TeamList Knights vs Warriors - [Round 9, 2024]

[Worried2Death]

Name me a player that Webster has actually dropped at the Warriors ever.

Bunty? Seemed out of favour by end of last year.

Viliame Vailea?

Viliame Vailea?

I don't know for certain but he hasn't played enough to be dropped. Would his chances have come because of injury and then player recovers and he drops out.

 

[tyrael]

Bunty? Seemed out of favour by end of last year.

I don't consider him being dropped. Neither do I think Ale was dropped. Those are just competition for spots and someone misses out.

Dropped is established player but then plays badly.

 

[Inruin]

Name me a player that Webster has actually dropped at the Warriors ever.

Has he needed to?

 

[tyrael]

Has he needed to?

I think he has definitely needed to this year. You could have argued that Montoya or Pomps needed to be at some points last year.

I was more referencing the "thin nice" comment. No such thing as thin ice if you are never intending to drop anyone.

 

[Wrighty]

Pompey for Sheck

Pompey for Sheck

That's as close as it gets, but I still think that's competition for spots. Pomps never even played this year before RTS took over.

You could say he dropped Curran, albeit out of the club.

He hooked volkman

Yeah I don’t think he was a fan of Josh Curran who looks to be thriving now at the doggies…

Webby really likes the workhorse Ford types, and fair enough. Very much the Ivan Cleary mould

 

[Stalefish540]

To be fair for several weeks Tohu has been in the hard earned team of the week

He’s averaging 153m and 41 tackles at 95% in 2024. Not bad. At all.

We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes - he could be playing injured or been sick?

I have also noticed in the past few years he’s fatiguing at times in games but I think it’s due to his huge workload.

It would be interesting to know if everyone was fit to start the season till now.

Would Tohu be coming off for a break rather than being shuffled into prop as was done last year when Walker would come on?
 
I haven't noticed the Tohu stuff, so maybe haven't been paying enough attention. But he's definitely winding down his career, so 50mins would be the preference to help load manage him. We just haven't unfortunately had that luxury with our middles injuries so far.

Re Curran.. couple of off field indiscretions I think is what sealed his fate. The no dickheads coaching philosophy. Obviously doggies don’t have the same lol

Mate you can't ask 'who's he dropped' then say every example doesn't count

But in all seriousness he has not needed to. Most of those decisions were made for him by way of injury.

Metcalf, TMM, Kosi, DWZ, Bunty all played NSW cup last year.

CHT, Ale, TMM, Pompey this year.

I'm no fan of the issues on our wings but the coach isn't dropping them for a centre to go on the wing
