Team List Warriors v Dragons - [Round 24, 2025]

[Canonball]

Notice Ali is listed as 'indefinite' again... he's gone from being available at rnd whatever [last time rnd 24] to indefinite a couple of times ... what's up with his ankle ?

 

[Po11um]

I confident the warriors will take the 2pts this week. Onwards & upwards

 

[Beastmode]

The team named seems to satisfy most given the relative lack of posts since 6pm

Sorry buddy I was busy

Shit looking team.

 

[John Nick]

Sorry buddy I was busy

Shit looking team.

You're on good form today Beasty.

Tis why I haven't said anything.

What is there to say apart from it is the best we can do, unless you are one of these people that moan about NSW cup players not being picked every week.

Gee if only it were that simple, if only defence didn't exist in League.

Are you forgetting Afoa and Ale
We lack forward punch - these two provide it and are good defenders

I agree with you on Kali etc next year maybe for the guys you mention.

 

[Sammyw]

i get the doom and gloom, but if egan is fit to play our lineup is far better than theirs, i actually dont mind it. if we cant get up for this then we can pack it in

CNK made 21m last week & 89m metres the week before, both at left Centre. Last year's sole appearance at Centre was on the right and he gained 120m.

After a little look in the archives it turns all 6 of his Kiwis Tests in the position are also all left side. The 2022 RLWC player match stats are hard to come by as NRL website didn't collect them and doesn't look like the competitions website still exists. Got to jump back to 2019 for more appearance in the position. Returns of 95, 98 & 112m

Maxigesic Recovery Report: Leiataua out for several weeks

Warriors centre Ali Leiataua is out for five to six weeks after having surgery on an ankle injury.

www.warriors.kiwi

He had surgery back in June, wondering if he may have come back a bit too soon and reaggravated the injury.

Yeah not a lot of options atm with injuries, hard to pick players on form. I think we've actually massively overperformed this season for our squad.
New halves pairing, new front row rotation, basically should have been a rebuild year yet we've sat in top 4 for 16 weeks of the season.

Pretty crazy when you think we lost AFB, Tohu and SJ out of the squad after last year.

Hey Kos

Outside of Bunty banging the drum after we've won a game, are you able to provide some more information around this 'forward punch' you speak of from Bunty?

He's made 4 tackle breaks in 7 games this year, 0 attacking stats and averages 67 meters, which is quite comical as thats even less than Niukore.

That’s all around him
Playing 22 minutes a game
Performance per minute would be a different story if you get my drift
Marata please tell his stats
Yes Bunty s good for 20/30 minutes dents the opposition and is an extremely effective tackler

We don’t need him to play 70 minutes like the Cosch does with Ford
Hell just rotate the four props more effectively

Why keep on about the lose of Tohu.
He was past it. And it showed
