Post Match Warriors vs Broncos - [Round 7, 2025]

[CWC]

Don't think you are allowed blockers. I'm not sure why teams push into the 10m area before going for the drop goals. But gives the defenders less ground to cover to try a charge down. Also be good to have the backline set one way so if they rush we can spread it and possibly take advantage of numbers.

I think with his pace if we place Taine, Leka and Ali on one side against rush defense we probably score

Key is having options. And if you are in position early in the set use it as a fake attempt to spin it wide. Then come back to the middle next tackle to set up again

I’ve always wondered if you can use your captains challenge on that play too because no markers are ever on side in that instance

Very good question. Not sure if the bunker can rule on that or not?

I reckon bunker would make specsaver level calls

Just look at that Walsh try lol, called full speed forward motion elbow contact and then the ball is called backwards

I’m a big CHT fan too, but like you don’t know exactly where he fits at this stage. He reminds me of Thomas Leulauai, someone who is all effort and you want in your 17, but is he a 6? His performances have been good this year and he is always defensively sound, but does he have enough at 6 to break down the top teams?

Yes, he does have enough to break down the top teams, and I contend that is his running game. He has been taking the line on many times this year, with his deception, strength and speed. If he persists with this, and Metcalfe offers a running threat on the other side or similar, he will constantly draw defensive attention and open up his passing game.

He has all the talent in the world, he just needs to beleive it IMHO.

You cannot challenge 10m

Barney tried to challenge the 2nd DG attempt and was told by the ref he couldn’t

Barney’s bloody good with the refs he Dosent sook at them, they give him an answer, they don’t shoo him away like many of our captains.

Man would you try and shoo Barney away? Or JFH either? The more you think about it the more making them co captains was a good move

Ed Kosi

Played two Games - Warriors won both games - FACT
Tackle Efficiency - 100% in 2025 - FACT
Average running metres 144 metres - FACT

I think it is going to be a tough call to bring Berry back in. I think they will bring Rocco back. But Ed has done himself no harm with his play in his two matches.

His hit ups out of our end have been very influential due to his large ballast.

Their time on the field together should be limited.

Imagine a ref having Fish and Barney standing in front and behind you
