Nike Tn Trainers .The Warriors will face a Panthers side looking for their third consecutive NRL win and brimming with confidence after a 31-12 mauling of the Broncos in Queensland.Penriths form contrasts with the ninth-placed Warriors, who have been left reeling by three golden-point defeats in their last four matches.However Griffin told reporters on Friday the Auckland-based outfit could have easily won all three matches with a bit more luck.The potential return of prop Albert Vete and second-rower Bodene Thompson, combined with an improving Shaun Johnson, could tip the scales in the Warriors favour.Thats just an NRL season and everything can ebb and flow, particularly at this time of the year, Griffin said.The Warriors are a totally different beast to what Brisbane were last week.The match will go a long way towards determining which team squeezes into the finals, with just two points separating the sides with six matches to play.Kiwi hotshot Tuimoala Lolohea returns to add offensive thrust to the Warriors run-on XIII after being benched in three of the Warriors last four games.David Fusitua moves to the centres to accommodate him.Griffin felt his sides job would be made more difficult by the 21-year-olds presence and ability.Hes an outstanding player and hes got a great kick return on him, he said.For him to be back there at fullback, it just makes them even more dangerous.The Panthers were boosted this week by the contract renewals of veteran Peter Wallace and forward Trent Merrin, as well as prop Leilani Latu last week.Crocked five-eighth Te Maire Martin will also line up for Penrith in the NSW Cup as he claws his way back from a serious shoulder injury.Griffin warned Panthers fans to be patient with Martin.It was a pretty horrific injury, a broken bone in his shoulder and hes only in his first season of first grade, Griffin said.He might need three or four more weeks.Two men will be shaved from the 19-man Panthers squad on Friday afternoon.KEY STATS* The Warriors and Panthers have met 16 times at Mt Smart Stadium, sharing the wins at eight each.* The Warriors have lost three of their past four matches, with all three losses coming in golden point extra-time.* Penrith have the overall edge against the Warriors, winning 20 of the 36 matches played, with one draw in 2009.

Brett Kulak and Jackson Houck of the Vancouver Giants were each charged with assault causing bodily harm on Aug. 18, according to the B.C. court services. MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade still isnt totally ready to leave Miami.He felt he had no choice.The soon-to-be Chicago Bulls guard offered his side Saturday of the process that led to the end of his 13 years with the Miami Heat and deciding to play for his hometown team. Wade insisted he has the utmost respect and admiration for Heat President Pat Riley -- who drafted him in 2003, coached him to his first title in 2006 and now played a role that led to him leaving a franchise thats clearly in transition.And despite his anger about the breakup, he made clear that he will never bash the Heat or Riley.I love Pat Riley, Wade said. Hes been someone whos been a figurehead in my life since I got drafted here at 21. But at the same time, he has a job to do. He has a different hat to wear. That hat sometimes is not to be my best friend. That hat is to be the president of an organization and to be a businessman. And it sucks. You know somebody so well, you guys love each other, but the business side comes out.Im not saying that weve hugged and cried and shed tears at this moment. But I love Pat. And I will always love Pat. And, you know, I know he feels the same way about me.Since Wade announced Wednesday that hell sign with the Bulls, hes felt countless emotions. He went past the arena the Heat call home Friday, blown away by the tribute the team was paying to him on external video screens. He couldnt believe how many people were lined up to buy merchandise with his name and number on the back. He choked up when he saw the full-page ad the Heat took out for him in South Florida newspapers.Moments like this, it sucks, Wade said. The business side of the sport, sometimes it just sucks. Thats what were dealing with.Miami offered just over $40 million for two years with hopes he stayed. Chicago landed him with a contract worth about $47 million for two years.Wade was in a hotel room in New York when he made the decision to leave Miami, and before long he started seeing the video montages of his Heeat career coming across screens. Nike Tns Black. .It seemed funereal.They started playing tribute videos and Ive assumed thats what its going to be like when Im no longer on this Earth, Wade said. Thats what it felt like. It felt like it really was the end of life.And I guess in a sense its the end of life in Miami -- as of now.Wade won three titles with the Heat, leads the franchise in plenty of stat categories, was a 12-time All-Star in a Miami uniform. And there will be undoubtedly be speculation about a return one day, which is not out of the question. The Heats ad thanking Wade included these words: Well leave a key under the mat for you.This aint the ending of this book, but we got through a lot of chapters of this book, Wade said. And this is a best-seller, for sure.His sons and nephew that hes raising have mixed emotions about the move. His nephew was particularly leery, since he moved from Chicago to Miami for a better life -- and now hes going back to a city that Wade knows has big problems with crime, particularly violent crime.At the end of the day, they will understand as they get older they will have to make decisions for their families, Wade said. Some decisions are hard. ... Some are going to be seamless and easy.This one fell into the hard column.He drove around Miami on Friday with his hand out the window, grabbing at the warm air that hell think about when in frigid Chicago this winter. Hell be in Chicago on Monday for a physical. He then heads to Los Angeles for the ESPY awards and business commitments before going to China for a week of promotional appearances.As of now, the plan is for the Bulls to introduce him July 29.So that will be Hello, Chicago.If Wade gets his way, there will never truly be a Farewell, Miami.This is never goodbye to South Florida, Wade said. The words, `Heat Lifer, Im a Heat for life. Ill always be a Heat.
