Breaking News: New Zealand Warriors head coach just summitted his resignation letter to the management.
The Warriors look to be back on track and everyone will once again be jumping on the Wahs bandwagon again after their third consecutive win, which was a convincing one against the Cowboys.
New Zealand put the sword to North Queensland last weekend, beating them on their home turf 42-12.
The Warriors looked the goods against a tired Cowboys defence scoring the first 4 tries of the match through the middle and out wide.
The tries were nice but Andrew Webster was more impressed with his team’s ability to neutralize the dangers of the Cowboys attack and hold them to just two scores.
Defence was the key to the Warriors success last season and it is eminent that that will need to be the case again, as their average points against in a win is at just 13, while conceding an average of 25 points when they lose.
Melbourne came out of a tough battle against Newcastle with an 8-point victory that they were not particularly proud of.
The Storm were tipped by many to win 13+ but their middle defence was not up to scratch and they leaked the second-most points they have all season in their 36-28 win.
Melbourne’s attack was at its best though and got them out of trouble in the second half with three quick tries, however, the concern for Bellamy is that his side has conceded 25+ points in 3 of their past 4 games.
