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

[Ref]

CNK and Marata can do the job for Cup that Kalani, TMM, Boyd, Afoa, Ale et al did last year.

 

[Naynay]

Maybe Kayliss makes the bench, Laban to prop, and TSS is just a smokescreen for KF

Its wild but i actually don’t think its a stretch, not the first time webby has done it

Named cup side is pretty interesting - 1st start for Bishop Neal? Salalilo at lock and Kali on bench - they'll all be traveling with the 1st grade side too of course -- it's kinda dumb speculation but is it possible that we see Neal up sooner rather than later ? He's so freaking young but everything he does has an aura

 

[RobRoyMcCoy]

I am intrigued to see if Dylan Walker is fit to play. He is super dangerous and if he doesn't make the field it will remove a decent percentage of their ball playing in the forwards.

 

[CWC]

Wondering what the go is if Taine goes down, do we:
A - Put LM there

Would be freaking hilarious if it happens

Rename the forum Inception

Unless the Cup team are playing a finals game, I dont see why Bishop either sitting on the bench or getting a 20 stint on the field for a FG debut toward the end of the season. Give him a taste, so that hes absolutely belting guys in 2027 trying to make the team again.

 

[JustLikeStartingOver]

Bit of a weird 14-23 including two hookers and three players returning early from injury.

You look like a fool criticising king cuddle s these days but the warriors sure like rushing a player back.

I concur with the above that game day could see a whole lot of changes ending in LM and Kaylissss included

 

[WAH MAN]

Lo-fi has played 57 games and scored

57 tries. His strike rate before he arrived was 0.8 tries per game. Bloody hell.

He has increased that jaw dropping strike rate in three games here. Yikes. In a good way.

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Has RTS swapped sides or is it just a numbering thing?

He has a good combination going with AKP.

 

[Evil_Mush]

With a bye the following week seems bordering on ridiculous having two injury-returning halves not just get the extra two weeks recovery?

Is there a possibility Tanah and/or Chanel are late outs for whatever reason?

As I posted earlier CHT copped a good whack last week
Might be under a cloud

He needs to do something - his insistence on winning is killing fan engagement!

Webster is responsible for giving dozens of regular posters nothing to talk about the selfish prick.

The length of matchday and post matchday threads on this here site has in general become shorter - and if you'll remember the hacked site, the same had happened there.
Andrew Webster is directly responsible for the drop off of rage and clickbait traffic on this site, which means posters are spending less time on here bitching and moaning which also means any site sponsers aren't getting the view and maybe sales they might well have been expecting.

The return of the chocolate shoulder.

Good to see Volkman getting some game time and beating those mongrels last week. Now come home for a flogging from us.

Yeah, we paid for his shoulder reconstruction so he could continue his career, he owes us, oh, I think 4 missed tackles leading directly to tries should square the ledger...

Im after 12 missed tackles and 12 tries please

He has a good combination going with AKP.

Every week he's named in centre he's on the other side and it hasn't filtered through to everyone yet

 

[Sammyw]

Good lineup, hopefully minimal late changes.
I’d rather TMM and Mets get some minutes under their belt in cup but can complain otherwise. I still have CnK as my preferred 1 when he’s fit. Rog finally playing like the center we wanted him to be in 2024 lol

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Webby team lists are never dull. I can live with this team. I doubt Tafua and Fats will play as they are also listed in the cup side. But the team as named should be able to get the job done. TSS is probably a smokescreen for EIT who isn't named in cup. The Eels are the worst defensive side through the middle, so it's clear how we win this one.

I always get confused with our center numbering. The numbers imply Pompey is on AKP's side but I suspect he will be paired with DWZ. Don't know how many reps Pompey has had there: he's always been paired up with RTS. I love Pomps but he does have a kosi-eque game in him. Quite nervous about that with Fox on that edge.

 

[Ryno 2.0]

For the ones in the know, how ready is Tafua for a first grade debut?

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Agree, but Pompey is typically a right centre. They both normally play on the same side so who’s is switching?

 

[Brightman]

When did Marata have concussion?

Immediately after signing with Newcastle..

Wonder if Kayliss plays centre and second row, we've got plenty of second rowers named..

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

This team, again, will suffice.
