An unchanged squad of 19 for Jason Ryles in preparation for a tough match hosting the Warriors. Utility Dylan Walker has been named on the extended bench despite failing to see out the contest against the Sea Eagles last week with an arm injury.

Statistically speaking Sutton means a 7% greater chance of us losing compared to all other referees.
So statistically he doesn't hate us, but he doesn't help us.
We may need devine intervention. This Warriors squad is looking good this year.
Samrani and Nanva in the reserves!? Ryles is just doing the same thing but expecting a different result. Really hard watch at the moment.
The Warriors forwards will likely kill us. Too big. Too fast. Too good.
However, stranger things have happened, including us beating them in NZ last year.
Warriors are a mixture of fast, strong and athletic. If they were super consistent they would be a force like Penrith.
Interesting to note both Samrani & Pezet have been named to return from injury through NSW Cup this week.
Petrus and Talagi also in the cup team. More excited about that game then the NRL one
We beat the Dogs, Tuesday announcement, "Rip in boys I can get behind this team, we have some great juniors putting in".
Lose to Manly, Tuesday announcement *same team shock horror* "Depressing team, sub out our backs for even slower backs, JR what are you doing, useless coach, why didn't we pick different forwards"
Have to laugh honestly.
What's depressing is 'supporters' like you. We are that desperate for fit players, we are picking players carrying injuries. Moses groin, Penisini was running last week like he had a full leg cast on. JAC has more padding than a sumo wrestler. Even Junior is carrying a leg injury. We have used more players (28) than any other team, and that was after only 6 rounds. These players are busting a gut every week, playing injured knowing how big a crisis we are in as far as injuries go. Then we get nimrods like you bag the coach for not picking players YOU want in the team. We could pick up a player or two by June 30, we need them. As far as this season goes, it's a write off, not through coaching but, through our horrendous injury list. You won't see any semblance of a team until at least round 16 or 17, then you never know we might finish the year off like we did last year. Until then, there's nothing you can do, nothing I can do, so just sit back, stop whinging and support the team.
Need to play the long game against Warriors. Turn them around, corner to corner, ball in air ( high ) pressure on edge runners which will drag DWZ in as always and we just need to nail the chances when they are presented. They are a very good side but can throw an indiffrent game in here and there. We are a chance. SUTTON will ensure Warriors are given good ball and field position with a controversy or two for good measure.
Though hasn't it been presumed that the refs do not look after the Warriors? But yeah they are a good team but have been seen as flaky from time to time. Not saying they will be v us but still have that little bit of old Warriors in where they just do not turn up.
