Warriors to step up for Going and Roache debuts, been a lot of hard work by those guys to get these debuts. Has a similar feeling to a pre-season trial game. Warriors 32 - Dolphins 18.

Kia Kaha Warriors please please please make this a win by 6 .It would feel so good to be right on the money for once this season .Oh hell just bloody win and get back that 3rd spot on the ladder that you so throughly deserved .Up the Warriors.

Super excited to watch the replacements especially Volkman, will also be a great test of how deep we go as a club.

Warriors by 10.
Kosi with the first try.

Bunty to have a big game IMO. When everyone is fit he might be the one that misses out (out of the regulars). So he needs this one.

 

[3rdstriker]

Be a tough game maybe.
Hopefully we'll throw it around and play some expansive footy as we have nothing to lose except our 3rd position, treat it like a late season trial.

Dolphins in a tight match

They are not that good. Our newbies will be motivated.

I think we start OK, the adrenaline will be there, but cant seeing it keeping up for 80mins with the Dolphins pulling away with the victory... they are a good side the phins

Should be a good game hopefully.

Keen to watch TMM combination with Volkman

And the new kids

Hopefully no injuries or bins.

I am really looking forward to watching them both.

There are no easy games in the NRL, but heyzeuss they are 14th on the ladder.

They'll be motivated not to lose to a B team.

Kodi in particular seems to want to prove a point to us. I assume O'sullivan also.

The Bromich brothers are playing.

So is Kafusi and their gun backs Tabuai Fidow, Tesi Niu and Issako.

That phin bench looks good too...

Bennett will give his end of year speech - i think they're coming in hot.

 

[Wah's Up]

Smash Kodi and we win

While I agree all the factors are there, they have been there for most of the season while they haven't performed on the field. As per the game last night, its the end of a long tiring season. Its hard for me to picture those names you mentioned playing a career game considering their season is over.
The Warriors on the other hand are fielding a lot of fresh blood. A lot of new names and few guys on the cusp of the 17.

I dont see Roache or Going taking a step back and Mitch should be pretty fresh as should Bunty. Tuapiki, Volkman, Kosi and TMM are all poised for breakouts.

If I was Bennett I would be worried.

Auckland Whanau
I need your help
Can you give me a tip on a sports bar to watch the game tonight in either ellerslie or Mt Wellington ?
doesn’t need to be a life and soul of the party place just a good view of the tv?

Bennett doesn't do worried

Please remember ladies and jellybeans, the key difference between the Warriors and the Dolphins is defence. They don't have one. That is why they are 14th on the ladder. So I don't mind a tight game...at all.
