Pick Your Team NZ Warriors v Parramatta Eels - [Round 9, 2026]

[Naynay]

Ali will only be out if it was a Cat 1 or he failed an HIA. Did either of those happen?

Webster did say Ali and Barney won’t play next week. Hopefully just pompey and EIT in, Laban to start and Leka to the bench for a bit of a rest

[Canadian_Warriors_Fan]

Is CHT out next week.

At this stage no, both Ali and Mitch are on the injured list already. Could change obviously.

 

[juju]

Ali and Barnett were textbook Cat 1

He is auto pick.

TMM should come back via Cup as should Metcalf.
If its good enough for senior player Pomps its good enough for those 2..

 

[Cces]

I'd love to see Capewell & Halasima switch sides. I've harped on enough about Leka's left arm carry but our left edge seems to have a calmer energy. Getting Leka away from DWZ's theatrics & bitching at the ref's might be useful. Capewell is useful on the right too. Set up a great try there for Metcalf last season

 

[kos]

Cces are RTS and pomps able to play well on both sides of the field.

 

[timburgesstheonlyoneiknow]

With the protocols of HIA the clubs need depth. Warriors are in a good position they can potentially rotate a couple of players in quite easily.

Surely Metcalfe and TMM will have to play NSW Cup for a few weeks to game some game time.

Cces are RTS and pomps able to play well on both sides of the field.

Pompey was decent on the right to begin 2023 but got exposed a bit in a 2 game stint there last year. RTS wasn't particularly good in either Centre spot in 2024 so I've no idea what he'd go like on the right currently. I personally wouldn't shift him. CNK might be the wildcard though

I mean no disrespect to Parra but I reckon it would be a good game to have Metcalf injected into the game off the bench in the final 20.

 

[Cces]

Webster has never genuinely picked Tuaupiki over CNK so it'll be intriguing if CNK is available & he does that. No qualms from me if he does but he's more likely to avoid the decision & play CNK at Centre

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Okay this is getting ridiculous!

Gotta love AI

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Apart from Pompey & Nuikore coming in for Barney & Ali. I'd rather start Laban and bring Leka off the pine. The rest of the team as is.

 

[Assyrian-Warrior]

What ever you do webby.. please don’t start metcalfe bring him on from the bench … ease him into fitness
