TEAM LIST


​

This is your NZWF thread for discussion on this weeks official NZ Warriors team list. Team list will be posted as soon as its released by the club.

This thread will be closed without warning once the GAME DAY thread opens 7am NZST on the day of the match...

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Are the teams named today?

 

[tajhay]

Are the teams named today?

yep

 

[roguei]

Judging by this interview with webby today. Even if the team list is out, we are still undecided on the last bench spot. So that could change at anytime.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he names Kosi and he makes a late switch for Taine again

I will have to bet on the Raiders if Kosi plays!

Do we take that as Webby speak for that last bench spot will see minimal if any game time?

My rose coloured glasses are permanently on. I could never!

It would be pretty odd to pick kosi for wing and not let him get a practice game in vs the melbourne B team. Even weirder to pick him and then drop him before the match when they've said all positions outside of one bench slot is comfirmed.
IMO they are still debating over playing a pure hooker at 17. Egan played 20 games last year, 9 of which he played 80+ mins. So looks like this confused them last year as well.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Do we think TMM or CHT for 6?

I'd prefer TMM personally but I feel they'll go with CHT

Preface i'd personally much rather see CHT at 6 but TMM at 1.

Vibe in the forum says CHT at 6. History says TMM at 6, CHT at 17 (can cover a lot of positions although unlike lussick cannot cover prop). Healey at 18th.

We could name an inflatable toy on the bench to throw the Raiders camp into disarray.

CHT at 6 for me for at least 6-8 games before making a change ( if required)

 

[tajhay]

Yep CHT at 6 for me as well unless we want to play with 12 players on the field.

Also believe Webster will keep CNK at 1.

Hopefully Tuaupiki at wing.

 

[WA Warrior]

CHT at 6 for me for at least 6-8 games before making a change ( if required)

Whatever Webby decides to go for in the halves I think that time frame has to be given to them to give them a real crack.
But I hope he pulls the trigger after that if it’s not working.

 

[WA Warrior]

TLT I have missed you Ma Fukka

 

[WarriorsForever]

Sports nation NZ'S Mark Stafford is expecting TMM to be named at FB with CNK at center.

Don't know how credible this is but will find out soon i guess. Pompey could still be underdone by his hand injury

 

[marv.]

are they naming the team at 5pm Tuesday - Vegas time this week or something kooky?

Only way that happens is if Pompey is out
