Pick Your Team (2025 Finals Week 1) - Warriors vs Penrith [Round 28, 2025]

NZWarriors.com

If Webby hopes to win against Penrith with defense, then he has to drop DWZ.

DWZ is the weakest link in our team

Put TT on the wing.
Leka at Center and we look much stronger defensively


DWZ does not suit Webbys game plan.
Its been proven.

Our only hope in beating Penrith is to strangle them on D, put them under constant pressure until they make a mistake.
We wont match them with attack so CNK needs to be make his tackles as the last line!

Its all about Defense if we want to win. Grind it out
Our only chance of beating Penrith is to score more points than them. Grind all we want but we need some points scorers
 
What's Boyd's stats the last 5 games ?
6 try assists,
6 linebreak assists,
10 tackle breaks

Hes going well. He defence needs work but hes the best playmaker we currently have.

Yesterdays game, stastically was his best game in nrl this year and his defence was ok and improved from prior games.

 
In Cup like Cleary or against full time professionals? If you mean NRL, he has 5 try assists in his last 5 games
Are cup players part time professionals? Those 5 try assists were scored by Full Time professionals as well. What reason is there to not think Cleary could not do the same?

BTW, No shade. Just searching for better options than Boyd & CHT. Or if there are any.

For the most part, yes.
If Cleary can't regularly put guys into positions to score in reserve grade then I think he's a way off being able to do that in the top league. Boyd is a back up NRL half and in his last 5 Cup games he scored a try & assisted in 5 more.
 
If Webster is serious, there’s no way that Healy cannot be in the 17. He mentioned in the press conference that Egan will be back next week, but there must be a spot in the 17 for him. If he doesn’t play, he won’t stay!
We all want Healey in the team but in order for that to happen Boyd would need to dropped and replaced by TMM. Chances of that happening is very low so TMM will retain #14. Healey will trouble Penrith with his running game.
 
In his last 5 games he has zero try assists, zero tries & 1 linebreak.
What have you seen from him in the last month that would warrant a debut in an Elimination playoff?
There is no warrant Cces. Just picking my team. Had a shot. Don't expect it to pass anybody's scrutiny.

But on a serious note I wouldn't debut him this week except for the fact that Tanah ain't doing it. Even then I wouldn't seriously debut Jett.
 
Penrith’s 19 yr old prodigy against our 19 yr old prodigy is a great matchup

Imagine if Webs did the unthinkable and put the slowies like Capewell or CNK to mark him. DWZ be having nightmares all night
IDK, one's an actual damn good centre in a high functioning backline and the other is a freak backrower playing out of position..

When you’re 19 and feel invincible you can play anywhere

Anyway, its not like McClean has years of experience in that spot unless you include his kindergarten years 😂
