The discussion centers on the NZ Warriors' team lineup for their Round 25 match against the Titans, highlighting debates over player positions and cohesion. User #2 advocates shifting Marata Niukore from the edge due to defensive concerns, while #3 shares a link suggesting Niukore will move to the forwards with Rocco Berry returning to the edge for improved defense. Berry's inclusion sparks debate about Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad's fitness, with #5 proposing Taine Tuaupiki at fullback to rest CNK, though #6 contends CNK remains the superior choice. Doubts persist about Berry's durability and defensive impact, noted by #89#43.
Tohu Harris addresses kicking strategy criticisms in #110, yet users like #116 question Tanah Boyd's execution. The bench composition draws scrutiny, with #31 analyzing prop rotations and Boyd's limitations, while #35 defends Te Maire Martin's utility role over Sam Healey. Coaching strategy under Andrew Webster faces skepticism; #45 critiques the reliance on a "grind" approach against agile teams, but #50 argues limited personnel necessitate this tactic. Barnett's absence is flagged as a key factor in the team's decline by #120, emphasizing his leadership. User #83 summarizes the lineup as the optimal available, urging trust in Webster's decisions amid playoff pressures.
Team Selection, Injury Management, Coaching Strategy
Not only a line dancer on a cruise ship ... but a poet as well(To hey Jude)
Hey Jett,
Take the ball and run,
Don’t be afraid,
The Titans can be undone.
Remember, to charge right through their line,
Then you’ll make the try,
And the crowd will lose their mind.
Na, na na na na na na, na na na na, banana skin game.
This thread is for wannabe coaches who think they know better than our messiah and really are just so bored shitless with their humdrum life that they need to come on here for their 5 minutes of fame.I know in the end we trust Webby to pick the team he judges best. I have always been confused with the purpose of this thread. Are we recommending changes or simply predicting the team he will select? (knowing that he rarely changes the makeup of the team except for player availability).

On the other hand would not surprise me if it is frequented by journalists too lazy to do their own research and poke certain members in the hope of a story.

Wasn't there a song along those lines (by the Beatles)?
It is confusing. It appears at times people write which players should be picked and why. My view, is we are not qualified as we don't see what happens at training, attitude, 1% thingswhich Webby has insights to. There is reasons why players are selected.I know in the end we trust Webby to pick the team he judges best. I have always been confused with the purpose of this thread.

Take a sad team, and make it Jetter...Hey Jett, don't make it bad...
Doesn't look like he'll be dropped for Te Maire then. Unless this video is all part of the Web of deception...Tanah Boyd addressing the team
Agreed, haven't really been impressed with it either.Sorry, Im just not seeing this kicking game of Boyds that everyone talks about....for me he has been disappointing since his debut.
I would have had TMM at 7 and Healey at 14. But actually play Healey for middle 3rd and give Wade some bench time in to get fresh for the finals run.....TMM had 23 minutes at 7 before he got knocked out so is a risk but his creativity is so much better than Boyds.
Warriors 8+
Get over Metcalf. We havn't got him so lets get behind who we have.Agreed, haven't really been impressed with it either.
Never seems to be the right height or depth, so makes the game plan of pinning teams rather redundant.
Metcalf was doing a much better job of it before injury(at least that's what my cooked memory remembers).
Doesn't look like he'll be dropped for Te Maire then. Unless this video is all part of the Web of deception...
absolutely agree. Barnett seemed to be the glue in the defence. Will be good to get him back next year. An unfortunate injury. Noticed him in Origin too. Webster seemed to bring out the best in him (as with other players)
