Pick Your Team Bulldogs v Warriors - [Round 23, 2025]

[Boston Boy]

With Laban being out for the season, it gives EIT a good chance to secure his positon in first grade for next year

I'd love to see EIT sub on in the middle and Fatialofa on an edge. Give him a crack, such quick feet and very evasive.

 

[Falcon]

Got me there. They would played on with broken arms in the 70s! Lol.

The magic water sponge back then did wonders! Imagine the trainer telling Laban to ‘run it off’

 

[Falcon]

Healey needs to be in the 17 and used as a running lock forward replacement.
EIT offers versatility. Thinking Vaumanga (fingers crossed) and Ale ( fingers crossed) make up the bench. Start with Ford ( fingers crossed he gets a sub) and Niukore.

No matter what team we manage to put out on Saturday, I cannot see any scenario where the boys are allowed to win. Creighton fine instead of 2 weeks min sit down is one piece of evidence, the other is the opportunity for the Panthers to jump into 4th, thus continuing 2 x Sydney fairytales.

Pick the team on understanding this reality and seeking a personal willingness and absolute commitment to leave nothing on the table from an effort point of view, and taking any crazy official decisions as positive reinforcement that we are being screwed and hence, we'll show them! You are dealing with new Warriors and we know exactly what's going on!

Webby should get everyone together and ask for volunteers to step forward

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this point.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

The way I see it is we've had a great year. Literally our best forward, and best back (who was winning the Daly M race) get season ending injuries which most teams would struggle to fill their void, but with the rest of the injuries we've had over the last month, we just simply can't compete with the top teams and we've struggled big time.

No shame in that at all. I think we can all see that while we have flaws in our team, but when we have 80% of our team available we're a chance against anyone.

I imagine we'll creep into the 8, but imo top 4 is long gone. Id be thrilled if we were able to get to the 2nd week of the finals, but for me the biggest key from here on out is to give some of the newer boys - EIT, TSS, Healey, Vaimauga, Leka (and hopefully Ali) a little bit more experience and a taste of finals at the end of the year. I think if even debut one of our younger wingers like Kali, lord knows if we don't replace Kosi he'll be getting 10+ games in first grade nek year anyways.

It's a shame our year has been derailed, but there's still plenty to play for and I think we'll be much better for it come 2026
