Yeah really dont know about this game.
Sharks have looked a bit inconsistent so far this year but had a good win down in Canberra last week.
Focus probably needs to be on where we were a tad poor last week and that has to start with defence. 50 missed tackles.....that'll definitely need to come down for a start.
Hopin we get the W but yeah this is definitely no given

The game is there for the taking if they are focused and willing to earn it.
Tries to Dal, Demetric, one of our prop rotations, Leka and both our halves.
Might be 72-0 by my outlandish speculations.
*Edit If we earn it we can get over them and get a good score and I'm nervous to see if we are up for it. The resilience we showed against Canberra.

Hope you are right about CHT and that the Trinity of halves clicks.
I'd even like to see us use the ole Stephen Kearney overkill 'world's longest spine' special - Isaac Luke - Tommy Leiuluai - Kieran Foran - Shaun Johnson - becomes - Egan - Boyd - Metcalf - Chanel.
I will be watching today's match with my 10 year old daughter in our matching Warriors shirts. I'm a bit nervous as I tend to get quite animated supporting the lads and some of my language gets a little bit... industrial shall we say. Already been given a reminder by the wife.
My kids know Warriors game day as "Fudge Day" because all my fucks become fudges.

Not sure what's worse:
2 bad options for a flight meal or 1 Good option which is ALL GONE by the team the crew get to your Seat!
I remember Daniel Anderson gave the team basically a quiz on the game plan on the flight so the coaches could see who hadn't quite understood what was expected.

I have a take on long winning streaks. I coached premier rugby union. The code here doesnt matter it is the psychology. Our team had an unbeaten record for nearly 2 seasons but were not playing anywhere near potential. We got beaten and I was happy as it meant we were now not trying to preserve an unbroken record, rather than just concentrating on what we were about to face. If the warriors do the simple things right and at pace supporting the ball carrier they should be fine.
Should be a cracker of a game!
Hope to see a reversal of form from last week which was pretty flat across the board. a bit more cohesion around Metcalf and the rest of the boys would be good to see, but that middle battle with AFB looms large with no Barney, if we can limit that damage, we give ourselves a shot.
Warriors 12-

Im a little annoyed that we are not trying to find out if Ali Leiataua is made of it in the NRL.
He's not really had a fair crack because of injuries, but he has shown some great glimpses. I dont think Tain Tuaupiki is as consistent as CNK yet and I'm not happy that webby isn't building of what Ali started this year.
I think Ali was building nicely after that Knights game. Anyways I'm glad he isn't kicking stones and playing well in cup, but I did think this year was his year to see whata he's made of, we know what Tuaupiki is.
As soon as it clicks for Ali then look out! I think we are still sitting on a weapon. I saw staggs in the flesh last night and I think Ali could be as good.

Addin is a great prop but I back our pack today.

He might need to go to Penrith and train in their West Sydney heat and get Penrith fit then come back on massive overs.
You might have a point
Too comfortable at home with family, friends calling him a star before he’s proved it
This is the problem we have here
many young kids think they’ve “made it” just playing NRL and getting a pay check
Fans like myself don’t exactly help gas lighting him
Send him to the mountains of Penrith to do his OE. Come back bigger fitter stronger with gigantic balls of steel.
We talk about webby getting the out of players, he should get Ali right.You might have a point
