Any members not using their tickets this Friday? (Happy to pay if we end up going). Long story short my father is unwell and not sure if he will be well enough for us to sneak a trip up. So hesitant to buy tickets now but also know its going to sell out.

We haven't beaten the Roosters since 2018, be nice to get a win over them.

Can recall SJ being out and Lino came in and I was thinking the worst during the day. We ended up beating them fairly convincingly. Issac Luke bullied Cooper Cronk

Was he actually placed in report? I didn’t notice it watching the game just someone said afterwards?

This game analysis seems to indicate he wasn’t?

I can't believe the CNK doubters. If you watch closely, our halves combined for like 3 tries on the weekend which is something we haven't seen in ages. This means we don't need Charnze on that sweep play which I suppose is why some think he's fallen off.
Charnze takes the toughest carries in the team and gets belted for it every time. There is not a player in the team that gives more than him every game.
It's actually to our benefit that he's a bit more quiet on offense. Defenders jam hard on him knowing it's going wide, but what we saw on the weekend was that we didn't need to use that option we saw a short ball to Leaitaua and attack down the left instead.
It makes us less predictable and gives us more options in attack in the long term.

CNK 2024 - 204m, pen/error 0.95 per game
CNK 2025 - 130m, pen/ errors 2 per game

Early days yet but hes way down on his strength areas over last year as well as offering little on attack.

I understand about it being a team game and not relying on CNK but imaging if we played a team game AND had a fullback testing the opposition.

This team got a redemption arc 4sur hard out….NOICE MAHI dished out !!!!
Webby won’t change up a winning team & this gives his players mor reps together !!!!

Be good to see Laban & Berry strike up a combination whilst both are in cup still….
Could really open up that right edge & whoeva’s out on the flank could benefit big time….

Would like to see our incumbent 2nds work more with there centre but that’s possible pointless wishful thinking…..
More birds pluckd this week pease….
Let’s EAT….

He had to put up 200m cos every other part of our attack was shit.

A) CNK 200m+, Warriors lose.
B) CNK 150m, Warriors win.

Give me option B every day of the week.
