Pick Your Team 2018 Rnd 20 - Titans vs Warriors

After the Round 19 game against the Melbourne Storm at Mt Smart Stadium do you want to see any changes for the Round 20 game against the Gold Coast Titans at Cbus Super Stadium?

Promotions?
Demotions?
Any new injury concerns?
Any returning players?
Any tweaks to the bench?

Discuss...

Jazz Tevaga left right out.

 

[wallacenz]

whats happening with Ligi Sao? Why can he not get a call up?

Has anyone got any insights into this,

the current injury list looks a little out of date

i was really happy to see Beale get his pace back, been too long since we had centers with some toe off the mark.

Some very good reads on defence from Beale too...I am really looking forward to what he can do with Tohu Harris back whenever that happens.

Pulu looked like a player coming off a long lay off. I don't mind if they give him another week in ISP.

If we are going to give Isaac a rest this is that game....hell go with Lawton and Jazz if needs be,

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
Maumalo
Kata
Beale
Fusitua
Green/Lawton
Johnson
Paasi
Luke/Lawton
Afoa
Sao
Papaili
Blair

Lawton
Pulu
Mannering
Satae

Gavet needs to be dropped. He is lacking effort and Im sick of seeing him keeled over with his hands on his hips all the time

Beale has played his way into a permanent spot. I still like Hiku after watching Kata tonight.

Don't know if you saw the ISP game ?

Sao was a monster in a shit team.

I haven't watched them for a while. Is everybody else catching up on the fitness levels or what?

I feel sorry for their coach....we keep showing worrying ill discipline and getting penalized (deservedly) out of the game.

I suspect Brian Smith will ask them to change coaches next year,...he has lost the dressing room.

He never brings that form into first grade.. don't forget he looks good in reserve grade because he plays against other reserve grade forwards. It's not apples to apples.

Tevaga is a workhorse but his role should not be to come on and play as a forward. I don't mind him making a cameo to chop down big forwards in the middle. Doubt he's going anywhere with Kearney picking the team.

Same team until both Pulu and Tohu Harris fit to play first grade.

I'd be open to switching Kata out for Hiku.

As I posted in the other thread:

Our run home is

Titans - should hopefully win
Dragons - 50/50 chance
Knights - should win
Bulldogs - should win - but will be difficult
Panther 50/50
Raiders - 50/50

We simply must beat the Titans/ Knights/and Bulldogs to secure our top eight spot. We need our best team in the field for these three matches and I would be tempted to play guys who have a niggle.

Going into the Melbourne match today it wasn't really a loss I was really fearing it was injuries. So if Luke pulls up ok then I will be happy.

 

[wrighty]

Please roll over for us Titans and don't play with passion or pride.

 

[95 'til infinity]

Tevaga has no business being at dummy half.

 

[jonno]

Kearney picking Jazz over Sao must be to send a message that professionalism is more important than talent.

Nobody walks into Kearneys team. They all have to earn it the hard way, or they GTFO.

 

[JBmurc]

If kata is playing can we have him playing on the wing when on the attack ...I could just imagine Big Ken causing more damage with the ball earlier then if Kata can get one on one he can do what he does best and get his white line fever

 

[jonno]

Warriors backs seriously need to do some passing drills. They are always out of formation whenever there's a opening.

Must be ball breaking for the forwards watching them fuck that shit up year after year.

It would be ideal if we could run up the score on the Titans to help with the points differential.

 

[Te Aro]

Bulldogs - should win - but will be difficult

That should be the easiest game, even the Eels beat them.

 

[wrighty]

Eels are on the rise and may avoid the wooden spoon. The Dogs have some BIG BIG BIG men in their forwards but quite possibly the worst halves going around in the comp. If we strike a night where they get a massive roll on up front then it could be another Penrith match all over again. I mean they have Klemmer for one and he is still putting in big shifts. Out of the the three easy games, the dogs will be the hardest which is why we must beat the Titans. All hands on deck for it. Our first must win game of the year.
