TeamList Warriors vs Eels - [Round 22, 2024]

[Tookey 2.0]

Sifakula to come in to the 17 on game day? Not many pick a prop as 18th man.

Hoping Ale doesn't get dropped!

Disappointed for TMM, but I guess for the next 5 rounds this is what's best for the team.

I wonder what SJ's thought process is - this next 5 games could essentially be his last hurrah. I get 'the team was going shit and I came in with 5 rounds to go and steered them to a grand final' vibes....

The matchup we have all been waiting for

Be better than the team is now going well I'm fit to play coach, shit just lost to the Storm and thrashed by the Titans, I'm injured bro, I can't go on vibes from earlier this season. I hope he is fit and the team go well, otherwise it really is season over.

First game that I have been excited for in a while.

Chanel and Leka keeping their spots, and SJ and CNK coming back fully* healthy really gets the blood flowing to all the right places lol

*I mean, surely the lesson has been well and truly learnt...

 

[Beastmode]

Pretty good team list.
Cant complain.
Not yet, anyway

It's a weird one. If he is injured why put him in the reserves. Unless it's a I can play if I need to and there really isn't anyone else I guess who can play 7

Not injured just battered half syndrome. Needs a week off. But Egan starting is hurting my working brain cells

I just did. Egan........give him time off please webby

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

Like the looks of this team. They need to be good as the Eels last week played well last week.

 

[jumpman5xl]

Please SJ and Charnze be at 100% not at 85. Otherwise, looks the goods.

Egan has that sober alcoholic look to me. You know when they haven't had a drink for a while but basically their blood is now alcohol anyway and you can still smell it coming through their pores. He has had so many head knocks it isn't making a difference anymore. Scary thing for me is even if you just look at the last game and the number of times he was in trouble and nothing from independent doctor or AW. I am genuinely worried about his future life.

 

[Wrighty]

For me, it's the fact that we actually have some semblance of size on the bench.

Change since last week
Ford 187cms 101 kgs
Ale 184 cms 109 kgs

 

[Makasene]

As I've been saying for sometime.

Ford starts or not at all.

Obviously he is injured but just look at the balance with him not there

Ale 184 cms 109 kgs

Fair enough.

 

[Leon Black]

Weird everyone dissing TMM, his assist rate at 7 off the charts. SJ has been rubbish all year with a winning percentage of under 50%

RTS has to play fullback, shift CNK into the centres MGT to the wing. Least Ford is out finally, but not form related.

He is obviously a coach favourite and probably deservingly so as we only base our opinions of players from 80 min showing each week. Until the injury we was the only player at the club to feature in all games so far this season.

 

[Wrighty]

Fair enough.

I wasn't negging your point. I was just responding to keep the conversation flowing.
I think Ale does give us a bit more size at prop and on the bench.

Sifakula is 18th. He might offer some size

I feel your point and I knew someone was going to advocate RTS staying at fullback. To further this point RTS will be playing left wing which is the wrong edge for his step.
Unfortunately egos and sacred cows are involved. CNK thinks he is a full back. He has tanked it at full back his last three games but has so much credit in the bank from last year it is hard to pull the plug or more importantly for the coach to feel he has the license to pull the plug at this stage.
For RTS yet another position for him to play. He has turned into a deluxe rolls royce utility option for him to fill in where ever we have an injury.
The backline will play as well as CNK plays. Which doesn't make me as hopeful as some of the other posters.
Lets hope they all fire. Fire up Warriors.

In reality sure he offers more size than Ale but not according to the official stats
Ale 184cms 109 kgs
Sifakula 183cms 104 kgs

To add to the discussion.... CNK didn't tank, he exhausted. He in my opinion was also ragged and it contributed to his injury. Now he's back and if actually fit I back him.

RTS can still use his step but I'd prefer he catch dive score or catch smash them and score or catch pass catch pass score without a single broadcasted on every network left foot step
