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

[WAH MAN]

We might lose but if that's the case make it hurt them and cost them. And may all touch judges and refs and bunker operators and Block and Brandy and Voss all have season ending injuries.

Actually. I'm ok with that team.

And I'll back them until we bow. Whether that's by losing to Penrith or by acknowledging our supporters in victory.

Not sure Webster had any other realistic options except perhaps Healey on the bench but I hope those selected haven't already given up.
In boxing terms " Stay on your feet you can still win on points "

 

[Playdaball]

What a crap team !
A small part of me thought maybe there a chance that Healey will be included in the 17 and TT will make his way into it as well .
Oh well ..,
I’ll still be out at MSS hoping for a win .

 

[Warriors55]

Predictable team naming but would have liked Healey to be there. I think Webster played things a little too safe.

Anyway I will be supporting the boys in the weekend and hoping for something special.

 

[Beastmode]

There is absolutely no way they play 80mins of defense with Capewell and DZW out wide.

There is no points in that team. They are not playing to win.
They are playing not to lose.

 

[kos]

Let’s pray
That the players in
The jerseys numbered
2. 12. And 17
Perform 50/100 percent better than their last six. Consecutive games

Let my lack of confidence be changed

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

I dont know why but is the most craziest thing in warriors history about to happen on saturday?

Anyways, it could be the last for the year 2025, amd its not like the home summers of cricket is looking that flash, so a big break from sports until next season.

Just leave it all out on the pitch on saturday is all I ask.

Healey was one of our best players last week so it makes no sense whatsoever why hes not on the bench. We need that x-factor off the bench. I really hope we dont lose him to another team cause if Im him I cant but feel frustrated to not make the bench after last weeks performance.

Ivan has done the same thing with Jenkins.

Coaches favour experience in finals matches.

Healey signed a 3 year contract. He's not going anywhere unless he sees as little game time next year.

I'm expecting to see a lot more of him in 2026

 

[Vancent]

Chrnze to Ctr, TT to FB, Leka back to bench and Capes in second row.

EIT 18th man.

 

[Ref]

Thank fook Webster saw sense.

No team we roll out is likely to win.

What kind of club would this be if the guys who ground their way loyally to get us into this game were dropped for it on the whimsical notions of fans who don't have to pick up the pieces next season and convince the whole playing roster that if you do as you are asked you will be the ones rewarded.

I know, we would have the same fooked Warriors that fires coaches for losing the dressing room.

Good luck and congratulations to the chosen.

We are gonna lose.

Do it with pride.

Whimsical Notion mentioned.

Straight away I thought of Michael Nesmith.

“It’s only a whimsical notion to fly down to Rio tonight”.

My man.

JFH seems to be embracing his role at the club

 

[Warriorshopeful]

The worry for mine now is losing him. He’s killed it every team he’s came in. Was our best last week and gets dropped for old man, slow motion Egan

Healey was coming off the bench for Jets in NSW cup for 40 mins a game last year. He's doubled his game time this year by coming to us playing 80 mins every week and has played in first grade as well which was highly unlikely for the Sharks, plus he's learning a lot from Egan. I don't get the HeAlEy WiLl LeAvE uS comments. Based on the interviews I've seen from him he's happy with the decision he made to come over.

This is so funny.

"The Panthers have notified the NRL that a Warriors fan page on Facebook is encouraging supporters to make a scene outside Penrith’s team hotel in Auckland to disrupt their preparations for the elimination final"

According to The Sydney Morning Herald, an unofficial Warriors fan page on Facebook has urged its 35,000 members to cause chaos outside the Pullman Hotel in Auckland, where the Panthers team are staying, in the very early hours on Saturday morning to distract the premiers who will be doing battle with the Warriors later that day.

The page on Facebook is titled “New Zealand Warriors Till I Die” and is a private supporter group

This was the actual post. The guy who wrote this, was just clowning around. It so obvious.

ATTENTION ALL WARRIORS WHANAU!

This Saturday we take on the Panthers at home, its our jobs as fan to help our boyz as much as possible so I have put together a multi choice list of ways to help

A) Pullman Hotel - The hotel the Panthers will stay at, fireworks, burnouts and screaming outside the hotel is highly reccomend anytime between 1-4am on Saturday.

B) Egging the coach box - bring eggs into the game and egg the panther coach box

C) Pitch invadez (LAST RESORT) - If panthers are on attack and we're a man or two short on D feel free to jump onto the field and get into the defend line

Everything goes this Saturday, any questions please DM ME.

LES GO ONE NZ WARRIRORS

THANKS SIONE T

[MrFrankWhite]

There’s no way this is the team Webby runs with on game day.

100% the team he runs out, unless someone is making a debut

Will take that. Atkins has been the best ref this year IMO. Bunker can get f’d though

Some crowd pressure might be handy, Atkins looked pretty nervous in the game he officiated this round. Can’t recall the game but he was under huge pressure
