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

[The Warrior Waka]

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.

Is SJ the new Kiwis Coach?

 

[kos]

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

A thought went through my mind today that maybe coach finds Marata scary.

 

[Rick O’Shay]

Has there been any sightings of Tom Ale, seems to have vanished into the wilderness. Injured? or another Motu Pasikala.

 

[Cces]

Do we think defence will be the top consideration when it comes to our Metcalf replacement? If so, Boyd has not defended on the right edge at all in 2025 where as TMM has in 6 NSW Cup games and has also lined up next to Berry before. Many seem to think Boyd is a certainty, but apart from picking Tuaupiki over Kosi to begin the season, history shows he tends to go back to the players he's previously put faith in

What's CHT done to get the arse

 

[Too much]

Going off how poor the Tigers attack looks under Benji (its ridiculously bad!) I dont think hes any chance of either coaching position

Create your own team formation

Charnze MCL. Out 3-4 weeks

As much as I don't want to see him injured at all I an so relieved about reading this.

Nothing really! I feel he,s got more to offer not just as a half. If used right could have more impact off the bench.

Pretty sure that Boyd will have to come in as the 7 .
Why do you think that CHT won't supplement Boyd as he was doing with Metcalf.
Imo TMM hasn't been effective at 6.
He went missing last year when pairing with SJ
Was much better at 7.

He wont
Andrew Webster loves him
Along with Boysenberry and Egan
Let’s gone Warriors

Haha mate, before this year I was the President of the anti CHT fan club, but if you can't see how well he's going, that's more a you thing than a Webby thing.

This humble pie tastes okay, give it a chance!

 

[CWC]

Webby doesn’t have faith in TMM IMO, otherwise he’d have the 7 jersey or at least 6 to pair with a new 7 (Luke)

With the lack of go forward we are getting that’s another favor to Boyd otherwise with a CHT and TMM combo, opposition will be starting their set inside our halves every time

For me, TMM and Boyd have been so good in NSW Cup and can replicate that in first grade.
I have watched most of the games.
They gave a knack doing the right thing and moving to each others side, sweeping around, changing sides, just click so well.

Good point there, but Chanel his been pivotal at 6 and really is building his game nicely this season he doesn't deserve to give up the position. Pleased we've dont have to make these tough calls, the recipe is there hopefully Webster can find the right one.

Agreed absolutely
However NRL is a totally different story.
Been proven over and over again
Faster stronger and more skilled

Decent Reply John.
Consider this.
TB and TMM(both sound like diseases)have over 150 NRL games between them.
Potentially either could have started the season beside LM and done just has well as Chanel No 6.
Thing is though Webby won’t drop a player who has been pretty decent and consistent…unless he gives him the 14 jersey!

The biggest difference in stepping up to the next level is the speed of which everything happens
Believe me it's huge difference.

Trying to be a half glass full kinda guy.

Yes, we lose Metcalf whose been killing it this year. But with both him and CNK out for the next 4 weeks, and against the Tigers, Knights and Titans it looks like we'll be able to muck around with a few of our options.

If we go TMM at fb, Taine on the wing (I'm assuming DWZ still out) and bringing Healey on to the bench I can see these positives and negatives:

Positives:
Better goal kicker (Tannah)
Better general kicking (Tannah)
More ball playing from the back (TMM)
More energy off the bench from dummy half (Healey)
More spark from wing (Taine)

Negatives:
Less meters from the back (CNK)
Cohesion and consistency (CNK, Metcalf)
Halves x factor (Metcalf)
No bench utility (TMM)

Unfortunately, so far Dallin hasn't been at his peak so I really don't think we lose anything from what we've had when Dallin's been playing this year.
As long as our forwards gain parity or dominate from the front, I think we'll go well. Excited to see what we can create. There could be a silver lining in these injuries....

Charnze MCL. Out 3-4 weeks

Don’t really see him as a big loss tbh. Needs to be centre.
Hopefully Tauapiki can cement his spot at fullback with his time he’ll get there.
