Round 5 of the NRL season continues this afternoon when the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Warriors square off at Accor Stadium in Sydney. Join The Roar for live scores from 3pm (AEDT).
Veteran winger Alex Johnston suffered a hamstring injury in the Rabbitohs’ win over Canterbury and won’t be sighted until May while Shaquille Mitchell (concussion) is out. Izaac Tu’itupou Thompson comes in for Johnston on the left flank.
Warriors veteran Dylan Walker is still out but Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad is a huge in. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck returns to the centre to allow CNK back to number 1.
Luke Metcalf is a long-term casualty after breaking the tibia in his right leg while being tackled by Knights second rower Tyson Frizell in the ninth minute of a match the Warriors went on to win 20-12. The 25-year-old has undergone surgery and won’t return until late in the season.
Prediction
Souths have been ordinary and the Warriors have won their past two matches and despite being away, look a strong chance to make it a hat-trick. Warriors by 8

He’d be an exceptional center in league and would be near the top of my wish-list if I was poaching union players. 6’2″ 110kg, quick and skilful.
Chas
Roar Rookie
Yep, just been informed he and RTS are great mates and he was amongst a group who flew over this morning to support Roger. Caleb apparently trained with Rabbitohs in off season and is also a mate of Latrell.

:happy: you wish. Doubt there are many judges who don't have the Warriors in the final top 4.

SOS Tim Sheens. Bunnies need an old-school approach.
Cam
Roar Rookie
Caleb played in Auckland last night. He has said a few times he'd like to give league a go.

Just the way we like it, keep under the radar.

Is that Caleb Clarke amongst the RTS supporters?
WithTheDawn
Roar Rookie
Absolutely where I was sitting, which I’m sure is what they would be showing. Thought there would be more though to be honest!
Cam Watts
Roar Rookie
Add the No6 to the bench on that effort too!

Looks like more wahs fans than funnies

I'll give it a shot in my spare time, First job - drop Trell.
Dionysus
Roar Rookie
.... and it is the coach that needs to wake up to him. A talent for sure but his attitude is appalling and his attempts at foul play are blatant. Trell should be dropped till he learns a little humility and shows that he really does want to play NRL.
Phil
Roar Rookie
Well done NZ, a solid win over a team that should be doing much better. I'd like to say something positive about Souths but can't.

Seriously who replaces Demetriou for the rest of the season. What's Brian Smith up to these days

Congrats Warriors fans. Season shaping up nicely.

Hell of a game lads, was a pleasure to be at. Still not a complete performance, but did well.

Good win Wahs. Trouble at Redfe- oh sorry meant trouble at Heffron where half of Fitzgerald Avenue is filled with Roosters fans
Cam
Roar Rookie
Nice win for the Wahs, yes the Rabbits were poor, but the Warriors are a genuinely good team.
