Attitude will determine this as per last week.

If we’re on and firing we will be unstoppable at home.

If we’ve got the Dragons/ Titans/ Roosters attitude we will bumble our way to a loss.

 

[Bippidydoodah]

Hopefully Marata is fully fit, we'll need him to really make an impact today.

Time to put some trust in Bunty and Ale to do more minutes too

 

[Tookey 2.0]

This game will determine if our season is back on track.

There's still time even if we lose this game, but I feel a strong win here will really build some confidence for our next few games after the bye.

If we lose here we're chasing our for the rest of the year trying to get in to the 8.

Let's see how bad the boys want it.

I'm picking Warriors by 18

 

[janfin]

Bring it on…Kia Kaha ..You can do this..

We’ve seen the sharks front rowers aim up (until last night) knowing AFB will arrive some time. Now our front rowers need to stake their claim that they want to be apart of the rotation when he’s gone

 

[Falcon]

Marata to start in the front row today.
A lack of match fitness is bound to see him interchanged earlier than we usually make the first change
I’m expecting us to try and play a quick game up the middle today with Jazz and Tom Ale to play important parts with Dylan Walker and his ball playing skills.
Mr Fixit Charnze at centre should straighten any attacking raids.
Let’s hope a big home crowd can create ‘ the overlap’ and get us the W.

 

[Bluecat]

Us to win by a couple. But very much

 

[Possum11]

It's a home game so a must win, don't have a settle team due to injuries etc. Dolphins haven't played outside of QLD Morons much.
Warriors win by 4 points

 

[Roadrunner]

Will be interesting game this one and yea I hope we don't end up one hit wonders after last week's effort.This is another different style team the Dolphins from Panthers.We need this.Enjoy everyone going to the game and bring it home.Im working so will have to watch replay at 7 30 Shit it's going to be a long day then.

 

[3rdstriker]

Hope paul roache isn't bench warming all game he deserves a second shot today.
Good to see some depth coming through as we continue to get big injuries. Hopefully we can pull a win off today and contain their edges.

 

[Lance155]

Looking forward to seeing the bald brothers kill it again this week

 

[Noitall]

The buzz word last year was resilience and thought that summed up last week’s performance perfectly. Probably taken lightly by panthers last week but watching them last night, impressive win by us however you view it. Leave it all out there and have a rest next week

Absolutely agree with you.
Give the kid at least 20

 

[WahsUltras]

Would only expect MGT to come into the team if Taine is out.

Funny but my initials are MGT and each time I read posts like this I think there’s no way in hell anyone would want me anywhere near a league field…. an overweight, nearly 60 Y/O with bad knees and a dodgy back who would find it hard even to get back 10m on defense without needing an O2 bottle and a lie down, let alone, be expected to tackle some 110+ kg forward intent on putting me into hospital.

 

[jonesy101]

Had no nerves last week until the last few minutes of the game as there were little expectations of a win. Very nervous about today though. This is Katoa's audition for a possible spot in the Blues so he will lift and Nikorima is always unpredictable. Sell out home crowd will be massive and it should provide a similar boost to how the crowd was last week, hopefully that will help with a win.

 

[Ref]

We have turned the corner.
Dolphins due to get whipped.
Warriors by 20

 

[Possum11]

Put $5 on warriors win
