Big ask for Warriors away
Sports commentator Ken Laban, says the Warriors will have to – at the very least – repeat their giant-killing efforts of last weekend to advance to the NRL grand final.
The Warriors thrashed the Newcastle Knights 40 points to 10 in front of a raucous Mt Smart home crowd.
But Ken Laban says the boot is on the other foot this weekend – because it’ll be the Warriors up against 52 thousand mostly-Broncos screaming fans, in Brisbane.
“From an Australian perspective they will go in as under-dogs. The reality of the NRL is you need to be able to play 3 grand finals at the end of the season – and the Warriors did the first one against the Knights. And they need to do it again this week against the Broncos at Suncorp,” he says.
Ken Laban says Shaun Johnson is the key – and if he’s on form the Warriors should win.
