Pick Your Team Warriors v Broncos - [Round 7, 2025]

[Tookey 2.0]

Man it's becoming a bit of a cluster fuck with the outside backs.

CNK our for a game - likely that regardless of what happens nek game with his replacement, CNK comes back in. For me, no point in moving Taine, only to go back to wing 1 game later (and then likely replaces by Dallen in Rd 10).

But, if Taine isn't FB then it's bringing in TMM at the back despite not playing there in NRL in 3 years...hardly ideal for a one off replacement.

Kosi - generally not considered gold enough even though he played well last game there.

Pompey - fills in alright at wing but not a top winger by any stretch.

My guess is that they'll go Taine at FB, Kosi at wing.

Not sure what we're going to do with Fish, just praying for it being less than 4 weeks

 

[Inruin]

1 TT
2 Kosi
3 Pompey
4 Ali
5 MGT

Harper at right centre?

 

[Zaggo]

1 - TMM
2 - Taine
3 - Pompey
4 - Ali
5 - Kosi

This would be the least disruptive, if TMM has been doing any training at fullback. He would also be a nice link man on the shapes out to the right wing we seem to love so much.

 

[CWC]

Would be funny if Te Maire produces 4 try assists and Webby's shocked he has it in him, will play double fullbacks next game

 

[Damo]

1 - TMM
2 - Taine
3 - Pompey
4 - Ali
5 - Kosi

We're already going to be struggling for metres without Fish.
TMM and Taine in the outside backs is only going to hinder us IMO.

If Berry is also out for this game, I don't see how we are able to get by without bringing TMM in. Unless we just bite the bullet and go with something like:

Tauapiki
Kosi
Pompey
Ali
MGT/Harper

Absolutely nuts that out of 6 games (Including this weekend v Broncos)
We've had:
CNK gone for 1.5 games
Dallen gone for all 6
Roger only played 2.5
Berry only played one.
A total of 6 games each available, so out of those players and the 24 games available, they've played 8 combined....

Absolute carnage

This Andrew Webster nickname is the worst creation in Warriors fandom

 

[CWC]

This cuddles nickname is the worst creation in Warriors fandom

Worse than princess?

 

[tyrael]

Worse than princess?

Yes

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Yes

Sounds like you need a cuddle

 

[Dippa]

I think the Warriors have to contest the Rocco ban. What is the leniency against players falling into a tackle causing a headshot?

Rocco has only just returned anyway so what is the harm in having him miss 2 weeks worst case?

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

Not much we can do with our back 5 as it will be cobbled together with whoever we have left. Forwards will not be much different just whether Healy/TSS/Laban/EIT is on the bench to replace Bunty who would be starting.

I would like Capewell to go to the bench though. Guy is slowing down and we are not doing ourselves any favours by starting him. Vaimauga would be my pick to start.

With bench use I would like Andrew Webster to actually watch the game and if we need a spark at the 20th or 25 minute bring Halasima on. Ford is a work horse type of player so he comes on instead if we are in a arm wrestle. More minutes for Halasima would be great as well we need him to build into a starting role.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Yes

Its appropriate tho. Andrew Webster leads to sex. And we got fucked in the weekend.

 

[Sammyw]

think the best and least disruptive option is
1. TMM
2. Kosi
3. Pompey
4. Ali
5. Taine

however i'd be tempted to throw Leka in the centres..

1. Taine
2. Kosi
3. Ali
4. Leka
5. Pompey

 

[Playdaball]

I like this best. Bring in MGT
