The Warriors are playing really well, the Storm are on fire.

I think the Kiwis will turn out in numbers and as more and more Vics become interested in how the Storm are going (yes, despite what some people may say, theres a lot of talk about the team around the traps) we may well see another 15kish crowd.

I think the Storm will be pretty sore after a tough battle against the Broncs. The Warriors forwards are really starting to hit their straps and will be harder than the Broncos front 6. I think the Storm have a clear advantage in the backs and this may well be the difference.

With all that said and with the Warriors desperate to keep their very slim play-off hopes alive, I think (hope) they'll have a 22-18 win.

Sorry AuckMel but the Warriors are gooooooone!

In saying that, I believe that they are a real chance of knocking the Storm off next week at The Graveyard. I wouldn't be suprised if the crowd is close to 15,000 as interest continues to grow about the Storm.

It'd be insane to know how many things the Warriors must need to go their way if they can make the playoffs!

Crowd = 13,000 IMO

I hope we take this opportunity of playing a side out of finals contention at home to rest some more players. I'd give a couple of the youngsters, Cronk, White and Hoffman a week off. They have all been through a mountain of football this year and deserve a refresher. We can easily cover them as well (Smith to 7/Friend to 9, Crocker to 12, Crossman to 10).

Result isn't important as long as we can freshen up a few players.

We could have the minor premiership wrapped up as early as Friday night if the Dogs lose to the Broncos.

Then again, the Broncos couldn't beat an egg at the moment.

I wouldn't bank on Crocker. It looks as though he main get a small suspension for a spear tackle in the match against Brisbane.

The rest of the positional changes are potentially very good.
