Warriors Orange Peeler
NRL 2015 - Rnd 13 - Rabbitohs vs Warriors, Nib Stadium, Perth.
Warriors once again travel some 5,300 odd kilometres on the longest road trip of the whole competition to face the Rabbitohs in Perth. At least this time we wont have the game finish at 1:30am NZ time.
Warriors head into this game missing a few key players in Thomas Leuluai who is out for the season with a ruptured ACL and Konrad Hurrell who has one game left to serve on his suspension. Also there is a little doubt are Sam Tomkins and Manu Vatuvei who arent 100%.
Rabbitohs are missing Adam Reynolds and Glenn Stewart but remain unchanged from the side that beat the Titans last week.
We have come agonisingly close on previous occasions only to fall short. The last two encounters in Perth have been really tough bruising affairs that has left both teams with injuries. The last game saw the Rabbitohs with a two man bench.
Expect another huge battle up front as both teams look to dominate the ruck area. If history is anything to go by you can also expect that same physical battle out wide where we saw a few players go down last year.
Perth is hopefully another hoodoo Cappy will deal with. Time feels right and no doubt the large Kiwi population of Perth will be out in force to support the boys.
