Paul Turner wasn't an option for the wing ahead of Beale for some more FG experience? I don't know, just asking, I guess playing a young player in a tonne of different positions early in their career can sometimes bite ya on the as$ as well. Just thought he would easily offer more than Beale offensively andbe more of a weapon out side Hiku.

Does Beale offer more defensively for what is a big game, possibly defining whether or not the warriors have any chance going forward? i personally think its to late to over come the years start and that they will not make the 8 but if there is even the sniff of a shot at it, they have to put the best people on the park over fielding youth for experience

I am happy with this team. It is probably the best we can scrape off the bottom of this often-scraped barrel.
As I say every week, "On paper, they should hammer us..." but every week we show a unity and professionalism that few team are able to match. I am not expecting us to win but I am now at least expecting a good performance.
Dylan Brown is a massive out for them. Katoa and the Eels loanees "on paper" should be similar for us but somehow we seem to be the embodiment of "next man up, do the job...".
If we do win this weekend it will be a belter against the Sharks the following weekend. When is Mad Jack coming back?

We can only name 20 players and are only 6 point under dogs against number 3 on the ladder. I think that sums how how awesome the boys have been these past few weeks. If we had Katoa I'd almost call us an even chance given the hiding the eels took last week and the one we dished out. As it is, it''ll take something special to get a result, but I've felt that way basically every week.
This is one time I'll totally forgive them if they get pumped though.

This is probably going to be quite the opposite to last week.
Grindcore.
If I'm TP i'm saying "Get a penalty in kickable range, unless they look really breakable next set, I don't care, just bloody get the two points. The points aren't going to come often against those guys."
Happy enough with the team. I guess to be pandantic about it, the fact we can't name 21 players doesn't mean we can't name a fit team to play so we can't ask for much more than we're already getting. It's just our tactical options are limited. Of course, if a couple more players fall over, that will affect our ability to name a 17.

Next week I think. Jack said If he is not needed(For the Panthers) He'll come back. Ivan has already said he can return once his suspension is over for the rest of the season as well.

Barring injury Ale etc. will likely not get a game till the 2nd to last or last game depending on where we sit regarding finals chances.
Fergo and Sivo have been horrible defensively for the Eels this season.
I‘m hoping we have the personnel this week to exploit any opportunities.

How he is not in this team ahead of Curran is beyond me. Curran deadset does not look like a professional athlete at all. Shows pretty weak discipline from Curran to put on all that weight when he has the perfect opportunity to get regular game time. I'd be looking to offload Curran before Bunty.
At the very least Ale can cover centre. He played there a number of times in Jersey Flegg. (https://www.warriors.kiwi/news/2018/05/15/isp-and-jersey-flegg-teams-named-for-11th-round)
Then you push out Hayze to wing. Beale is guaranteed to be a non-factor, he's way past it.

He's a second rower.
His speed for his size allows him to defend in the centres if needed, as he's shown he's capable of doing if you've watched him.
Rather that than throwing Beale out there to do fuck all.
He's probably the most versatile player in the squad behind Tohu Harris, I've seen him named anywhere from second row, lock, prop and centre.

I don't think Beale offers much at all personally and would have taken a flyer on the young kid staying with us, not the guy leaving who is considered by both many here and the club as not up to it. But that is just me and it's not a huge deal, certainly am not going to criticize Payten for it given how he's done with the hand he's been given. We shall see come game day.

We'll see what the final 17 is on gameday but I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with a bench of:
22 P Gallen
23 M O'Mealley
24 T Iro
25 B Finch
