TeamList Rabbitohs vs Warriors - [Round 5, 2024]

[Boston Boy]

Niukore = huge loss

Especially because there is no Capewah.
Great opportunity for the boys to dig deep and build a strong winners mentality.

[Dannevegas]

Laban in for Lussick surely

 

[Matiunz]

All this fuss about the rain..

Sydney is nothin’ compared to Auckland

Their Storm is equivalent to a light drizzle over here… ️

It’s pissing down here last 2 days with flooding not looking like easing up anytime soon

 

[cero_stars]

Seen a few teams really lift for a game when some of their stars are injured, I expect the same from the warriors.

 

[Zaggo]

I know it isn't his fault but I'm getting seriously pissed off with Niukore seemingly only playing for us every once in a blue moon. Between the injuries and suspensions he's verging on being a flop of a signing.

 

[Tragic]

Yep latest forecast has Sydney clearing by about lunchtime tomorrow, but absolutely buckets of rain between now and then. Either way it will be a wet track.

And a new Jonno is crowned, big shoes to fill but I believe in you Fonz.

For the price yes.

Going to miss Dallin’s kick returns and finishes, hoping Pompey has some starch in his kick returns

RTS & Pompey edge should be defensively stout

Berry & Montoya’s kick chase should be very good

Looks like a clear defensive plan, hoping we have enough to put some points on

Good to get charnze back with those kick returns too

 

[Beastmode]

Bout same as Cleary combined

This sounds evil but knowing Cleary and Reynolds also out makes me feel better …

We won’t lack for effort that’s for sure, our boys have a great attitude to win and we’ve done well thus far with injuries to key players and positional changes. Souths will be licking thier chops now and could either be their undoing or not, who knows. But I’m feeling anxious as now although Im ok with Pomps coming in on the right with a great centre inside him. But that bench is concerning. Hey….Im sure Webby knows what he’s doing so the boys have to stick to the game plan and execute both ends of the field. Just keep it simple boys….I don’t care if we win by one point. Just win.

That’s not evil bro, thats normal….its not like we wish any serious harm on them.

They’re just chilling in the stands.

I feel great about it

 

[Lets Eat (YeahNah)]

Although the injuries are news to us, webs and team have had all week to prepare mentally strategically and physically

Left side looks solid on D yes pomp’s loses some speed but has a bit of bulk

Berry to set up Marcelo

Kick corners and strong chase doesn’t change

Bench needs horse power

I feel great about it

I wish them a speedy recovery and hope to see them back next season !!!!

 

[Beastmode]

Just confirming yes it’s wet in Sydney

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Damn, No Dwz & Marata. Oh well, As long as we have the speed demons Montoya & Pompey on the wings we've got this.

 

[Lance155]

Farrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkk (off Pompey)

 

[Pop Dukez]

I wish them a speedy recovery and hope to see them back next season !!!!

For sure man, they’ll be back!

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Ratshit for Niukore, really gutted about that.
To be fair, the bloke played 22 games for us last year so he has a pretty good year injury/suspension wise. But yeah this fresh injury sucks for sure.

I mentioned injuries a week ago and kinda got shot down as other teams being worse off etc. And while that's true...faaaark man we've had some significant injuries.

Dyl Walker - 1 from 5 games this year.
Metcalf - 3 and a bit games, likely done for the year.
Charnz - 0 from 4 currently.
Marata - likely 2 of the first 14 games.
Wade - Always injured lol.

Capewell, DWZ, Tuaupiki all out for at least a game each too.

Really, really hard to build momentum when you're having 3 or 4 of your top players out each week.

Isn’t it expected most teams will have 1 or 2 starting players out most weeks?

Just part of the game that needs to be managed with depth in the squad really important.
