Raiders vs Warriors - [Round 20, 2024]
TEAM LIST
Friday 19th July 10pm NZST GIO Stadium

​

This is your NZWF thread for discussion on this weeks official NZ Warriors team list. Team list will be posted as soon as its released by the club.

This thread will be closed without warning once the GAME DAY thread opens 7am NZST on the day of the match...

 

[Jonesy69]

Taine in for CNK
Ali in at right centre with RTS shifting to left wing for Montoya.
Team virtually remains the same as vs the dogs.

 

[tyrael]

I love this team list!!!! For once!!!

 

[Jonesy69]

Would probably expect Capewell to drop to the bench for Ford. Barney I expect would start provided he gets through tomorrow in one piece, as he’s unlikely to get massive minutes (injury permitting).

 

[Inruin]

Good team. Little concerned with Ali potentially carrying an injury.

Have to ask what MGT has done wrong?

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Hopefully that back 5 can light it up. I think we can get this done

 

[Tohu’s_Knees]

Doubt Capewell will play and I’d put Mitch on the bench.
Bunty and Ford to start for me.

 

[Canonball]

good list

 

[Noitall]

Doubt Capewell will play and I’d put Mitch on the bench.
Bunty and Ford to start for me.

With Bunty, Ale and Laban on the extended bench, there’s a few scenarios that could change by game day around Barnett and Capewell

 

[Dlenai]

finally an exciting team list, hopefully Ali is cleared to play. Love seeing Leka rewarded with a spot again!

 

[Wrighty]

What is Ali's injury?

 

[Naynay]

I don’t think MGT has done anything wrong but likely if Ali is fit he is preferred going into the future, would expect a center pairing of berry and Ali

 

[The Warrior Waka]

What is Ali's injury?

He was limping in a cup game 2 weeks ago after being tackled. Didn't look to crash hot for the rest of the game. Mustn't of been to serious if hes good to go this week. 1 game back from Injury tho. I'd prefer MTG.

 

[Defence]

That backlines a bit of a hot mess tbh- no established combinations anywhere- hopefully they gel quickly.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Ed Kosi is in the extended bench. That really is some psychotic coaching. Our bench seems a tad travel size

Hot as in exciting.
Our halves stay the same.
Taine provides stability at the back and a wide range of subtle skills.
Ali and Pompey are tall and rangy and can pop a good ball.
DWZ and RTS to run amok with space.

Auto correct strikes again? what were you actually wanting to say?

I think he means small. Like you travel light, need small bag.

Tevaga and Ford being the props.

Dont have a problem with them as individuals but as a collective they dont give me a lot of confidence.
The fowards look good as usual.

What is Ali's injury?

From Warriors site 2 weeks ago:

"Centre Ali Leiataua was cleared to return to action this week after recovering from an ankle injury.

Leiataua picked up the injury early in the Magic Round victory over Penrith at Suncorp Stadium on May 19.

He made his comeback with the club's New South Wales Cup side in Saturday's match against Canterbury Bankstown."
