🤖 AI Summary

📝 Summary:

Warriors fans debate optimal team selections for the crucial Round 25 matchup against the Titans, focusing heavily on backline configurations and forward rotation. Key discussions revolve around whether to retain Taine Tuaupiki at fullback or reinstate Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, with arguments citing defensive reliability versus attacking flair.

This next three weeks are really important. Not so much in terms of the results but building to the finals. We had a run of great luck early in the season which swung to almost everything going wrong for us. This last win I think the luck is changing back for us. We do need more attacking threat than we have shown for the vast majority of the season though. We have done well to get in the position we are but I don't think anyone is under any illusion about our chances against most of the other top 8 sides currently. For me it's TMM at 7 CHT at 6 and TT at 1. That is our best attacking options and actually probably our best defensive options too. If the halves can get somewhere near the form they showed in the middle of last year we have a chance. Be a shame to waste it by being conservative with selections and style of play now.

I think we need to roll the dice a wee bit here. The way we've been playing lately, we're not going to progress very far last the first week of finals footy
We started the year with Berry and Ali as our first choice centres, we're playing bottom 8 teams the last 3 weeks before finals, give them time to gell. I mean, the other options of CNK, Pompey and Capewell are all making mistakes too, may as well have Ali out there learning.
I think currently the spine of CHT/Boyd/Taine isn't working and imo, of you're going to have TMM direct the attack, having someone solid like CNK at the back with a bigger body is going to benefit the team big time.
Rogers been great, Dallin looked great tonight and with CNK at the back after a few quiet weeks, were gunna make heaps of meters.
Our forwards are good when they're holding on to the ball, so if we tighten up that and our dumb penalties/6 against, I think we'll have enough fire power, especially with that bench, which offers a fair bit of spark
 
Should be a relatively dry track, so mesns taine wont slip over much!

With all that, dont see manh changes. Beery could come in but the bloke too injury prone. Last thing we need is him to start and last 20min etc
 
Largely keep the same team but for a start, CNK back to fullback, TT to centre. Neither particularly shone yesterday, I see no harm in switching things around there.

Obviously, it's closer to Finals Time in the NSW Cup, not sure who qualifies to play there versus who we need to play NRL but, honestly, we're a fair bit more likely to win the NSW Cup Premiership than the NRL Premiership, as much as that's not as "Sexy" or "What The Fans Pay Their Money For", so I think if the Warriors are looking for trophies, we pick the strongest 17 we can for the NSW Cup, even if maybe that's not best for the NRL team.

Whichever approach the club take on that, agree with the idea that Halasima needs to be on the bench as it's been I'd guess a bigger season than he'd have expected so he needs some kind of a break.
 
Alright all..

Can't be assed digging into the barrell this week to name a team. We all know who will be there.

What's the plan? We all expect to get licked by the dead last Tits.

(Who are fucking dire vs anyone else lol)

Can we win? I think we can.

But the wood they have over us is frustrating. Need to sort the edge defence or she's all over.

From memory, if your team are still involved in the NRL playoffs then everyone is still eligible for Cup and once they're knocked out it's a minimum of 5(?) appearances in Cup to be eligible
