Team List Knights v Warriors - [Round 20, 2025]

[mrblonde]

I think its just recognizing his form for the season, i cant see him debuting over toeava.

I see it as an easing in, have him around the NRL boys for a week, maybe two, see what NRL's like. Prep, rehab, nutritition, media...
Then he goes back to NSW, told to work on whatever.
He works on that Whatever, he's suddenly in the 17. Debut Time.
I always regard the NSW Cup and making players ready for NRL as a bit of NSW/NRL/NSW/NRL chop-and-changing as appropriate to the player and their development.
Prime example is The More Talanted Cleary. Total disaster to promote him to NSW and then so quickly to have him around the NRL Team. Slow and steady. Especially as the promotion was unexpected - if it was going to happen at some time this season, I don't think anyone anticipated it happening now and for so long...

Ali was pretty good in the first half of NSW that he played last week and was marking Taylan May.
Things turned to shit in the second half when he was off. Probably just a coincidence?
If he’s not considered ready I would play Fatialofa.
We just can’t keep defaulting Capewell to centre.

Taine
Dallin
Ali or Fatialofa
Pompey(the one constant) Has he played the most games in the last 3 seasons.
RTS
CHT
Boyd
JFH
Egan
Ford
Capewell
Laban
Clark

TMM
Leka
Demi
TSS

Before someone says “where is Niukore”.
The answer is;
Who would you drop from my team?

Nah, Capewah to centre, Ali is out of favour and Fatialofa is not ready for FG. He needs more Cup. Niukore is a starter for sure. We need as much experience as possible and he and Fish are our enforcers especially with Barnett out.

Ironic that Pompey, who looks the most physically-fragile out of our centres, is the most injury-free. Wasn't it 2023 that he played every game for the Wahs?

we can cover back row but can barely cover centre, capes to centre it is. let ali get some reps under the belt, be careful about how many kids we throw in. what we have been doing this season is working, why is everyone so adament on doing something different lol

I'm more comfortable with Capewell at Centre than others. No more than 18 points conceded when he's played there this year, an average of 13.5 & all wins. At Centre I don't see him offering much different to Berry offensively. Not quite as agile but would have scored in the identical situation Berry did last weekend. Berry ain't dished up a single Try Assist in his last 11 games & only has 2 in his last 23 games so we ain't losing any distribution skills.
Fatialofa over Kosi is a weird selection when Ali & EIT are already on the bench meaning if RTS or DWZ went down at training then Pompey is the only other genuine Wing option unless they'd consider TMM to #1 & Tuaupiki onto a Wing

Is there any news on TT? he took a massive hit to the ribs and looked pretty ginger afterwards.

Webby said there wasn't any injury concerns other than Rocco's dislocated shoulder in the presser after the last game.

TT said he’s fine in the post game interview
