Recent discussions focus on the surprising team selection of Kosi and Bunty, with many questioning Kosi's inclusion due to perceived poor performance in the NSW cup, as mentioned by Barzak #101. Noitall #102 pointed out Kosi's past struggles on the left side, raising concerns about his pairing with Pompey. Despite reservations, some are hoping for a turnaround, with Milking!^105 and Zarjaz #103 expressing support. Concerns were also raised about the team's structure, especially in light of Dylan Walker's departure, with some suggesting alternative lineup changes.
The sudden departure of Dylan Walker has been a major talking point, Inruin #71 highlighting his integral role in the team's attack. Several posters like Sydneywarrior92 #48 suggested potential replacements and adjustments to the team's structure. There is a split in opinions on whether to disrupt the current halves pairing, TMM Te Maire Martin and CHT Chanel Harris-Tavita, with some suggesting TMM could fill Walker's role and others advocating for stability in the halves, as mentioned by Makasene #46 Garry Saloon #39. Various options for Walker's replacement have been discussed, including Laban, Halasima, and Healey.
Earlier in the discussion, the focus was on the team's overall strategy for the upcoming game against the Tigers. Wahs_Ultras #5 suggested moving Ali to the left edge to exploit the Tigers' perceived weaker right side. Participants such as Tohu’s_Knees #13 emphasized the importance of handling the Tigers' strong forward pack and shutting down key players like Luai and Galvin. There were discussions around the team's backline changes and the potential impact of reshuffling the combinations, as mentioned by Wrighty #9. Some, like Boats n Hoes #14, highlighted the importance of defensive efforts and forward pack dominance for securing a win. Warriorshopeful #81 posted stats showing similarities between the Warriors and Tigers.
Tigers forum aren’t necessarily blowing up about it, but they also aren’t too impressed with Faatape coming inEveryone in here blowing up about Kosi's selection but I don't remember seeing any of these other nsw players named in the 22 man squad on Tuesday![]()
To be fair to Kosi and Webster, having a look i think its just him an morgan harper in our top 30 that can play wing, we could chuck a second rower in there but I think that would go as badly with pompey on the wing. Its just a tough go Rocco got re injured.You would have to feel for other NSW cup players who are putting in 100% and are rearing for a NRL appearance and then see Kosi get selected. He has done absolutely nothing in cup to deserve this spot other than continue to make errors. I don't get what Webster sees in him but I guess its the same thing he sees in CNK as fullback, Capewell as an 80 minute 2nd rower, a concussed prone hooker playing a full game and a need to only want to recruit Australians/Englishman who lets face it will ask for a compassionate release in years to come.
As a fan, I want this team to win but we got to put ourselves in positions to win not to set us up for losses. Here's hoping game day changes are made with two good 18th/19th men.
If we wanted to play a stronger side, Webster would shift CNK to centre push Pompey to wing and bring in TMM to cover FB. He has his favourites which sucks. I'm hoping Kosi goes out and plays hard and proves why he deserves that spot.To be fair to Kosi and Webster, having a look i think its just him an morgan harper in our top 30 that can play wing, we could chuck a second rower in there but I think that would go as badly with pompey on the wing.

All in all if its anyones fault I would go recruitment, should have seen that we need another solid winger/ centre and recruited earlier then when DWZ was injured.
