Preview:
The Warriors got their 25th anniversary season off to a perfect start as they hammered the Dogs 40-6 at home. It was also a winning start to the season for the Tigers, who put aside a scrappy first half to get the better of Manly 20-6. The Warriors get stronger this week as Isaiah Papali’i returns to the bench after a club suspension in round one in their only change. The Tigers make no changes to their 17, although Moses Mbye and Josh Reynolds are in the reserves. It’s hard to tell whether the Warriors are the real deal this season or if they just crushed a very poor opponent last week. Both sides will be on the fringe of the eight and wins in games like this will be vital to their finals chances. The Wolf has often thought the Warriors are a risky proposition on the road, unless they’re big underdogs. They have lost all three of their matches at Campbelltown since 2010 and given up 50 points in two of those fixtures. The Tigers will be chomping at the bit to start the season 2-0 and showed plenty of promise in the wet in round one for The Wolf to back them again in round two.
