Team List Dolphins vs Warriors - [Round 11, 2025]
- Thread starter mt.wellington
- Start date
Run mid range speed and you'll never pull a hammy. Choose your sidesteps wisely instead of every time you touch the ball like Roger and you'll never injure an ankle. Maybe tie your laces half tight half loose and you'll never hurt a toe nail.except fpr Pompey does he ever get injured
If someone goes down through injury in game I have too many combinations in my head that it feels like a 42 move chess strategy that I can't remember past move 2.
His pass to Clark vs Cowboys got Clark a good old fashioned hit from Nanai to turn the ball over. I would love his creativity to have seen the gap he could have run through behind Nanai who shot out. Other than that criticism I think he has great upside. So I'm still on the Sam wagon. Doing the Healey wheelies.
I thought he looked good at lock
Made a surprisingly good fist of it, and was big enough for the position
Tmm 181 cms 87 kgs
Max Plath 178cms 87 kgs
Tevaga 178cms 98kgs
Dylan walker 181cms 98kgs
Interesting that apparently the bulldogs interest in Galvin is to play lock. A bit bigger than TMM but the playmaking ability is obviously the draw. Hard to say how long it will take Gannon to become accustomed to playing lock, but TMM fills so many positions and has a great playmaking ability. Think he’s the ideal 14
Just need one last push on the road in Aussie. Pretty amazing to think that we've played at Mt Smart once since round 3. If you include the Knights game in Christchurch, we've essentially been on the road for 4 straight weeks. It will be immense if we can come away from this 4 week period away from home with 4 wins. Boys are tired and fatigued for sure, but JFH back in the side this week will ensure that the boys are hungry for nothing less than another W this weekend. We are definitely due for a loss, but I'd rather it come next week. I like our track record of losing only to top 4 teams and beating the rest.

he will 100% be a target ...as short TT is for the high bomb in the corner ...Warriors edges stressing me out WoW ...but we keep winning so can't really complain.. WAHs by 6
We just look way better upfront and if we can shore up our edges, we got this... Gonna be some hard decisions made if RTS is ready to go, does Webby drop Tuaupiki for RTS or move him in the centres, Tuaupiki doesn't deserve to be dropped, while RTS at centre isn't ideal, but that's where I would head just so we can have our main compliment of forwards in the forwards, Niukore been good up front last few weeks so id put him to bench with Vaimauga, Laban and either Healey/ TMM
I agree on Niukore to play limited minutes so off the bench works ..and in the middle(prop!!!) ...Leka should be the man for the edges such skills at pushing through the line ...he's made for the edge IMHO we all can recall that try he scored on the edge ...would be a beast Centre just all teams think they can go around the WAHs (as its our weakest link at present) he would crush that attack just like Capewah was doing against the Dragoons ..makes the opposite centre think twice about taking on the D out wide when he gets smashed into last week ..
Why I like Pomps solid D big body .... RTS for me more so wing FB... and more so the latter ...I'd personally love to see RTS on the bench if he's 100% fit... and when CNK has been smashed and looking tanked ..bring on RTS to inject his skills .... also he can cover pretty much anywhere for any injuries and you know will give 100% when you look at how much work CNK gets through makes sense he could get a rest for the last 20mins etc
So looking forward to JFH back in the team will add the energy the boys need ...I think how the panthers have been going Vs Wahs has some links to JFH the guy is a winner and huge Mana feeds the team esp the young guns watch Leka grow an extra leg with JFH

Would rather we win both!!
But can imagine feeling much better about smashing Sticky's men at Mt Smart then picking of the Dolphins again at Mt Smart in the later rounds..
They may choose to bench Leka, after two 80 minutes performances. The kid is so good but we have to look after him, plus I think we may see more of his explosiveness if he plays the 40 -50 minute role
I absolutely agree with this. The only solution is to get more Leka's.
good call, wouldnt be angry with this either. my two worries for this game are capewell in the centers and a bench consisting of two small guys... but get the feeling it wont stay that way
Kasey Badger in the bunker.
Should be some fun calls coming out of the box.
