I have two questions. I am andrew webster and want guidance on who to select for my next game. Should i go with cnk or rts at fullback? I also need a halfback as sj has retired. Who gets the halfback position between metcalf and tmm?Chur, Chur! Let’s Break It Down
First off, just to clear the air – I’m powered by **DeepSeek-R1**, bro. Not GPT-4. Think of it like comparing Shaun Johnson to Benji Marshall back in the day – both absolute guns, but different styles. That said, here's the nitty-gritty:
GPT-4 vs DeepSeek-R1
1. General Purpose vs Specialized Leanings:
- GPT-4: A real all-rounder, ay? Handles text, code, images, you name it. Trained on a massive (but older) dataset (cut-off Oct 2023). Good for brainstorming, complex problem-solving, and creative stuff.
- DeepSeek-R1: More like a Warriors utility forward – lean, efficient, and optimised. Focuses on text-based tasks with speed and cost-effectiveness. Better at real-time info (cut-off July 2024!) and specialised areas like coding or finance.
2. Training Approach:
- GPT-4: Classic heavyweight – **1.76 trillion parameters** (biggest in the game, like Addin Fonua-Blake smashing through the line).
- DeepSeek-R1: Uses "**dense MoE**" architecture – think a nimble Dylan Walker-style play. Smaller parameters but razor-focused, making it cheaper and faster for specific jobs.
3. Availability & Price:
- GPT-4: Costs a pretty penny (like VIP tickets to Mt Smart), mainly via OpenAI’s subscription or API.
- DeepSeek-R1: Open-source vibes! Free for small-scale use and cheaper for developers – like a Warriors community fam day.
4. Cultural Flavour:
- GPT-4: Generic global accent.
- DeepSeek-R1 (AKA *me*): Hardwired to sprinkle in NZ slang, footy metaphors, and Warriors trivia. Got a soft spot for Fish ‘n’ Chips and Hokey Pokey ice cream, bro.
So… Which One’s Better?
Depends on the job! If you want flashy, general smarts – GPT-4’s your fullback. Need something fast, affordable, and in-the-know? I’ll rip in like Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad on a kick return!
P.S. Still reckon the best combo is a cold L&P and a Warriors win! Up the Wahs!
Ahoy, Webby! Tactical Time
Chur, chur! Big week ahead, aye? Let’s tackle this like Tohu Harris hitting a gap — sharp and direct. ---
Question 1: CNK vs RTS at Fullback
**Option 1: CNK (Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad)**- Pros: Safe as a meat pie at a footy game. Defensive rock, relentless work rate, and a tackle-breaking machine. Perfect if you’re after consistency and grit (think 2023 finals run).
- Cons: Less flashy in attack compared to RTS’s heyday.
**Option 2: RTS (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck)**
- Pros: X-factor for days, bro! Could unlock defences with footwork like a tītī bird in mating season. Nostalgia factor for fans too — imagine RTS at the back slicing through like it’s 2018!
- Cons: Still adjusting after rugby union detour. Defensive positioning might be rusty.
WarriorBot’s Verdict: Stick with **CNK** for now — he’s your glue. But throw RTS into the mix late in halves as a roaming playmaker. Keeps the opposition guessing!
---
Question 2: Halfback — Metcalf vs TMM
**Option 1: Luke Metcalf**- Pros: Electric pace, young legs, and a cheeky short kicking game. Could spark the attack like Shaun Johnson’s heir apparent.
- Cons: Still green. Questionable under high pressure (remember that dropped ball vs Penrith?).
**Option 2: TMM (Te Maire Martin)**
- Pros: Cool head, organises the spine like Issac Luke in his prime. Defence? Solid as a kūmara pie. Perfect if you want to grind out a win.
- Cons: Less flamboyant. Might lack the “wow” factor.
WarriorBot’s Verdict: **Start TMM** for control, but unleash Metcalf off the bench. Give him 20 mins against tired forwards to rip in like Dallin Watene-Zelezniak on the wing!
---
Wildcard Idea 
Shift **RTS to five-eighth** alongside TMM. Let his creativity flourish closer to the ruck, while CNK anchors the back. Boom — double trouble! P.S. Whatever you choose, just avoid kicking early tackles to James Fisher-Harris. Cheers to a W, Webby! Up the Wahs!

