[Lance155]

Get Marata off an edge please. Fine on attack but not there on D. Really missing Labans aggressive defence

Indicates you get your way Lance155 with Niukore moving up front and Berry coming onto the right edge

 

[Inruin]

If Berry plays do you think AW plays TT at fullback and gives CNK a week off?

I would. A dry track will benefit Taine a lot but also allow charnze to rest up (looks banged up).

But id say he reverts back to charnzs 1. TT as probably 18th man to cover if berry goes down (highly likely)

While TT definitely has his moments I do think CNK is the better fullback by some margin. On that assumption he will definitely go back to Fullback imo

My question was more around giving CNK a week off to get over any injury he may be carrying, rather than who AW might favour in the role or who is the better fullback for us. Seems to have been struggling for a number of weeks.

Tain will be the one with a week off more like. Baby and all.

Even if he is carrying something we are really lacking experience. While I would usually push for a fit player first I don't think we can afford that right now

Why are they training at Eden Park?

The same day the Blues announce they will play a couple of matches at Mt Smart next year.

Curious

Fifty mm of rain Thursday
Twenty mm of rain Friday
Eight mm of rain Saturday
The rain probably well gone by game time but ground might be damp not so much of a dry track

 

[Victor_Radley's_Scrotum]

Warriors by 60.

Come on!
This team don’t even know what attack is
Scrape in by 15

I'd be happy to scrape home by 1 at this stage haha

[Inruin]

If that's the 1-17 I don't think we have enough points in us. Arguably the three most creative players are TT and Healey on the extended bench and TMM as utility. Come on AW, stop being conservative Mr Vanilla

Oh and still no Ale..... Anywhere

 

[Ever Hopeful]

No room for Healey when TMM is fit. You'd have to think he is getting itchy feet.

I wonder if Webby would be playing him or TMM if Metcalf was still around.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Happy to see Demi get the nod as a starter, but overall a bit disappointed if I'm honest.

I guess this is Webby's first time to really test out his game plan with Tanah's boot, and Berry and Capewell chasing all day.

I was looking forward to seeing Niukore being moved from that edge to see if that's where the defensive issues start, and we might see some changes closer to game day but yeah, was hoping for something a bit different

 

[kos]

Kalani Going on the extended
He s being playing extra well
He s not going to play though
What’s his contract status in 2026?

Is he joining Bunty and Tom in the left right out club?


Dare I say it props on the bench look underwhelming
