Team List Warriors vs Manly - [Round 2, 2025)

[Te Mana-wah]

Easy money 13+ Manly this week

 

[Warriorshopeful]

Erin Clark - 180cm 98 kg
JFH - 187cm 103kg
Barnett - 187cm 104kg
Jackson Ford - 187cm 101kg

Taniela Paseka - 197CM 120kg.
Aloai - 189cm 106kg
Olakau'atu - 196cm 113kg
Sipley - 190cm 120kg

Just gonna leave this here why are all our forwards the same size? I think we may run into a similar issue with Manly as we did against the Raiders unless we wrap the ball and stop offloads. Can't really see us winning the ruck with such a small pack, we're desperately missing AFB with his size - let alone the other attributes he offered the team.

 

[WA Warrior]

Realistically, we were poor in most aspects for our first game.

I'm not opposed to giving the players the opportunity to remedy this.

It's a win-win situation for Webby, if we produce a magic victory hes going to be seen as a special coach, whereas if the same shit happens and we get pumped, he can ring in the changes yet still be the good guy where he tried to let the team take accountability and improve on their shit performance.

Yeah it makes sense.
I just hope he founds some balls this year if players don’t play to the correct standard.
Even Payten dropped Nanai after 1 week for his performance.
Accountability has to start sometime Webby.

Vs

8. JFH, 187cm and 103kg
9. Egan, 185cm and 91kg
10. Barnett, 187cm and 104kg
11. Capewell, 189cm and 100kg
12. Niukore, 188cm and 106kg
13. Clark, 180cm and 98kg

At least we’ll have “line speed”………

If Ford isn’t starting AND playing 80. What’s that actual point of having him.

Sorry to be a Debbie downer but, I’m almost certain we’re going to lose this.
Manly paying $1.57

Yeah but Ford seem way bigger when we start him instead of coming off the bench.

Coach Andrew Webster indicated more than 24 hours before naming the lineup that he would be staying with the same combination.

“If I’m honest, I want to give these guys an opportunity to right the wrongs. You won’t see many changes at all,” he said.

----
If it wasn't round one in a totally alien country with a huge amount of pressure I'm sure it'd be easier to drop people. Hopefully the bench is managed a lot better and the boys show up. None of those excuses work at home.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Honestly Cnk is not a fullback he's a glorified winger

A winger ? Like, The position where a league team would have their fastest players? Are you sure?

 

[1995 Sufra!]

I’ll b there so let’s give Cuddles benefit of the doubt but he’s setting himself up!

Easy money 13+ Manly this week

Yeah probably hope warriors win but manly are my second team so can't lose.

 

[Dannevegas]

No Ale or Laban on the extended bench is bs.
The matchups are scary as well, surely Start Leka on Haumoles side, I reckon Leka would love the challenge and rise to it, because of his attitude. Capewell will get destroyed. But experience…

Ye I agree if it was a one off and we played bad just against the raiders, but we looked the same most games last year with mainly the same players.

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

Jeremiah Nanai has been dropped to QCUP. I wish Webby had the balls to do the same with our underperforming back rowers

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

You watch Cuddles bring Ford into the starting lineup......

 

[WA Warrior]

You watch Cuddles bring Ford into the starting lineup......

When did this Cuddles become a thing

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

When did this Cuddles become a thing

Seems just the right name for Webster as far as I am concerned

 

[WA Warrior]

Seems just the right name for Webster as far as I am concerned

Nah makes sense!

 

[1995 Sufra!]

I agree
He’s picking same guys as he did last year
You keep picking same players
You keep getting same results

 

[CWC]

lol kinda scary when we random Joe can predict his moves

Feel like becoming a hate watching YouTuber soon might start a channel and get a lot of views for negativity “He’s DONE!” ROBBO’s PISSED!”

 

[Ref]

Manly present pretty much the same attacking dynamic as Canberra.
So they will likely score 25-30 points.
Our attack v Canberra was pedestrian and telegraphed.
The only way we can win is obviously by rushing up and preventing the offloads and winning the tackle.
And everything falling into place on attack.
And Leka and Demi getting on early.
And Manly being subconsciously overconfident.
And maybe getting TMM into the 17.

 

[CWC]

So another 80 min for Egan or if he gets busted our only real creative powerhouse Walker moves to hooker or 6?
