Pick Your Team Warriors vs Penrith [Finals , Week 1 2025]

NZWarriors.com

At the end of the season when teams are beaten up and using more of their wider squad, the Panthers are pretty much untouched by injury. The healthiest team in the NRL.

The Broncos have performed (for the most part) despite a rough run with injury, but a lot of the rest of the positions on the ladder tell an injury story.
 
People acting like TMM is some sort of saviour if he starts, but forget he has been on the field in 16 games this year for:

2 try assists
2 line breaks
Tackle rate 85%
10 kicks (193m)

He can plug gaps if someone is injured. A jack of all trades, master of none.
Thank you Tajhay for speaking for the silent majority who don't want to speak up against the following vocal factions

1) The TMM to play 7 or 6 faction despite the fact he hasn't played a full game at half this year
2) The promote Tom Ale into the side faction despite the zero first grade games he has played this season
3) The start Healey at hooker faction despite his lack of first grade experience
4) The Jett Cleary faction
5) The Ed Kosi should play ahead of Dallin faction
6) The Fish is useless faction and should be dropped for Tom Ale

The Boyd, CHT combo with CNK at the back is too vanilla.
We haven’t been getting the results.
Obviously the recent loss of Ford and Laban hadn’t helped with our go forward either.
TT and TMM will give us much more creativity and will back up all day.

Wrighty there is no silent majority scared to speak is there?
 
we have to play tmm at 7 don't we? Spooks the panthers because of his record against them and god we need something to happen around the ball to more of a degree than boyd has been providing
May as well run out that same team that beat them that time with a bit of added salt and pepper (Leka, Demi and co).Better than sitting in a snooze fest hoping for a miracle. But I agree Martin and Tauapiki need to be in the spine to create points. Probably better defensively as well

Whilst I don't necessarily disagree, I think if we are going to hang him on the 16 game stat, we should acknowledge he has played in a variety of positions (sometimes in desperate circumstances), played 80 once and had a total of 6 and a half games worth of time in the middle. He has hardly had the opportunity to put his best foot forward.

We're not talking about a half who is not doing his job over a run of starts. He is doing what the coach is asking of him satisfactorily, which is plugging gaps.

Our other options are CHT and Boyd so he could be.
you cant judge him off that, would be hard to find any kind of fluidity when your getting plugged at any random position in the middle of a game.
If we’re any chance of beating Penrith he needs to be there

What about the Lets put Bunty in -I m the chair of that group
 
TMM at 7 is not going to happen. Do people really want to see a CHT wnd TMM combo and have our last tackle kicks barely make it out of our own half!

If TMM plays it would be at 6 instead of CHT. TMM is not some amazing running and creative half going to carve up the Panthers and he is so good that he plays over the only player in our team who has a long kicking game.

As mentioned before CHT is good as a secondary kicker and can make kicking metres but not as our primary kicker. And as for TMM's long kicking game.....

Tmm will not bring anything different to Boyd who is our best goal kicker by a long way. Nothing about TMM but he will not make any difference
