General Warriors selections , SOO time

[Playdaball]

Likely that we’ll have 3 players in the SoO sides this year : Ford, Barnett and Capewell , who replaces them in the Warriors team?
Ford: TSS?
Barnett: EIT?
Capewell ; Nikoure ?
Who then slots into the reserves ?
The good thing is that we do have depth , especially in the forwards .

I would say if capewell goes SOO then Laban fits into the starting side again.

And EIT to come in the bench spot. Not sure Barney and Ford will get chosen

I reckon Ford will make the squad, whether he plays on the day is another matter. Aren't half the SOO teams from game 3 last year either injured/left for rugby/playing like crap?

I think he deserves it.

I just have this sneaky suspicion that he won't be selected. The NSW old boys are a bit funny in their biases.

As a fan of Ford, I hope he does get picked. As a QLD supporter, I hope he doesn't.

That being said our game before SOO1 is against the dargs, so it's not the worse thing in the world if we lose Ford.

​

Made me think about who other teams might be missing as well.
BOLD are the games before when players will definitely be out, others are whether they back up or not.
Game 1, Most players will back up for Penrith with a 5 day turnaround
Game 2, Melbourne to Chch (via Townsville?) might be too much for the Cowboys
Game 3, Friday night in Sydney, 2 days after Game 3. Unlikely anyone backs up unless theny play 10-20 mins or are unused reserves

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

I would say ford gets selected, possibly Barnett as well! Capewell for sure.

Ford / T S Smith
Capewell/ Laban
Barnett/ E I Toeava
