Warriors at 2
Laurie Daley says: "We're all excited about what they can do. They showed us last year what they were capable of doing, and not only have they got a talented first-grade roster - a very experienced roster - but they've got some of the best young talent in the game as evidenced by their under-20s side making the Toyota Cup grand final in both of the past two years. Expect some of those guys to stamp their authority on first grade this year."
The Adjudicator says: "I can't remember ever being so keen to go to Auckland; I'm normally frightened of being left with the light switch on the way back to the airport. But the Warriors are more exciting than a Moulin Rouge chorus line, and I'll be sitting back each week with a beer in hand, a smile on my face, as I grab the remote."
