TeamList Sharks vs Warriors - [Round 26, 2024]

[Christchurch_Warrior]

5 guesses who the ref is.

Klein-no
Sutton-no
Gee-no
Atkins-no, but he can do the bunker
Butler-why not he has only ref’d the Wahs 5 times so far this year!!!!

Butler has been a NRL Ref since 2014. In that time we have had a win rate of 42% (Regular season only calculated) but with him it is 28.6%.

 

[Wrighty]

The best thing could possibly happen on saturday is the CNK looks a revelation at centre and it dawns on Webster that is where I will play him next year.

 

[Wrighty]

The following post I predict I will get a like from CCES

At full back a lot of CNKs sweep play coordination/injection into the line is on the right edge and he has connected with Dallin a number of times for try time
This Saturday he lines up at right centre to partner Dallin

 

[Worried2Death]

I like this backline

Doesn't exactly fill me with confidence when I see who they're up against, but hopefully Charnze and Taine can add some attack on that right edge.

 

[Ref]

TT and Ali gives us some much needed flair in the outside backs.
CNK will suit us at centre this week.
I wonder if Ale has played too many first grade games to play NSW Cup finals. Hope Halasima and Sifakula haven’t.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

1. Taine Tuaupiki
2. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
3. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad
4. Ali Leiataua
5. Marcelo Montoya

I really hope these guys have a great game. For various reasons. But if these guys can click, it might give us a real chance next year. I know I'm a hard taskmaster, but giving the boys something to work towards while also showing Webby to think outside his constrained box can pay off, I think will do wonders.

Good luck to the boys

 

[Hman]

Unfortunately it's forced by injuries rather than listening

Injury forced teams have done well for us this season. It’s when we go back to status quo that we fall off the pace again

 

[JaggedJ]

Thought for sure we were going to see Kosi in there somewhere. Picking he's moved along before the start of next year.

Always good to see TT get another go. Hope he lasts the whole game and kills it.

Thursday

 

[Warriorshopeful]

Late game 9 35pm hope the boys are up for it be nice to get a win to finish off the season.

 

[WahsaurusRex]

Thats the worry with Taine. How many games has he started at FB and actually finished? Hoping he has a good game and CNK also does well at Centre.

He played two full games of 80 and then went off for HIAs in his other three this year. With his size it's always going to be a worry, I guess.

Semi-related, but for just injuries to the backline in general, we have had backs miss 580-odd total minutes this year.

So more than 7 full games where we have been down a player in jersey 1-7

 

[Falcon]

If Egan throws another short crash ball to Nuikore 3 metres out from the opp try line with 4 defenders about to smash him … I’ll put him on report myself!

 

[SJ’s on Fire]

SJ on his podcast shared it’s “very much up in the air” if he’s playing. Can see him being content with finishing it up with that last game at home, despite the result.

CHT x Lukey Met combo could be on the cards

 

[Beastmode]

Just no.
How many times does Webby need to see CHT playing in the halves to realise he’s not a half??? give someone else a go. Anyone?!

Metcalf 7
CNK 6
Centers - Ali & MGT

Or just try something different for once rather than repeating this same
Mistakes over over over again ..

CHT has gone well at 6 for the most part. High winning percentage there this season.

If SJ is out I wouldn't mind seeing LM at 7 and CHT at 6. Will give a good guide of what to expect with LM at 7 for the future. I suspect it will be fairly evident that 6 is his position moving forward but who knows, he may surprise.

I honestly don’t see that as an 80min pairing that works. Two rookie halves will get schooled by the better teams. You need as least one experienced half to steer the ship.

Was it Brownie that tried RTS in the halves but he only lasted 20mins before injuring himself against Penrith?

I would throw mr fix it Dylan Walker next to LM and experiment with someone new at 13.

Last game of the season. Just try something new and mix it up.

yeah....na.

Walker has been tried there before. No thanks again.

LM is talked up about being a 7. Time to find out what he currently looks like in that role, even if its for one game.

SJ may still play for the game. May also only last half a game too and we get LM and CHT for half a game.

Metcalf is only a 6.
Definitely not a 7

CHT isn’t a 7 either.

Don't know who is talking about Metcalf being a 7 because his best position is undoubtedly 6
