No Ropati, I'm gonna enjoy this season.

I hope they go well, but after seeing them in the pre season, I think they'll struggle initially.

Can't wait till next year when we'll get three games in one day out at Mt Smart Stadium - Warriors under 20's, Premier League and the Vodafone Warriors, now that's value for money!!!

 

[MKEB...]

I dont like the idea of Hohaia in the centres. Not overly fast or big, and Martin in the other centre...not sure really. I would still rather him in the halves or Hooker.

I hope we starve their backs of the ball cos their centres will sh*t allover ours.

I hope someone smashes FuiFui MoiMoi back back to to la la land land

 

[JJ]

agreed - Ben Smith and Timana Tahu will be licking their lips...

Warriors pack looks great though... so could well grind out a win.

Hindmarsh with arthritis???

They'll send it wide all day...

 

[Fast Eddie]

I thought Cleary said Mannering would be playing centre and not in the backrow....

I'm not too sure about having two small centres.

 

[Brad Joyce]

Some people have short memories. Hohaia killed in the centres in the back half of last year.

I wouldnt really say "killed", performed adequatly and admirably, but killed?

Punches above his weight. Great, but I am not convinced. Much prefer him in the halves.

 

[AliN]

yea Hohaia plays better in the centres than in other positions he's been placed.
Guarantee there'll be a bit of swapping around so not too worried about the positions.

It's a solid team. Gatis deserves a start.

Looking forward to both games on Saturday.

COREY LAWRIE - very unlucky

RUSSELL PACKER - also unlucky not to get a bench spot but understandable.

CONSTANTINE MIKA - this guy will be in the nrl team this year for sure.

if you,re watching ivan, some advice; get JRo,s hammy fixed real fast.
