I'm all for the RTS/AKP combo to continue but something to take into consideration is that that combo has been lucky enough to have CHT inside them on both occassions where as Pompey/RTS have 89 minutes alongside CHT. Also, AKP's finishing is on another level to RTS so Roger is highly unlikely to have scored had he been in the same situation as AKP's second try last SaturdayAKP scored more in 2 games on the wing outside roger, than roger has all season outside of pompey.
I know that, I mean once we had it moved to NZ. Honestly any team would build over timeBecause the Storm refused to share it. That would have been the reasonable thing to do.
What club would be a good replacement fixture?
Our left scored against the chooks round one.i think Pompey is a great club man, generally reliable and rarely lets the team down, pre-suspension he wasnt setting the world on fire and we had 2 bad losses in a row.. i think it is totally reasonable that he doesnt come straight back in. AKP scored more in 2 games on the wing outside roger, than roger has all season outside of pompey.

Chitty got two in combination with Roger. Roger caught one in traffic and offloaded to Capewah who in turn got it to........... Pompey who stepped Nawaqanitawase to score. On that same left side Tanah got the first try of the season. Chitty out Capewah through untouched.
Game two. On the left. Leka got two. Pompey was outside him.
I'm not saying that I demand Pompey back but it's not like he's cost us repeatedly. Just the jersey grab against Broncos and the sinbin that got him in prison.
Still I can remember his side step followed by another as he scored against tigers after Fish offload. He's not all errors and greedy with the ball. He's made some great offloads in traffic for Dallin too. But yeahThere was the raiders game in front of kicker that lost us the HT lead and this year tackling the winger who caught the ball on the full in goal then they scored 3 in a row
It’s like an annual event of Pompey brain fart![]()

They have also been unlucky.....Hurrell and Laumape would for sure be our most talented young centre duo.....it didn't work out for different reasons but damn in terms of pure talent coming through at the same time, there's not many better than that.If we run out next year with two serviceable centers sitting in NSW cup I will be finally satisfied that the short sighted Warriors of old are dead and buried.
Center is as we all know the most important defensive position in a rugby league team when full width attack is launched against you - these guys are the freaking Knights on a Chess board.
It shits me that this club hasn't understood that fundamental of this sport since Dean Bell.
The thing that really shits me, is that there are two of them! the maths is really straight forward, you need four players to cover those two spots - and if you respect and understand the role of a center (my real gripe with Warrior mindedness) then you bloody well have two genuine top centers with two tradesmen in reserve at all times!
If I get what I want, we would have Ali Leiatua sorted for one slot, the club would sign another exciting Junior on the cusp Center, and we would see Pompey and Anderson as their cover.
This is why I wasn't bummed out when we signed Anderson, because we need an Anderson plus one strategy - not no Anderson and window shopping for birds in the bush.
I saw him goal kick.....doesn't he have 100% success rate or something crazy like that?Has anyone seen RTS kick though, he might miss the ball entirely and the other team pick up and score![]()
No Gee and Badger, yay
I saw him goal kick.....doesn't he have 100% success rate or something crazy like that?
Agreed. A home game in Wellington against the Dolphins every ANZAC Day would be specialWhy have we not set up a ANZAC day rival team? Storm have moved to make the Bunnies their annual clash . Moving it round the country and chopping and changing teams makes it feel less special I reckon.

Leka has been huge in that regard the last couple of weeks. He is pushing out really hard. It takes some of the energy away from his offensive game but the defensive line looks so stableFor many years we have had shocking edge defense, the last few weeks have been so nice not having the feeling of doom as soon as someone goes wide against us. A lot of messaging coming out about how it's the benefit of inside pressure and drifting across.
Could this be the real hidden gem behind Leka and Laban with their high fitness levels and mobility?
The beauty of that scenario is that we have attacking options on the right through Boyd, Leiataua, Laban (Niukore lead runner), Dallin.Leka has been huge in that regard the last couple of weeks.
