Pick Your Team NZ Warriors v St George Illawarra Dragons - [Round 12, 2026]

I'd argue though that Tigers caught us by surprise. Didn't see that one coming.

More the mass changes to the winning team (Metcalf and CNK to centers) imo than taking the tigers lightly. Threw the entire team balance off- not just on attack but also on defense for 2 weeks. Metcalf issue aside, the CNK to center experiment for me was the bigger problem in those games.

Yep, I loved CNKs effort areas but Ali, RTS and Pompey are all ahead of CNK in the centres for me. Taine has also snuck ahead at fullback.

There's also Berry coming back next week. I'd even prefer old man Capes at center. CNK is either FB or not in the team. When asked about our most dangerous player in a fan forum during magic round, Cam Munster actually pointed to Taine. So I think we pull the trigger long term on Taine.

NRL 360 also said we were not allowed to do the pop up store, and were fined $10k per day for doing it. But we did it anyway, Mohawk is no idiot, he just turned $50k investment into $500k!

Edit:

Obviously there would have been other costs involved, but surely the profit on $500k of sales less fines, store costs, merchandise wholesale costs, staffing etc etc etc would still clear $300k

Not bad for 5 days work

More than a few league pundits on the other side of the ditch think this is the Dragon's best chance for a win this month. It's almost as if the first 11 rounds of the comp didn't happen and this isn't 17th vs 2nd. They really do look for a reason to tip against us don't they?

It's tough to back up from big occasions, like Magic round and to their credit, the Dargs really aimed up against the Panthers.

I think we'll be fine.
