Team List [2023, Finals Week 1] - Penrith Vs Warriors

[Sammyw]

Oof, Walker being out of the middle will be a huge loss. What’s the plan, play Tohu 80 at 13? Or have Siro play Walkers role?

jazz to cover 13.. assume thats why bunty is on the bench now to cover at prop.. i dont know why, i shouldnt be, but im quietly confident

Jazz doesn’t have the passing game for our 13 role, he’s solely a prop in our squad imo.

he has an offload and huge energy, that will have to do. his passing at the line is underrated too

 

[Ref]

Luai is a pretty big out for them.
Cogger is more Cleary like than Luai like.
Tago also mostly though because his replacement Peachey runs hot and cold.
I think Cogger and Peachey will be on the left together.
Maybe defensively we can have a crack at them and Turuva .
I’d say Webby has been working on a just in case plan with our line up and not just for the last couple of days.
Start Bunty.

I agree, but that’s why I think he’s solely a prop in our squad, as those are the passing attributes we want from how we use props. But what I don’t think he has is the vision and the long linking passing role that Walker plays, shifting the ball wide from one side of the field to the other quickly.

 

[Ref]

Caught another glimpse of @kiwiborn91, this time on Prime News (or Sky Open news as it's called now).

On that matter I saw its being broadcast live free to air on Sky Open.

I saw him too. He’s that guy.

If it’s a rough weekend for NZ sport, I will blame Jacinda
In Webby we trust
UP DA WAHS

I hate roller coasters, I won’t even get on the little one at Rainbows End…..I’d rather get chased down the street by 5 Tongans (I’ve got experience, exhilarating but not recommended)

One minute I’m thinking we can upset Penrith and 5 mins later I’m dreading the game.

As of right now I’m thinking we won’t make it easy for them at all and we’ll throw everything at them and I think I’ll stick with that narrative for the next 24 hours……I don’t think we’ll get rolled if they win.

It doesn’t matter, SJ back v Knights (provided they beat Canberra) are on a streak but we’ve been consistent and that’s far more valuable.

Webby has done his homework, he knows Penrith inside out, the boys will be up for it…. I trust and believe.

Yeah it's odd, I feel the same way - looking at how they line up now, obviously we will miss SJ's accuracy with the boot and on good ball even while Dyls can do some of that (the set up plays) ... yet with a heavier pack I reckon we will both pressure their line and hold them on our own ... we can definitely do this

it's spelled Jacinta

Win or lose tomorrow its been a very good season for the boys proud of em, everyones gelled more or less. Hopefully they give it their best shot I'm sure Websters gotta few tricks, play a team of 7 forwards n just steam roll em.

It ain’t over yet! So disappointed for SJ but I am fizzing at the first final since 2018 tomorrow. I am so excited for the team being able to come back from the covid year lows and earn their place against the absolute best team of the last 3 years. Who knows how it goes, maybe the ref he’s against us, maybe we roll them through the middle or miss a kicking option. We may get rolled or we may produce a miracle we’ll be talking about in years to come. But the fact remains, we’re there and I cannot wait. Go the warriors, up the wahs! Let’s hear that warriors chant in western Sydney to let the nrl know we’ve arrived.

 

[tyrael]

Was a good watch. Right in the feels.

 

[Bruce]

Problem is Volkman doesn't have the same height or depth as SJ,

I think he has the heiht and depth, he just doesn't seem to have the accuracy of SJ.

 

[Bruce]

I'm not a massive fan of playing too many players out of position

Wayne Bennett says that is a big NO NO

 

[Bruce]

Could be that he’s first receiver on last tackles.

I have been critical of Pompey this year, but if he is closer in, he can kick, and watchout if he decides to run.

 

[Beastmode]

it's spelled Jacinta

it's spelt B*tch

Yeah mate. Been a pet hate of mine for years.
Reserve grade and top grade should be trained in the same systems and replace like with like

 

[JustLikeStartingOver]

I don’t mind a 4 prop rotation and Tohu plays 80, it should be solid enough, makes the interchanges easier as Bunty does not need to play the same minutes as Walker would.

Huge pressure on TMM

 

[Bruce]

Fuck.

Why aren't we allowed nice things.

Oh well Newcastle/Raiders it is......get him right by then.

I wonder if they are keeping him on ice for that game.

 

[Bruce]

Huge pressure on TMM

The guy is a GF winner, and an international, the pressure shouldn't faze him. His match fitness might.
