Pick Your Team Warriors v Eels - [Round 26, 2025]

[Beastmode]

CNK gets front foot ptb like Roger does. Roger is the absolute master at running between tacklers, with CNK 2nd.

Someone should teach this to Marata

Running between the tacklers son. Not straight into them sheeeesh… might help you break a tackle brah

Can't shake doubts about Boyd - probably had his best game with us last night, but his defensive reads are slow and yeah I still have an issue with his in game kicking, his accuracy is off - however we're not going to see anyone else at 7 now, it's too late to experiment personnel-wise so we're going to have to settle and back him so what I want to see are more options running off him -- the combination of him and CHT on the left side was great last night, let's throw a few 2nd rowers in and around that too

Mal said some insightful stuff about Tannah pre-game. "Biggest thing about Tannah is he needs to believe in himself". Seems Boyd's issue is entirely mental

He’s going to keep getting a lot of traffic his way when he keeps missing tackles. Thought he played really well but 16 made with 6 misses means teams will be watching that. Webster thought it was Boyd and CHT’s best performance together and I’d agree with that

I thought Marata played one of his best of the season last night. Pretty low bar though tbf

I swear some people are watching a totally different game..

Dan hates CNK. He normally waits for a loss to call for him to be moved though.

I actually think TB's general kicking game is better than Luke's. His long kicking game was what allowed us to suffocate the Titans. Also helped that Berry was back to lead the kick chase. Not to mention his goal kicking which is quite possibly his biggest asset to this team. His running game has started to develop nicely as well. He's often the scapegoat when we lose which I don't think is fair. He's been quite solid for us in his outings in first grade.

Yeah, I tend to agree with that - he has more than enough of the talent for what we're asking him to do - I don't want to be misinterpreted, I think he's actually a pretty good half, better than a bunch of others running around in 1st grade - I think the team has to come to him, look at where he is, and anticipate a bit more - we are starting to see that combination with CHT others have to follow

Tits are responsible for any mental hangovers that TB has. The way they f**ed with his development over the last three years, and quite frankly every half coming through their system, would rock any young half's development. He is still 24, younger than Luke. So still plenty of upside potential.

I saw Boyd laughing at the Titans players yesterday
They tried to off put him but not yesterday he went on
Yeah think he has more improvement

 

[kos]

Went ok
( not on)

 

[Ref]

Egan is the best hooker in the game.
He can’t play 80.
Get an epic 60 out of him.
Then bring on the man who is best equipped to carry on with the Egan creative, deceptive and influential style.
I really think that by accident or by design TMM has become that guy.
His defence is willing, reliable and safe too.
EIT thanks him.

I can't believe there's still chat about moving CNK out of fullback.

That conversation should be absolutely dead and buried by now, right next to "give Paul Turner a fair go!" and "the Kepu twins are the next big thing".

Pick and stick. Don't change a winning team.

Especially this time of the season.

Theres no debate, especially when it centres around moving RTS there so in effect we are moving two of our best players to plug a hole that doesn't need plugging.

I smell a statement performance this week in our final home outing for the regular season. Boys owe the faithful a good performance. We've been quite average at home for a while now.

Gameplan for Eels has to be the same as Tits. Complete high, dominate possession and suffocate them. Stop the offloads and put Moses under pressure all game. His long kicking game is what did the Broncs in a couple of weeks ago at Suncorp. .
