Gameday Warriors v Dolphins - [Round 22, 2025]

[Wah's Up]

Anyone in Auckland or at the game, what is the temperature there. Freezing cold here in Tauranga

Last time I thought we were going to get reemed (other than a Melbourne game) was the Manly game at the start of the year.

Let's hope for a similar result.

 

[the WARs]

sign him up!!!

Yep, really needs to step up here. Pack leader type effort.

Is WAHS biggest body on the park at 106kgs -watch out Phins when are 85kg PROP lussick comes on I'm the same weight and I do take my hat off to the guy running it at some very BIG bodies

 

[John Nick]

Clearly someone’s already had one too many

Hope he's not driving

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Vaimauga is the big out for me because it compounds the loss of Barnett and then JFH

A much better backline, so between our lessening forward pack, but better balanced backs it probably evens up the two teams strengths and weaknesses a tad.

I still think they burn us though. We're going to need to get lucky with a few things, most notably injuries in the 80 minutes. It be nice if the bounce of the ball and the refs whistle came out in our favour slightly too.

 

[Tragic]

Saw CNK play Centre here at the mount once before in reserve grade, he was mud positioning in defence. This is his redemption game for making me watch that.

we are going have to go back to WArriorball IMHO forget about trying to dominate the middle thats very unlikely ...

Oooh Neville Kesha died. Was just up on big screen

 

[the WARs]

Bunty playing ? hope so over TSS !

 

[Po11um]

Home advantage maybe the difference & some refs calls in the warriors favor

 

[Beastmode]

Healey, Ford, Capewell, Boyd. They all need to bring that Aussie mongrel out tonight. And the home boys need to follow. That’s how we win this

And Lussick!!!

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Need some crash bash footy

 

[John Nick]

Oooh Neville Kesha died. Was just up on big screen

Yes mate I posted a few days ago
Very sad RIP

 

[Tragic]

Bunty playing ? hope so over TSS !

Both warming up

 

[sup42]

We might see some second phase trickery from Webster tonight, he might as well take the training wheels off and give this basically Propless Warriors pack some other way of getting out of our end when the Dolphins inevitably strangle us.

Hope we can get out of the thirty.

Just saw the team list. I applaud Webby. This is a really ballsy call to shift CNK to center and make TT our FB. This was not on my bingo card. CNK is defensively strong and trust him to handle Herbie tonight. He can still maintain his work rate but allow us to utilise TT's spark. Excited to see that we've just assembled the spine that has been murdering teams in NSW cup: TT at FB, TB and TMM in the halves and Healey at 9. Let's see how they go against a decent NRL side.

I just hope this FB switch is a long term commitment and not just a short gap measure until one of Berry/Ali return. We need to give this new combination time to work. Even if Berry/Ali returns, I hope we stick with this formulation until the end of the season.

Marata to Prop and Capes back to the forwards. Looks like Holic was right for once. This is actually a very good side. Very solid looking pack now. Stoked for EIT. Up the wahs!

I was a close friend and he was a really nice bloke in real life and a very good ref. Rest In Peace brother.

 

[ninj]

Now they all have to step up and play the entire game and not get lulled into playing the Phin's game. Up the Wahs!

I don't see it, the solid pack part, we have no real genuine out and out specialist Props, they are all converted to Prop types.

It is a horrible pack but all on the bus, kick off soon, nothing to lose, hundred percent behind em.

Man was that like 10 years ago?! He did alright at centre for the kiwis
