<p>- Warriors need to show some mana in the first 20 minutes. They look scared to take it to the opposition.</p>

<p>Almost the polar opposite of last year where they would build up big leads and then blow them in the second half. Now they're letting teams run up a few tries on them and trying to chase them from behind. </p> -

<p>Some big changes for the game against the Doggies in Wellington. Lolohea moves to stand off, Fusitua moves onto the wing, Thompson returns from injury and Ligi Sao is the 18th man although expect him to be on the bench come kick-off.</p>

<p>Team to face Bulldogs at the Caketin on Saturday night:</p>

<p>Bodene back is a positive to add a bit of variation to Hoffman and Mannering. I do like Lolohea as a playmaker that takes on the line. I'm quite optimistic, which usually results in the opposition winning by 10-15....</p>

Hurrell needs to play to find form. Thompson has become the heart of the team with Vatuvei so hes a huge boost. Lolohea is an exciting guy and things happen when he is busy. He could spark Johnson.<br><br>
I think its really just a matter of igniting self belief and theyll be off. This could be it.<br><br>

<p>You've gone and done it now.... Doggies by at least 20 now for sure.</p>

<p>Besides the Worriers never win in Wellington anyway (or Auckland for that matter).</p> -
<p>Hurrell won't be playing tonight - he was in the NSW Cup side today. Sao is in the Warriors' final 17.</p>

<p>Warriors win 24-20. Tui Lolohea my man of the match.</p>

Yesssssss. Fair effort from our boys tonight. <br><br>
Great game from SJ. Best kicking game he has had for a long long time. He found space in and behind the Dogs outside backs. Some better 5th tackle option taking as well. <br><br>
Bodene made a difference and Lolohea at 5/8 is a lock. <br><br>
Josh Reynolds what a grub.
