The discussion centers on the Warriors' upcoming match against the Eels, with much debate focusing on team selection and strategy. Recent posts highlight the consensus that Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad CNK should remain at fullback, Zaggo #210581 emphasizing the importance of sticking with a winning team and questioning why the discussion of moving CNK is still ongoing. sydneywarrior92 #210658 outlined a game plan similar to the Titans game focusing on high completion rates and putting pressure on Moses. The Undertaker #210685 frames the game as an elimination final, emphasizing the need for a win to stay in the top four and preparing for finals-level performance.
Much of the discussion surrounds the performance of certain players and their roles within the team. There was some disagreement initially regarding CNK's value at fullback, Dannevegas #210210 suggesting Roger Tuivasa-Sheck RTS might be a better fit, though this sentiment was quickly countered by others. Several posters lauded CNK's contributions, timburgesstheonlyoneiknow #210354 stating CNK proved his value. Canonball #210398 raised concerns about Boyd's defensive reads and kicking accuracy, though also noted his improving combination with CHT, sydneywarrior92 #210450 criticized Boyd's previous team due to their impact on Boyd's development.
Recent posts also touched on the significance of the upcoming home game and potential farewells to long-serving players. 1995warriorsfan #210772 mentioned the game is a sell-out. kos #210804 questioned whether there will be any acknowledge of Bunty Afoa's contribution, given his likely departure next year. Beastmode #210818 echoed this sentiment, suggesting that Webby should give Afoa a farewell opportunity by selecting him for the Friday game.
Mal said some insightful stuff about Tannah pre-game. "Biggest thing about Tannah is he needs to believe in himself". Seems Boyd's issue is entirely mentalCan't shake doubts about Boyd - probably had his best game with us last night, but his defensive reads are slow and yeah I still have an issue with his in game kicking, his accuracy is off - however we're not going to see anyone else at 7 now, it's too late to experiment personnel-wise so we're going to have to settle and back him so what I want to see are more options running off him -- the combination of him and CHT on the left side was great last night, let's throw a few 2nd rowers in and around that too
He’s going to keep getting a lot of traffic his way when he keeps missing tackles. Thought he played really well but 16 made with 6 misses means teams will be watching that. Webster thought it was Boyd and CHT’s best performance together and I’d agree with thatMal said some insightful stuff about Tannah pre-game.

Dan hates CNK. He normally waits for a loss to call for him to be moved though.I swear some people are watching a totally different game..
I actually think TB's general kicking game is better than Luke's. His long kicking game was what allowed us to suffocate the Titans. Also helped that Berry was back to lead the kick chase. Not to mention his goal kicking which is quite possibly his biggest asset to this team. His running game has started to develop nicely as well. He's often the scapegoat when we lose which I don't think is fair. He's been quite solid for us in his outings in first grade.Can't shake doubts about Boyd - probably had his best game with us last night, but his defensive reads are slow and yeah I still have an issue with his in game kicking, his accuracy is off - however we're not going to see anyone else at 7 now, it's too late to experiment personnel-wise so we're going to have to settle and back him so what I want to see are more options running off him -- the combination of him and CHT on the left side was great last night, let's throw a few 2nd rowers in and around that too
Yeah, I tend to agree with that - he has more than enough of the talent for what we're asking him to do - I don't want to be misinterpreted, I think he's actually a pretty good half, better than a bunch of others running around in 1st grade - I think the team has to come to him, look at where he is, and anticipate a bit more - we are starting to see that combination with CHT others have to followMal said some insightful stuff about Tannah pre-game.

Tits are responsible for any mental hangovers that TB has. The way they f**ed with his development over the last three years, and quite frankly every half coming through their system, would rock any young half's development. He is still 24, younger than Luke. So still plenty of upside potential.Yeah, I tend to agree with that - he has more than enough of the talent for what we're asking him to do - I don't want to be misinterpreted, I think he's actually a pretty good half, better than a bunch of others running around in 1st grade - I think the team has to come to him, look at where he is, and anticipate a bit more - we are starting to see that combination with CHT others have to follow

Especially this time of the season.I can't believe there's still chat about moving CNK out of fullback.
That conversation should be absolutely dead and buried by now, right next to "give Paul Turner a fair go!" and "the Kepu twins are the next big thing".
Pick and stick. Don't change a winning team.
Theres no debate, especially when it centres around moving RTS there so in effect we are moving two of our best players to plug a hole that doesn't need plugging.I can't believe there's still chat about moving CNK out of fullback.

Gameplan for Eels has to be the same as Tits. Complete high, dominate possession and suffocate them.
Chooks fell to pieces once Walker got knocked out. Completely rudderless.Moses and JAC were scary good last weekend. I'm up in the air if that was because the Eels clicked in gear or because the Chooks mega choked.
Probably a bit of both, but holy shit that Chooks error count was shocking.
He’s on 850k needs to at least be able to pass the ball to someone in a hole at leastI thought Marata played one of his best of the season last night. Pretty low bar though tbf
