Righteo, what will the Warriors bring ?
I can guarantee you 1 thing, if we stop Vatuvei, we stop the Warriors. That is a lot easier said than done though. He is their man, possibly the most influential winger I have seen.
I presume Williams will be marking him, even if it is Oldfield, Lyon is going to have to communicate with them in a big way
Their attack is extremely limited, lately it has been little more than the forward rumbling it up, not many in their with the flair of the old style Warriors forwards, and getting to the last where they bomb over to Manu's wing. Mannering and Luck play 80mins and do nothing more than tackle
Henderson may be out which will be a bonus to us and limit their attack out of dummy half.
A nice, dry day would be just what we want. They have played nearly every game on a wet track the past 10 weeks, only nice, dry day they played they got hammered by Souths, their style suits wet weather footy, and Steve Price told me that they always want the rain
Danger Men
Vatuvei has been spoken about
Tate, a true leader in their side, need Matai to have a big one
Brown, 1 of the most under rated players in the comp
Ta'ai, a big, devastating unit off the bench
Rapira, their best front rower by a mile
The halves haven't played together much, but are a good combo. Maloney is the most penalised man in the league so try and niggle him
All in all, our best beats their best every time. They can be dangerous but a good performance from us will have them covered
