Price, Mannering, Manu, Seymour and Luck out, this is a very beatable team especially at home, lets hope our boys have there heads screwed on.

 

[bLaQDoG..]

Something tells me we will win this game. Let's see if I'm on the money.

 

[w00t]

It'll be pretty embarrassing if we don't...

But seriously we need a much better forward pack... Injuries haven't helped as well as the fact our two most promising forwards (Afu and Taupau) are still not ready yet....

It's like what someone else said earlier, Moore is trying to play the game as though our strength is in the forwards, but it isn't, our backline is what is potent nowadays. Funny how times change, loss of Asotasi, Mason, SBW and etc in recent years has reduced our formidable pack into a bunch of pussies (bar a few).

 

[Mitch Connor]

Beatable. Big forwards but.

 

[Moe]

Even though they are missing a few playes they are sill very capable. Their forwards will munch ours and they have some gun backs

HOHAIA
LOCKE
TATE
ROPATI

And Lewis Browne is in the same mold as Paul Gallen, very stong and talented player, he'd be the forward to watch

 

[Chicharito]

thankfully for us vatuvei isnt playing...the guy would have had a field day tbh

 

[BaYry Ward]

Good to see in honour of Pricey they named his wife as captain.

 

[SaMi..]

Their strength is our weakness, 2nd phase play from players like Matulino, Royal, Rapira and Packer off the bench. All capable of offloading.

But his replacement Bill Tupou is almost as good. Like a mini Vatuvei

*sigh*

when i thought something was going our way lolol

 

[S4Sonny]

Confident coming into this match.

 

[Chicharito]

lol i was going in confident last night but yeah not so much this week

 

[bulldogs2010]

Barring the Roosters game, it's hard to be confident with how we've been playing.

Interesting to note Moore said in the press conference Barba is close to cementing himself in the top 13 with his consistant performances. Interesting to see what happens over the next few weeks if he keeps going well.

 

[doctr]

Beatable team but then again the Warriors every single year never let you know how there going to show up on the day.

Lets hope we do a Roosters game here and beat them senseless!

 

[Chicharito]

agreed...our inability to shut down 2nd phase play has been our weakness for years

 

[Hansta]

THANK **** Manu is out!
He always tears us a bumhole lol

 

[magdog]

This will be tough, but at least we are at home.
Think we will squeak by them this week. We can build on the 2nd half of the Souffs match.

 

[Chicharito]

THANK **** Manu is out!
He always tears us a bumhole lol

lol their 2nd phase play will rip us to shreds

 

[Hansta]

lol their 2nd phase play will rip us to shreds

pfftt this was the attitude after the dragons game

faith bra faith

we WILL win!

SHould i bump up the 'dogs vs roosters prediction thread'?
