THE TEAM NEWS
NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS
- New Zealand Warriors once again highlighted some real frailties in their side as they were blown away in the opening stages against Sydney Roosters last week.
- The Kiwi outfit found themselves 22-0 down in just 15 minutes of that clash with the game effectively over as a contest at that point and to make matters worse, they have lost halfback Shaun Johnson to injury.
Starting 13: 1. Taine Tuaupiki 2. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak 3. Ali Leiataua 4. Adam Pompey 5. Marcelo Montoya 6. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 7. Te Maire Martin 8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Wayde Egan 10. Bunty Afoa 11. Jackson Ford 12. Mitchell Barnett 13. Tohu Harris Bench: 14. Dylan Walker 15. Tom Ale 16. Jazz Tevaga 17. Jacob Laban Reserves: 18. Zyon Maiu'u 20. Edward Kosi 21. Paul Roache 22. Tanner Stowers-Smith 23. Ben Farr
PENRITH PANTHERS
- Penrith Panthers continued their good run of form as they made it four successive victories thanks to seeing off Canterbury Bulldogs last week.
- The reigning premiers were able to come out on top despite suffering a devastating blow during the game with key man Nathan Cleary succumbing to a hamstring injury that will rule him out for around two months.
Starting 13: 1. Dylan Edwards 2. Sunia Turuva 3. Izack Tago 4. Taylan May 5. Brian To'o 6. Jack Cole 7. Jarome Luai 8. Moses Leota 9. Mitch Kenny 10. James Fisher-Harris 11. Luke Garner 12. Liam Martin 13. Isaah Yeo Bench: 14. Daine Laurie 15. Lindsay Smith 16. Matt Eisenhuth 17. Mavrik Geyer Reserves: 18. Paul Alamoti 19. Preston Riki 20. Tyrone Peachey 21. Soni Luke 22. Scott Sorensen
THE PREDICTION
New Zealand Warriors have struggled to hit the heights of last season and are now in the midst of a four-game losing streak after going down to Sydney Roosters last week. The manner of that loss will be of most concern to the coaching staff and things do not get any easier as they take on reigning premiers Penrith Panthers. It is four straight wins for the Panthers and even with the loss of Nathan Cleary, they should still be able to extend that streak.
TIP: PENRITH PANTHERS -11.5
