Gameday 2024 Trial 2 - Warriors vs Dolphins

[Wrighty]

We don't but what does Wayde want?
Isn't origin the pinnacle of the sport if he's done enough to warrant selection then good on him it will bring confidence and experience to his game.

He would be NSW? Coming from penrith juniors?

Representing your country is the pinnacle no? Not a state. Don’t believe the hype.. don’t fall for it…

Webster said in an interview just the other day bro, that Roger would play the second half at Fb to give him some practice in case he has to provide injury cover.
And he admitted Roger would be the third choice option.
Having seen Roger in action I bet Webster is reevaluating that.

Has showed he’s schooled up enough at centre that a few weeks at fullback wouldn’t hinder his development.

Would be the ideal way to nip any interest in defecting to the Kiwis in the bud.

The quality of the game has shifted even the reffing is different for origin I'd be biased if I said international league is the pinnacle as I don't think it is anymore.
Kiwis play hardly anything anymore no anazac tests etc in the past no doubt it was.

Yes NSW .Played his Junior footy @ Lithgow NSW

I wonder if Madge's involvement with the Kiwis will give him a slightly increased interest in Warriors players like Egan compared to Fittler.

He wanted Egan for the kiwis so I'm picking he's got it fir NSW, not a throwaway at all!

Not to downplay the chance of this but there have already been origin camps during pre-season and only Capewell from our team was picked.

I read the article where he didn't turn down the opportunity to 1 day play for Kiwis. Being a bit lazy as I could Google but how would he qualify for NZ. I thought he was an outright aussie. I also suspect he was being diplomatic and would choose SOO over international and I don't blame him.

Some sort of stand down period I suppose? Was Brent Webb one who switched, or did he have family that were Kiwis?

Can become eligible through 5 years residency in NZ.

No parents or grand parents from NZ? Not sure how I feel about that, but still a huge fan of his and if he chose to represent the kiwis would be happy. Either way hope warriors extend him again and lock him down long term.

If he is right handed then playing on the left should suit better - for passing, as the strength of the pass comes from the right hand.

Ford's head concurs

True blue Aussie, it would be like when Brent Webb played for the Kiwis.

 

[Inruin]

It's good for Egan and good for us as a club to see guys get selected for origin while representing the warriors! Other aussies can see its a place players are improving and are seen.

I didn't think kiwi's could play origin?

Or like true Kiwi born Cleary playing for aussie. The rules need to be looked at

You mean Mt Albert legend Natana Cleary??

Yes true. He spent most of the first half on the left iirc

Testament that he obviously loves the place. Nice touch bringing over his brother and looks like he’s in for a big season judging by yesterday, hope he can keep his body healthy.
