Pick Your Team Dragons v Warriors - [Round 10, 2025]

[Canonball]

Hoping Ali's fit enough to play then we have

1. TT
2. DWZ
3. CNK
4. Ali
5. Pompey

Same pack and bench, Capewell organizing left edge and veteran backs to help Leka on the right

Everyone knows everyone and have played together in those positions before.

This is a good backline... i'm pretty against Harper coming in - would rather someone else if need be - having watched a few cup games it's his defence which often leads to points against, and makes plenty of mistakes in possession too

 

[RobRoyMcCoy]

1. TMM
2. TT
3. CNK
4. Pompey
5. DWZ
6. Chanel
7. Luka
8. Nuikore
9. Egan
10. Barnett
11. Leka
12. Capewah
13. Clark

14. Healy
15. Ford
16. Vaimaunga
17. Laban

 

[Get them onside ref!]

Here’s my guess.

1. CNK
2. DWZ (back from injury)
3. Capewell (as cover)
4. Ali (assuming ankle was a twist only)
5.. Pompey
6. Cht
7. Metcalf
8. Niukore (or JFH if fit)
9. Egan
10. barnett
11. Laban
12. Halasima
13. clarke

14. Healy
15. Ford
16. demetric
17. Niukore (if JFH fit), or TSS / Afoa

We need forward power - remember Wollongong last year.

Assuming TT, Kosi, Berry ruled out. RTS not yet ready. JFH 50:50 but have a feeling he will be back..assuming Ali only minor injury and ruled out this week as a precaution only. Didn’t look too bad on moon boot - just following protocols and expecting him back in.

Other option - Harper in on left wing with Ali to right, Pompey to left centre Harper to wing.

Let’s see how busted we are.

Banana Skin game
Their forwards dorked us last year
Every team now will be after us
low expectations again for me

So why did we sign him
To play Capewell in the centres
And Harper in NSW CUP
go figure

 

[tyrael]

I rather MGT come into centers or wing than Harper.

Yes. But if he's up, he's up.

Mgts form in cup deserves promotion imo.

Is Harper that bad?
Played for Manly back in the war days

We had forward power last year
If red V get a roll on
Big boyz come to rock from them
We the target
Them the arrow
Just like Robin Hood

Better off to promote from within it's definitely working so far this season MGT played brilliant on Sunday very versatile.
Harper's been average even in cup.

 

[Canonball]

Okay - taking stock - from the first grade squad we will probaly have these outside backs available: TT, Charnze, Pompey, DWZ - I think that's your wings and centres for the Drags, and having TMM at fullback makes a serviceable side - hoping Ali is available tho, which makes selection a whole lot easier - like I said I just don't think Harper has been up to scratch on the eye test of watching him in cup this year

Great Team
I would be happy with that

 

[The Warrior Waka]

I hope Moses Suli isn't on the same side as Taine. The amount of 2 on 1 plays where Taine had to defend it in the weekend would be worse with Moses running at him.

Somebody remind me - didn't TMM play at fullback in one pre-season trial and he carved up or is that a figment of my imagination?

No

Yes, against an SG Ball Storm side.

It was insane how much he was out numbered in that game

 

[Wrighty]

If only RTS were coming back round 10 we could chuck him in as the other centre. He is highly qualified to play there.
