Both of these teams look battle-hardened. To me, the Warriors have the better forward rotation. They certainly have an edge in the offloading department.
That creates second-phase play and, if it is effective, it will go a long way to tiring out the Broncos, particularly in the forwards.
Finals games always contain big momentum swings.
To make sure they aren't caught out, it's vital the Warriors use the ball effectively and find territory with their kicks when they are under pressure.
Manu Vatuvei's return will also be crucial. The big man adds so much to the start of the Warriors' sets and his efforts will be critical in getting the side out of the red zone when they are under pressure.
There's no doubt Manu will have his hands full with the ever-impressive Jharal Yow Yeh. You can guarantee Lockyer will look to use Yow Yeh's speed by kicking in behind Manu and turning him around.
The Broncos winger's right-side combination with Justin Hodges is one of the most dangerous in the game.
With Lockyer and Peter Wallace doing the damage, the Broncos also have a significant advantage in try-assists.
Sam Thaiday's suspension is a blow but Ben Te'o is an extremely strong ball carrier, so they might not lose too much there.
Josh Hoffman is a different story. Hoffman was odds-on to become the next Kiwis fullback and it's a real shame the head-to-head battle with Kevin Locke won't happen.
Gerard Beale is a good replacement, but the Broncos will miss Hoffman's support play and he is also a key part of their attack when he sweeps around the back at speed.
The stats show the Broncos give away fewer penalties and have a better completion rate than the Warriors - both key areas in finals.
But the Warriors should have learned plenty from their recent defeats in games against the top teams. They will know they need to look after the ball better and make better use of territory.
In the end, these games come down to guys playing for one another and leaving nothing in the tank. It's about who wants it more.
