Post Match Warriors vs Panthers - [Round 16, 2025]

[Damo]

In hindsight I actually think the TMM to centre debacle is poor coaching. He shouldve come on at FB and CNK to centre. Both far more experienced in those roles. To me TMM only covers halves and FB competently, hooker at a pinch, whilst CNK is equally adept at FB or centre.

The argument to that is TMM to centre was the least disruptive. Charnze is clearly the best Fullback at the club. TMM might not have many reps at the back in the past year or so.
Easy to say in hindsight it was the wrong decision but we don't know what happens week to week

The problem is they picked TSS on the bench rather than EIT. Particularly with Capewell not playing. EIT can cover centre & backrow. TSS didn’t end up getting much game time

Yeah there’s a bit of the loss hanging on Webster
Was Metcalf injured before the game. If so ( don’t know) should have been replaced with Tmm or Tanah
In hindsight Mgt was a bad choice defensively but I guess the other option was Harper not sure how he would go
The teams attitude was off a notch did they and Webster think all they had to do was turn up to best Penrith?
Not sure.

Metcalf got injured earlier in the second half. It’s hard to pickup because Barnett never interjects when an injury occurs

Yea agree, however correct me if I'm wrong, but they used TMM at fullback in one of the trials. I'd say there's an argument that CNK is the best centre at the club also, based off past performance there.

That's why I was saying TT should be the 14 going forward, not available in the weekend but he covers 1, 2, 5, 6 and CHT can move to 7 and 9

Yes they did use him in the trial and he made a decent fist of the role at the Cows and Broncos

There's a difference between training for it and playing it week in week out though and FB is essential to the defensive line.
Even Tuaupiki has said playing on the wing so much, he forgot how to play Fullback as effectively as he used to at first.

 

[CWC]

Would have been funny if someone asked how does he feel losing to a reserve grade side, I want to see the difference between Webby and Ivan
