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

[WahsaurusRex]

Is it Tanah -- Marata -- Capewell --- Dwz on that side?

Yep -

DWZ on Alamoti
Capewell on McLean
Niukore on Sorensen
Boyd on Talagi

CHT on Cleary ()
Halasima on Martin
Pompey on Tago
RTS on To'o

 

[Warriors55]

Our right side is the weakest link. Logically Penrith attacks that point continuously until the predictable happens….

That edge has to be extremely tight and in sync because if they bust us on that side we aint going to catch them.

 

[WAH MAN]

Yep -

DWZ on Alamoti
Capewell on McLean
Niukore on Sorensen
Boyd on Talagi

CHT on Cleary ()
Halasima on Martin
Pompey on Tago
RTS on To'o

CNK will need to drift to cover Edwards injection to create the overlap.

I like how they've left room underneath for:

2026
2027
2028
2029

Mate, I'm trying to stay positive, but when you put it in stark terms like that...

If we swap Leka and Marata to opposite edges we look a bit better

If you only mod the five, options become 6 or 8. Could happen or maybe it's Warriorholic and he's right?

Laser removal is much cheaper now. Hopefully they only need to remove the 5.

They are smart because the NSW cup team are not excluded.

 

[snake77]

Can easliy turn the 5 into a 6. Next year is our year.

Maybe turning the 6 into an 8 is more realistic.

Or it's the years you won the comp in Rugby League Live on the hardest difficulty.

Man for man how many of these match up favour us ???

They have fire power to bust us wide open on multiple fronts … I can’t see us holding the line for a full 80mins… we gonna need some serious luck with the ball on bombs and kicks

We have to actually slow down their ruck speed. Limit metres and shut that massive strike power down.

On attack we need to to go from Lekas edge to Maratas edge on attack and strike everywhere. They can be beat.

Think I might be peaking too early hahaha

Absolutely it's gonna be about taking the sting out of them first. Won't be easy but it's our only hope.
Out grind them and let Leka and RTS and others try for points

Crap team was too hard and a great effort to get into the top 8, however we shouldn’t be content with just finishing 6th now that we’ve come so far.
Do you think this team is good enough to get us our 1st NRL premiership?
Yep, the side misses Barnett and Metcalf. Good news - a heap of good young guys are coming through . There are still areas that they’ve not addressed - lack of speed, solid back up in certain areas, having the ability to change game plan …
In saying that I’ll be there on Saturday as I’ve done since 1995 to cheer on the team !!

Yeah mate fully agree when we started the season the players we lost not counting the injuries, in some ways it is a crap team with a pretty decent coach.
Lots to work on positions to fill but the fixes sort of stick out like dogs balls, hopefully Webbys not getting too attached to some players and compromising the team. I would've accepted 10th to start the season but you're right we should aim for the premiership and top 4.

Clever move not including "NRL" in that tat.

Worst case scenario for him is if everything else for the Warriors goes belly-up, he can claim he's right as we're 2025 Premiers with the Harold Matthews.

Capewell on attack might try and use his size to get over Mclean and then do it repeatedly until Alamoti helps. Then he can free the glorious flowing locks of our poorest defender for a free run to the try line

You try slowing the ruck..

Ding ding

“Set restart..”

Slow it by making them get up in pain.. No flops or wrestling necessary.

If all goes as logic and cold hard facts dictate. We are no hope. What say thee Mr Mode?

Bro you just know we’re gonna get fucked up the arse by the refs in this game.
