The Warriors forum is buzzing with discussion about team selections for the upcoming match against the Tigers, particularly in light of a potential injury to RTS. Many fans, including sydneywarrior92 #38, advocate for resting RTS as a precaution, suggesting bringing in Berry and shifting Pompey to the wing to maintain existing combinations. Concerns around relying on Harper or Kosi are prevalent, fans like Playdaball #48 sydneywarrior92 #59 expressing strong reservations about their inclusion. Recent discussions highlight the importance of a settled lineup moving into the game, with injuries forcing team members to play different positions, as noted by Tookey 2.0 #34.
Debates have emerged regarding the fullback position, with some suggesting TMM should take over to inject more playmaking ability, as suggested by Dannevegas #62, though Inruin #63 questions his suitability based on preseason performance. There's also discussion around CNK's value, even after his strong performance, Makasene #99 pointing out potential limitations in his attacking threat and expressing reservations about his try assists. This has sparked discussion about the long-term fullback solution, weighing the strengths of CNK versus Taine Tuaupiki, as explored by Makasene #110 and others.
The forum also touches on the team's forward pack and overall game plan. Some, like wizard of Tauranga #100, worry about the sustainability of their physical style and the potential for increased injury risk. However, others, including sydneywarrior92 #102, argue that the team's physicality is a strength and that injuries are an inherent part of the game. The odds for the game have also been a topic, with Tookey 2.0 #83 noting the odds are surprisingly in the Tigers' favor despite the Warriors' recent strong performances. sydneywarrior92 #86 suggests this could be due to media narratives favoring the Tigers.

Pretty clear that Harper was signed because the club realise we are thin on outside backs in an injury scenario.
Also pretty clear that the club did the maths and worked out that a cheap Harper option for all his faults cannot be worse than their Kosi experiment which was trialled to the enth degree and failed this season.
The signing of Harper was the death knell in Kosi's NRL future.
I don't think Lussick is playing in the backs?The unfortunate thing for the Warriors is that at least three team members of the top 30 ( or 28) are not up to playing first grade, IMO these being:
Kosi
Harper
Lussick
Evidence can be seen with fans not picking these players to replace our current wingers, instead looking to include centres to play wing.
True, a slight mishap there .I don't think Lussick is playing in the backs?
You're lucky to be able to listen to some of that awesome Aussie commentary.
Yeah sam is full tit eh him and Blake go well together.SENZ radio commentary is good with Sam and Blake.
Only been home games so far, and thought because the vegas game is special thats why there was no ACC commentary. But is that still going or have they now cut that from sky?You're lucky to be able to listen to some of that awesome Aussie commentary.
