Pick Your Team Warriors v Tigers - [Round 19, 2025]

[giffy]

The only question is whether they opt for the kicking game of Boyd or go with the game management of TMM?

We've seen how well TMM has gone at 7 last year when he has full control, I'd be going with him to replace Metcalf. What a time for TMM to go out and earn his next contract.

Maybe I'm going mental but I don't recall TMM doing much of note last year in the 7. Boyd's vastly more experienced in the position in first and reserve grades and IMO offers a much better boot.

He was literally the most in form number 7 in the comp for 5 or 6 rounds..

TBF he went OK in the 7 .Not in the 6 tho especially outside SJ. Goes missing @ 6
For me its a simple solution .Just slot Boyd straight into the 7 .
Less disruption & CHT has been going great .No brainer for me.

1. Taine Tuaupiki
2. Dallin Watene Zelezniak
3. Kurt Capewell
4. Adam Pompey
5. Roger Tuivasa Sheck
6. Chanel Harris Tavita
7. Tanah Boyd
8. James Fisher Harris
9. Wade Egan
10. Marata Niukore
12. Jacob Laban
13. Erin Clark

14. Te Maire Martin
15. Jackson Ford
16. Leka Halasima
17. Dimitric Vaimauga

In reality Berry will probably come in and we will need to drop someone to make room, most likely Jacob Laban drops out and Capewell takes his spot in the back row.

You can see where there is a niche in our team for Morgan Gannon who would afford the team an extra forward/half/Center. And I take Te Maire's use as a forward as further evidence that the club want that type of player as a staple to their team selections (Gannon will go NRL next year - if he gets through the trials okay, he is almost a certainty in my opinion).

I think it’s a godsend that CNK also got injured. Taine taking over at fullback gives legitimate X factor replacing what Metcalf offered

Why reselect Marata. He s doing not very much at all. Should mediocrity be constantly rewarded. Is that you coach AW?

Marata isnt going anywhere. He's been up and down but Webby isnt going to drop him thats pretty obv

Our team has a very green feel to it, and with a new half where there were not clearly better options I went with experience.

Of our props, who would you replace Marat with?

Based on recent game s in Cup I would give Tom Ale a shot.

 

[Dlenai]

I was feeling doom and gloom after Saturday night but now im excited to see how Boyd goes in the halves

 

[peewee]

I actually feel sorry for Boyd.
If he plays well, people will say that was expected
If he plays below best, the poor bugger will get crusified

I think if our forwards especially our props including JFH Marata and Ford can perhaps play near their potential best Boyd will look good.
However if 1/2 or 3 of those props play in similar style to the last two games v Broncos and Penrith you may be right.

 

[Wah u talkin about Wallis]

Any chance Benji Marshall comes to the Warriors as attacking coach. Strong chance he is the next Kiwi's Coach if Sj doesn't start firing.

Tom Ale easily for me. Actually makes metres and has footwork as well as an offload. He just doesn’t look scary like Marata, maybe that’s why he’s not getting picked lol

Zero chance

Fair call, Im not that keen on Marata and would like to see ale have another shot, suddenly our front row stock went from one of the best to pretty bad

 

[Billyspleen75]

Charnze MCL. Out 3-4 weeks

 

[Popdukes]

Charnze MCL. Out 3-4 weeks

Next man up!

And Adam O'Brian for defense coach?
