TeamList Rabbitohs vs Warriors - [Round 5, 2024]

It will be interesting to see if RTS gets more opportunities outside of TMM. More that he is a different player to Metcalf.

The other concern they are likely watching is DWZ. Hopefully he doesn't get scratched late. I'd like us to be working closer to a full strength side (minus the new Metcalf injury), not the other way.

Good to have CNK back.

Our performances and the coach looking at it as an overall squad means we can probably afford to wait on Walker. In the past he probably would have been rushed back due to the performances on the field and also being reluctant to use anyone else.

Edit: Capewell out due to concussion protocols.

Not the worst thing considering hes playing needled up with that rib injury anyway.

 

[Hitro]

Laban will definitely play I reckon

Good chance. Marata’s not playing 80 or even 60 in the 2nd row and Barnett covering him for 20 or so makes our middle rotation a bit weak

Hoping we get some insight into a bash and crash second rower this week and make it a regular thing. Don't mind who it is.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Could we see Laban push for a debut on the bench to help niukore?

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Do we know if Niukore has bulked up for a bigger role in the front row this year?

Feels very un-Webby like to then chuck him on an edge when it's always kinda been 'next man up', instead of trying to shift players around to plug a hole.

He'll do a job if he starts there but yeah, deffo very interesting having 3 props in Ale, Bunty and Jazz on the bench...who ever mentioned Laban this week could be on the money...

 

[Leon Black]

CHT very stiff, wasn’t all the impressed with TMM in NSW Cup.

Agree Metcalf will be a huge loss.

 

[RTS’s Calves]

Wouldn’t surprise me to see Laban and CHT join the bench before kickoff. Can’t see us playing 3 middles and a hooker on the bench regardless if Barnett shifts to an edge

 

[John Nick]

CHT very stiff, wasn’t all the impressed with TMM in NSW Cup.

Strange how we all evaluate players and games differently. While I agree with you others think tmm was great.
Hopefully he steps up

 

[Dannevegas]

Don’t get Te Maire starting over CHT, even Ben Farr outplayed te Maire on the weekend

 

[Old Sid]

Strange how we all evaluate players and games differently. While I agree with you others think tmm was great.
Hopefully he steps up

Yup. To me he was smooth, in control, confident and had time. A classy display in general helping others shine.

Maxigesic Recovery Report: Two players cleared

Fullbacks Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad and Taine Tuaupiki have both come off injury list.

www.warriors.kiwi

Fullbacks Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad and Taine Tuaupiki both come off the One New Zealand Warriors’ injury list this week.

Tuaupiki was forced to miss a week of football under the NRL’s concussion protocols after he failed his HIA test after a knock during the match against Canberra on March 22.


He has now been cleared to return to action this week.

Nicoll-Klokstad has also been given the green light after dealing with a hamstring injury he picked up in mid-February.

Added to the injury list are Dylan Walker, Kurt Capewell and Luke Metcalf.

Walker has been troubled by an ankle injury which flared up in the second-round match against Melbourne.

He was named for the last two matches against Canberra and Newcastle but has been left out of the squad to face South Sydney. His return date is to be confirmed.

Capewell is standing down this week as he follows the NRL’s concussion protocols after experiencing headaches in the aftermath of last Sunday’s 20-12 win over the Knights.

Metcalf has undergone surgery after breaking the tibia in his right leg following a tackle by Newcastle’s Tyson Frizzell on Sunday. He is expected to return late in the season.

MAXIGESIC RECOVERY REPORT​
Kurt Capewell	Concussion	Rd 6
Leka Halasima	Knee	Rd 7
Luke Metcalf	Leg	Late season
Demitric Sifakula	Knee	Midseason
Dylan Walker	Ankle	TBC

Sounds like Dylans ankle is an old injury that's having issues again so hopefully won't be out too long.

 

[Pop Dukez]

Strange how we all evaluate players and games differently. While I agree with you others think tmm was great.
Hopefully he steps up

He looked good to me, a few shimmy’s and deft passes were apparent. He’s the right man for #6 in this instance…RTS should get some good ball

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

So with Kosi listed is DWZ in doubt? Be nice to see Laban in the 17 come game day. We need to blood these players eventually.

 

[Wrighty]

Wrighty's logic circuits are blown

in the last match CHT was preferred over Lussick for the 14 jersey and it turned out to be a masterstroke
In this match Lussick is preferred over CHT at 14 despite the reverse being a masterstroke in the last match.

Odd one considering no Walker to be a stop gap in the halves. Clearer idea come 24 hours out

 

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

No Alex Johnson is a bonus for us.

Unfortunately we look stronger on paper than Souths, not convinced with our bench mind you, looks light.

Our bench looks manky. Sorry to say that fellow Warriors fans.
Laban must come in for Ale. Laban looks too good for cup when I was watching.
