Finals Week 2 vs Warriors - 4:05pm Sunday 20th of September - Eden Park

I think they will risk him even if he is not 100%. He is just to crucial for that edge.

We have the better backline, they have the better forward pack. If our forward pack can hold there own we should win. But if they they start winning the ruck and we can’t slow them down, they win. Another hugh ask for Frizz and Hopwood. Be great if Lucus is right to go, he could come off the bench and cause some headaches. Maybe McEwen a stint in the middle.

Never thought I would say this, but I feel bad for the refs. 50k Warriors fans at Eden Park will make it hard to not agree with them on every call.

Not normally from Gal though

Until last weekend I’m pretty sure we’d won three finals games in the last 25 years. It’s a miracle anyone ever tips us haha.

First 20 min is key. We go with them we are in the game.

Got a bad feeling we've been reading our own press a little and will forget what was required for us to dominate Souths the way we did.

I've been worried about this too, its all good to feel good about how your playing and all the love they have been getting must be great but I hope the older heads are keeping everyone grounded

Andrew johns made a career out of making individual players look bad. Focusing on a weakness usually gives you plenty of luck and points.

If they can single out a weakness early in the game and exploit that a couple of times it will have the other team rethink plans, stretch themselves to fill holes and open up gaps that weren’t there.

Only takes a tackle break or smashing someone in half or a quick try or two and the tide can turn on that. Think Frank the Tank absolutely folding Cam Murray last week. Killed their momentum straight up.

Yeah this is definitely the risk. They need to be locked into underdog mentality but know if they grind and play for 80 mins they’ll win.

Don’t worry, none of them can read.

We’re better than both of the sides that played tonight. Had we made the Top 4 we’d be close to premiership favourites. Could win it anyway.
