How on earth are the warriors nearly double the money favs at panthers, given really the panthers are missing their halves. they played much better without cleary which got their roll on started (not that it was his fault) and maloney has a good replacement. looking at their forwards and their backs, we arent exactly blitzing them on the roster.

PASS THE BALL KATA or resign. Beale needs to replace Kata, at least Hiku will pass it, he might give away a few penalties and cost us a try, but generally he gives the ball from Johnson or Lino onto Fusitua in timely fashion.

But thats where the buck stops, we have NO offense. SK, unleash the Kaken, aka Offense Playbook. Players running at angles, dummy runs (just not Hiku as he runs into the opposition and costs us tries). Seriously its time, we need more than Fusitua in the corner or Green with deft passes to Papali'i under the posts. Both Storm and Dragons show how its done 60m out. Constant confusing set plays. And players backing up the known offloaders. We were out in front by 50 in round 5 for offloads now we arent even top. Backup the offloaders, the likes of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Shaun Johnson backing up and running into broken field second phase play, passing to Maumolo who is supporting out left because he wants to get away from Hoggy.

Some on SK, this Roster is WAY to go to be doing old school NZ RL of hitting the ball up and kicking a bomb. We need clinical players in motion and people executing the plays and putting on 40 on the Panthers, we need our Minor Premiers run to start now because it will be 19 that wins it. Bring it SK, stop being a shadow of Bennett and Bellamy, be your own man, set them loose, make it count, should have won 15 premierships with our passed rosters and we are laughed at for it. its up to you SK, to get these guys showing how good they are. Enough worrying about completions, we did that last season. We did Corvo and the fitness and then the defense. Its now time to unleash brilliant fast backs backing each other up.

Whaaaa?? 15 prems?

LOL

[Run_it_str8]

Has the final team been named?

Just want to know if the mighty Fusitua is playing.

 

[jonno]

Our guys play on confidence. Always have, always will.

I'm hoping they back each other up and get a roll on. Damn near unstoppable if they do.

How the Rovelli/Witt combo failed to deliver atleast 3 I'll never understand.

So what you're saying is that a team with confidence plays confidently?

Never change Jonno, never change.

Named with an hour to go which should be between now and 10 minutes

In summary for me if we are serious contenders this is simply a must win for us.Not terminal obviously if we lose but with the Panthers origin commitments it is a game we should just do the business professionally and put them away despite the crowd and despite the refs.
An excellent game to determine whether we are contenders or merely pretenders.Warriors to win or disappointment at my house tonight.
Go boys and shut some Aussie wank journalists up for a week at least.

[Canadian_WarriorFan]

No changes, both 1-17. Be interesting to see how they use Beale.

 

[xWarrior]

Better to have Vuna on the bench...

 

[Vancent]

Bit puzzling that bench.

Panthers have an interesting bench, 25-40min patch will tell us much about how this game will end I suspect.

Warriors rise late to win by 8.

 

[Fazz]

Lovely. A pointless back on the bench when our forward pack is incredibly weak

 

[wrighty]

I can only think he is there as Fusitua may be a bit dodgy to make it through the match.

 

[Run_it_str8]

Is he big/strong enough to do a Nightingale and play lock?

Great post. A lot of us are rightly prepared for a very tough game. But you are correct if we can't beat the Panthers without 3 of their super stars then we won't be going far this season anyway. All or nothing - all in for this match.

Any team with Allwood and Wright in their roster shudda damn will kulled it!

And we're not going to do it if Kata doesn't pass. Although even when our centres did pass we didn't win a premiership so....So passed rosters - ie 2001-2003 or non-passed - ie 2017 - we're fooked...

Kearney's not afraid to run a 3 man bench, wouldn't surprise if they don't use him at all.