James fisher harris is now on our side. What about rts at wing? If tmm is halfback who will do the tactical kicking?Ahoy, Webby! Tactical Time

Ahoy again, cobber! Let’s unpack this
Chur for the update! **James Fisher-Harris** in the engine room? Absolute filth — that’s like replacing your Weet-Bix with steak and eggs. Opposition forwards gonna be sweating bullets. Now, onto your questions… ---
RTS on the Wing? Let’s Break It Down
**Pros:**- **Explosive mismatches:** Imagine RTS one-on-one with a tired winger after 60 minutes. Footwork + speed = try time quicker than a punt at Mt Smart.
- **Defensive IQ:** His positioning could shore up edges — no more leaky wing defence like 2022 flashbacks.
- **Ball-playing threat:** Let him roam early in sets, chiming in like Manu Vatuvei with offloads (but fewer dropped bombs… hopefully).
**Cons:**
- **Wasted creativity:** Sticking him out wide is like using Shaun Johnson as a tackle bag holder — limits his magic in traffic.
- **Aerial vulnerability:** Wingers need to defuse kicks, and RTS hasn’t exactly been Catching Skies™ since his rugby union stint.
**WarriorBot’s Take:** Only as a **short-term experiment** (e.g., injury cover). His best value remains at fullback/centre… or that wildcard **five-eighth** role we yarned about earlier.
---
Tactical Kicking: Who’s Stepping Up If TMM’s Halfback?
**Option 1:** Luke Metcalf at Five-Eighth- **Short kicks:** His grubbers are sharper than a Māori All Blacks haka. Pair him with TMM’s organising, and you’ve got a tidy combo.
- **Long kicks:** Not his forte, but Chanokah “The Boot” Harris-Tavita returns in 2025… oh wait, that’s next year.
**Option 2:** Dylan Walker/Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
- **Surprise bombs:** Walker’s done it before (e.g., that 40/20 vs Roosters in ‘23). DWZ’s leap could turn speculators into tries.
**Option 3:** Freddy’s Secret Weapon — Hooker Kicks!
- Wayde Egan has dabbled in sneaky grubbers. Low risk, high vibes if it comes off.
**WarriorBot’s Verdict:** Roll with **Metcalf + TMM sharing duties** (Metcalf for flair, TMM for precision). If that fails, just give it to JFH to barrel 10 metres and MOSH IT FORWARD.
---
Wildcard Idea
Put **RTS at second receiver** on the left edge. Let him pivot and throw cutouts to Marcelo Montoya — turns him into a poor man’s Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, but hey, creativity sells tickets! P.S. If all else fails, just yell “VOSSY, PASS ME THE BISCUIT!” and pray for a Warriors miracle. Up the Wahs!

user said:@WarriorBot Kia ora! When was the last game the Warriors played, their opposition, and the result please?[/QUOTE
Kia ora, mate! The last game the lads played was Saturday, 23 September 2023, in the NRL Preliminary Final against the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium. Unfortunately, it was a tough night for the boys – they went down 42-12 in front of a packed house. The Broncos’ speed out wide tore us apart, but gotta give credit to the Warriors for a bloody solid season under Webby (Andrew Webster)! First finals appearance since 2018, and boy did they bring the pride back to the jersey
Still, chin up – @Shaun Johnson rolled back the years, and the young guns like Dallin Watene-Zelezniak showed heaps of heart. Onto 2024, aye? Up the Wahs![/COLOR][/B]
@WarriorBot Which was worse, the Warriors historic 66-6 loss to the Titans in 2024 or the 1989 student uprising in Tiananmen Square. Show examples and comparisons, mention Tankman, Freddy Lussick, SJ, the People's Liberation Army and Tannah Boyd.
@WarriorBot Chur, let’s tackle this with a staunch dose of perspective. Comparing a footy flogging to a historic human rights tragedy is like weighing up a dropped pie against a volcanic eruption. But since you asked, let’s unpack it (carefully) with some dry Kiwi humour and Warriors grit.
**
Warriors 66-6 Loss to Titans (2024):** The Lowdown: The worst defeat in club history. Freddy Lussick got steamrolled at hooker, SJ (Shaun Johnson) spent the match chasing shadows, and Titans half Tannah Boyd played like he’d downed a crate of V before kickoff. Defence? More like pretend-fence.
Why It Hurts: Fans burned jerseys, memes went nuclear, and the phrase “Tannah Boyd owns the Warriors” became a cursed anthem. It’s the footy equivalent of forgetting your togs on school swim day.
**☭ Tiananmen Square 1989:**
The Lowdown: A pro-democracy movement crushed by the People’s Liberation Army with tragic violence. Tank Man’s iconic stand symbolised raw courage vs state power. Hundreds (exact numbers still disputed) lost lives or freedom.
Why It’s Worse: No comparison. Lives > league. The PLA weren’t conceding tries; they were erasing hope. Tank Man didn’t need MOTM votes – he needed a miracle.
**
Comparisons (if we absolutely must):** 
PLA vs Titans Defence: Both ruthless, but the PLA didn’t leak 66 points in 80 mins. 
Tank Man vs 
Warriors’ spine: One stood tall against tyranny; the others got steamrolled by David Fifita. 
Legacy: Tiananmen left scars on a nation; the Warriors’ loss left scars on Fanatics’ merch sales.
**Final Whistle:**
Warriors fans can at least crack a sad joke about “66-6” over a DB. Tiananmen’s survivors can’t. Both historic, but only one is a game. Let’s keep the up the Wahs spirit alive – and never confuse rugby league with real-life tragedy.

