Warriors v Raiders - Round 3, 2024 PICK YOUR TEAM


​

Here's your chance to select your dream team for the next rounds match so don your coaches cap on and lets hear it.

This game is our home away from home match which will be played in Christchurch on Friday 22nd March 8pm NZST or 6pm AEST...

 

[Dlenai]

Same team. Same game plan as the second half.

Kick chase. Kick chase. Defence, wrap up the ball. SJ kick to corners. One more week of gelling up the attacking sets and link plays. Literally Webby’s, possibly every good coaches playbook was played in the second half. Complete every set, kick to corners and kick chase. Repeat and we’ll win

 

[WahsaurusRex]

Same team but switch Afoa and Barnett, we can’t have both Mitch and Addin coming off at the same time

We aren’t losing to the one dimensional Raiders after how we played tonight, Fuhgeddaboudit

 

[CWC]

Egan back in, Marata?

 

[Stalefish540]

Egan back in, Marata?

I think Egan a chance, Marata still listed as TBC same as CNK so prob not.

 

[Dannevegas]

Same team if injured boys aren’t back.
The bench was good against the storm, their wasn’t a die off once Barney and Addin went off.

Raiders will be tough, look a good side this year.

Egan back in, Marata?

Agree with StaleFish540. Webby said in the presser that Egan has good news for the long term, which is good for our season, but his return is uncertain could be 3-4 weeks or he could play next week (depends on having a range of motion that allows his to pass and tackle). He also said CNK won't play next week.

Same team as this evening. Poor Jazz in 18th man (especially given his dummy half work was passable for the All Stars game), but CHT more suited to being carried on the bench for the utility role.

 

[Pop Dukez]

Same team but depends on who comes back from injury next week. Will be at least one. Otherwise Walker was great off the bench and Jazz/CHT utility.

 

[tajhay]

Egan could be back this week, could be in 3 weeks. Webster said that he's still trying to get range in his arm. Also CNK won't be back this weeks prob 2 or 3 weeks from what he said from memory.

 

[Lets Eat (YeahNah)]

Egan back in, Marata?

Think webby was saying Egan week by week depending on the range of elbow movement

Then not sure if it was Nuikore or CNK but thought he said another 2-3 weeks

CNK 2-3

 

[Inruin]

I think AW goes with the same team. Maybe Jazz instead of CHT would be my only consideration. Raiders going to keep trying to come through the front door with their forward orientated play. I think we are way more creative with ball in hand but they are a solid, grinding team that never seem to go away. Should be a good test for both sides.

 

[Beastmode]

Same team and I expect we’ll smoke the Raiders.

 

[Wrighty]

Kosi in for Montoya?

 

[Defence]

Shame it’s the raiders- probably the only team acclimatized to chch conditions- would’ve been a good time to get the cowboys.
It’s not a must win yet but drop this and we’ll be making it hard for ourselves.

 

[Cces]

If Niukore isn't injured then either Bunty or Ale make way.
Not sure if these stats from yesterday will sway the decision but might be of interest:

Tom Ale - 14 mins, 63m total, 23m post contact @4.6m per carry, 37m kick return @12.3m per carry, 2 hit ups at 13m per carry, 4/4 tackles

Bunty Afoa - 25 mins, 87m total, 37m post contact @4.6m per carry, 28m kick return @14m per carry, 6 hit ups at 9.8m per carry, 13/15 tackles

Tom Ale - 14 mins, 63m total, 23m post contact @4.6m per carry, 37m kick return @12.3m per carry, 2 hit ups at 13m per carry, 4/4 tackles

Bunty Afoa - 25 mins, 87m total, 37m post contact @4.6m per carry, 28m kick return @14m per carry, 6 hit ups at 7.6m per carry, 13/15 tackles

I thought both those boys were decent. I don’t Ale hugely but he did well, and Bunty tried hard so no hate here. If they keep improving and putting up that effort they have their place in the team for mine.

Really wanted that win, hard loss, but they got the formula right. They can make the playoffs.

 

[Noitall]

Kosi in for Montoya?

Looked a bit disinterested today in the nsw cup game I thought

 

[Levonsnow😝]

anyone else note Bunty belting kients, stopping players in their tracks over the last 2 games. Short 20 minute stints and given a licence to smash farkers. He’s got a clear and simple role, he might be in for a big year.

What constitutes a hit up in those stats?
