General Warriors Preseason 2026

Can anyone else see their seats in myseats, on the warriors website? We’ve had real issues with the membership dept this off season. No comms, can’t see our tickets, they’ve emailed us saying we need to renew when we have already done so. Been pretty frustrating
 
Wrong thread I know, but can anyone advise best place to sit at Newcastle? Heading over for that game. Doesn't appear to be many seats left though
I haven’t been to that stadium
But
If a day game
Sit in the western stand half way up between the 22 and halfway
The eastern stand will get the afternoon sun if a day game Sit- overheating and squinting into the setting sun
Night game either stand again half way up between 22 and half way.

Maybe with the new 6 man bench we see a top line up like this.

1 Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad
2 Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
3 Ali Leiataua
4 Adam Pompey
5 Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
6 Chanel Harris-Tavita
7 Luke Metcalf

8 James Fisher-Harris
9 Wayde Egan
10 Mitch Barnett
11 Kurt Capewell
12 Leka Halasima
13 Erin Clark

14 Sam Healey
15 Te Maire Martin
16 Taine Tuaupiki
17 Marata Niukore
18 Demitric Vaimauga
19 Jackson Ford

Like Webby said forward rotation stays the same. Then you got the option of using either Martin Healey or Tuaupiki.
The likes of martin and Tuaupiki would need to be rotated regularly to make sure they are not missing game time in cup.

You would almost see the likes of a Hanson and Doyle over Tuaupiki and Martin.
 
I think what ever team ends up using the 6 man bench the best could have a significant leg up this year.

For me, its greatly going to reduce players like TMM role within the team. And I'm all for it. TMM is currently there as a super sub, a 'just in case'. Which is great when you have an injury, but a bit of a wasted man on the bench if there's no injury and you're trying to squeeze him in.

I think it's going to open up a whole element within a game plan. Against bigger teams like the Raiders, do you have 4 forwards on the bench, TMM and Healey, and if we're getting beat up in the middle and no injuries after 50min, go all out and bring the extra forward on? Or if we've been getting a big roll on up the middle, do you try bringing Healey and TMM on against a tiring pack?

I think this rule change suits us as it means we can have our super sub specifically left on the bench unless there's an injury. There were a few games last year where I feel we were unlucky - having TMM on the bench when Healey would have been great during a specific game, and I think we picked Healey a few times and ended up getting an injury in the backs in the first 15 min. Now we have the opportunity to use both at the opportune moment instead of blindly hoping you've picked the right guy
 
It definately allows more tactical decisions over the bench.
You can carry a hooker, 3 forwards, an outside back , an an edge or whatever combination you like.
Carry a papenhauyzen type player to bring on in the last 10 if the games won to ramp up your PD.
I just hope it stays small. We don't want NFL style substitutions lol

Webby will play ford for 80 though, and still use 7 subs a game.
 
You know when you go get a haircut and at the end they get that smaller mirror and show you the different angles by reflecting it in the main front mirror so you can see the sides and back better?

Maybe they didn't do that this time
Reflect what? There's nothing left except for that patch at the back. 😆
