Gameday Dolphins vs Warriors - [Round 11, 2025]

[tyrael]

Woke up to it absolutely pissing down

Makes even more sense for TMM to TSS then.

 

[Bluecat]

Warriors 12 and under. We're getting better but we're still not good enough (yet) to absolutely steam roll the opposition. Especially after half time. I can see it coming though with the new guys coming through and the experienced guys we have teaching them.
It would be great to see TSS get a start. A big moment for him
2 points tonight to keep us at the top

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Hopefully he's bulked up from his Warriors profile.

186kg / 95kg is going to get bullied in the middle

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Pretty good trajectory for him too. Dev -> Top 30 3mnths ago -> reserve player -> debut round 11.

Great to see. He’s really kicked on after looking like he was in competition with Zyon Maiu’u for that smaller middle forward position. He’s progressed while Zyon Maiu’u has gone backwards to a degree and gives me the impression of different attitudes between the two. Does anyone if TSS was let go by the bulldogs, or if it was TSS wanted to return to NZ? He’s playing for a contract extension too, so I’m expecting him to put his best foot forward

He wanted to return to NZ. He wasn't there for long anyway. Did a couple training sessions with Dogs SG ball.

As mentioned regarding Zyon Maiu’u going the other way, sad to see after there was so much hype surrounding him. Interesting TSS making selection over Ale and their contract status, feel like Ale is right on the outer despite recently returning from injury

Unwarranted hype. Zyon Maiu’u never did anything other than run over some kids in a domestic U20's competition.

Yeah its wraps for Ale you would have to assume unfortunately. Younger guys coming through who will probably yield more long term benefits if they are invested in. Ale will get snapped up in Aus for sure. Thought he was on the bring of being an NRL mainstay in one of those Redcliffe covid years. Was unstoppable in QLD cup that year. One of the most unlucky injury runs.

Guess Bunty and Ale could be in competition for another spot after both off contract at the end of the year, but Bunty being used gives the impression he’s favoured over Ale too? Hope he gets more opportunities to impress

What do we think TTS playing weight is? He does looked quite small but have to be above 95kg.

Rts looks to be taller than him, so more like 182cm

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Earn it. Impose our style and plan. It works. Can we sustain it today? I think so. This game is there for the taking.

No disrespect to the doll fins

Get it boys

Dwizzy for a double.
Pompey for a try of the year contender.
Metty Chitty Chinky and Eeegz to fire to devastating effect for a scoreline of

36 - 14 to us

 

[Lance155]

We need to bash them so hard in the middle they have nothing left in the tank to attack

run Leka at Nikorima all day. His idiot genes are activated when he makes decisions under pressure.

 

[Get them onside ref!]

Watch Nikorima and his inside balls to people running off him
We always fall for those types of plays
Move up
Knock over
No dummies
Or you will be made to look like a dummy

 

[Cces]

Online people are suggesting it's TSS in for TMM. Would make more sense if he replaces Laban so we're carrying another genuine middle. Niukore/Barnett are already our edge cover

 

[Sir Arrow]

RTS and return in the same sentence gives me PTSD

Not really. Webster has played with a 3 middles and 1 2nd rower in all the games Capewell wasn't in the centres. Apart from the Healey debut game

Its great if TSS does get a debut but I do prefer a bench with Healey on it

 

[Rick O’Shay]

With all that speed out wide, wouldn't surprise me to see the Phins kicking short and early. Need to have our wits about us and some cover.
However, if we pulverise them in the middle it should slow things down considerably. I'm picking Capewah and Leka to be finding some holes

Us by a few (don't want to jinx it)
