This game is a pretty intresting one really,the Warriors return home after a couple of shockingly bad road losses of late,but they are miising a wealth of players in Ropati,Mc'Kinnion,Wiki and Vatuvei and without them it will take a real team effort to get them over the line,I amlooking forward to a couple of players in this match ,for the Warriors Russell Packer makes his First grade debut and this kid is one to watch,he is strong and young and has been killing them in the under 20 comp,he constanly go's forward and they will need him to do that for them today,Shortland comes back into the squad as does Kirk on the wing which gives the Warriors a very green left hand side both in defence and attack,but they are at home and although i like the Raiders I rate the Warriors as being able to come up with something special here today.

The Raiders have two players backing up from Friday Night in Monoghan and Carney and Carney is the player i'm looking forward to seeing play on Sunday,I really like his style of play and I rate him as one of the best halves going around,off the field he may be a bit of a dickhead but on the fireld is where he can redeem himself,the rest of the Raiders side has been playing well and they still posees a great backline and good hard running forwards,they will know that they are a big chance here today and they muct try to make it happen on the field for themselves today.

Matches between these two are genrally close 9 of the last 10 have all been decided by less than 12 points and I expect more oft he same today,the Warriors have won their last 4 at home against the Raiders by less than 10 points and thats what I think will happen today as well.

This is a crucial game for both sides,the Raiders know they are a big chance today while the Warriors know that with the players missing for them that they must start well and play hard,a number of players for the Warriors will be out to show what they can offer with a number of their big guns out right now and I think they will step up here,Watch out for Carney and Packer and expect a hard fought close game with the Warriors comming out on top by 8...Take the Warriors by 12 points or less...Good Luck.
