Team List NZ Warriors v Newcastle Knights - [Round 3, 2026]

[The Undertaker]

Has Adam had his baby yet? Named but if no baby yet unlikely to travel.

I’m expecting Halasima to centre alongside Ali, Gannon to start protecting Hanson in second row, Mitch onto bench with Marata and AKP completing the 6 man rotation. Gannon to debut as well.

Based on Pompey not making the trip…

I believe AKP was training in the centres during pre-season so would rather either him or RTS there over Leka

This'll be a challenge

2 unbeaten teams, our first away game. Both teams missing their starting half and fullback.

I rate our pack and bench to get over theirs.

Oddily enough tho if u had told me a few months back i should feel confident going into a match with a spine containing Taine, Tannah Boyd, and Luke Hansen......i wouldve said u were nuts.....yet somehow i do.

I suspect spot 19 is for Barney.

I was under the impression that the Warriors had retired the number 19 jersey for the Mad Butcher. I love the sentiment but it makes Team List Tuesday annoying as hell.

their starters are ok (JSaf and Mooney who has been good). It's just their bench is not great. I suspect that they will try to ambush us in the beginning with the parochial crowd behind them. I wouldn't be surprised if the game starts off like that Manly vs Raiders game where the away team (us) gets shafted by ref at the beginning. So if we can hold our own during that start, I suspect we will start to dominate after their bench and ours comes on after the 20-25 minute mark. That's around the pt when the game turned against the Raiders and when we pulled away from the Chooks.

I would think Leka to center and Gannon into back row in that case.

So good! Go and kill it Lukecan’t wait to see him debut on Saturday!

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Loving that back row

Interesting, didn't think CNK when he was being called off would be a CAT1 as he seemed a bit filthy about it all.

Seemed like one of those janky ones where they make you come off when you think you are completely fine. Didn't really even see a reply to know when it happened.

Yeah it was a pretty innocuous one but looking at the replay it could've been when he went low on a Timoko tackle in the 64th minute or maybe the hitup in the following set - looks like maybe Hosking or Martin may have been a bit high.

I'm also in the not sure about Hanson boat but after Tanah and Fordy's miraculous makeovers I'm weirdly confident. Mostly because I can't remember who is who out of our halves

Retired for Mad Butcher. NRL has just forgotten and displayed it incorrectly. Warriors dont name anyone in the 19th jersey.

Look at our prior team lists. For example prior games we have named players from 1-18, missed 19 (Mad Butcher), and then continued from 20 onwards. Previously the NRL had gotten it right and didnt leave a space for the 19th person. NRL intern prob didnt get the message and used a quick template.

AKP currently is the last person on the 6 man bench in the 20th jersey.

Ok. I watched this and now I'm on the Hanson train.

Fletcher Sharpe is the best player at the Knights, better than Ponga and Brown.
Fletcher Hunt looks pretty decent.
Smith and Crossland more than serviceable.
Decent centres and wings.
Just relentlessly wear them down in the middle and Barnett will add to that.

I don't know what you been smoking. He's got potential but better than those two? Unmm. Sounds emotional.

 

[WAH MAN]

Congratulations to Luke Hanson on his debut.
I have some doubts about him but he has earnt his call up and it up to him to prove me wrong.

His hair reminds me of Jeff Robson. That's what I held against him. But after seeing Webby announce his debut was cool and instantly added to my understanding of his story.

Makes me wanna buy more merchandise Good on Hanson. Thoroughly deserves his shot. I've been waiting for about 3 years to see what he's truly made of. Hope he gets a decent crack. Probably shitting his pants right now. Nobody wants to be the weakest link right now I'm sure. If we somehow lose, he'll be the low-hanging fruit for critics.

Good luck blondie!

Just weed but not before refereeing on a Saturday.
Anyway seriously, he has been their best player from the get go.
The most likely to create or score a try.
He is consistently top quality.
He worries me this week more than the other two would have.
