Team List Wests Tigers v NZ Warriors - [Round 4, 2026]

[The Warrior Waka]

Even if we have a world beating season, their attitude towards us won't change. We just have to accept that and block out the noise. Even when we were minor premiers in 2002, we were rank outsiders in the prelim final against Cronulla who were ranked lower than us throughout the whole year.

You're right bro. I hope they continue to doubt us and we continue to win.

 

[CWC]

I will be happy to just win by 12-18 while the halves gel, no heart attacks though

Drop 50 on them in the first half.

Bubble wrap Metcalfs leg, put him back in the box and send CHT out in the second half.

All these NRL Footy shows and youtube channels waxing lyrical about the unbeaten panthers and no one will beat them. No mention of the table topping Wahs ? Fucking bias cunts.

round 1 - They beat a out of sorts Broncos 0 - 26. We beat the Roosters 42 - 18.

Round 2 - The beat a mud Sharks side 26 - 6
We beat a dangerous Raiders side 40 - 6.

Round 3 they defeated the Roosters 40 - 4.
We defeated the previously undefeated Knights(Yes , without there 2 biggest stars) on their home ground 38 - 12.

This week's lineup has the ability to take the Riff. Put some respect on our name!! Can't wait to play the panthers and shut these hating ass Aussies mouths up!!

Willie Mason rates us and thinks we could win the chip and go at the riff

I may be way overthinking it but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Lukey met drop back to the bench. I wonder if the naming of the 6 and 7 was around signalling to Tannah that he has currently won the jersey - that might be important if other clubs are sniffing around

Gannon has to earn the right to be part of the forward rotation. He's barely played one cup game before the concussion.

Clearly Webster sees him as a regular NRL player, given after some conditioning in the NSW cup he was named as a starter....not a bench player....and named ahead of Marata....and Webster said he told Gannon to take it easy with the HIA because he is here to play a lot of NRL.

Herald team naming. Someone having a laugh with number 19

When Metcalf got injured last year I wrote it was a good chance for Boyd coming into a winning side. Individually everyone should have confident. If everyone did their role it would have been easier for a new half coming in.

A long season and other issues meant we were on a bit of a slide.

Now things are reversed. Metcalf is coming into a side which has been winning and confidence should be high. Hopefully that makes it easier for him.

 

[Boats n Hoes]

What a testament to how well we're rolling when u have Tauapiki and Chanel who have played really well thus far cant make your line up. Thanks for the service lads.....she's a long season ive no doubt they'll get first grade time.

Id be surprised if Luke hits the ground all guns blazing....gotta imagine they;ll be rust. and how him and Tanah organize the playmaking will be very interesting.....who plays 2nd reciever, does the majority of the kicking, calls the shots in the red zone......lots to look out for.

Wouldve loved a dry track but its supposed to be shit isnt it?

 

[Defence]

I think he will be very comfortable back in the 6 jersey
These are his games by position in both NRL and Cup

Crazy how few games he’s actually played.
Surprisingly Boyd has played twice as many nrl games.

 

[3rdstriker]

I'm not expecting too much from Metcalfe. First game back, and out of position, give him a few weeks to fire on all cylinders. Hopefully a statement against the Storm

Out of position? I think he's sitting back in his right position now thankfully.

 

[Horriors2013]

He'll be motivated to play us. Its a tale as old as time.

They might play Bunty too.

No problem. Smash em bro!

After I saw the team, in the words of Jeremy Clarkson, "I had a crisis!!!"

This is the post of the thread!

 

[Horriors2013]

hope he is actually ready and not a premature return. We aren't in a position of needing to rush him back.

David Riccio seems like a premature ejaculator. Likes to share signings that don't yet exist, now he knows more about Luke's injury than us. Considering the Aussie commentators never seem to be in tune with our team I'll take his words eith a grain of salt.

The bars really this low, eh?

I think it must be that deep love of Chanel while also caring for Metcalfs protection=brilliant. #50pointhidings

still waiting for the Warbrick news. Hasn't it been 10 days since his story?

Now that I think about it, it would be funny to have Metcalf wheeled out in a 'Break Glass In Case of Emergency' box and bust him out with a hammer.

The suspense would be palpable.
