Gameday Dragons vs Warriors - [Round 7, 2024]

[WahsUltras]

I assume that that's the team list and also the team to run into the field. Can you do last minute changes?

Has anyone heard anything?

1 hour before kickoff team lists are finalized

1 hour before kickoff team lists are finalized

I rely on this forum for that update lol.

Boy this is the first time in years I have no nerves, no fear of the opposition (apart from last years dead rubber against the Dolphins).

I never say this, but I feel as though we are going to go out there and wipe the floor with the Dragons.

Obviously injury and Ref willing.

But I get the feeling we have been waiting for an opportunity to cut lose and it will be this round. I just think the senior players looking at their bench will go that little bit more to look after all the young boys.

My issue about all of this malarkey with RTS is that we were told early after he was coming back- he's a centre now and he needs time to grow in to that role.

With CNK missing out for the first 4 rds RTS was overlooked because he was a centre, yet now we're looking at putting him on the wing?! Doesn't make sense to me.

Roger's also made a bunch of unforced and uncharacteristic errors in the opening 6 rounds and at times has been a massive momentum killer, so for me either do one of two things:

1. Say that Rog is a centre and play him there all year, and let him develop there
Or
2. Shift Rog around where it suits the team, but let him play fb if CNK isn't there as he's our 2nd choice fb

If Roger plays wing tonight, that will be 3.5 games at center, 2 games at wing and 1.5 at fb - too much fucking around and no consistency, which is what he really needs imo

If we had the luxury of being injury free them I'm sure Roger would have played mostly centre where he's been training for but our injury stocks are shit atm.
Having an elite player who can play multiple positions like him is a blessing,
Errors will get less, hell even CHT our other mr fix it is injured now.

We should be OK as long as we turn up with the right attitude.
Had a couple of beers and I have a bottle of wine for the start of the game.
PINOT WAH.

Jüst having me first beer now.

Foods in the fridge, cold meat sandwiches tonight, picnic style.

Yeah I'm more talking about unnecessary changes. He was named at centre this week, I don't know many teams who would then move a centre to accommodate someone on the bench.

But either way, in Webby we trust

I'm in Sydney for work this week.
6pm kick offs suck.
6pm kick offs in Woolongong really suck.
Trying my best to angle for a 4pm finish but

I made the 4.15pm train
Should get to Woolongong at 5.52pm then a 6 min Uber to Win Stadium in time to hear kick off from outside the gates

We better win. I don't know how shit the return trip is yet

Cloudy and a bit cold according to various weather websites, some chance of rain but shouldn't be until later in evening.

Still at $1.41 at Sportsbet so no drastic changes imminent I suspect.

 

[WahsUltras]

Late mail:
Paul Roache replaces Ali on the bench. Zyon Maiu’u named as 18th man?
Nu brown in for the drags.
