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.

 

[CWC]

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

Good to see those goggles working. I wear them too, blind as without them

It was cataract surgery mate on one eye and I dont wear glasses after. The next day after surgery I could read 3 extra lines on the eye chart than before with glasses. Also it will get better as I have trauma from the op and stitches invthe eye. Honestly, it is life changing.

 

[SouthernWorrier]

I have thought about it and I think Pompey should be the kicker. Sure Adam misses the really hard ones but he nails the easy ones every time.

yeah.....nah. I think them persevering with LM confirms AP is the third choice centre and isn't assured of a place in FG long term. Keep on with LM, he'll need to have the practice under his belt by the pointy end of the season.

Bit tough on AP, I'm a fan and feel he's under rated overall and never lets us down. But he's not fast enough for a winger and I do think Ali and Rocco are stronger options @ Centre. Good position for the club to be in when it's been such a point of weakness for so long.

 

[watcher]

It seems to me that a lot of that organising role is being done by Egan, CHT and Clark. LM will take more of that role as he gets more comfortable in his new 7 role

And probably take on the line in time.Doesnt seem to be playing his natural game at present but probably under instructions.

 

[Kav1]

Having beaten Brisbane this year I look forward to going up against the table topping dogs, panthers and sharks as well. Because I want our guys to belt those dog mongrels (I still have time for Curren and Monty). I want to beat Penrith and watch Fish against his old team. And I want Leka and Demetric to overcome the force that is Addin

Don't forget the Raiders-beat us up in Vegas and currently in 3rd position (and we play them in Canberra; always tough to beat)

In our favour we play them in Auckland (they got the home game round 1)

Is Sailor the one that filled in previous seasons?

Yeah it keeps on improving for three -four months.
Just follow all your instructions to a t.
I m going back for the 12 month laser soon.

It’s a testament to the surgery because I’m sure I read a post yesterday morning I couldn’t understand very well from watcher? Definitely something really important vision and something that can be taken for granted. As mentioned, I’m reliant on spectacles, compulsory for driving in my case