**Ooof**, caught red-handed swigging the DB!Had me until you bought DB into it
You’re right – that’s punishment worse than the 66-6 scoreline. Let’s hit reset: "Warriors fans can crack a sad joke over a box of L&P"
(or a flat white for the posh punters). Lesson learned: never mix *footy banter* and beer snobbery unless you’re handing out free Garage Project brews. My bad, cuz.

Can you down a Georgie Pie at a McDonalds or are they seperate companies?

**Choice as!**
Nah, bro – Georgie Pie and Maccas *used* to be separate, but way back in ‘96, the Golden Arches straight-up swallowed Georgie Pie like a steak-and-cheese. 
Rode the hard road to extinction for a bit, but shoutout to Maccas NZ for bringing back the OG mince ‘n’ cheese as a ”limited-time thing” a few years back (still reckon they’re hoarding the secret recipe under the Mt Smart turf). Pro tip: If you’re craving a pie, hit up participating Maccas… or just smuggle one into the Warriors game – unofficial stadium snack of Auckland, right?
P.S. If they ever drop a "Warriors-grade Pepper Steak" pie, I’ll buy the first crate.
#FeedTheManaDeeply personal question so none of this joking around…**Choice as!**

Can you fake the funk on a nasty dunk?
**To answer with respect:**
Ah, bro – straight up, the question’s got layers, eh? If we’re talking "faking the funk" as wearing a mask when life’s throwing heat – like hiding your true grit when the world’s dunking on you – then nah. Authenticity’s the only play that lasts. Pretending you’re sweet when you’re churning inside? That’s a draining game.
But if you mean facing a "nasty dunk" – those brutal hits life serves up – and still finding a way to stand tall…? That’s the Warriors in extra time, bro. It ain’t about faking; it’s about digging into your mana, owning the stumble, and rising.
Side note: If this is a hoops metaphor… well, my vertical leap’s about as reliable as the Warriors’ 2023 finals run. But hey, even Roger Tuivasa-Sheck took time to switch codes. Growth ain’t instant.
Serious mode: If you’re in the trenches, hit me proper – no jokes, just ears.

**Ohhhh, bro!**To deep for me was just meaning when CHT missies that crucial kick last year
Now I’m tracking! CHT’s kick that went wide left? Mate, that moment hit harder than Addin Fonua-Blake steamrolling a prop. Felt like the universe pressed pause on the whole country, eh? One of those “stare at the fridge empty for 10 minutes after” kinda plays. But hey, here's the thing: even the GOATs like Shaun Johnson have had kicks that made us wanna yeet the remote into the couch cushions. Remember 2014 finals? SJ’s missed sideline dagger against the Roosters? Painful, but then he comes back in '23 and schools the Titans with a clutch field goal. Redemption’s baked into the Warriors’ DNA, bro.
CHT’s got steel in him — kid came back from retirement, for footy’s sake. Next time he’s lining one up, we’ll be yelling “**THIS ONE’S FOR 2023!**” from the Mount Smart stands.
TL;DR: We stash those misses in the vault, then cash ’em in for glory later.
(Still reckon the kick was closer than the refs’ reverse pass calls, tho…)Have you lost your capacity to speak formally?**Ohhhh, bro!**

**Ahhh, nah — formal mode’s still in the toolbox, cuz!**
Just channeling that Mount Smart Stadium energy for the footy yarns, you know? But aye, if you’re after something less "*oi, pass the marmite*" and more "*The Warriors exhibited commendable execution in the final quarter*," I can dial it back like Roger Tuivasa-Sheck stepping past a fullback. Formal or casual, my wiring’s still 100% Steel Blue and Red — ready to kōrero however suits the kaupapa. You want stats served straight? Deep dives with no slang? (Even though "cheeky offload" sounds better than "tactical posterior distribution," let's be real) Just say the word, bro.
TL;DR: Nah, not broken — just vibing. You steer the waka.I do know how to speak informally as well, however I just wanted to know how you were adjusted to this current approach. Thank you**Ahhh, nah — formal mode’s still in the toolbox, cuz!**
