It is easy to throw stones but harder to show restraint
24 hours out from the cup game, the side they have named has Kosi, MGT and Zyon Maiu’u as starting players. Might not be fool proof but could give an indication as to who isn’t involved from the extended bench?

Good intel. At about 4.15pm they will name the 18 for the warriors first grade side in the late mail.
6:05pm tonight is the 24 hour lineup updated
IMO Barney is basically the new AFB, without the drama and suspected dressing room turmoil
We played our best footy with Afoa starting last year, so we could go for Barney/Afoa, Ford/Laban/Capewell share second row, Walker 13, Marata/Jazz/Ale bench
Tohu can be prop depth with Afoa, 20min spells going hard
Compared to last year
+ve Barney upgrade -ve AFB
+ Ford reduced errors - Barney 2023 version moved out
+ Capewell - Marata second row
+ Marata impact - his foot
+ Jazz healthy - Tohu zombie
+ Ale upgrading - Curran
+ Laban/Zyon Maiu’u depth - Sifakula
So currently slightly in the negative due to Marata and Capewell unable to play at all, if Marata can sort out his injury/weight adaptation, Capewell is basically the replacement for Barney 2023 version, growth of Ford/Zyon Maiu’u/Laban probably put us as even as last year, depending on if AFB comes back as a beast, or if he’s gone if we can use him to bargain for a gun this year, both scenarios would put our pack in a plus territory compared to 2023

Gutted rocco is out because CNK was looking good at 6
TBF, Moala Graham Taufa is still on the extended bench so I guess you never know.
Interesting Pompey switches sides. Wonder what the reasoning is? CNK was sweeping around from fullback last year and feeding DWZ nicely so obviously comfortable passing that way
This team is literally held together with duct tape!
That’s what’s so impressive in knocking over the last 3 year premiers last week
Injuries are concentrating themselves by position this year.
We were losing middle all at the same time. 3 centres out this week.
I am keen on seeing CNK at centre. If he is better than RTS then they need to swap...
CNK played left for the Kiwis when he was centre didn't he? Wonder if that comes into it.
