General Warriors Preseason 2026

[John Nick]

Shame about TMM. But one positive is that it'll finally end the TMM vs Healey debate. We may finally get to see Healey in the NRL side for an extended period as Egan's understudy. Also stoked for Hanson getting another shot. CHT will be available for rd1 I believe, so last chance to impress.

Shame for TMM who has had more than his fair share of set backs
Gives any number of the younger halves a chance. Be great if one of them was to grab the moment

Bugger. It was his long kicking leg too.

Wow. The universe really does choose Tanah Boyd to be the rainmaker for our long-suffering fanbase

 

[Boneless]

as long as our centre can defend, they're not going to see much ball

I seriously don’t know if Luke Hanson passed the ball once in the weekend, I hope Jack Thomason’s in serious consideration to be picked

 

[Boats n Hoes]

No Harry Inch? Wouldve liked to see him get another run.

Not saying he's a definite first grader at all, but geez i get Ethan Strange vibes the way he takes the ball into contact. Looks like a strong bugger.

Seems like a natural footballer. I'd like to see him developed as a fullback where he could pick his moments to slot in to the attack.

Remember when the Warriors had front rowers … those were the days.

One of the first things I noticed in the māori game was TMM threw the ball immediately to his center on one of his first touches.

Hanson had Leka outside him and hardly found him all game. That worries me if you're not able to utalise such a hard runner by having him run lines and either hit him with a ball at the line or throw it out the back or loop it over when Leka draws in more defence.

I missed the 2nd half, but saw the highlights and assumed it was Jack Thompson who threw that big cut out pass to the winger who went over in the corner? Jeeze I loved seeing that.

There is a lot of unrealistic hope that Webby will throw in a young 7. IF Tannah did go down for 4 weeks plus, what halves combo would he realistically use?

He had presence. Like he knew what he was doing, not flustered or rushed.
No.7 for me

7. Hanson
6. Taine / CNK

Where else do you go?

Possibly

7. Hanson
6. Taine / CNK

Where else do you go?

Possibly CHT to 7, CNK to 6, and TT to. 1

I really dont want to think about that! But fuck me!!! If its CHT we are doomed!

Yep I do too... needs to learn the game properly and develop... my worry is that his natural talent and instincts may get coached out of him.... seen shit like that happen to often... ruins a player, makes them less than ordinary..
I reckon a good coach should harness that talent.. while theyre still young...

7. Hanson
6. Taine / CNK

Where else do you go?

I would say Hanson is more of a 6 than CHT (both very much are). All 6s and no 7s!

 

[CWC]

Oh man what a disaster. Where is Linnane?

 

[WAH MAN]

I really dont want to think about that! But fuck me!!! If its CHT we are doomed!

Jett
Linnane

Both injured but now it's a race to see who's back fastest and available. Nevermind form. Just get in there.

 

[WAH MAN]

Injured list re ACL injury before arrival I believe

Thompson looks a 7, but could use a few kilos. Think he needs to be in nsw cup

 

[CWC]

I don’t mind Mellars starting the season, might be a breakout

TT 1 CNK 6?
