Pick Your Team Knights v Warriors - Round 9, 2024 PICK YOUR TEAM

[Worried2Death]

Try Taine, find defence not good. Fullback not have tackles made like 6. TMM ok. Find attack not problem. Leaking points no good, win games can't like that.

Thanks kemosabe. Hi ho Silver, away!

18th A Leiataua

I think RTS would be a team player and do a better job on the wing, we won't lose the tough carries, that's what he wants to do anyway, maybe just as suspect as Montoya under the high ball but will be more attacking than Montoya.

I love what Montoya has done in the past but this year it's not working. Besides Adam Pompey can plug that edge defensively with Capewell which is a smart move by webby changing Ford to the right. He also has the added bonus of taking the goal kicking duties of SJ while he's hurt.

I think Ale would be more suited to the wider channels amd not prop, although he's done a job there. So Zyon Maiu’u is first pick prop for now.

Laban can do with some more cup time. As he gets ready for another stint, and he's done a good job so not a dropping at all.

Roache is good enough to play 14 I just wish webby would utilize him more, maybe the game just didn't suit last weekend?

Ali Leiataua as 18th man is a threat to Berry to sharpen up his defense. I think he's the reason dallin is making bad defensive reads. Berry could tackle up high when closer to our line. Maybe dallin needs to stand a few metres behind Berry?

 

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

Blah blah blah

It will be the same team unless there are injuries or our first choice are coming back from injury.

Which I'm happy with.

 

[WahsUltras]

Looks like J Saifiti will be ruled out after suffering an Achilles injury

 

[Mr Drag]

Knights must be scared!
Not much we can do but prey DWZ doesn't come off his wing in defence!

 

[Up the guttz]

Exactly!! Webby is not going to make mass changes, it’s not like there are others banging down the door in cup either. Once we get our injured players back then a few changes will happen.

 

[Kav1]

You guys are so funny with all your wholesale changes.

We have a shit load of injuries atm and unless there are better players to bring in your just shuffling deck chairs on the titanic to satisfy your anger cause you get so worked up after win and so irrational after a loss.

Unless the root cause of the issues is addressed you really think bringing in Pompey and Taine at 5/8 is going to change anything.

I think there are some positional changes in the backs which must be considered:

1. I am tired of yelling at Dalin to stay out on his winger, rather than rushing in to tackle no one. I would put him at fullback where he could focus on anyone who breaks through the line. He also would bring the ball back stronger than Chanze. He has experience in this role as well, having played there for the Bulldogs and the Kiwis before joining the Warriors. He could still be involved in attacking the high balls put up by Shaun.
2. Move Chanze to right centre where he has been most successful in a sweeping role. He has also played successfully for the Kiwis at centre. This would allow him to use his energies where most effective.
3. Place Roger outside him on the wing where he takes on a finishing role.
4. Move Rocco to left centre which would strenthen the defence on that side.
5, Leave the halves as is but consideration given to reversing the roles of Te Maire and Channel when the latter becomes available. The latter is too talented to be on the bench.
6. I would leave Marcel on the left wing. He is reliable under the high ball and does his job when chances come his way (not very often as the attack is very much down the right hand side).

Just my thoughts

Good thoughts Bro, but we all know Webby is going to do what he always does!

That sounds terrible.

When was the last time you saw him play fullback? Got any memories of him playing fullback? If no, would recommend you watch how he went.

He has enough brain farts at wing, can you imagine when he gets more touches per game and then tries to do stupid long passes or offloads deep in our 20.

I remember him at Bulldogs, It was a disaster!

 

[Sammyw]

One thing I definitely don’t want to happen this weekend is DWZ moved to fullback lol.

I’m comfortable with minimal changes, these fuckers just need to sort their attitude out. Defence and discipline is all attitude. They are simply believing their own hype tbh.

 

[Kav1]

Why was he picked at fullback for the Kiwis then (and made captain)?

 

[Kav1]

Good thoughts Bro, but we all know Webby is going to do what he always does!

Does he read this forum? I am offering my tuppence worth in case he runs out of ideas!

 

[Zaggo]

How was he picked at fullback then (and made captain)

He was picked... And fairly promptly flicked to us once he scored about 1 try in 2 seasons. Making a decision doesn't mean it was a good decision.

Putting DWZ to fullback makes absolutely no sense when we have CNK, RTS and Taupiki.

 

[jonesy101]

To be fair to Kav1 I do recall he had an exceptional game for the Kiwis but that was some years ago and is not an entire season of NRL. Also why would you take away his best attribute which is finishing and Charnze is a rockstar at the back.

As I said above, he was good enough to be selected as fullback (and captain) for the Kiwis. Can't remember when but someone should know.

 

[Defence]

Walker or Hanson at 6 over Te-Maire Missing.

Zyon Maiu’u to start for 10 to 15 and AFB to come off the bench until the last 10 or 15. Perhaps that will help put a stop to the fecking lulls we go into after 15 minutes.

Big call I know, but if we can't fix the mind set, AFB coming on after 15 with fresh energy might keep a good start rolling. AFB wouldn't appreciate that though.

Just an out the box thought.

Afb to the bench a bit out of the box u reckon? Bro that’s out the farking gate! He’s been our best player.
