Gameday Preseason 2025 Trial 1 - Warriors vs Sharks

[KPWarrior]

Few cobwebs blown out, plenty to work on.

 

[Po11um]

Warriors won't make the top8 on that performance

 

[Tookey 2.0]

The impact off the bench of Walker and Sifakula is something I'm going to really look forward to. Deffo changed momentum. Bet Jazz is gutted Dyls replaced him so quickly haha.

Healy looked good too, and I reckon someone like Niukore off the bench too, that's quite some punch

Demitric Vaimauga my boy!

Healey looks NRL Ready!

 

[Defence]

He literally is that player from park footy who by some miracle got a Warriors trial and made the squad.

He is you and me bro, all the dreamers who never made it, Ed Kosi is that guy and the only reason he is there is that he has insane speed for the amount of beef he is packing, otherwise he would never be picked by any NRL club,

He is a gamble a long shot, a nobody that happens to be huge and quick. And unlike Manu Vatuvei, this guy was no rising star in Juniors in the Auckland comp, this guy was not on any agents radar.

As such, whether the Warriors are right or wrong about their Ed Kosi association, they are at least rolling the dice on the roughest diamond the Warriors system has ever gambled on.

Sorry mate but Ive never been able to see it - kosi’s a big kid and tries hard but just doesn’t have it- they should cut their loses and try get him a super league deal.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Not that impressed with Laban, but TBH Capewell was poor too

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

So happy Demitric Vaimauga has shed some kegs! He's ready for bigger minutes.

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

Finally, footy season is back....

Feels good, man

 

[snake77]

AFB will struggle with this roll ball rulings

Judging by tonight he might be alright. He won't be wearing a Warriors jersey.

The ones that got pulled up were fair enough. But when your side gets pulled up its natural to watch the opposition. After our first two the Sharks got away with quite a few. Commentators saying the officials are looking out for it made me laugh. Otherwise there would have been a lot pulled up.

 

[sup42]

12 all final score?

Not sure how truthful the stats are but fuck me they look grim for capewell. 21 tackles, 6 missed, 1 ineffective, 1 error and 1 inside the 10.

Why isn't it back to the rule that you must play it with your foot. None of this in between bullshit

A lot of discussion over the off season about how other teams players have shed some weight. He's back to a similar looking build that he was before his knee injury. He looks in good nick.

He had some good touches. Especially the offload for the try. It was good that we played some footy in their 20 instead of being stuck to the structures.

He also had some good passes in the middle of the field.

I cant figure why hes so weak. Arm grabs, bouncing off his tackles, poor contact... Its bizarre

 

[The Warrior Waka]

The most disappointing thing for me wasn't Kosi, That's everyone's choice lol. Fish was a major let down for me. No hard menacing runs at all. A bunch of tackles then rested. And capewell was as bad.

Charnze was solid too I thought.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Charnze was solid too I thought.

I thought the same. His engine is huge!

 

[Barzak]

Charnze was solid too I thought.

100% Cnk did what he does, he played well. Didn’t wanna run through the whole team though lol.
