Concentration critical as Warriors head for final stretch
Former Warrior Monty Betham says the team can’t afford another loss in focus when it comes up against the Manly Sea Eagles in Auckland this Friday night.
Manly lost to the Penrith Panthers 24-12 in a hard-fought match – and Betham says the Warriors need to improve from last week’s narrow 30 to 22 win over bottom-placed West Tigers.
“Let’s be honest, the Warriors made it more difficult for themselves, and Andrew Webster the head coach put it down to a lot of individuals not staying in the concentration zone long enough,” he says.
Monty Betham says he can see plenty of similarities between the current Warriors line up and the 2002 side that made it all the way to the NRL grand final.
