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

Hoolioh · Apr 27, 2026

Not too concerned with the team that's picked. Would like to see Fords minutes reduced tho. We need to give Demi more time on the field especially when Fish and Erin are on. Those 2 change the tempo in their second stint and Demi in the mix will be only add to that. Not haiting on Ford just need more quality not quantity.

I can't see a way back for Charnze and Marata.

Injury crisis or suspensions. Or massive drop offs in form and losses.

Perhaps if Demitric started and Ford subbed him and stayed on for the rest of the game.

I think CNK has also played right centre for the Kiwi's. Yes, I can't remember him doing well this year at centre and I would be happy enough with Pompey at right centre if he can play that position. Has Pompey played on the right? I am just keen that Webby doesn't disrupt the left side where RTS and LoFi and building a good partnership and I think Taine should retain fullback.

SO if CNK doesn't play centre, would I have him on the bench? Not sure, as I like TMM as cover but to leave a Kiwi's and Warriors great in CNK out of the team is testament to our depth. I also think Webby tends to favour the returning incumbents, but I hope our two losses have tempered that tendency a little.

Pompey was the guy that swept the ball to Dallin for that try vs Melbourne in 2023, he plays both sides

According to the judiciary report, only CHT got cited and he will get off with a fine. So DWZ and Leka are fine to play it seems:
