Rog gets fb surely, we lose less with Ali or Pomps at centre, Taine's defence positioning worries me.

The man who would rip his own leg off and poke himself in the eye to place that ball down lol

It will be interesting to see if we get any games during the season where a team doesn't receive a penalty.

The 6 agains seemed a lot like last year. We get field position and it seems like they are hard to come by and then when we are in our 20 the 6 again hooter starts going off. Two things with that some of the calls will be our discipline in slowing things down. The second one we are resilient in holding teams out.

A lot of games it does seem like we get 6 again calls later in the game when the score is blown out. It would be more useful earlier when the scores are closer.

The main referee call I'd argue was in the second half where a Dolphins player went back through the ruck. We got pinged for that a lot last year. Instead today the ref was more worried about Barnett shortening the 10 metres by moving forward.

Mate I 100% agree with all this and add more attacking opportunities coming our way playing rts there but all reports say it's taines spot so be interesting to see how if all plays out

 

[sup42]

RTS per Webster has been given a roving commission from Center (seen that work with Greg Inglis, Israel Falau, and Fatrell Mitchell) so no need to bump him back to Fullback since we already have an excellent Fullback in Charnze.

Real shame we did not see CNK and RTS on the same park today because I think that will be dynamite and will calm down the calls to put Roger at Fb.

 

[Inruin]

Solid hit out for everyone. All get an A++ rating in preparation for the season game day ratings. 90% of selections locked in for AW. Going to be an interesting team naming. Whoever gets picked is going to do a job for us

 

[the WARs]

warriors look the goods ...fuck the ref(but we need to tidy up in the tackle) ...JAZZ to NSW cup ..RTS my MOM what a beast he must be loving this new Warriors team of hard men Vs many of the last lot powderpuffs he played with..

and #1 for me the FUCKING DEPTH never in all the years a WAR fan have we had the depth

..

 

[chrisnz]

Alot of them penalties were for pulling that leg it's a new rule and we were on top of it till late in the game when the tempo crept up that's going to have a big effect in the early rounds of this season.

 

[Matiunz]

We didn’t seem to get the memo on the new leg pull interpretations, kept getting pinged for it- we need to adapt on the fly in games

 

[j_p]

Tell ya what. I know theyve said its not happening but if Charnze is out for a bit, Rog at the back then whoever of Berry/Pompey/Leautaua at centre seems damn solid to me.

I'm a tuaupiki fan and thought he stepped up but this isn't a bad option either. When the hell have we ever had so many options in the past? If injury gods and judiciary is good to us this truly could be our year. Shaun Johnson the stage is all yours.

 

[the WARs]

Actually I hope JAZZ goes into the NSW and get put in the hooker role as thats one place I could see him come back into the fold ..as that could be an area we could see injuries affected FG depth

Notice it alot more in the last 30 as per comment before its going to be prevalent to start the season especially as fatigue sets in think of how many reps have to be unlearnt.

Taine Tuaupiki looked pretty good in the first half. He's different to CNK who is so dependable.

The young fella with his speed looked good supporting in the middle.

The main thing was a few times on our line where he'd get caught in the play the ball and wouldn't move across which left us open to a kick. That lead to the first Dolphins try and nearly happened later in the first half.

Not sure if RTS back at fullback was to keep him on the field and giving him more game time back in league while giving the centre options some game time. Or if they were keen to see him back and fullback to see a few things. He looked good back there. Looked good at centre as well. Went back there and was back to doing a lot of work.

That's what I was thinking. They're both insane defenders and dynamic in attack.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

What's the difference between Zions send off & Hopoates head on head tackle just now?

 

[the WARs]

we are going see heap of try's off RTS shoulder .. I actually really like him in centre more than FB

 

[snake77]

It looks like they have worked quite a bit on their left side attack. I hope it clicks like we saw with the right hand side last year.

We will always be more right side focused with Johnson on there. He's so good at getting guys in to holes when they run the required lines.

They have given Metcalf a lot of time in the trials to push his claim for the 6 jersey.

 

[Up the guttz]

My key points…..

Taine is a good back up to CNK
DWZ and Montoya done well
RTS is the goat!! Berry done well
Metcalf did enough to get first shot, I think CHT will be pushing him by mid year
SJ still rules
AFB and Barnett were got Marata was great in the middle!!
ford should be replaced by Labain
Capwah was great
Tohu is still the man
Egan is a top 3 #9 and daylight to Lussick.
Jazz needs to prove his worth in cup.

Overall happy with the game and I think out NSW cup team is gunna kill it!!!
