TeamList Warriors vs Storm - [Round 15, 2024]

[BangBro's (still banging)]

So Bunty Afoa nowhere on the longer list.
Committed some sort of team breach?

Surely next week Webby won’t demote Pompey to promote Rts?

I'm calling Montoya.

 

[Beastmode]

I’m far from a Pompey fan but he’s been solid as a rock the last 3 games. It would be crazy to drop him unless he has a real shocker this weekend.

RTS to wing. Montoya to Cup

 

[Ever Hopeful]

I hope not, he's a great depth player to have in the wider squad, and can do a job when called upon. It would be stupid to get rid of him knowing our injury luck.

Sifakula and Ale are ready now. Ford impressed

Others are coming. I genuinely think it is time to honour him for his services and move forward. I really wish you could have 35 slots though!

RTS to wing. Montoya to Cup

I love what Montoya brings - aggression, will to win, safe under the high ball (after some early season jitters). I don't see the ceiling raised that much with RTS right now tbh. Plus at half the price I would rather our future went with the cheaper option. I wouldn't lose sleep if Webby did go that direction though.

Nelson reached his peak that game last year, this year Jazz will trample him.

Resolute and aggressive defence. Line speed like last week which was great and we can win the ruck, play at pace and win by a bunch. I just don't know how many points might be in that bunch

Fair call, I wouldn't be mad either way..

 

[Worried2Death]

No idea where Capewell fits in all this?

He kept that left edge locked down tight on D last week, he was a machine, I reckon his experience is invaluable in reading the opposition, knowing where to be and communicating to his outsides. Gives me confidence seeing him there against the top teams.

I don’t disagree but he would need gigantic balls to do something like that. RTS is too well respected and Webby is too smart to pull a Tony Kemp type move by dropping RTS because of a few games where Montoya has shined.. he was shit during our 4 loss stint

 

[JustLikeStartingOver]

My dream is put 60 on em and webby goes into their sheds and tells them to keep their heads up.

Honestly if that was a dolphins line up with all the same players and not a storm team you’d say comfortable win

 

[KPWarrior]

This is the team that ends this damn streak! It has to be.

 

[Inruin]

This is the team that ends this damn streak! It has to be.

Our three game winning streak or the Storms winning streak over us? One of them ends Saturday

 

[John Nick]

Our three game winning streak or the Storms winning streak over us? One of them ends Saturday

Let's remain positive please.
I am amazed that a few weeks ago we were struggling to field a team and now...
What a turnaround

I think RTS would be great for those yardage metres and ability to scoot out of dummy half. Montoya has done nothing wrong but I think RTS continues that Penrith style of play of huge metres from your back 3

The Storms haha, should have clarified that.

A win here though would be pretty impressive streak.

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

Please please beat these shitheads. I do not care if TMM has no try assists nor if Tohu is only held together by bandages and starts or doesn't start. Just so sick of losing to these pricks.

Why not build Rts back up from cup?
None of these players deserve to be dropped after the last 3 weeks especially if we win this week, the mana which Marcelo has brought has been great.

He could be our Brian To'o, then again Monty brings a bit more physical intimidation when he dominates that edge, so I dunno, it's a tough call.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Will be interesting to see how Roger is utilised. I've agreed with every incumbents return except his. Pompey has grown into an important cog. Is SJ wanting to take penalties and conversions?

 

[Wrighty]

This match begins at the 25 minute mark when NAS walks on the field.

 

[Worried2Death]

When Nelson comes on he attracts multiple defenders to shut down his offloads near the line, but if he gets it away Hughes just flicks it to Katoa to run at the gaps. Everyone knows it, but it's very hard to stop. Addin and Tohu can lock up the ball but Jazz can't reach.
