[CWC]

Last week we were like we'll have a few questions answered after the storm game. We kinda did lol.

Imagine if we can reproduce that intensity for R1 and R3 of the playoffs and use the GF emotion to carry it for the finale

Gotta win these games vs lower ranked and improve the PD if we wanna have the best positions for September R1 and get the week off

 

[Garry Saloon]

Praying for no changes

Hopefully boyd is fine to play and hooefully no smoke screens aka keep ali and rog center

 

[1995warriorsfan]

Can't complain about that team.

 

[Naynay]

Thank god no changes (atm atleast) may see Barney drop in for EIT and CNK for hanson. But please leave the 1-13 unchanged.

Whoever said Boyd was injured, the teamlist points to Tss, he's out.

Get a bit twitchy when he names the team everyone wants

 

[RobRoyMcCoy]

Liking that team with Capewell back in and Laban and Niukore on the bench. Laban perhaps unlucky to miss out on a starting spot to Leka but the X Factor won out it seems.

Great to see Barnett back. If he plays we have a fearsome forward pack and someone awesome is going to miss out. Would prefer CNK to not play, but it is hardly a serious problem if he does at FB. However, Tanah Boyd is my main concern and the selection of Luke Hanson does suggest it may be real that he has a problem. However, could be the old smoke and mirrors too.

CNK to centre you reckon

Pretty sure Hanson was on the extended bench last game too?

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Happy with the team named.

If Chanel and Boyd are good to go, move CNK and hopefully Barny to the 6 interchange and we good to go

I think it’s pretty standard at this point to have a half or “half like” on the bench just incase. Given how we have used CNK as a 6 before we could see him come on and Hanson to get some nsw cup time. Or CNK for Taine wouldn’t be that suprising. As long as he stays away from centre

Seems like an embarrassing case of mistaken identity. Aussie journos simply confusing TSS for Boyd when listening to Webby in the presser. Haha

 

[CWC]

If Barney for Marata

 

[tajhay]

Is there a reason why the team names RTS in 3 and not 4? They name him as they they are partnering him with DWZ when it is AKP. I recall a few years back it was because of the jersey sizes but for it to happen still?

 

[JustLikeStartingOver]

CNK to centre you reckon

Put Jacko on the edge for old times sake, that’ll give em an obstacle to overcome
