Warriors out to stop Bulldogs pack The Warriors will look to rely on efficiency rather than out-and-out aggression in their battle up front with a big Canterbury pack in their NRL match in Wellington. The Bulldogs are backing up from a 40-4 hammering of Wests Tigers last Friday, when they had props Sam Kasiano and James Graham in action for the first time since last year's grand final loss to Melbourne. Warriors coach Matthew Elliott says his players will have to be "proactive" at Westpac Stadium on Saturday night. But he says the way the rules are at the moment, being aggressive in defence doesn't pay dividends for most sides, with one notable exception. "Manly are small, mobile - they're a bunch of bull terriers really," Elliott said. But you see most of the teams that are good defensive teams, they're efficient and we have to be really efficient. He said racing out to try to knock down the likes of Kasiano and starting second-rowers Frank Pritchard and Tony Williams would mean "we will be the ones bouncing off." "You need to be efficient, be in their face and make them work," he said. If you come flying out of the line trying to crack these guys, it just doesn't work on them. Sam Kasiano wants you to race at him. Kasiano is part of a strong New Zealand presence in the Bulldogs forwards, whose number also includes fellow Kiwis Pritchard, Greg Eastwood and Dene Halatau. Pritchard will make his 200th NRL appearance, having previously been at Penrith. The Warriors will have their frontline propping rotation of Kiwis Sam Rapira, Russell Packer and Ben Matulino and Queensland Origin representative Jacob Lillyman back on deck. Injuries have meant that the quartet, all with 100 first-grade appearances, were reunited as a unit two rounds ago for the first time since last June. Packer, who missed the start of the season after bicep surgery, admits he's still not quite at peak fitness. Personally, I'm a bit aways, but I think we're building nicely and we'll see how we go out there.
