What about Vaimauga on Olakau'atu? I'm sure Demetric would embrace the challenge of folding that behemoth of a galoot.Crystal Ball gazing and foreshadowing better use of the bench rotation this week,
Ford to sub Capewell throughout the game to keep a relatively fresh guy on D against Olakau'atu. Those guys to effectively play a half each but in quarters.
Vaumanga to sub Barnett, Leka for Niukore who then moves to the middle and subs JFH with 15 to go.
Walker on for Clark with Barnett back on for Niukore for the last 10

It's not. You can see on Ticketmaster there's still heaps of tickets, particularly in the upper south.Is it a SELL OUT again? Anyone know ?
Let’s blow our trumpet!
I think the wave of hype from 2023 is slowly fading. No doubt it'll come back with a string of good results, but last year was really based on successes a year earlier.

No changes to our lineup.
Koula out for manly which is a big out.
Edit - Kosi, Afoa and Healey culled from extended bench. TMM and Eddie Ieremia-Toeava remain.

Im confused with Eddie Ieremia-Toeava. Is he that close to making his first grade debut? He was 18th man last week and again with TMM as the ones not culled from extended bench. Is it because of his utility value? Im not sure if he is ready for first grade just yet.
Would have preferred Bunty or Healey in there to provide some late options.

Weird that Manly had the opportunity to put Tommy Talau at centre but instead put Clayton Faulalo. Should be a good matchup with Ali.
Pretty sure he plays right side on attack, which is where CHT defendsHe will be running at Metcalf! So they will know where he is!

They are rating him ahead of Morgan Harper. Harper is not in the final 19. And I was expecting Harper to be next cab off the rank. This is a strong sign they do rate EIT, It means Harper really is here as "deep" depth.
They also rate EIT ahead of MGT as EIT played the second trial at centre.
Regarding Healy. You raise a good point @tajhay - in our line ups before the year started I had healy in my 17 as a back up hooker to spell Egan. I am very very very surprised they have gone with 4 forwards and given we went with a hooker on the bench last year I would feel the warriors have not necessarily broken an implicit promise to me if I were Healy but I would feel a bit frustrated based on certain assumptions he and his agent would have made prior to coming to the warriors. I hope my point is clear.
We're not privvy to the conversations that are being had - they may have said they want him to learn the Warriors offence via NSW for a few weeks, or to work on some element of his game.
He will get his chance and I'm sure they're reminding him of that.
