The Warriors have lost all 6 of their away games at the hands of that dastardly Mr Bean.

Here's hoping we don't fall foul of his evilness this time around. #-o

The team looks very good. I have a funny feeling Motu Tony is going to be pumped for this one. I also have a funny feeling Lockyer is going to get pummelled, there ain't much room to move at 5/8, Mr Lockyer.

I can't wait to see Lauiki in action and by the way, does anyone know how to correctly pronounce his full first name or is everyone going to be calling him either Hame or Elephant??? :roll:

 

[NZ Warrior]

Or Ipullahammy

 

[Rudolph]

I've only known his name to be Hame.

 

[JTR]

Epalahame Lauaki

Pronounced as read

 

[Auckland4ever]

I'm interested in seeing Hame get a run, but also want to see what a trimmer, fitter Iefata can do. Wonder if Webb will play fullback the whole game? Maybe Martin will come on to play #1, & Webb might go to 6 or 9?

 

[LeagueNut]

I thought Tony Martin went pretty damn well at fullback in the last trial vs Penrith ... even though the poor bugger kept getting left posted in a three-on-one situation when the Panthers were consistently breaking the first line of defense!
