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

[roguei]

17 games on the wing at NRL level
7 games on the wing in reserve grade

Gonna assume that doesn't include the games where he's been shifted to winger due to injury, which must have happened quite a few times by now. Dude is a surprisingly experienced winger.

 

[Kakarot]

We should dominate their middle after the last 2 weeks good leg drives.

You haven't been watching the tigers have you may and pole will be up for it

If we play like Vegas we'll get smashed.
These last 2 weeks have given me confidence.
The Dolphins still put 18 on em

And then they held them out for 55min

This is not really good news. It is the best we can do. But with reshuffled back line we have new combinations across the whole outside back line.

Good call Wrighty.

I feel this is still a dangerous backline, if Rocco is back to his peak form. However, to your point, I wouldn't be surprised if Rocco runs at left centre. Ali and TT are forming a good combination there and it would minimise disruption with the edge back rowers and the halves.

We held the Roosters out for ages before we ground em down too remember.
Should be a interesting match either way

The RTS 8 week injury being public news now and the rumoured Cobbo sighting

 

[roguei]

Interesting that tigs still named Skelton and Fainu who both came off injured last round.

Cobbo? Where's this coming from?

Cobbo? Where's this coming from?

OP mentioned his friend had seen Cobbo at Auckland airport over the weekend. No credible source to it. In the recruitment thread.

Any sauces?

 

[Bruiser]

Hopefully AW isn't going to run with TMM as 18th man. More beneficial to play cup and let one of the other guys be 18th.

Named at 6 to play cup

RTS out for 8 weeks with a high-grade hammy strain

Sounds like a grade two strain which is not so bad after all. Full recovery is probable with good management. Unlike Luke Metcalfs legs which became chronic tears until the Warriors did a lot of work on his legs.

Two months off is not bad news when we are talking hamstrings is it.

Personally I would have preferred to see Ali stay on the right where he has been so effective.

Bugger Rocco, he can fit around the better center at the Warriors even if that means playing right wing or left right out.

Yes it sluts me a bit we are adjusting to Rocco's preferred centre position at right centre which throws everyone else out to accommodate. That said what is best for Rocco may be what is best for the team as despite half the forum calling him the GOAT etc he is our most rocks and diamonds player in whole thirty man squad. He can have a really good game or he can be porous on defence. And I think Ali played left centre in the fabulous round 27 Sharks game.

Yup, but Hanson on extended bench.

Ali has some amazing hands. Where as i don't think rocco is as talented so he needs to play on his prefered side. I would of thought the thinking behind this is, you'd rather a 95% Ali and a 100% rocco, over a 100% Ali and a 80% rocco. Just goes to show how insane that kid is! On the flip side i worry a bit about defense there, as Ali covered TT really well. Where TT just needed to hold up the ball while Ali would take the person down. But if any center can fill that role, it'd be rocco. Attack is also a bit of a worry, but i don't think tiger's edge defense is very good at the try line. And we're very good at holdng a team in that position.

Rocco Berry turns 24 in May and is the peak of his career
191 cms or a Whopping 6 foot 3 and the ideal weight for a centre at 94 kgs
He has 10 tries in 43 matches and provides the Warriors enviable depth coverage for this match coming in for the injured legendary player Roger Tuivasa Sheck.
Before the season started we said our depth might help us in 2025 and here we are leveraging it in Game three with the very experienced Berry coming into the side.
