Our guys cannot afford to do what they did last week, and that is to expect a weaker Roosters side, coast for the first half in defence and try run it down with that massive second half surge that Brown and POS have created with this mega bench non stop forwards rolling machine.
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck admitted in the post game that when Canberra lost so many players, they were sitting back expecting to 'get them later in the game'....
Typical Warriors mental weakness.
A lot of our defensive issues are being caused by slow reaction time. Guys barely comming off the ten meter line in time to meet the runner at or near the advantage line, last week that let the Raiders destroy our try line defence, and otherwise break through our wonky line.
No prizes for guesing what the Warriors have been working on hardest in this weeks training. They are fitter than most, the Covid bubble creates that....this is our year.....well at least one of our years...maybe not thee year.
I am expecting the Roosters to be at least as dangerous as the Warriors B side that rolled the Dragons after the stupid six were suspended way back when....to be at least as dangerous as every NRL team that loses a half on the eve of playing us then the replacement has a MOM performance.
Simple game plan as always, completions completions completions, baby POS to kick us into extra sets, pound them relentlessly, support the offloads which should appear when we are in the Roosters half of the field.
And tackle boys.
