Pick Your Team Warriors v Roosters - [Round 3, 2025]

NZWarriors.com

If berry is okay after the stinger, id put him at center and look to have either Ali or Pompey as the wing and have Taine at FB. The roosters wingers are deadly and then that union fella Mark at center has some good height too.

Pack wise Capewell might not be 100% so a change possibly there.
 
If we don’t dominate field position then they might bomb Taine on the wing, and neither Pompey or Ali are good at bombs

Can Berry play right wing? He was pretty good with attacking bombs before his season ended
 
would it be bold to switch Taine and CNK for this game? CNK just seems off as others have commented. Taine is the spark of energy/enthusiasm we need. I'm also a bit worried his lack of height will be exploited in this game against the behemoth Roosters wingers.
Yeah, Sandon Smith has got a boot on 'em. He peppered the black cats last night but, hey, that Jye Gray's doin' pretty good for a shorty. Give 'em a shot at FB if he wants but I'm happy with 'em on the wing.
 
Listening to the press conference did Webby mention that Metcalf broke his nose? Wasn’t overly clear who it was
He did. It was just a cut.

The lesson from this is don't take medial advice from a first grade coach.

Mind you I originally though Seibold said Trbojevic went of with tiredness instead of tightness. To be fair I didn't hair him asked about hamstrings.
 
Berry will most likely start if they think he’s ready otherwise no other changes. It was a very good win and you give the players another opportunity to build on that.

I think Halasima will definitely be a starter by the end of the season but I think twenty minutes a game is a good way to blood in a guy who could be a cornerstone for the next 15 years.
I don't dislike Berry. But Webby will find it hard to drop Pompey.

Halasima is a now guy. So ready to destroy NRL stars
 
Gotta run the same team.

And make sure we keep it simple, same starters, same bench.

Just so bloody impressed at the middle defence (JFH, Barny, Clark) - Really noticed the difference of not having Tohu spat out the back.

Webbys dads army team couldn't put it together last year, the young bucks mid-season had a go.

He's got a response from his preferred team (barring injury) so there is certainly light at the end of the tunnel.
 
No changes in personnel unless injury enforced.

Massive changes still needed to ensure we don't have the pendulum swing back to shit house this week.

The high of snorting this victory is clearing now and as the haze settles we see a picture that has long existed for us. Shithouse one moment, on fire the next. I remember when Tohu signed for us those years ago. We won a game or two and the media were interviewing him about how awesome those couple of wins were. He said it's nice but the goal is to achieve sustained success.

2025 after two rounds albeit a small sample shows inconsistency again and still. I'll check back in next week and thereafter to see if we have achieved consistent performance and therefore wins.
 
The team i want is whomever Webster picks. I believe fundamentally that he is a good coach, that he knows better than me.

However given the name of the thread if there were changes I would like them to see:

CNK goes to right wing.

Taine at Fullback.

Laban in for Capewell.

While it is tempting to bring Berry in for his slightly better attack than Pompey, defensively I give Pompey a slight edge.

So Berry to spend more time in cup till he kicks down the front door like Laban is doing.
 

Jacob is on fire.

I am one of the posters who spotted him early and proclaimed he will be one of the Warriors greatest ever defensive forwards.

He is the toughest junior we have produced in decades.

On top of all of that he is a big unit with nice hands and a good read of the game.

He is far more promising than Halasima and SIfakula. But I agree with him not getting picked ahead of our Aussie veterans. As a work horse you have to wait your time, experience counts ahead of potential in the high workrate positions in an NRL team.

CNK to centre and berry outside him, TT to fullback while Ali and Roger carve up on the left. DWZ might struggle to get a look..
