Team List Dolphins vs Warriors - [Round 11, 2025]

[Wrighty]

I can’t see Webby putting RTS at centre for one game.
Every option I have considered sends Capewell to 11/12 and Niukore to middle bench.
Is CNK going to be rested after his “head knock” last week whether RTS is ready or not.
I’d say naming TMM and MGT gives them plenty of cover and options.
I’d rest CNK whether RTS is ready or not.

Yes I agree CNK needs to be rested this game. He looked like he had been through the wringer towards the end of last game. We don't need a rotation policy like the ABS but we shouldn't go all iron man either.

 

[Wrighty]

Plus, every now and then their full back drops it.

Good times.

Yes that is the other consideration. Especially if you can do a spiral bomb or some of the kicks Matt Burton does.

RTS was training with the team for today's media day. I suspect like others he should be fit for Saturday. I guess we will see when they get on the plane tomorrow.

Altho i agree it wouldnt be one game if he goes in its gotta be for until atleast around 14 when the centres are back

Doesn’t the average player only play about 20 of the 24 games a year? Very few play every single game.

I think a player out for a few weeks once or twice in the season keeps people fresher.

This happens naturally a bit through injury, HIA, etc.

Players like CNK that give 110% can’t maintain that intensity and fatigue on the body forever.

 

[Noitall]

Interesting to see the TMM selection again. Is the club seeing if he could be handy as the 14 going forward?

 

[watcher]

I think RTS is a certainty, but where. MGT is in the reserves as well TT has done nothing to be dropoed for whoever is right centre will be against Farnsworth, who is a gun.

He's a winger or a fullback.

In my coaching opinion.

 

[miket12]

In Webby we trust!!!!

In my coaching opinion.

Agreed.

We tried the centres. It didn't work.

Backup for Metcalf's cramp prone hamstrings?

 

[Noitall]

Backup for Metcalf's cramp prone hamstrings?

Probably more accurate. Spelling Egan has seen CHT shifted to hooker and TMM come on at five eighth, but Healey is on the bench too

 

[Get them onside ref!]

Banana skin game for us. I can see their backs skinning ours.

Move up
Take no dummies
Don’t allow Katoa and Nikorima to start running
Otherwise
Andrew Webster will definitely need a cuddle

 

[WHB]

Great to see Healy named in the 17. I assume RTS will be subject to a fitness test with TT to drop out. Agree both TMM and Healy on bench is a little small. However, if "Smokey Joe" Webster pulls another swifty it could be RTS to centre, TT stays on the wing, Capewell to second row, big Marata to the bench and Healy or TMM to drop off.

Personally I would like to see Healy retained but TMM is a class player to leave out.

I think your bang on.
If RTS fails fitness test,MGT goes in ??

If Metcalf goes down with hamstring injury then we'll need a straight swap. Healey still needed to spell Egan.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Looks like the last two weeks we've had the bench around the wrong way.

Healey's debut we had 2 backs injured mid game. TMM would have been really handy in this game.

Nek game we drop Healey to have more back cover with TMM, so of course we have 2 forwards injured.

Hope Webby gets it right this week!

That’s why I think TMM has done himself no harm by filling in in the middle. He can fill a lot of positions on the field

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Good team but I can't see Webby having both TMM and Healey on the bench for this one. I'd suggest that RTS comes into centre, TT and one of Healey/TMM drop out of the side, Capes goes back to centre and Marata drops back onto the bench. So we'll have a bench of Marata, Demi, Laban and Healey/TMM.

I’d rather RTS goes back to his left wing if Tuaupiki was to drop off and Capewell stay centre. Not a fan of RTS centre
