i think we will win this as i think we need to treat as grand final, as if we lose we are good chance of dropping out of the 8.

To take this point abit further, i think when we were playing really well earlier in the year we were treating every game as a seriously tough contest eg. grand final / semi final.

I think we have slackened off a bit and it was probably due to fatigue from playing at such an intense level. Now we have played **** and alot of the boys have had a rest, its time to step the **** back up and play some intense football.

I hope to see this happen, always a tuff game in NZ.
As others have said we need to treat this like a semi final

only if we lose competition points. we are on 25, in 7th, the next below us are on 22. So unless they introduce bonus points for tries, or we play so bad that they take 2 points off us, we'll still be in the 8

Im having visions of Manu running and jumping all over our winger! Who will be on his side? They will bomb hell out of us as we are dreadful at stopping the cross kick!

I know it won't happen but how about this line up against the warriors

1. Wright
2. Luetele
3. Bukuya
4. Best
5. Stapleton
6. Carney
7. Townsend/ Robbo
8. Gibbs
9. De Gois (Needs a kick up them bum though)
10. Ross
11. Tupou
12. Smith
13. Graham

Bench:
14. Fifita
15. Taufua
16. Frizell
17. Morris

Can you imagine opposing centres trying to tackle JB 1 on 1. Also if he's able to draw in the winger and flick it out to Luetele who we all know has some speed.

Bukuya is really out of form right now, in attack and defence. Has to be playing with an injury.

That whole side of the field was pretty bad in defence. He's normally the glue that holds that side together. He normally helps out Pomeroy for example.

Anyway, I would have been a fan of that at some stage but definitely not right now.
