Hello, Alf.
The Rabbitohs certainly set a marker for the season. They looked better than ever against the Broncos!
As for the Warriors, they certainly seem to have got the off-field set-up right at last. Apparently, there has been a huge concentration on fitness because they have blown so many games in the final quarter over the last two seasons.
I would be very disappointed if they didn't finish in the top four of the Minor Premiership, because making the play-offs looks to be a realistic short-term target.
Shaun Johnson is the key, but Tomkins, Hurrell, Vatuvei, Matulino and Mannering are all top-notch. As usual, flair won't be a problem with the Warriors. It's a question of how well they withstand the pressure in the more "grinding" games.
Theirsakes in England have been a bit disappointing so far, though.

Looking forward to watching the NZ Warriors Aucks,should e interesting to see howSam does this season, the Wigan Warriors have had their worst start to a season for years,they don't seem to have he strength in depth that they usually have and are relying on a couple of players at the moment,things can only get better.. I hope

Well Aucks both sets of Warriors lost this weekend. :/ ... Sam Tomkins didn't play for your lads due to sore calves ..

Alf - it was deja vu. Same old story. The NZ Warriors looked composed and in control during the first half; headless chickens in the second.
I really thought that would not be a problem this season.
I'm hoping Tomkins can use his experience to bring some composure. Apparently, he should be fit for the second game.
