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

Charnze moves to centre
Capewell back to 2nd row - Leka bench
TSS drops off bench (unless EIT isn’t fit)
Tuaupiki comes in - I’d personally run him on wing and put RTS out the back but likely the reverse of that

And Webby is a deadset idiot if he doesn’t run Healey on the bench. Fuck it - drop Boyd and run TMM in the halves if needed.

Have to think outside the box to beat Penrith - team as named hasn’t and won’t do SHIT.

Edit - I’d even run with Bunty on the bench. Come on and run hard and defend. Simple.
Wouldn’t surprise me if he keeps it the same, he hasn’t changed the 17 to many times this season

Only once to the extent I’ve mentioned that I can remember
Vs Dolphins when he first moved Charnze to centre (didn’t bode well for us then haha)
 
We need to play our GF here.
Throw the ball around and have a real go.

Or at the very least, make Penrith actually work for it and don’t give them a free run.
Don’t like our odds but we can win this. With a grand finals worth of heart and a dash of luck.
Our best hope is to engage in the grind and tackle them into the ground. Not easily done but it is the only way and then hope for some Leka/RTS magic and Boyd to ice the kicks.
 
Good seeing Ieremia-Toeava named. When he went off with his shoulder in the last game it looked like he could be out for a while and in for a disrupted pre season.

Let's hope he doesn't injure it again and he isn't just being named and moved on later similar to Vaimauga being named to start earlier in the season after injuries his knee.
 
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.
