OUT! Origin snub for WAYDE EGAN, JFH & Mitch Barnett miss Road Warriors HOMECOMING | League Of Our Own - S2 EP13

Following four matches on the road, the NZ Warriors are finally back at Mt Smart Stadium to face the Canberra Raiders in a 2 v 3 battle!  But there’s no James Fisher-Harris through suspension, and his co-captain Mitch Barnett has been rightly selected for New South Wales in Origin One.

We can’t say the same though for Wayde Egan who has missed the Blues squad entirely.  Blairy has a theory as to why, and who specifically is to blame!  Despite being in career-best form, and the Wahs in 2nd spot on the ladder, the crafty hooker will roll out against the Green Machine instead.  Which is probably a relief for Warriors fans given the key absentees in the front row!

Who likes the left edge of Halasima, Pompey and RTS?  Who gets frustrated with DWZ jamming in?  And how about this for a hypothetical: if the 2025 Warriors had Shaun Johnson, Tohu Harris and Addin Fonua-Blake…  would they be this high up the ladder?!

Another week, another hopeful Betcha This Happens multi from Goran…  but at least there are only 5 games to pick this week!
