Are the triple bangers back? After the Berry and TT injuries, I would try to get DWZ, RTS back for this one. If JFH is back, Marata goes to the bench and Bunty drops out.

Apparently only DWZ, the other two due back the week after. DWZ still much needed though

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

Rocco did his hammy tonight unfortunately

Ali looks to be out for awhile given he was in a moon boot. Curious to know who will come in to replace Berry.

Not necessarily.

 

[shuffle]

Come on down Morgan Harpwah!! On a serious note I think he will slot in to how the Warriors are playing atm. Wouldn’t be against it given the circumstances.

 

[Tragic]

Bunty > Niukore

 

[CWC]

I would love Ali’s ankle to be a niggle and reclaim his right edge spot, Dallin or Taine to his right

Otherwise Taine FB, CNK centre and Dallin wing

 

[BlackToko88]

The moonboot could just be a precaution.

Id say he probably has scans tomorrow/monday.

Dal is back im sure which is big. Rog sounds like he is nearing but probably keep him our for another week

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Will be interesting to see the make up of our back 5 next week against the Dragons.

I'm expecting the below to be unavailable:
Ali
Berry
Roger
Kosi

CNK (Taine)
DWZ
Pompey
Harper (CNK)
Taine (MGT/Harper)

I think the first team is what Webby will do, with the bracketed my preference.

Really hoping we don't have all those outs

 

[Alaska238]

I think as he was selected as a centre in the trials that Eddie Iremia will be selected in the centres with Dallin on the wing if TT is out too.

If not TT to go to left wing and Dallin on the right

 

[CWC]

Was Ford alright? Didn’t play that long?

 

[Wellington Taniwha]

Was Ford alright? Didn’t play that long?

Did Bunty even play? Maybe ford was gassed. Webster said he put Healy I at 13. We looked shot from 55 to 75 minutes but whatever selections were made worked……just

Such a tough competition and about to get harder with both centres potentially out. Come on down Morgan Harpwah!

He made a good run and played like 5 minutes lol

Would rather have Capewell at centre than Harper

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Can't take the dragons easy, Wollongong is another traditional bogey clash for us. Last year they ambushed us because webby made the rookie mistake of thinking we could beat them effectively without a bench. Assuming Ali, Berry, JFH, RTS are out, I'd go with:

1. CNK
2. DWZ
3. Pomps
4. Capes
5. TT
6. Mets
7. CHT
8. Ford
9. Egan
10. Barney
11. Leka
12. Niukore
13. Erin
14. Demi
15. Bunty
16. Laban
17. Healey

I like Marata's work in the middle and thought part of our defensive woes in the 2nd half was because he struggled to move laterally on the edge. But I don't see any alternative other than to shift him to the edges.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

1 C N Klokstad
2 T Tuaupiki
3 M Harper
4 A Pompey
5 E Kosi
6 C H Tavita
7 L Metcalf
8 M Niukore
9 W Egan
10 M Barnett c
11 K Capewell
12 L Halasima
13 E Clark

14 S Healey
15 J Ford
16 D Vaimauga
17 T Ale

18 T M Martin

I want to see what Harper can do. He would be coming into a team high on confidence, Him or Amituanai for Tuaupiki and Tuaupiki at Fullback and CNK to Centre.

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Potentially we have Ali, Berry and Kosi out. Was Tuaupiki injured as well?

Horror week for outside backs, lots of opportunities for the next man up to shine.

 

[kos]

He made a good run and played like 5 minutes lol

about 11 i thought and very very good defence.
