That to me constitues a bogey side.We have won 15 games to worriors 13.

We need the biggest props we can field on the bench tomorrow, everyone criticizes us for having a small pack against the Warriors and having two utilities in Hinchy and Kostjasyn (he's a very underrated player and he does nothing wrong, but he has no place on the bench in a game against the Warriors) on the bench won't help. A bench of Garbutt, Vave and Ryles is huge. The amount of metres they would make would give the Storm a very good chance of winning.

It doesn't matter whether people criticise our small pack, they have been doing it since the start of the season saying the likes of Rabbitohs, cowboys and roosters would dominate us due to their pack size, look what happened, we smashed them all. People who place an emphasis on pack size being a dominant decider in the outcome of a game are fools.

Since Bellamy started Coaching, we have never had an overly big forward pack like half the teams in the comp.

Besides everyone calling for Tohu, Kenny or Garbutt to be included this week is dilusional. Warriors have one of if not the biggest packs in the game and throwing in the young boys purely because of their size, is asking for trouble. Their inexperienced and are not hardened enough to debut against a team that feeds off overpowering the opposition pack. Guys like Matulino, Packer and Rapira will turn the young boys into pillows.

Hell one of our biggest forwards in Bromwich is currently playing like a marshmallow.

Adding Vave and Ryles is the only size we need. They Were the missing pieces to our squad last year. They will tighten up the ruck and will ensure the Warriors don't dominate our pack.

Finally the key to success against the Warriors is attacking the fringe of the ruck. They may have a massive forward pack but they also tire quickly. By adding Kostjaysn it adds another dimension to our attack and he is a dependable defender. Having him and Hinchy act as a secondary hooker frees up Cam to play wider of the ruck which just increases our attacking opportunities.

Then Kostjaysn also allows Hinchy to play in the back room, and that increases the mobility of our pack to run the Warriors off their feet.

This year has seen our team play a more expansive game and look where we are, teams with big forward
packs simply can not keep up with our play. The warriors will be the same.

The boys will not let a repeat of last years final happen again. You only have to listen to them talk to know how focused they are to square up against the Warriors.

We will win by 16+ tomorrow.

Warriors forwards dominated the storm pack all over the park. If they had Shaun Johnson and Kevin Locke in the team the warriors would have won by a comfortable margin.

They are still our bogey team by a long way.
