Warriors Win In A Canter

South Sydney?s woes have continued as has the Warriors strong start to the season. The Warriors ran out convincing 38-16 winners over a disappointing South Sydney side at Ericcson Stadium this afternoon.

The match was played in miserable conditions and South?s failed to adapt and paid the price while their off-field dramas continue to be the focal point for the embattled club.

The Warriors never looked like losing the match with Lance Hohaia a stand out scoring two tries and continues his rapid ascent as one of the games brightest talents.

In a game that never reached any great heights, the Warriors did enough to suggest they will be a force come September while for South?s, their season is fast becoming a carbon copy of last season?s 26 week nightmare with fundamental errors and missed tackles making the Rabbitohs look amateurish.

The Warriors will now look forward to next week?s game against the Broncos with great anticipation while South?s must regroup and hope for a better showing against the Wests Tigers.
