[Kiwi Eagle]

Really happy to see Sipley picked, he was strong with the ball last week and will want to tear into his old mob

With both games being played at the same time it will be interesting to see who makes the flight to NZ. I just hope Tom and Jake can back up from Wednesday.

[Holmsey]

Warriors will wipe us out. 50 for the kiwis looks likely. We play teams into form we are that bad at the moment.

 

[brad]

We'll win this.

 

[Sue]

Yep

Just our luck. Johnson Mannering Harris Kata and Luke playing together. Must be first time this year.

Forget the usual babble about injuries. As usual our spine and key players are available.Other than Walker that is easily our best starting 13.Couple of bench players missing but so have they.

Like Kiwi I’m looking forward to Sipley. Looked the part in his few minutes.In reality we are missing Walker Tanginoa and Sironen from probably our best side with the last two on the bench as Lane > Sironen now in my eyes .Hardly an excuse to roll over.

Pride on the line.Dont know how many times I have said it but no excuses this week for not coming up with a bold showing.

Come on boys. Get my holiday off to a good start.

Warriors by 10.

With the warriors already in the top 4 we don't need to play them into form.

 

[Fluffy]

I can't believe Barrett didn't make any changes now that he actually might have an option.

oh wait, silly me he did.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Warriors have been weak up the guts recently so Taupau and AFB are key

The team arrived today, they are in for a real treat tomorrow, southerly coming through tonight with potential snow and the high for tomorrow is 5 degrees, meant to clear up Thursday and gameday clear with a high of 12

 

[sheridanstand78]

TB again opts for Matt Wright over tom Wright on the bench , very disappointing !!

It's 15 and pouring rain in Sydney most of the week 😱

If our halves and Api start playing direct rather than the sideways running we saw in the last 2 games then we'll have a very good shot at winning it. Key is Api and Chez. If they get the forwards and backs running straight at the defence then there's no side that we can't beat.

They are always the key ! Can you tell the coach
Will it be basketball or football from our tremendous props. There lies the answer to victory or defeat🙂

Warriors fans are yelling out for Hiku to be dropped coz he is so bad on defence so nice early ball to Kelly would be another good option

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

If Barrett has them up early enough later in the week they might be able to have some training sessions in the frost 😉 that would really sort some of them out lol

Yep. Rate Kelly so highly. Just looks a footballer rather than the athletes with little skill they churn out these days.

On Hiku not sure about his defence but don’t underestimate his attack. Has come up with some unbelievable offloads for tries this year. I watch all their games as they are generally exciting win lose or draw, unlike the repetitive tedious stuff usually dished up these days.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Yeah attack wise he has been fine, defensively has been carved up most weeks so warriors fans are wanting Beale in there now

Is an interesting matchup, they have only beaten us 2 times since 2007, and in a lot of those games they've had us on the rack and we have Houdini'd our way out of it, last year for example we were down 16 early and rolled them, and later in the year we were down 7 with 5 to play and turned them over

The Trbojevic boys and DCE have a history of breaking their hearts so hope it happens again !!
