Post Match Warriors v Dolphins - [Round 12, 2024]

[Kav1]

I think unless there is a niggle players almost always back up, even 48 hours. Especially now teams have 3 byes a year...

Still unlikely to be at their best -couldn't have happened at a better time for us (particularly after our bye)

 

[Inruin]

They never miss an opportunity to discredit us... Or is that my cynicism showing

I thought it may have been because they didn't want to distract players from their games this round and also wanted to contact them before the announcement. So with our game being last up they put up the 19 who would already have played and been notified rather than finding out by media. Just my take on it.

Not trying to disagree for the sake of it. But I have found most players back up incredibly well. I wouldn't go as far as it is good for the Cowboys but I don't consider it a disadvantage for them either. The possibility of injury or niggle is more likely

Surely you can't think of replacing him after yesterday's superlative performance (which earned him maximum MOM points)

Yes move him back to wing so we don't have Kosi dropping the ball x1/game and costing a try/game.

TBH he was uncertain under the high ball a couple of times and let in a 40/20, and the pass to Kosi for a try scoring chance was too high if it was CNK/Pompey/Berry passing to him that would be a try all day. Plus he's gonna get knocked out at FB by one of those top 4 sides like Storm targeting him.

Like, he's a Dally M winger better than CNK/Taine/RTS so I don't get why keep him at FB all season, he's amazing as a pinch hitter at FB once or twice a season or mid game emergency, being unpredictable to other teams, if he's there full time other teams will work him out.

I thought TMM had a really average kicking game but was everywhere on D. Chanel outplayed him in the halves yesterday. Lussicks service was as crap as ever so you could lay part blame on that.

A lot of people questioning our top grade players coming back which is insane. An SJ in a team without confidence vs a confident ( and fully fit) team is wildly different. We had several guys playing injured which really slowed us up, a lot of drop ball and penalties. The last 2 weeks has shown fitness which improves our discipline and gives us a good share of the ball.

For me there everyone returning after the bye gets their spot back. Only real shift I would make would be Tohu to only play 13 for 20 minutes.

The SJ was debate is an important one

SJ is purely a passing half, throwing dummies at decoy runners and once in a blue moon running

TMM and CHT are not afraid to run. CNK at 6 is a run first player. This makes a HUGE difference to your attacking options and puts their defence on high alert.

I wouldn’t be opposed to continuing TMM at 7 and CHT 6 for the next few rounds if SJ wants more time. Something special could develop here

Credit to Webby - for having the balls to drop AFB during an injury crisis.
Walkers must be our 13.
The Aussie commentators were positive that we scored that try right on half time.
Duct tape Warriors better than full strength Warriors.

Love that username btw!

Say SJ is back fully fit and plays 7. Who would you go with at 6 out of TMM and CHT?

Well after working all day on a cold miserable sunday then having to wait to see a replay at 7 30 the final result made it all worthwhile.What a gutsy ballsy effort by the boys.Two weeks in a row now the guys have pulled it off.So happy for them.Onwards and upwards.

They'll both be in the team. CHT off the bench, covers the back line. TMM deserves his chance @ 6. You can run more plays for TMM at first receiver with teams keying in on SJ. Exciting to think about how we will look after the bye.

The Cows also can't afford to rest anyone given their season so far

Hmmm that’s a tough one but CHT as Walkers successor in #14 jersey works for now because he’s so versatile

CNK as a straight running #6 capable of a double pump dummy showed us what can happen with TMM at 7… it was an unlocked potential in my mind ..

The thing with RTS is that step can also be a hinderance when you need someone just running straight and hitting a hole without any of that fancy stuff. That’s why I think CNK is a better Center and #6 than RTS. RTS needs space and that’s exactly what he gets at Fullback. Take away his open space and he can’t do much.

And pompey!

I'm telling you guys! RTS is better suited on the wing for Montoya, he will be huge running the ball back for us!

You mean like when he’s running it back at FB?… except now on the Wing? Sure that works for me

Monty had his best game for a long time yesterday.

CNK is the fullback bro!

He did! And he's a fine back up!

Montys a hard bugger. And had a good game. Two tries scored on his wing because he is to slow tho. Would prefer Rts as his hit ups are as good if not better. Defensively Rts will have to adapt to defending in a different position and will get caught out like he has at center, while he re-learns his position. Roger is a hearty defender his reads are just bad in a position(center) he has never played. Has played wing & will need time to adjust.

We have to many good centers coming through and f all wingers. Berry, Leiataua, Pompey , Graham-Taufa & Sio Kali. Even charnze is better at center than Roger cos he has better ball distribution skills than Rog.

Does everyone think Kali is a centre? I want so see him on the wing!
