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

[CWC]

With boyd shanking sitters

He will miss a few in front then nail all the sideline kicks when we are 30 points down

 

[Damo]

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

Capewell is 5-1 starting at centre this season with a similar team to what is named

EDIT: Jokes. Metcalf and/or Barney were there for most of those.

 

[Dannevegas]

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

Boyd/Marata/xxx/Dallin edge has been the demise of our D this year

To’o double, sorenson atts and wahs 12 under be a good payout multi

 

[Nambawan]

Oh well, good luck team! Its been a great ride.

Capewell is a big game player, so im not too pissed by him playing centre.

This panthers team isn't pure speed either.

Beg to differ - the two centres - McLean (particularly) and Tago are quick. The 5/8 is also speedy.

 

[Tohu’s_Knees]

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.

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)

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.

No Healey as expected. Next to no chance of winning this. Penrith 13+. Don't really give a shit now.

 

[Rick O’Shay]

Genuinely look at this team and think how the fuck are we gonna win?
If we can camp in there 20 for the actual whole game we might win 2-0

Fixed that for ya

 

[Rick O’Shay]

Fixed that for ya

Two dropped goals by CHT btw

 

[Dannevegas]

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

 

[Makasene]

After calling for it for a long time I have to disagree with CNK to centre.

What it showed is CNK pretty much has nothing except taking hit ups.

He probably needs to be fullback or left right out.

 

[Rick O’Shay]

Ok, so we're going to out grind the Panthers. LMAO.

We beat them last time by having players that could move the ball, show some shape and put points on. Certainly wasn't a grind fest.

Panthers by my age

 

[snake77]

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.

Well we ain't going through or around them. Gotta try and gas them before we can score points

Shit predicting a 70 point loss a bit rough don’t you think

 

[sup42]

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.

 

[WAH MAN]
