General Warriors Preseason 2026

[Brightman]

so reduced utility players

having players like CNK and TMM that can play anywhere in the backline in a pinch have huge value. Lets say the coach stacks his bench and uses 4 bench forwards by the 60th minute, then CHT or Boyd goes down? Coach can shift CNK to the halves and Capes/Leka to centre, RTS to fullback and Pompey to wing.
We've seen it before but this time the bench forwards are rolling over the opposition..

 

[WAH MAN]

19 games for the season isn't the worst but not ideal.

Heaps of our guys seem *note the use of the I statistic word seem" to play less than that during seasons we wish they were bulletproof and available

This might surprise everyone as we discuss the Healey inclusion - Egan - 3rd most dummy half runs in the comp last year behind Bailey and Grant.

Criminally underrated

I don't think he is underrated but he definitely needs some game time management through the season

Finally learned this year the correct tackle technique. Getting the head behind the tackled player. Helps with head knocks. Too little too late but better than never

Cces always brings receipts

Certainly changed my mind quite often having him check my posts.

These train spotter boys are dam handy if you want to learn something about a subject you think you know well.

Much better in that regard, form seemed to drop off towards tail end of the whether that was injury involved or not? Interesting his stats almost mirror Koriasau from last year who had a quiet one by his standards if I remember correctly? Third for dummy half runs as pointed out by others too. His brother going to knights is an interesting development because we seem to have a bit of depth at hooker coming through? I don’t think we’d extend him past 2027 at this point?

Agreed. Imo it's if he can come back refreshed after the off-season. Wait and see for me
