Jarome Luai Try ($2.50)
Jarome Luai returns from an injury spell and he should be at his peppy best against the Warriors. Luai tends to dominate against vastly inferior opponents and that is what he has this week. In six career games against the Warriors he has three tries while he has scored six tries in his last 11 matches.

Viliame Kikau 2+ Tries ($5.50)
The Warriors have conceded 44-plus in their last two away from Mt Smart and have been particularly vulnerable on their edges where their defence has been disjointed and weak. Kikau can dominate on his day and if he is in a mood he can get over for a double.
