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

[Beastmode]

6 weeks in I reckon the pups are due for a break.thinking of Laban and Leka specifically. The mental side to the game week in week out is no joke

 

[sup42]

Rock and a hard place.

Heart say's these blokes will repay Websters faith.

Head say's I have no idea what will happen, but it is likely to be rough.

The best I can hope is that the challenge of playing the Storm brings out one of those games where we lift.

Webster has my 100% support all the same. As do the lads.

 

[Zaggo]

Is Egan injured and Webby foxing?

Would need some serious rejigging if so - CHT to spell Healey and Hanson to cover halves or something along those lines.

 

[Spence]

Interestingly none of the bench/reserves were named in NSW Cup.

 

[Matiunz]

Geez what’s Ali gotta do? Sure he’s not perfect but he had what 1 bad lapse each game vs CNKs multiple per game?

 

[WAH MAN]

Agreed. CNK is showing the signs as well. All we need to do is a bit of squad rotation. Leka and Laban get reduced minutes from the bench. Demetric and Tanner get increases. Ford from the bench. Marata to start and just be a psycho running Ruben Wiki into Soliola then get off and rotate the pups in so they can do the same.

With you there Sup42

If one of CNK/Pompey are ruled out then Ali fills the spot.

If both are ruled out then Ali comes in, RTS moves to centre and AKP to the wing.

If Egan is ruled out it will probably force CHT or Hanson into the bench hooker role with the other at 6. No way Healy can go 80 right now.

Too many variables this early in the week.

Going to be a long week, one of those team naming Tuesdays that doesn't really mean anything till the hour before kick off.

What about EIT in the centres?
What has been doing this year?
Warming the bench seat?
I missed the first three nsw cup games so don’t know if he played there.

Makes it harder for storm to prepare for us too if there are so many uncertainties with the team named. They’ll find out when Pompey learns his fate but a few variables too in where some players will play and the availability of some

Don’t think anyone at the storm cares whether or not Pompey or Charnze are playing. Would probably prefer if they were tbh.

 

[Tragic]

I was in favor of dropping Ali for his defence but given what was served up on that right edge i thought he would have to come back in. Plus we need CNKs yardage from the back.
So Ali must really be on the outer if they are willing to persist with CNK at centre.

You loved me two times there. Don’t be salty because Kali or Norris aren’t getting a run

Adam Pompey lost his hearing and will sit 2 games.

Shame, at least he’ll have some quality time with bubs though.

I believe this is the right call. If he can’t hear, it’ll take the team a couple of weeks to learn sign
