Team List NZ Warriors v Melbourne Storm - [Round 6, 2026]

[KPWarrior]

Here it is guys, enemy territory!
I'm here for Barnsey tonight, and tomorrow we're across the road.

no sign of the fkn moon yet!

 

[CWC]

If Healey’s starting might be better to have TT as 14 and shift CNK to 6 and CHT hooker to change up our attack for 15min

 

[JaggedJ]

CNK out tomorrow

Leka/Ali our centres, AKP on the bench.

Egan still named

 

[BlackToko88]

Is niukore up against chan or clarke?

 

[snake77]

I have seen Haleys comet.

Hopefully, you live long enough to see it again. 2061 is the next time it comes around.

 

[Dannevegas]

Team list looking a bit better. AKP in for Roger and we’ll win

 

[roguei]

I'd rather EIT or Gannon starting over Niukore. I really don't want to see him against a fresh storm spine nor at the end of the game tried when he is subbed back on.

 

[snake77]

We used to be the Storm's bogey team. Man, that was a long time ago. A long losing streak now.

All of the changes are a worry. A lot of new combinations on defense which has already been shakey the last few weeks. We have been talking the next man up mantra. Time to put it into action.

Games like the Tigers game where our confidence is high and faulter are a worry. We have had some unexpected wins over the years when we have a weakened side.

Hopefully, we can keep in the contest and their issues from the last few weeks come out.

One bonus if we are up coming into the last few minutes Coates isn't playing.

Not a fan of Leka at centre. Rather RTS there and AKP to wing. Not even sure Roger knows how to play centre anymore either

And just saw Grant Atkins is the ref. He’s an absolute f’wit. We’re no chance

Time to break the streak

Not a fan either. We still struggle to use him at second row.
But I remember Roger’s first game back at centre in a trial, Channel just gave him heaps of early ball and Face balls.
Hopefully Leka gets the same, get shape around him or just heaps of early ball, he’ll be a handful if so. I probably trust his defence at centre more than the actual centres as well.

Feeling optimistic about this one.
