Team List Warriors v Dolphins - [Round 22, 2025]

[Noitall]

Wouldn’t mind seeing a EIT debut in the centres. Wonder if his younger legs might be handy and Capewell shift in to put pressure on the ball getting wide

Has Eit played much centre?

 

[roguei]

Not wishing injury on anyone at all. But damn the one place we are the most densely talented (2nd rowers) has remained uninjured pretty much all year. Yet we seem to rack up injuries in the centers and wings with the least amount of talent. Just harsh.

 

[Dannevegas]

That’s how I suspect it may pan out.
8 of the top 17 out.
Nothing to lose.
We need to use the ball more in early tackles.

Hoping that’s what we do, but the squad he’s picked currently won’t give us that. Despite all the injuries there’s still a very good side that he could have picked, That would challenge the opposition. Besides Healey, All the players he’s picked to replace the injuries are pretty are slow and predictable

 

[Noitall]

Has Eit played much centre?

In preseason trial they played him there against storm. Shows he must be in there mind as a potential centre, or were interested in seeing him there anyway

 

[dylpickle]

I'd say they will start the game as TT at FB, Charnze at Centre and Capes in 2nd Row.
Lussick will be dropped if he is carrying a niggle so EIT will debut.
Then when Healy needs a rest they will either put TMM or TT at 9 and EIT will cover centre and CNK will push back to FB.

Going to be messy.

What’s Webster beef with Tom Ale
If ever we needed Ale it’s this week
It seems vindictive not to play Ale in the first grade side
Does anyone really believe TSS is better than Ale
Does the coach actually want to win games or just present loyalty badges to out of form and injured players and favoured newbies ie TSS.

 

[Stalefish540]

The whole Ale situation is just straight up weird. Such an odd situation.

Even if hes seen as not here next year by the coaches. We are still in the top four, not in the bottom four just clock watching for the season to finish.

Something has definitely gone on there, given all the outs to not even be in the extended.

 

[kos]

Bunty and Tom went through all the Covid shit with the club
Loyalty counts for zilch
If Bunty and Ale are not there next year I ll be losing some of my love for the warriors
I mean these two are at different level to Albert Vete and Sam Lisone
These two must have don’t something really bad for Webster to cut them
Out

 

[Leon Black]

Why does CNK, think he’s so entitled to the fb role, he ain’t no prime Roger or Tedesco. Do what’s best for the team man

Because of Websters stupid public comment when we signed RTS.

Webster needs to show his kahunas and make the change including TT at 1. Makes sense as that spine have played a fair bit together, that’s my logic.

 

[Beastmode]

If we win, this game has the potential to be one of the greatest redemption stories in the clubs history.

Or we lose by 50 and meh…

Good point
Healy Boyd Tmm Tt
Chuck Afoa and Ale in the front row as well

 

[Ryno 2.0]

Maybe to lighten the mood but what about some outside the box thinking.

- Swap the left edge with the right edge on game day, all the Dolphins plays they practiced now don't work!
- DWZ at right center, doesn't need to jam in anymore because he's already there!
- Every 20 minutes DWZ, RTS and CNK rotate positions, share the fullback load, and keep the opposition guessing which edge to attack!

I think they'll be targeting 80mins out of Healey.

If he can't do it, expect Clarke to find his way in there

Does he play 80mins in cup?

that's absolutely mental. You don't change your entire backline so drastically this late into the season.

Been busy all week so haven't had the chance to read the team list, let alone post. But this team list is really something! I'd be a bit more worried about the 2 forward bench if we were up against Canberra. This Phins pack is actually almost identical to the one we outmuscled last year at MSS when we had essentially a NSW cup side playing in 1st grade. They don't actually scare me.

I have to assume TT is the utility cover this week with CHT out and Lussick spells Healey at DH. Healey hasn't played 80 all year in either cup or NRL. However Holic had a post saying that Capewell was training with the forwards. If that's true maybe TT might actually play at the back with CNK shifting to the centers and Capewell shifting to the back row and Marata back to the middle respectively. Seriously doubt it though. That's just not what Webby is about this year.

Call me crazy but we do our best work when we are in the next man up mentality vs having to play with our full strength squad. That Broncos win earlier in the year where we had like half our squad out as well is a good example of that. So I give us every chance to win this, especially given the wet and dewey conditions that are expected tomorrow night. Call me an optimist but I have a good feeling about tomorrow.

Yep, agree - the pack we've ended up with has more than enough to take theirs on or down. Sucks Demi isn't there - but this will trigger capes back to the pack with Marata moving into the middle. Agree that Freddy likely to drop off now too, with a different contingency for hooker cover... and we get Eddie at centre (a good thing!)

This is actually a good and fairly exciting side tho.
Also Taines only loss where he’s started at fullback for us, was that close loss in Melbourne last year
