Gameday NZ Warriors v St George Illawarra Dragons - [Round 12, 2026]

[Damo]

so just messing with the cup team list for fun?

Wouldn't be the first time but I'm only guessing.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Kayliss is playing in cup

Haha yes I was saying that, but hes also listed on the extended bench in first grade currently.

Almost any time someone's started in Cup they dont sit on the bench on FG, so the question is, is Kaylis still on the bench in FG as both he and the reserve (Pomps) are playing in Cup

Also, this weather is pretty horrid it deffo is more of a leveler than I would have guessed earlier.
Likely to be closer than we would have been hoping!

Need to hold the ball and keep it tight, force mistakes from them and convert to points. Don't think we will see much fluid, quick backline plays with this weather

 

[the WARs]

We should WIN 13+ easy ... but Dragons in the wet who knows could be a close one

 

[WAH MAN]

Nek minit. I reckon if it's on, they will let it fly.

 

[rugged]

Hmm so will Kayliss still be on the first team bench.? Does that mean he’ll play a lot less minutes in cup!

 

[sup42]

Im super confident, but the last time I was super confident was the Tigers game and look what happened. That makes me leas confident ....

Onya, I remember.....not that I keep score lol But I do remember that post (must be the cool nic bro).

Think if Ford and Egan were out It would be tough going, but this should be very winnable eh.

You would think that if he was gonna get a run on field that he wouldn't have had his debut muddied by a cup game (he is off his game again today in defence, which is interesting).

Its an interesting one how we handle those 5th and 6th. I mean if we get two HiAs to forwards he's going to be needed and as you say do you really want your debut to be backing up from NSW cup

People complained that the 6 man bench would remove players from all this valuable NSW cup time, but as they are at the same ground the coaches obviously have no intention of using that 6th player, so they have him play the curtain raiser.

Reckon it would have been a good game to give him though, bro probably needs to find a new club if capewell comes back and Neal is promoted

Yeah i dont like it aye. I feel like were tempting fate here and will end up with 2 hia's and then hes forced to play decent minutes after playing 40+ in cup

Injuries (unfortunate fact of life) will give him a path eh, we had years where multiple back rowers were out.

 

[WAH MAN]

Game time soon. Order of priorities:

1. Get the victory
2. No injuries
3. Score enough tries to do heaps of personalised handshakes for this week's socials.
4. Absolutely flog the Dargons.
5. Have an after match function with the Dargons and have an old fashioned piss up.

NSW cup commentator called this game a banana peel game.

Must have gotten the memo that his not allowed to say BANANA SKIN.

Thank goodness for that then phew, almost messed with the juju.

Even losing koro Mitch and koro Capewah we still have experience in koro Roger and koro Soul glow.

Could happen, but they could play Healey at lock or something. Don’t know if Ali has ever played back row in his life but he’s big enough

At a 50th. Everyone says the same, they are nervous about a win. I guess that the warriors!
