Team List Tigers vs Warriors - [Round 4, 2025]

[WA Warrior]

You do realise it’s a promotion right?

Erin started, then the better player in Walker comes off the bench and replaces him.

And on top of that Erin doesn’t play 80, so we lose absolutely nothing. We just move his output to the 20min mark.

It’s exactly the same gameplan with different players.

Main reason I like Clark starting is he looks to set the tone on Defence.
He stiffens the middle next to Fish and Barney at the start of the game.

This seems quite an easy one for me.

Healey needs to come onto the bench.

Absolutely not in favour of messing with the halves. If anything, stability in the halves is even more important now.

It's difficult for me to track how things develop on this forum since I am in the US time zone. But why are we talking about TMM all of a sudden? Don't mess with the halves! They've been improving each week and should be given full faith and confidence until we start losing on a continual basis.

As for the Walker issue, I think the answer is clear. Halasima subs for 13 (Erin). Bring in Laban. Having 3 forwards on the bench is important for our grinding game style. I might even think about starting Laban and moving Marata to the bench. Marata is a damaging ball runner who might be better utilized in limited spurts when bodies on the edge are getting tired.

I think we've played much tougher opposition - that's my main hope for tomorrow, we're much more resilient for having gone against the raiders, manly and the chooks vs the knights, eels and dolphins

I really liked one point Webby made in the press conference after the Roosters game too. He mentioned how instead of getting frustrated that we're not scoring when we get in the red zone and doing dumb stuff we just go back into the system, keep building pressure and points will come eventually. Seemed like this happened a bit last year where we would drop off after not scoring points and then let off the pressure with a dumb penalty or offside at the beginning of opposition sets whereas this year we seem a lot better disciplined at not letting teams up the field easy.

Bunty should start, he may as well absorb all the shit at the beginning of the game and keep the better players fresh.

I’d bring Erin off the bench to replace him. And bring some real intensity.

Start 3 props vs 3 props.

Bunty, Barnett and JFH vs May, Pole and Twal
We win that battle imo
And have a more impactful bench

I really like Clark starting. He sets our defensive line speed really well and it forces anyone who subs on to keep pace after.

 

[Tragic]

Didn't think we would see him back but Kosi in the wet coming out of yardage. Coild be ok if he can hold onto the ball.
