Pick Your Team Warriors v Cowboys - [Round 9, 2025]

[Worried2Death]

We should fear every team. Every team have some good players. But they all have weaknesses too. In the case of the cows, their weaknesses line up well against our strengths. Regardless of what the odds are for this game, we should disappointed if we don't win this one. Cowboys are a dangerous side, but they aren't Melbourne or Brisbane. These are the sorts of teams we need to be beating away from home if this is truly going to be a top 8 season.

I'd be more confident if we had Fish up front, but we look pretty even on paper with sort of opposite strength areas as you say. Forgot about Taumalolo, he looks damaging again lately. And Jake Clifford. Uh oh.

This is my opinion, but I think this is going to be like the tigers game. We have the superior forwards (even without fish) but they have the faster backline. So it's going to be another battle between power vs speed.

It'll be a level up from last night, power v nothing. Knights defended well though to their credit.

and the entire spectacle of magic round. All teams are going to be up for it, not just the cows. So it's not going to be an easy game. But I'd rather play the cows than Melbourne on a dry sunny Brisbane track. Thank the lord that we are done playing those mofos.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

We are building very nicely. We aren't the finished product but we are getting better every week whilst other teams are regressing. Best of all, we are doing all of this with a noticeably understrength side all year. Yet the most amazing thing is that no one in the Sydney media seems to be noticing. If the tigers were performing the way we have been, we'd never hear the end of it. But that's ok because as I see it, we are timing our rise almost perfectly. Winning this is just another step.

Just had a glance at the draw and of the next six rounds we only play once in NZ!
One thing in our favour for this coming game against the Cowboys is it's being played at Suncorp and not further north at their home ground..

Big home run though. If we can stay higher than .500 until the next bye we are in great shape.

I think it’s wild but when both wingers return I think there is a chance Ali could be the one playing Cup cuz Pompey is playing really well on the left and defends better and Webby wants Berry especially when Dallin’s there, and Ali while a beast on the right just is less effective on the left for some reason

Do players have different tempo stepping or running diagonal lines on different sides of the field? Maybe CHT is having trouble finding Ali. I do like how Pompey/Capewell/Ali combined for those tries in the Knights game though. Or they could keep Ali since their goal is probably a RTS/Ali combo but then I thought why did Pompey play left instead of right with Taine, is he actually the incumbent on the left?? Good problem to have and Ali does show up in some highlights of opposition tries so still need work ons and Webby/Fish are big on D this year

There’s no way Ali should be in cup. Ye he’s looked quiet but he’s not getting any good ball.
I think his ego is a point of difference too we have to many humble fellas

They fucked him for Berry.
Question. Is Berry worth the change?

Na I think Moi-Moi or Kali will be our long term Left Centre with Ali, as long as they can stay injury free. Still keen to see Rocco improve tho
